Author's Official Edition

Business Wisdom is a rare collection of insights from sixteen of Australia's most successful business owners - including Mark Carnegie, Imelda Roche, Harry Triguboff, Collette Dinnigan, Lorna Jane, Tom Waterhouse and Mike Cannon-Brookes - in conversation with Brett Kelly, the founder and CEO of the global accounting network Kelly+Partners.

Brett delves into the life and business of each leader to find out what wisdom they gained from their years of hard work, how it has shaped their lives, and what leads people to feats of such extraordinary magnitude in business. As he uncovers, the life of a business owner rarely goes to plan, but it's always exciting. In Business Wisdom, Brett asks these titans in their fields questions like:

• Why does the business matter?
• How did you build up from two stores to three hundred?
• What is the art of selling?
• What have been the greatest challenges?
• What do you do to keep building your knowledge?

The result is a captivating set of candid interviews that reveal the mindset of Australia's most successful business owners. Each person and every story is unique, and in many cases completely unexpected.

This is the third book in Brett's Wisdom Series. Brett writes a book on wisdom every seven years, reflecting on what he has learned through interviews with prominent experts in their fields:
