In February of 1987, William Porter "Billy" Payne was a young, relatively unknown, real estate attorney in Atlanta when he decided that he wanted to bring the Olympic Games to Atlanta.
For the next ten years, Payne, along with a group of friends known as the "Atlanta Nine," and Andrew Young astonishingly were awarded the 1996 Centennial Olympic Games, then hosted the largest and most attended Olympic Games in history.
Your Friends Will Never Allow You To Fail is Billy Payne's first-person, inspiring behind-the-scenes account of how it happened.
- The unique and highly personal strategy to introduce the IOC members to Atlanta, culminating with IOC President Juan Antonio Samaranch awarding the Games to Atlanta.
- Generating nearly $2 billion in revenue through innovative sponsorship, ticket sales, and television rights negotiations.
- Building a Fortune 100-sized company, along with a volunteer force of more than 50,000.
- Surviving the bombing at Centennial Olympic Park that threatened to end the dream.
- Leaving a physical and emotional legacy that has helped propel Atlanta into the 21st Century as a thriving, international city.
Billy Payne illustrates the importance of passionately pursuing your dreams through hard work, single-minded determination, sharing, and fueling that dream with your friends. Proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated charitable causes that represent Atlanta's Olympic Legacy.
