George Contos

An award-winning novel acclaimed for its insights into business growth and personal development, Growing Up Metric is must-read for anyone striving to seize opportunity and launch their success. If you’ve been looking for a mentor to impart the secrets of personal and professional success, look no further than Growing Up Metric. George shares his expertise and provides step-by-step guidance for growing your business, empowering your people, and most importantly – reaching YOUR potential. “There are a lot of books in the personal development/business genre that have strong advice about goals and motivation, but very few that have important "running a sizable company" advice - because few people who write such books actually run sizable companies! In Growing Up Metric, George shares his advice and years of experience for those in business already or on the entrepreneurial track. This book has a lot of gems - read it with a pen in hand.” -Perry Marshall, Author of Ultimate Guide to Google AdWords, 80/20 Sales and Marketing, and Evolution 2.0
