Clint Greenleaf is one of the most modest giant-killers you’ll ever meet.
Over a decade ago a bet from his friends and the mundanity of an accounting job led him to take a step into the relative unknown – the publishing industry.
From a standing start, Clint took on the ‘big hitters’ of the New York-based traditional book publishing business, and now, 13 years later, he has 35 employees, $8m in revenues, and nine Wall Street Journal best-sellers to his name (I’m proud to say that my own book, “Predictable Success: Getting Your Organization On the Growth Track – and Keeping It There” is one of them.)
