You’ve heard the success cases before: a driven individual, graduates at the top of their class, star athlete, scholarship to a great school, stellar job out of the gate…it almost seems too perfect. Well here is a story of the NON perfect road to success!  

Eli Weiner, president and “trailblazer” of The BoaVida Group admits that he is not the textbook case for business success. He even jokes that learning from a textbook is not his strong suit. But that is the beauty of the entrepreneurial way! Eli found success in leaning into his strengths, reading autobiographies, working like a horse, and blazing his trail to success.
