Underdog to Empire
You've been overlooked. Underestimated. Counted out before you even got started. You're tired of proving yourself to rooms that weren't built for you, and somewhere in the back of your mind, you know you could build something better on your own. If you've ever felt like the Underdog and are ready to start your own business on your terms, this is your playbook.
Pat Miller knows exactly how that feels. She went from hauling produce on her dad's farmstand in rural New Jersey to building a multi-million-dollar commercial construction company; one of the few women at the top of an industry built by and for men. After losing her husband and business partner, she rebuilt from scratch with nothing but grit, resourcefulness, and a refusal to stay down. Now, in her no-nonsense, say-it-like-it-is style, she's handing you the same blueprint that took her from Underdog to Top Dog. And she's not sugarcoating a damn thing.
Inside, you'll learn how to:
- Turn being underestimated into your greatest competitive edge
- Build a reputation so strong they stop shopping around and just call you first
- Start lean, move fast, and win work before you feel "ready"
- Get back up after the kind of hit that makes most people quit
- Stay hungry, humble, and true to yourself — even after you've made it
Every lesson in this book came from the real world. Pat lived it, built it, and is handing it straight to you - because the next Underdog success story we read should be yours.

Descriptive and strong but yet straight forward in the realism of the authors personal experiences.
This book is pretty solid, it is very descripitive and narratative very well. It is easy to read and follow leaving you yearning for more. Each chapter is a new event that occur in this persons life and her narrative style is on point.
It captures you as a reader and it immerses you where you can visualize every event and scene that are takrn place.
I personally enjoyed ready this book and have no dislike.
Wow...what a great book, I couldn’t put it down.
Amazing courage in the face of so much challenge!
I happen to know Pat personally, but haven’t seen her since her brother’s funeral. It was heartbreaking to read all the challenges she faced in the years after Jim’s passing. That being said, I’m not at all surprised she rose to the challenge and “kicked ass”! She’s always been an amazing person - strong and caring. I found her journey to success very inspiring. Next time I’m overwhelmed, I will grab and reread Kicking Karma’s Ass - and know that I can do anything if I work at it. Thanks for the amazing read Pat! 
Must read for anyone going thru tough times and doubting themselves...
keep it going girl!!!
