Author Description

We were able to eke out a meager living during our early days. I had a dream, and convinced everyone around me - family members, friends and new acquaintances - to buy into it. Looking back, it's a miracle that so many people sacrificed so much on nothing more than faith. But it shouldn't really be so surprising. One common theme throughout my life is that I've always had the innate ability to attract people to me, make them my champions and get them to back my dreams. Two years after arriving in America I founded a business with $1,800 I had saved. Today, because of that leap of faith I am a successful entrepreneur with a net worth of nearly $30 million and stand among the top 1 percent of Americans. This book is the story of my life. Through my experiences I have tried to share the lessons I've learned along the way. These lessons have led me around roadblocks, helped me navigate detours, and scale what appeared at the time to be unconquerable mountains. They have even served as beacons of light to look toward during the darkest nights. It is my hope that by sharing my failures and successes, my tragedies and triumphs, my loves and losses that Stella's Way can become your own Way.
