Success and Self-Discovery

This is a compelling business memoir from a seasoned entrepreneur. Stroum's willingness to be vulnerable and open about his business and personal struggles is a refreshing change from many business memoirs. "Success and Self-Discovery" is part autobiography and part book on entrepreneurship. Steve Stroum crafts a compelling narrative with outstanding amounts of detail. The book starts with stories of his early days in the military and at Northeastern University and takes you through his first jobs to the start of his business and 46 years worth of valuable experiences. He showcases the challenges he faced and then how he overcame them. The book does a beautiful job of highlighting the principles of a successful entrepreneur while weaving in personal stories to bring them to life. The author has a knack for explaining business concepts in a practical and relatable manner. This approach makes the book an invaluable resource for budding and experienced entrepreneurs. There are too many stories to highlight, but it is clear that relationships are the key to Steve Stroum's success. "Stroum is a great story teller. Even if this book doesn't inspire you to become an entrepreneur, it can help you avoid some of the pitfalls and painful mistakes that Steve Stroum made during his very eventful and successful business career."
--- George Berbeco, President, Devon Group "Many people enter the corporate world, hate it, but never leave. Steve isn't one of them: He chose entrepreneurship, and he shares the stories of his success in these pages. Perhaps his journey will bring courage to strike out on your own for you or someone you know."
