Author and Celebrity Personal Trainer Jerry Ford has authored a
powerful, painfully honest book entitled GUNS, DRUGS, OR WEALTH as a
help and inspiration to others who also seek personal wealth and
independence.
Said Jerry Ford: “ ‘Guns, Drugs, or Wealth’ is about how I went from
the hard streets of Detroit to building wealth through stocks, real
estate and smart spending. I share with my readers how I began to build
my wealth as a personal trainer. As I wrote this book, I imagined myself
having a front porch casual conversation with my readers. This how-to
guide on building wealth will not only teach people how to build wealth,
but it’s written in layman’s terms. The genres of this book are
business, inspiration, and self-help.”
Mr. Ford’s book tells all that he has learned, offering readers
specific, tried-and-true tools for building wealth by creating three
streams of income: (1) passive income (through real-estate investing),
(2) portfolio income (through stock market investing), and (3) earned
income (through hard work and smart spending).
As a personal trainer, Jerry Ford has worked with many, many “big
name” clients, including rapper Big Sean to musical artist MoBeatz. One
special trip led to Ford becoming an author. “I was traveling with Big
Sean and MoBeatz and decided to journal a few hours a day on the trip. A
few hours turned into many…and two months later I had created the
manuscript for my book.”
A tragedy earlier in his life also drove Jerry to pull himself up
from a hard life in his native Detroit and build a life for himself as a
personal wealth coach and trainer. “My brother Sam was murdered…I miss
him every day. He inspires me to get out of bed and go as hard as
possible in life every day…I feel like I am living for two people
instead of just one, myself.”
“Being an author was never a plan,” asserted Jerry. “I knew I needed
to figure out a way to help the eighty percent of America who are poor
or middle class. I knew that I needed to help the three billion people
on the planet who are really poor. Of course this book doesn’t make up
for the world’s educational flaws, but it’s a start. Schools don’t teach
people how to build wealth.”

How Getting Fired from My Job Started Me on the Billionaire Track
The illusion of security at Equinox had stifled my ambition and kept me from truly going after financial freedom. I’m not a billionaire yet, but I know I’m on the right track now.
I’m on the right track now.
involved in and witnessed everything from gun violence to drug
trafficking and addiction, jail, gang life, and murder. At age fourteen,
Jerry’s brother, Sam, was murdered on their mother’s birthday. At age
seventeen, Jerry’s best friend, Steven, was also murdered. The list goes
on. One of the ways Jerry channeled his anger was through martial arts;
he became a black belt in multiple styles and received gold medals in
the Junior Olympics and other world-respected tournaments.
Jerry received his Bachelor’s degree from Rutgers University.
Immediately after college, he started his career as a personal-fitness
trainer at New York Health & Racquet Clubs, and soon became one of
the company’s top trainers. Having established himself as a fitness
professional in New York City, Jerry moved Los Angeles, where he became a
top trainer at Equinox. After mastering the science of human
engineering, Jerry parted ways with Equinox to launch his own private
training business. His clients currently include high-net-worth
individuals, celebrities, royal family members, fighters, and a variety
of other tastemakers. While still based in Los Angeles, he travels
nationally and internationally to train clients.
Jerry is also an investor in stocks, real estate, television and film
properties, and anything else he believes to be worth the risk. This is
his first book, and he wrote it to help others walk their own paths to
success.
