39 Business Tips from International Entrepreneur Sarina Russo

Sarina Russo is the Founder & President of the Sarina Russo Group. In 1979, Sarina, a fired legal secretary, combined inspiration and desperation to open a small typing school to create her own job to pay her mortgage.  She had just nine students.  She promised them all jobs and she delivered.

Sarina said it’s amazing that someone who struggled at school and who couldn’t pass junior or senior English now runs a global employment, education, apprenticeship and training company employing over 1000 people.

To inspire entrepreneurs to passionately back themselves to reach the top, Sarina Russo has assembled 39 ‘See you at the Top!’ business tips to celebrate her 39^th year in business.
