Gateway To America: A Business and Personal Memoir - Paperback

Gateway to America is a memoir recounting experiences and key events from the onset of 1939's World War II in the UK and Europe, to beyond the coronavirus pandemic of the 2020s in the USA and worldwide. Included are many business and personal events, ideas, and useful solutions: how to make movies, managing retail chains, pension planning, making clear ice, surviving a lion safari, and many more!

This is not a textbook but rather a recapitulation of personal and business happenings, military service, adventures, successes, failures, and learning experiences of a lifetime in the United Kingdom, Malaya, and North America.

Discussed in detail are important guidelines for all entrepreneurs: wealth generation strategies, stock market and real estate investing, creating and launching a new business, writing a business plan, and how to register and trademark your brand.

Narrative is provided on the author's hands-on support and relationships with several major retailers in the United States, Canada, and the UK. He identifies challenging and many successful sales and marketing initiatives used to acquire, manage, and support national and regional store operations.

Photographs, QR codes, and websites are shown throughout the book, providing videos, exhibits, and documents. Instructions are also included on how to produce QR codes.

The book details some of the author's accomplishments and failures. They are designed as positive learning and creative examples, not boastful talk!
