The 10 People You Meet In Business

Who do business owners, entrepreneurs, and professionals learn from? The movers and shakers who’ve successfully charted the same waters. Author Milan Topolovec introduces such pioneers in The 10 People You Meet in Business, his compilation of like-minded innovators and leaders who’ve contributed personal anecdotes of building, owning, and running businesses. When Topolovec started his company, he had no mentors; now, in this book, he provides them to the next generation of entrepreneurs.

Ten colleagues, collaborators, and close friends narrate their challenges and accomplishments as prominent Canadian entrepreneurs—from the visionary director of an esteemed college to the chief financial officer of an international communications conglomerate. Every story is a chapter that delves into what it takes to be a business leader through trials and tribulations to triumph, offering practical take-aways and inspiration.

For up-and-coming innovators, current business owners looking for fresh inspiration, and anyone in search of guidance, The 10 People You Meet in Business is a chronicle of self-made, engaging entrepreneurs. Topolovec says the key is being surrounded with the right people—gathered here.
