Born To Make It

Nobody handed Jonathan Anthony Burkett a blueprint. No diploma, no money, no safety net, and a childhood that told him he would never amount to anything. He lost a job to his own mistakes and chose to keep building anyway. Today his work includes books, songs, Upstormed Records and Upstormed LLC.

In Born To Make It, Jonathan shares what it really takes to rise from a hard beginning: believing in yourself before anyone else does, starting with what you have, learning on your own, setting goals and taking numbers, earning money without losing your soul, building many streams around one vision, and celebrating your wins without forgetting who helped you. It is honest about mistakes, practical about money and discipline, and clear about what "making it" means when it is done right.

Inspired by his album and song "Born To Make It," this book is for every dreamer who was counted out. You were not born to just survive.
