Pilot Your Life: Comedian Turned CEO Helps You Star in Your Career

by Ron Shaw, Richard Krevolin

There is no magic formula for defining the world's most successful business people. In fact, one will often find that business acumen is based on many things, not least of all old-fashioned, conventional values that are more common sense than MBA blueprint.

In Pilot Your Life, Ronald Shaw tells the real-life story of his road to success with a truck-full of tips to take away from his journey.

Ronald Shaw's career is a great American success story - a young blue-collar comedian making it big in business by applying the lessons he learned in the spotlight. It almost sounds too good to be true, especially considering Shaw is the president and CEO of Pilot Pen Corporation, a $180 million a year company. It's a fact however, and this inspiring book provides readers with instructive lessons that will shed new light on ways they can incorporate old-fashioned values back into their business and personal lives. Each significant business lesson is accompanied by light hearted stories and anecdotes from the author's life.

Including testimonials from well-known figures such as Ted Turner, Larry King, and Harvey MacKay, Pilot Your Life offers readers a map through the treacherous waters of the business world and their careers.
