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.
My Review
Jon Coss has written a book that includes three very
important things on my normal checklist. It reads well, almost as if he is
speaking to you. It has humor to make the bad things that happen to us all a
little easier to swallow, and it contains tidbit after tidbit of points for you
to store away for another day.
It’s been a long time since I had my business, but I think
what I might have enjoyed most about A Ten-Year Overnight Success is being able
to read that it happens to us all. This is an intelligent book, but it is also
written by someone who has had those things happen. You know, the things you
think happen to only you. Those things you need to hear someone has had to
handle too.
A great read. I rarely (99% never) read a book twice. There
are too many books out there to inhale. But this one, I think you’ll gain from
it each time you read it.
