Reviews

“The best entrepreneurs are willing to ask for help and they are willing to listen when it’s offered. Govindh and Jack have written what can only be described as a gift to entrepreneurs.” ― SIMON SINEK, OPTIMIST AND AUTHOR OF START WITH WHY AND LEADERS EAT LAST

What would happen if you could get a room full of the greatest entrepreneurs and thinkers in one room and ask them anything? Govindh Jayaraman and Jack Daly have done just that. The results are just what one would expect from such an endeavor: a treasure trove of practical wisdom that, if followed, could be life-changing. Govindh and Jack sought out wise counsel, had the counselors themselves write one primary piece of wisdom on a napkin, and then interviewed them for Govindh’s now extremely popular podcast. It has been a remarkable journey, and along the way, his listeners have learned how to face their fears, execute goals more effectively, and complete tasks in a shorter amount of time. From October 2013 through March 2014, they collected more than a thousand Napkins, including almost a hundred interviews via podcast.
This book is designed to take you on an incredible journey as you build your own five step plan for life and business success using the book, the podcast, and the takeaway value of each Paper Napkin Wisdom as a guide.
“Within these pages you will find wisdom that can change your life and your business.” ― SHEP HYKEN, NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE AMAZEMENT REVOLUTION PAST PRESIDENT NATIONAL SPEAKER ASSOCIATION

Author Bio

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
