The best book I've ever read!!

Claytie is the best book I've ever read. his life and beliefs are so parallel to mine it is scary. We even have the same birhday. Claytie's no BS West Texas demeanor really shows through and you get a sense of what the man stands for and how he reacts to different situations.

An inside look that will change your mind

Clayton Williams has let Mike Cochran tell all in this interesting, humorous and sometimes sad book about his life. Williams is equally candid about his successes and failures. Clayton Williams has taught in the classroom at Texas A & M University and any young entrepreneur or student would benefit from the lessons lived on the pages of this book. This man has made millions from nothing...over and over again! If you enjoy reading about Texas politics, self-made millionaires or just an interesting non-fiction read about a real-life character, this story is for you.

This Book is Worth The Read

Holy Cow. This man has made more and lost more than most people will ever have! He started with $2,000, built the first DIGITAL long distance network in America, ran for Texas Governor and still loves to raise cattle - where he started. I loved the Book. Mike Cochran says he wrote the story "painfully honest." I think it is painfully funny and is full of lessons a young person really needs to read. Good job - great book. I'm buying more for Christmas Gifts.

Claytie

I've Worked For Him

Many of the stories I've heard. Many were much less detailed than what I lived. Overall, a wonderful book about business and life. Clayton is a better than average man. In all areas of his being.
