The Big Idea

Are you ready to turn your BIG idea into a reality? Today, Carlos Fernandes stands as a testament that great innovations and organizations spring from a single, audacious idea. But when he and his family left Portugal to immigrate to the United States of America, he had no idea of the adventures that awaited him. From an illiterate schoolboy on the streets of New Jersey to a cadet and soldier to a successful trailblazer in business, Carlos has achieved what many can only dream of - creating and scaling multiple successful ventures from the ground up. Through the pages of this book, Carlos draws from his own triumphs and setbacks to offer real-world solutions for generating ideas, disrupting markets, building productive relationships, and developing an entrepreneurial mindset with spiritual renewal and restoration. With a wealth of experience and a passion for innovation, he doesn't just offer motivation and practical insights; he unveils the secrets to unlocking BIG idea potential.
