The Cilantro Diaries
Business Lessons From the Most Unlikely Places
You don’t need an MBA to get ahead in business. You don’t even need a college degree. All you need is intelligence, drive, creativity, courage and The Cilantro Diaries.
Lorenzo went from the stockroom of a grocery store to the boardrooms of two private companies without a formal higher education. In his inspiring and humorous true story of hope and accomplishment, he shares the steps he took up the ladder and the guiding principles that got him to the top.
The direction and motivation Lorenzo provides in The Cilantro Diaries will help you find a mentor, build a network, establish a reputation, rise above the competition, and move far beyond entry-level jobs into a profitable and satisfying professional career.
Even if you don’t have the interest or the means for pursuing a university education, you can be a success. Lorenzo did it—now you can, too.
