The Inspiring Story of a Business You've Never Heard of
Business Memoir
Date Published: September 10, 2024
This is a story for the rest of us. Those who want to grow their companies but can't find relatable inspiration, or guidance, in current business literature. It's a story about a company that you've never heard of, but one that used computer algorithms to save the American taxpayer over $60 Billion in government pandemic relief fraud. And it's about an unlikely founder who takes the risks and inspires his team to go from an idea to a nine-figure exit in less than 9 years.
In A Ten-Year Overnight Success, Pondera Solutions founder, Jon Coss, takes you with him on his journey through what he describes as the four stages of a typical startup. You'll share his raw emotions through the "rise and fall of enthusiasm", his months of desperation in the "desert of despair", his tempered confidence through "wiggles of hope", and his immense relief and sense of accomplishment marching toward the "Promised Land".
Jon's story-telling narrative combines soul-searching truths with self-deprecating humor to provide you with an inside look at what it takes to achieve the success that less than 1% of businesses ever will. Along the way, he offers practical, nuanced lessons that you won't find in the typical business book. Lessons learned in the trenches. Lessons that may not make you the next Tesla but are sure to grow your business. Lessons that apply to the rest of us.
