You bet!

that helped Jake turn a one-man business into a global brand.

I’VE SEEN A LOT OF FAMOUS PEOPLE NAKED, AND THEY’VE GOT NOTHING ON YOU!As a young personal trainer in L.A., Jake Steinfeld had a knack for motivating people to do their best, landing his phone number in the Rolodexes of some very famous people. As their trusted fitness expert, Jake saw many of these folks naked. No, not bare-nekkid naked! He saw them stripped of all the Hollywood glitz and pretense. No limos, no Rodeo Drive high fashion, no paparazzi—and no bull. What he realized is that these people are just people. They weren’t born with a special “success gene.” The secret to their success is hard work, street smarts, and a don’t-quit attitude. Jake made those qualities his own, and he’s never looked back.

Now it’s time for Jake—the founder and driving force behind the multi-million-dollar Body By Jake global fitness brand— to share his experience and knowledge with entrepreneurs everywhere. With signature style, Jake recounts his own spectacular rise and offers plenty of practical wisdom in I’VE SEEN A LOT OF FAMOUS PEOPLE NAKED, AND THEY’VE GOT NOTHING ON YOU! Business Secrets from the Ultimate Street-Smart Entrepreneur (AMACOM, September 13, 2005; $21.95 hardcover).


The book is a potent combination of real-world entrepreneurial strategies, a quintessential American success story, and a motivational kick in the “buttissimo” that is pure Jake. In addition to Jake’s own amazing tale, readers will also find incredible stories about Steven Spielberg, Tommy Hilfiger, Harrison Ford, and other luminaries from Hollywood, professional sports, the business world and more. Jake talks about the unique relationships he formed with each person, and what he learned from them even as he taught and inspired them to be their best. Both aspiring and established entrepreneurs will find proven strategies for:

· Starting, building, and growing a business
· Making connections, establishing a network, and putting together a team
· Finding partners and investors
· Build a high-profile brand
· Developing the courage to take risks
· Turning failures into springboards to success
· Building goodwill and good business by “giving back”


The lessons Jake learned from his celebrity clients have served him well. He’s turned a personal training business into a premier fitness product brand, a 24-hour fitness television network, a professional sports league, and instant recognition everywhere he goes. He’s living proof that a fancy degree is not a requirement for big-time business success, and his message to entrepreneurs everywhere is simple: Don’t quit, because if Jake can do it, anyone can!


“Sage advice…living proof that street smarts and believing in oneself are the keys to succeeding at anything in life.”
— from the Foreword by Steven Spielberg
