What if the secret to success isn't brilliance -- but heartbreak? When You Are Down - Book 3: The Personal Battles of Business Legends reveals the untold side of the world's most iconic entrepreneurs -- not what they built, but what they endured to build it. Before McDonald's, Ray Kroc sold milkshake machines from his car trunk well into his fifties. Before Mickey Mouse, Walt Disney lost everything -- his studio, his team, even his smile. Before Alibaba, Jack Ma was rejected by over 30 jobs, including KFC. Before beauty counters bore her name, Estée Lauder was dismissed as "too pushy" to succeed. In this powerful and raw third installment of the When You Are Down series, bestselling founders and business leaders are reintroduced not as invincible moguls, but as human beings. People who failed publicly, grieved privately, and pushed forward anyway -- with nothing but grit, vision, and something to prove. Whether you're an entrepreneur, dreamer, or just trying to hold it together -- this book isn't about playbooks or profits. It's about pain. And what it really takes to build something that lasts.
