Business is one of the most popular fields which draws the interest of millions of people. Business has a vast array of branches which pique the interest of many and it is one of the most populated professional fields on earth. In our general understanding, one learns about doing business or the industry itself by stepping into college or undergrad school. Degrees and specific courses taught by specialized instructors lay the foundation of our understanding.

We rely on the academic curriculum for much of our understanding of business. However, learning about the field of business in the spectrum of academics has a very limited scope. The outdated course material and textbooks fail to paint the actual picture of the business. The underlying truth and the prevailing realities about business are rather different from what we have learned in our typical experience. To understand the business better, one has to break free from the culture of learning everything in the four-wall boundary of the school.

Successful entrepreneurs and business magnates are the first-hand sources of learning everything about this field. They have developed sources and materials for the masses to learn from their example. These individuals hold seminars, deliver TED Talks, publish books, appear in interviews and podcasts, produce educational videos, and these are the best sources of learning everything about the business. Their content is enriched from their proven track record and experience and it gets nothing better than that. Books are by far the most incredible source of information available and some really brilliant-minded people have written a myriad number of books. One of the most acclaimed books ever written remains “Ignite Your Life” by Brian Tracy and it is co-authored by a group of renowned entrepreneurs including Tony Park.

Tony Park holds great significance as a business expert, entrepreneur, mentor, and author. In his career, he has built businesses from the ground up which are worth over $50 million.
