Synopsis

Bill Cullen, legendary head of Renault Ireland, went from selling apples on the streets of Dublin to owning a company with an annual turnover of over $400 million. He credits much of his success to the women in his life: his mother, Mary, and his grandmother, Molly Darcy, whose fierce intelligence and homespun wisdom were a constant motivation and whose stories he told so vividly in his bestselling memoir, It's a Long Way from Penny Apples. Now Bill shares those memories, and interprets them for the twenty-first century. Under his inspirational guidance, you can transform your career and your life.

A propos du livre

Revue de presse

This book will have a hugely positive impact on everyone who reads it (Sir Richard Branson)

Laced with anecdotes and written in simple and compelling prose. He is a natural writer. (Sunday Independent (Dublin))

Can Bill Cullen's book change the lives of those who read it? For my money, the answer is yes . . . a charming, down-to-earth guide to getting on in life (Feargal Quinn Irish Times Weekend Review)

A distillation of his mother's homespun utterances, and those of his more philosophical grandmother, with business and fitness principles of his own soldered on. If there is a "secret" to his success, it seems to be no more complicated than having seized opportunities to impress and been prepared to work harder, faster and for longer than anyone else. (Daily Telegraph)

A self-help book with that little something special which Cullen brings to all his projects . . . He is an inspiration. (Irish World)
