The title of this book is a redirect. The fortune being referred to is not money. The fortune is a combination of experiences, events, learnings, insights, and of course, luck. The real forces behind creating one's fortune are the principles an individual or business lives by. Principles are the external, arbitrary forces that affect human affairs and bring us good or bad fortune. And by good fortune, that doesn't imply there will not be challenges along the way; rather, good fortune is a series of experiences, not a destination. Some call it chance or luck. Good fortune is propelled positively or stifled negatively by the principles we strive to live by. We shape our fortune by our principles. Living by principles and knowing who you really are (the best or worst parts), along with the hard and soft skills you have (or are willing to put in the time to master), are the basic ingredients for personal or business fortune. Principles can be practiced personally and professionally at work. Often folks have great personal principles, but fall short on them at work. Why? Is it fear? Is it work culture? Actually, it's a mixture of both. This book shares the principles that transformed RealTruck as a business. Learn more at https://principlestofortune.com

Crafting a Culture to Massively Grow a Business
Scott J. Bintz
Praise for Principles To Fortune
"I was impressed with Scott Bintz's commitment to culture from the first time I met him some years ago. He was able to grow a business from a hobby business to a multi-million dollar e-commerce enterprise. His book, Principles to Fortune, demonstrates what the true mojo is in companies-the people. RealTruck's commitment to make people's lives better was the secret sauce to their profound and unprecedented success. If you want to increase brand loyalty from your employees, your customers and even your strategic business partnerships, then you need to read Principles to Fortune. The book is based upon the principles Scott used within his own company, with concrete examples that can be adopted and adapted to most any company culture."
-Chip Conley, NYT Bestselling author, Hospitality Disruptor, Strategic Change Agent

"I had the fortune of watching Scott Bintz grow his e-commerce company from a fledgling hole in the wall to a company that competed amongst the giants. Scott's unique approach to growing his company came to garner the respect of the largest players in the industry. What was fascinating is how Scott did it his way, on his terms, all the while embracing a unique brand of culture as the centerpiece of his company. I always admired Scott's out of the box approach, which seemed to set aside the stiffness of corporate culture and rely more on what he knew to be real. The fact that he has taken the time to carefully and insightfully outline his journey, lessons and wisdom in his book Principles to Fortune, is a blessing to us all. A great read from front to back."
-Julian Maimin, CEO of Reacha & Co-Founder of BAK Industries
"Principles to Fortune is written for anyone in business. It's entertaining, full of surprises and insights.

"This isn't just another 'How to Make Millions Selling Online' book focusing on achievement and profit. It's much deeper and meaningful. It's Scott's authentic story of integrating core principles into his business to build a strong culture and help he and his team find personal purpose while doing so. The people at RealTruck happened to be building an eCommerce business but the strategies outlined in this book can be applied to any business. If fast money and power are your top priorities, don't read this book. If creating true fortune in life through business is, read it and adopt this as one of your guide books."
-Clint Howitz, Founder & CEO of dogIDs.com

When those principles are focused on for an entire book by someone you know, an AHA moment is created for the reader. Scott Bintz has done just that.
