Growing up in a dysfunctional, often abusive home, John L. Hoich could have become a misfit himself but instead took charge of his own destiny that ultimately made him a businessman of great stature. From the Ground Up, It’s Not Just Business, describes how one man did it and you can, too.

 

   His inspiring story, beginning when John was a teenager, describes his path from an often cruel family life, to near bankruptcy in his early ‘20s, to his creation of a vast business empire that led him to become a millionaire by the age of 30. Today, John L. Hoich is one of the most successful, wealthy people in the U.S.

 

  His journey proves that against both personal and professional odds, anyone can be successful. In From the Ground Up, It’s Not Just Business, Hoich describes beginning his grounds maintenance business with just one lawnmower and building an empire that has included grounds maintenance contracts at U.S. government facilities, land development, ownership of a Hampton Hotel, a medical office building, apartment complexes, shopping centers, assisted living facilities, a golf course and a fifty-year contract for military housing development.

 

  John’s success is founded in his philosophy of “Hoichisms.” Among the many gems of advice: constantly strive for improvement in performance, contacts and quality of service; persist until a solution is found; believe that quitting is the only failure and everything else is an opportunity.

 

  From the Ground Up, It’s Not Just Business, proves that people can take charge of their destinies if they recognize what needs to be done and go about doing it.
