OVERCOMING IMPOSSIBLE

Make Achieving Your Goals and Finding Success Possible

Robert Irvine knows a thing or two about business. For over 300 episodes of Food Network's hit show Restaurant: Impossible, he helped failing entrepreneurs make the necessary changes to reverse course and transform their businesses from the brink of collapse to sustainable enterprises. And he doesn't just talk a good game; Irvine is a successful entrepreneur himself with a family of companies to his credit, from frozen foods and liquor to protein bars, restaurants, a traveling live show, and a namesake foundation that gives back to America's veterans and first responders.

In his book Overcoming Impossible, Irvine shares the success secrets he learned along the way to help others thrive. As he says in the book: "I made my name as a chef, but my ultimate legacy will be as an entrepreneur. Business is my greatest passion and the thing that makes me most excited to get out of bed each morning. I've always wanted to write this book, and now I finally have enough hindsight to analyze the moves that transformed me from an aspiring entrepreneur to a successful one. It's my sincerest hope that these lessons can do the same for readers everywhere."
