David Novak–one of today’s most engaging, unconventional, and successful business leaders–lived in thirty-two trailer parks in twenty-three states by the time he reached the seventh grade. He sold encyclopedias door to door, worked as a hotel night clerk, and took a job as a $7,200-a-year advertising copywriter with the hopes of one day becoming a creative director. Instead, he became head of the world’s largest restaurant company at the ripe old age of forty-seven.
Whether you are the CEO of a global conglomerate or a budding entrepreneur, David Novak’s street-smart wisdom will help you get where you want to go.
