Paper Napkin Wisdom

Famous entrepreneur Scott Olivet (Oakley, Mervin Manufacturing, Da Kine and more) said "90% of business books should be pamphlets or workbooks." We agree ... this is a workbook - we hope that you will write in the space provided here, in the margins, everywhere ... In order to support your leadership journey and growth, we recommend focusing on ONE Paper Napkin Wisdom per week. There are takeaways, and five questions at the end that we all Firestarters, designed to ignite your leadership transformation. The Firestarters are short questions that will allow you to focus, align, and act. Each week, as you grow your leadership in simple steps, you will focus on building one aspect of your leadership muscle. In order to really be impactful, you will need to focus on the task at hand and on completing the steps and answering the five questions in the Firestarter. Reading the chapter and answering the questions should take no more than 10 to 15 minutes a week. Then align yourself with people who can help you. Join in the conversation on the Paper Napkin Wisdom community on Facebook. Surround yourself with team members, peers, and mentors who can help you with your journey. We challenge you to be transparent about the transformation you plan to make. Do not underestimate what you can accomplish in a year. Finally, act. Execute what you have said you will do in the Fire-Starter and ignite your leadership journey. You can also go to PaperNapkinWisdom.com and listen to the entire interview with each of our Paper Napkin Wisdom guests. Just search for their name and go. This is especially useful if the message in the week's lesson is causing you to stall.

GOVINDH JAYARAMAN, A relentless gene was passed down to Govindh - it is almost as if he was destined to be an entrepreneur. Born in Ottawa, Canada, to parents who were both entrepreneurs, his father was one of the early pioneers in solar and alternative energy, and his mother is an accountant for entrepreneurs. His grandfather was a relentless and very successful businessman back in India, lives in legend. That never-say-die attitude has continued to help Govindh be a successful portfolio entrepreneur now running four companies; he started his first as an 18 year-old. Govindh has been called "A Modern Day Napoleon Hill" for his work in creating Paper Napkin Wisdom. Find out more at www.PaperNapkinWisdom.com
