Synopsis

Now in paperback, "COPY THIS!" is Paul Orfalea's memoir of turning lemons into lemonade. It is wise, personal, funny, unflinchingly honest, and filled with wisdom, business lessons, and his inspired Orfalea Aphorisms. It's the story of how a struggling kid who could barely read, write, or sit still managed to grow a 100-square-foot copy shop named Kinko's into a $1.5 billion empire that "Fortune" magazine named one of the best places in America to work. And it's the story of an individual who saw his learning disabilities - ADHD and dyslexia - as learning opportunities, which moulded the home grown, compassionate culture that allowed Kinko's to thrive, and guided the behaviour of a CEO who had no choice but to think different. A terrifically entertaining read from a born storyteller, but with the hardcore guts of true business acumen, "COPY THIS!" will blow fresh air into the thinking of any manager, entrepreneur, executive, or business owner.
