Adversity for Sale: You Gotta Believe

Man! I’ve always rocked with Jeezy I wouldn’t say I was a hardcore fan, but I was a teen in his starting era and yes he was everywhere! Mixtapes with DJ Drama, later on he was on major hits getting radio play, and I rocked with it! But learning this version of Jeezy?!!! Priceless lol.. no fr. I truly enjoyed this book, developed even more respect for him! I love underdog stories, and to an extent he was, but watching him mastermind, and overcome! I LUV IT (Jeezy Voice) I have so many highlights throughout this book to remind myself of how to overcome adversity, stay mentally strong, maintain my leadership etc when my trials arrive, and I appreciate it! MY PRICE IS MY PRICE!!!! I needed that, reminders of confidence, staying true to yourself, believing in yourself, accepting losing those you thought would be there forever, elevating life and making better connections wiser decisions, man! The book stood out to me, can’t speak for anyone else.. but maybe it just ain’t in ya (lol) just saying if it’s in you, you gotta believe! I could really go on and on, like I felt like we were connected (not weirdly) for different reasons, no I didn’t live the same life, but I get the knock downs, thoughts of do I need to be here, anxiety, depression etc. JEEZY DA SNOWMAN has done it again! SN for those saying he didn’t go into detail.. ya crazy or what?? Seriously that’s how we know like he mentions ppl ho we really who they are and portray that versus the fake .. y’all use to snitches and pillow talkers.. we don’t do that OVER HERE!! JEEZY DA SNOWMAN has done it again! USDA

Bought for my daughter and she loves it

I have been a fan of Jeezy since his album Thug Motivation 101 dropped. I was a freshman in high school. When he announced he was releasing a book, I immediately knew I would need a copy. Adversity For Sale exceeded my expectations; seriously, what can this man not do!? He spoke about many things, as it pertains to his career, however, his character and mindset to get get it out the mud by any means shined throughout. I believe anyone can read this book and take something positive from it. It’s raw, realistic, motivating, and a downright beautiful display of vulnerability. Some of the stories, I was aware of from following his career but there was also shocking things I never knew. Jeezy manifested his success; he wasn’t looking for a handout. He truly invested in himself 100% because he had the presence of mind to make it. And making “it” looks different for everyone. For Jeezy, he was going to make legit money, be able to take care of his family, and show other people how to succeed. For me “it” was getting out the hood. However, after reading this I realized that once you reach the one goal, you have to continue to want more. Don’t settle. So many things resonated with me and my biggest takeaway was if you want something you gotta believe it and go get it. He gave two lessons: 1. You have to take the time to reset, especially when you’re stressed. 2. Success only comes from discipline, dedication, persistence, and commitment. On any given day, I find myself randomly quoting a Jeezy line but my favorite by far is, “see me ima hustler, I do what the hustlers do.” Superb story!

Great book on his success from the streets to the big music scene in Atlanta. Definetly would recommend as their are key gems to life in this book.

This book is fire but then again everything about Jezzy is amazing!
