It means going against the grain, taking risks and never giving up despite the challenges hurled at you. EVERYTHING YOU KNOW ABOUT BUSINESS IS WRONG is the bible for the unconventional business brain who won’t accept anything but excellence.

So much of what we learn about business is plain wrong. It’s time to challenge your assumptions and learn about the things that will help you be successful.
