Jack Delosa’s business career started at age 18 when he dropped out of university, borrowed $20k from the bank and bought into his first business – a call centre in Melbourne. Eight years, four businesses and many setbacks later, he is recognised as one of Australia’s most successful young entrepreneurs. In his book UnProfessional, Delosa offers a fresh perspective on the challenges of starting and running a successful business. There’s practical advice on how to become a market leader on a shoestring budget; how to become the go-to person in your industry to win more business faster; how to manage and lead other people toward your vision and why it’s important to fail fast. Delosa has done it all by disregarding the old rules and being professionally unprofessional.
