"I'm not a drug dealer.
I'm not a rapper.
I'm not an athlete.
But I am very successful."
That's not how you're supposed to open a speech if you're a successful businessman. Especially if you're a successful minority businessman in America.
But I'm no ordinary businessman, this was no ordinary speech, and I've had no ordinary life.
JT McCormick shouldn't have succeeded.
He was born the mixed-race son of a negligent, drug-dealing pimp father and a struggling, single mother. He was raised in the slums of Dayton, Ohio, suffered incredible abuse and racism, and had multiple stints in the juvenile justice system. He barely graduated high school and has no college degree.
But succeed he did.
Starting by scrubbing toilets, JT hustled and worked his way into better opportunities, eventually finding incredible success in the mortgage industry. He was on top of the world.
And then it all fell apart. He lost his job, and his money.
But instead of stopping him, this setback became the springboard for him to reach even bigger heights--eventually growing and becoming President of a multimillion-dollar software company, and then CEO of a multimillion-dollar book-publishing start-up.
Gripping, heartbreaking, enlightening, and ultimately uplifting, I Got There proves that no obstacle is too difficult to conquer--and that the game can be won by anyone, from anywhere.
I Got There How I Overcame Racism Poverty and Abuse to Achieve the American Dream eBook JT McCormick Tucker Max
Not a fan of self help books. Tony Robbins will NEVER inspire me to walk on hot coals to “think and grow rich.” To me, the American dream seems to only bless just a lucky, selected few to make us regular folks believe we can find the “the secret” to success.JT McCormick’s story challenged my theory and won.
I’m still having trouble believing that anyone can survive what he experienced as a kid and lived to tell it in this wonderfully written, modern-day Dickens tale.
Growing up poor as dirt, abused, neglected and literally nowhere to turn is the sad, despairing setting within the first half of the book. And, because you know he is still alive and had the audacity to become a multi millionaire, you can’t fight the urge to find out what happened next nor put the book down. But, take note, you’ll need a few seconds to pause and ask “wait…What? Why? How?”
The book credibly compliments the strengths of Mr. McCormick’s character. He always makes a conscious effort to say hello to everyone (thank to a bittersweet moment with his dad) and showers the women who clean his office with grand gestures of appreciation. He takes pride in being the best damn toilet cleaner in the universe. And, he hustles like no other to go that extra mile, breaking records as a salesman. However, what makes this story more compelling is the poignant view of his weaknesses. His success as a salesman involved selling products and services to those unable to afford them and just as poor as he was growing up. Also, despite his amazing drive to be the best of the best, he somehow lost a buttload of money (and pride) in the housing market crash leaving him nearly poor a second time. The most gripping part within the book (and also very climactic) is the daunting guilt he shares of an unfortunate childhood memory of his younger half sister.
Mr. McCormick’s journey is a success story that doesn’t rely on promoting a set of rules to abide by to become a millionaire mogul. His success is that, although the memories still haunt him, he lived to tell. AND, the true happy ending is his continued passion to mentor and help others at risk. Priceless.

I Got There How I Overcame Racism Poverty and Abuse to Achieve the American Dream eBook JT McCormick Tucker Max Reviews
Mr. McCormick's book shook my perspective on teaching inner city youth and my approach to dealing with daily life. His subtitle "How I Overcame Racism, Poverty, and Abuse to Achieve the American Dream" tells you exactly what you're getting when you open this book. From the word go, JT takes a head-on approach to his life and the writing makes it highly readable. His vulnerability and rawness throughout the book makes it a deeply relate-able story that allows you to take the journey with him while learning the advice he has to offer along the way. This book showed me what the results of work ethic, optimism, drive, determination, and a good handshake can do for you. It provided me with life lessons such as not needing to go to the traditional route to reach your goals and dreams, and that it is possible to escape the hood and live the life you have imagined yourself living. It taught me that doors can be opened regardless of your skin color or background if you're willing to work.
If you are, in any way, involved with children, I strongly recommend you pick this book up and read it. This book is the blueprint to show these children what they can achieve. This book can help you change someone's life. Use this book to someone else so they can someday look back and say "I Got There."
What's the difference between those who make it and those who don't? JT Mccormick shows us that you can't get to a place if you don't know it exists. Growing up, the only successful people he saw were drug dealers, athletes or rappers. Eventually he was introduced to an option he had never considered.
If someone with his background (abuse, poverty, racism all stacking the deck against him) can be so successful, why can't readers of this book? One of his advantages was that he had been through so much, any of the steps he took on the road to riches seemed easy in comparison. Anyone should be able to do what he did. Can you get out of the comfort zone to do it, though?
I heard JT McCormack on a podcast and was just blown away. This guy had every reason to give up on life and end up in the prison system. One thing I think about all the time is the hand we are dealt at birth and how people navigate through life based on this start. Whether you are born in a third world country or in extreme poverty like JT, will these people be given a pass in the end (whatever your God is or may be)? The two big takeaways for me 1) Be appreciative of what you have every day 2) work your ass off to reach your goals. The first takeaway is hard for me...I was given a great start with great parents, education, and all my needs and wants met. I've been learning though to appreciate things for by reading books like this. The second takeaway, I am going to work even harder because there are JT's out there who are out working me and I need to always keep that in mind. Every day is a day to learn and grow. Get this book, it will change your outlook.
Not a fan of self help books. Tony Robbins will NEVER inspire me to walk on hot coals to “think and grow rich.” To me, the American dream seems to only bless just a lucky, selected few to make us regular folks believe we can find the “the secret” to success.
