Description
How the boldest entrepreneurs build empires—while others follow the rules
Most people who call themselves entrepreneurs are just playing business, following the same tired formulas that lead to predictable, ordinary results. Real success, the kind that builds wealth, power, and lasting impact doesn’t come from following the rules. It comes from breaking them.
In Self-Made Maverick, Dr. Reza Zahedi, a leading figure in international real estate, delivers a powerful manifesto for those who refuse to settle. Too many entrepreneurs believe that success requires a massive start-up budget, an ironclad business plan, and years of experience. But that’s a lie. Lasting self-made success comes from thinking differently, seizing opportunities, and embracing the unconventional path.
Drawing from real-world experience, Dr. Zahedi reveals what it truly takes to build a business from the ground up, without following someone else’s blueprint. Through raw personal insights, practical exercises, and lessons from his own seven-figure businesses, he provides the tools you need to create success on your own terms.
This isn’t a book about fitting in; it’s about standing out. If you’re ready to challenge outdated beliefs, think like a true entrepreneur, and build a legacy beyond limits, Self-Made Maverick is your ultimate guide.
