Former star of the classic TV series M*A*S*H, Wayne Rogers has, over the past four
decades, become an enormously successful entrepreneur and businessman—and in Make Your
Own Rules he shows you how to retain your own identity and reap tremendous rewards in your
career and business while doing so.
Using fascinating examples from his wide array of experiences—all of which
involved leaping into situations where he lacked the traditional background in a
particular field— Rogers presents a clarion call to the creative-minded person who
isn’t quite sure how to apply that creativity to the world of business.
How do you make your way in the business world without becoming a robot?
What are the secrets to distinguishing yourself and finding out-of-the-box
solutions?
Make Your Own Rules encourages you to see things from a fresh perspective,
color outside the lines, and avoid becoming a slave to convention.
Whether you’re trying to move up the ranks, make a career transition, or
develop your own business, the advice in this must-read book will help you realize your
full potential.
