Kosi Stobbs doesn’t hold back in F$CK BROKE: LET’S GET RICH, a powerful manifesto to limitless success and attainable affluence. By merging his own story with practical action plans, Kosi Stobbs shares his secrets to building and keeping wealth.
Kosi Stobbs is a first-generation Canadian who decided at a young age that he never wanted to live paycheck to paycheck. So he did everything in his means to save, invest, and, ultimately, build incredible wealth before he turned 30. Kosi Stobbs now owns multiple seven and eight figure businesses, has a real estate portfolio worth millions, and was named Canada’s Top 40 under 40 and Vancouver’s Forty under 40 in 2020.
Kosi Stobbs grew up in Edmonton, Alberta with parents who immigrated from Jamaica with $100 in their pocket. What they lacked in finances, they made up for in hope and ambition. With a humble upbringing in a new country, his parents did everything they could to provide him and his siblings a good life.
Stobbs’ remembers his parents buying their first home. And how they constantly said that one purchase was the most important investment they could make. This made him question why they never bought more real estate. If they really thought a house was the best investment, why didn’t they invest in more?
So his story of wealth began right there, with that one question.
Kosi Stobbs became fascinated with investments, and specifically, real estate investing. So when he was only 15 years old, working at Burger King for $4.50 an hour, he made his first big goal — to buy 10 properties before he turned 30.
And that’s exactly what he did.
By saving instead of spending and being wise with his money, Kosi Stobbs was able to put himself through college, and still buy his first property a few short months after graduation.
Stobbs isn’t one to hold back his secrets either. In fact, he penned a millionaire’s manifesto titled F$CK BROKE: LET’S GET RICH — a must read for entrepreneurs looking to break the barriers to limitless success. Because he believes that there’s room at the top for everyone.
When asked what his secret is, Stobbs puts it simply. “I’m not your average ‘guru,’ telling you the platitudes and niceties that make you feel good,” he writes in the very first few pages of his book. “Do you think I would proudly blast you with profanity on the cover of my book if I wanted to be nice to you? Think again. I’m not a guru. I’m the guy that tells you like it is.”
And, indeed, he does.
F$CK BROKE: LET’S GET RICH is a memoir merged with a manual, telling Kosi Stobbs’ story while also detailing a path for others to follow. He takes readers on a journey of mindset shifts and practical action plans that make up the exact “how-to” when it comes to building wealth and keeping wealth. Stobbs is quick to mention that financial success can be achieved in many different ways, but every one of those ways has to start with the right mentality.
Kosi Stobbs writes in F$CK BROKE: LET’S GET RICH that he can make anyone a millionaire. “I really can,” he says. “Save just $10,000 in a year, and I can show you steps to use that seed money and make a million dollars with it.” He adds in this final thought though — “But I can’t make you treat it wisely. That’s up to you.”
And that quick-witted remark is representative of the entire message this book has to offer.
Every word that Kosi Stobbs writes is purposeful, driven, and relevant. And while his own success story obviously cannot be replicated completely, the lessons he learned are shared through every chapter.
“There’s plenty of room at the top for everybody,” he writes. And through F$CK BROKE: LET’S GET RICH, Kosi Stobbs is opening the doors so you can get there too.
