About the Book

Free yourself from business overwhelm and STOP being a slave to your business. This is the story of Mordam Records, the ten-million dollar, punk rock music distribution company founded by Ruth Schwartz in 1983. Like most successful entrepreneurs, Ruth found herself wearing "golden handcuffs" - invisible chains that kept her bound to her business 24/7. Through her own willfulness and possibly by accident, Ruth found the key to having a business that works without you: a business where everyone becomes a contributing partner. She teaches these skills nationally as "The Million Dollar Leadership Coach" that are now available in this book. Using the words of many of the people who worked at Mordam Records over the years, Ruth's story will enable you to remove your own handcuffs, and see that doing so will also free all of the amazing people that work for you. "It's too bad that other people don't have this process 'cause a lot of people go in for their MBAs and get all this academic business training but they also have huge turnovers of employees and training is a time and cost intensive process." - Max (Maria) Miccozzi "Yeah, everybody cared about what was going on and everybody cared about each other and everybody cared about their job and everything.
