Back in 1980, in Houston, Texas, I was bullied in high school. I tried to ignore the gang but the bullying just grew worse. The first major attack was at a bonfire party and about 30 teens attacked me in my car. A number of them then showed up later that night at my home and attacked my family in our own front yard.My family was terrorized for months including horrible death threats of our bodies being found in a bag in bloody pieces. I was attacked with bats, chains and tire irons on multiple occasions. My friends were also attacked with bricks and were constantly threatened to stay away from me. I was completely ostracized, with the exception of one amazing friend, Jim, who stuck by me.I nearly failed every class that semester and I had been a consistent straight-A honor student. It got so bad my family had to hire private security and we armed ourselves. Our life had become a gut-wrenching nightmare. Even after several nervous breakdowns, I refused to back down and we beat the bullies in a court of law. I became the first person in the country to hold parents legally responsible for the actions of their kids.I am Mark Simon and this is my story.

Inspirational stories to get you off your ass. "Paying your dues" is for other people. Why spend years toiling away at low-end jobs when it's possible to start right at the top? With passion and drive, you can go for what you want and achieve it. Mark Simon has done it... many times. At 12, he had his own line of skateboards. At 14, he was superintendent of a construction company. While studying advertising in college, he drove past two billboards he designed and sold to local companies. With no writing experience, he accidentally sold his first book to a publisher. He went from being an assistant to running a department in three hours. Mark sold his first training program to Keller Williams Realty, now the largest realty company in the world. It took him just 15 minutes to land his dream job with Steven Spielberg. It took him one call and one meeting to work on The Walking Dead. He landed Disney as his first animation client. But with big swings, also comes big misses. He fucked up a deal to work with the director of the SpongeBob SquarePants movie. He screwed up an opportunity with animation gods Hanna-Barbera (creators of The Flintstones, Scooby Doo and many others). There are lessons to be learned from failures.Dozens of stories and photos have been pulled from Mark's amazing life to prove to you that you can get what you want without "paying your dues". Mark was inspired to write this book to guide and motivate his college-aged sons. The lessons he gained from each success and each failure are invaluable. He hopes these same stories will inspire you to start at the top.

Hi, Mark Simon here. I consider myself a very fortunate person. I grew up on a farm that has been in our family since 1865. I was the fifth generation to farm the land. I grew up working with my dad, my uncle, my cousins, and my grampas. I also feel fortunate to have been able to spend a lot of time with my son, Josh, who was the inspiration of these stories.Over twenty years ago, I was in a car crash that left me partially disabled. Josh began helping me with milking the cows and other chores around the farm when he was twelve years old. Josh would have been the sixth generation to have farmed. We were forced to sell our herd of cows due to events beyond our control. After we had sold our cows, I would tell Josh stories of him growing up.Now you're probably wondering how the name Mookie came about. Back in the day, I was a pretty good ball player and coach. I felt that with my coaching, Josh would have been a pretty good ball player. But the accident I was in put that to a screeching halt. Anyway, I thought Mookie would be a good name for a baseball player, so I was calling Josh Mookie before he was born. These are some of our stories up to the time when he became house broke (out of diapers).
