We were raised on a promise:

Work hard. Be decent. Be patient.

Success will come — eventually

In Success or Silence, Ivo dismantles the illusion that you’re free to fail. With raw honesty, grounded critique, and personal reflection — this book confronts a painful truth:

Success isn’t optional anymore — it’s survival.

This isn’t a pep talk.

It’s not motivational fluff.

It’s a eulogy to comfort.

It’s a blueprint for strategy.

You’ll learn:

Why the system is built to extract, not uplift
How inequality was designed — intentional, not accidental
Why kindness, assertiveness, and self-audits are mandatory

You don’t have time to wait for things to get better.

This is your manual - not for winning, but for surviving with dignity.

For playing with teeth.

For choosing to live out loud in a world that only rewards silence.
