This book is a story of how TOUGHLOVE Advisors came together to form our new advisory firm, as well as a collection of inspiring real-life business stories, insights and personal experiences from nine different professionals who have faced many triumphs and failures throughout the years and are ready to share.

Our deepest hope is that it serves you and enables you to unleash your potential. We think this book is special because it brings together nine authors who come from different backgrounds to share lessons and experiences from their own perspectives.

Tough Love is not for everyone, nor is this book, because we did not set out to write another book filled with theory or political correctness.

As Ray Dalio once said, ""Tough Love is hard to give and sometimes even harder to receive, but we know that in the end it is well worth it.""
