A compelling story of entrepreneurial determination

Are you ready to embark on an inspiring journey of resilience and success, especially for those often facing daunting challenges in our society? Dana Frank's debut book, Get Up & Get On It! A Black Entrepreneur's Lessons on Creating Legacy & Wealth, is a powerful testament to the enduring spirit of individuals from marginalized communities, such as People of Color and women navigating the male-dominated business world.

This captivating narrative traces its roots back to 1950 when Gerald Frank, a determined Black man, arrived in Seattle at the tender age of 18. Fleeing the violence of Detroit and the suffocating grip of Jim Crow Laws, Gerald carried nothing but dreams and drumsticks in his heart. His unwavering belief that he could carve out a better life set the stage for an incredible journey. Today, over 70 years later, the real estate empire forged by Gerald and his wife, Theresa, in Seattle's Central District continues to flourish under the guidance of the third generation of the Frank family. But theirs was not a journey paved with silver spoons.

In Get Up & Get On It!, Dana Frank paints a vivid picture of the hurdles her family faced. Dana herself confronted racial barriers as her father made unconventional business choices. When her parents' thirty-two-year marriage ended in a bitter divorce, Dana and her mother emerged as fearless business partners, facing the brink of bankruptcy left by her father. Their story is a testament to fortitude, perseverance, bravery, and unrelenting hard work. As a single mother and entrepreneur, Dana learned the power of leveraging her network, staying true to her story, and envisioning a brighter future.

Today, as the President of The TD Frank Family Properties, Dana's mission is clear: to teach how to create generational wealth by working smarter, not harder. She emphasizes a timeless truth: "Equity grows, cash erodes," and reveals how real estate investments can be a game-changer for future generations. Dana firmly believes that anyone, regardless of their birth circumstances, can rewrite the trajectory of their lives.

Get Up & Get On It: A Black Entrepreneur's Lessons on Creating Legacy & Wealth offers:

  • Personal stories filled with humor and invaluable insights on reshaping your inner narrative.
  • A straightforward yet potent approach to building generational wealth through the R.E.A.L. method: Research, Expand, Amplify, and Leverage connections.
  • Guidance on gaining advantages, progressing, fostering empowerment, and achieving success in wealth-building through real estate.
  • A treasure trove of historical photos that illuminate the family's ties to challenging real estate markets and their connections with the vibrant music scene of the 1960s, 70s, and 80s, featuring Dana's uncle, Quincy Jones.
  • Original social-justice poems penned by Dana Frank herself throughout the book, amplifying the narrative that People of Color can indeed "Get Up and Get On It!"

Get Up & Get On It: A Black Entrepreneur's Lessons on Creating Legacy & Wealth is a compelling story of determination that challenges conventional paths to freedom. It is essential reading not only for business influencers, entrepreneurs, executives, and philanthropists but also for anyone seeking inspiration and the keys to unlocking their full potential. Dive into Dana Frank's remarkable journey and discover how to rewrite your own story of success.

這個引人入勝的敘述追溯到1950年,當時一位堅定的黑人男子Gerald Frank在18歲的年紀來到西雅圖。逃離底特律的暴力和吉姆·克勞法律的壓迫,Gerald心中只有夢想和鼓槌。他堅定的信念,相信自己可以開創更好的生活,為一段不可思議的旅程奠定了基礎。如今,70多年後,在Gerald和他的妻子Theresa在西雅圖中區建立的房地產帝國在Frank家族的第三代的指導下繼續蓬勃發展。但他們的旅程並不是銀匙鋪就的。

在《Get Up & Get On It!》中,Dana Frank生動地描繪了她的家族所面臨的障礙。Dana本人在父親做出非傳統的商業選擇時遇到種族障礙。當她父母32年的婚姻以激烈的離婚收場時,Dana和她的母親成為無畏的商業夥伴,面對父親留下的瀕臨破產的局面。他們的故事是堅韌、毅力、勇氣和不懈努力的證明。作為一位單身母親和企業家,Dana學會了利用自己的人脈網絡,忠於自己的故事,並展望更光明的未來。

如今,作為TD Frank家族物業的總裁,Dana的使命很明確:教導人們如何通過更聰明的工作方式創造世代財富。她強調一個永恆的真理:“資產增值,現金侵蝕”,並揭示了房地產投資對未來世代的重要性。Dana堅信,無論出生環境如何,任何人都可以改寫他們生活軌跡。

《Get Up & Get On It: A Black Entrepreneur's Lessons on Creating Legacy & Wealth》提供:

- 充滿幽默和寶貴見解的個人故事,重塑內在敘事的方法。
- 通過R.E.A.L.方法(研究、擴展、放大和利用聯繫)建立世代財富的直接而有力的方法。

- Dana Frank本人在整本書中創作的原創社會正義詩歌,加強了有色人種確實可以“Get Up and Get On It!”的敘述。
