Download or read book Off the Bus into a Supercar written by Baybars Altuntas and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2014-11-19 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I did it my way! So can you! As the son of a teacher and a retired army officer, I would never in my wildest dreams have thought that the company I started without a penny to my name would become a multi-mullion-dollar business. Or that the president of the United States of America the land of entrepreneurs would invite me to the White House to talk about entrepreneurship or that the Turkish prime minister, who leads the 16th largest economy in the world, would hand me a letter to deliver in person to President Obama. I couldnt have imagined that I would one day be on CNN International commenting on President Obamas Washington summit or that I would be one of the 110 Dragons from 22 countries on the most important entrepreneurship TV show in the world, Dragons Den (Shark Tank in the US). I had no money, no one to help me or back me up in the beginning but all those things really happened. I wholeheartedly believe that our beautiful world is one where dreams are capable of becoming reality so long as we work towards the realization of those dreams. I wish for everyone to be able to look at the world in the same optimistic way as I do, to see the bigger picture in the same frame. If the son of a teacher and army officer can find success, then I am sure that you can too, but probably much more easily. I am confident that, once you start reading this book, you wont be able to put it down.
