About the Book

PRAISE FOR MAKE IT BIG! "In the competitive world of ultra high-end residential real estate, Frank McKinney has managed to do what I've done with projects all over the world. His groundbreaking deals and brand-making attention to detail have enabled him to make it big within his chosen field. Read his book and learn how you too can become a great success." -- Donald J. Trump "Frank McKinney is in the vanguard of . . . multimillion-dollar spec home builders." -- Fortune "Frank McKinney has always liked to live on the edge ...he likes to live dangerously." -- The Wall Street Journal "Frank is a real estate entrepreneur extraordinaire. The vision he applies in creating his estate homes will someday be legendary. Everyone should be interested in his compelling life story." -- George F. Valassis, founder/former CEO Valassis Communications, Inc. If you wish to enter the real estate profession, you will find much in these pages to help you. However, anyone can benefit from these 49 philosophies and learn from the examples Frank describes. The stories of succeeding against enormous odds, sacrificing personal comfort to put everything into your business, living according to your vision, putting in a full day's work day in and day out, contributing to others, and enjoying your life every moment, I believe can provide great inspiration no matter what your stage or status in life. -- Rich De Vos, cofounder Amway, excerpted from the Foreword
