Dana Frank's Get Up and Get On It: A Black Entrepreneur's Lessons on Creating Legacy and Wealth is an inspiring book that chronicles her family's journey through decades of entrepreneurial challenges and successes. Starting with her grandfather Gerald Frank's escape from the harsh realities of Detroit in 1950, the story reveals the tenacity and resilience required to build a real estate empire in Seattle's Central District. The book discusses the struggles Gerald and his wife, Theresa, faced as they laid the foundation for a business that would span generations. Frank’s portrayal of her family's journey is candid, offering readers a window into the racial and social obstacles they overcame. These personal anecdotes are stories of business acumen, grit, and determination in the face of systemic racism and personal hardships.
Dana Frank introduces the R.E.A.L. method—Research, Expand, Amplify, and Leverage—as a blueprint for building generational wealth. Her emphasis on the importance of real estate investments to secure financial stability is a recurring theme, and she capitalizes on the wisdom that “equity grows, cash erodes.” Frank's experiences as a single mother and business leader further enrich the contents of this book, providing a relatable and motivational perspective. Her journey from the brink of bankruptcy to becoming the President of The TD Frank Family Properties captures her unyielding spirit and strategic thinking. The photos and poems featured are inspiring. Get Up and Get On It is more than just a business manual; it is a celebration of grit, strategy, and foresight in business development, a guide to financial empowerment, and an inspirational call to action for anyone looking to transform their life.
