Make It Happen - André Leonardo

Make It Happen Author: André Leonardo Publisher: A Esfera dos Livros Literary Genre: Personal development Book Condition: Very good condition Synopsis At the age of 24, the Azorean and Terceirense André Leonardo set off alone on an expedition around the world, passing through 23 countries. His goal was simple: to seek energy and encouragement beyond "crisis" and "debt," to connect with positive people, to be inspired by entrepreneurs—both in business and in life—and to learn from those who overcame all kinds of adversity and, more than just creating companies or promoting projects, made things happen by facing the present and future with optimism and the ability to dream. It was urgent to gather these cases scattered across the entire world, across societies, cultures, and radically different political and economic contexts—yet all united by the same determination to make things happen. - Bel Pesce, a Brazilian entrepreneur who, against all odds, managed to enter MIT, founded her own company, and became, while still young, one of Brazil's most influential people due to her approach to adversity. - The Portuguese Ricardo Teixeira, who, even after becoming quadriplegic, continued to "fight," worked at the giant Microsoft, and created his own successful company that today employs 600 people. - The young man from Tanzania who became a motivational speaker after, as a child, managing to install electricity in his home using books borrowed from the local library; - The story of the "Indian Cristiano Ronaldo" who, to survive, became a professional ear cleaner and, in an especially harsh context, manages to get by. These are some of the inspiring stories that André Leonardo collected over 126,000 kilometers of travel and presents in this book, where the term entrepreneurship takes on a new meaning and is ultimately revealed as a lifestyle and attitude independent of the environment and time in which we live.
