Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor:
The Child: Sarina Russo came to Australia from Sicily as a five year-old. She had everything against her as a young migrant in Brisbane. Her struggle with the new language she had to learn aroused skepticism and doubt in teachers who constantly failed her in English and told her she would never make it to senior school. She was the student the teachers would have voted most unlikely to succeed, yet all the while she was the clever, resourceful and charming kid who helped her father in his modest business ventures.

The Young Woman: Sarina Russo left those school gates feeling inadequate, totally disillusioned. She became a typist and was fired from job after job because she had an ‘attitude’ problem, but inside her a spirit was burning. Somehow she was going to make it; somehow she was going to ‘be someone’. But her life was strictly controlled. As the youngest daughter of a family that lived to a strict Sicilian tradition she was obliged to live at home with her parents and spend her spare time working on their vineyard. Their destiny for her was motherhood, lots of children. She didn’t want marriage. She wanted freedom and a career, but the ties that bound her were frighteningly tight. It was not until the age of 26 that she managed to run away to find her own destiny.

The Fledgling Business Woman: After being fired again and again she rented a room above a bank and started a small typing school. And that was when she discovered her real talent - getting people to the starting line of a new phase in their lives, motivating them to believe in themselves. She got jobs for all of her students. As her reputation grew - with students who loved her motivational teaching style and employers who liked the skills and attitudes of the people they recruited from her courses - her business grew. Today Russo Institute of Technology is a major educational institute with a campus for 1000 in the heart of Brisbane drawing students from around the world. Alongside it she has built another major business, Sarina Russo Job Access, a network of recruitment offices around the eastern states of Australian helping thousands of people on the unemployment register to find jobs.

The Entrepreneur Takes Wing: She had many setbacks - refusals by the education department to endorse her courses, a fire that destroyed her school, knock-backs from banks to whom she went for loans to finance business growth, naysayers, but by this time she had discovered the power of self belief and persistence. Her motto was ‘it can be done’ and so it was. While she grew her business she embarked on a path of self development through constant learning. She honed her business skills, every year for 10 years, by attending entrepreneurship courses, at the Harvard Business School, from which she received the coveted OPM designation in 1999.

The Queensland Icon of Today: Sarina Russo has achieved massive success as an educator, businesswoman and property owner. In her book she shares the secrets of her success in business: how to lead a business, how to recruit, how to enhance performance, how to win and retain customers, how to build a brand and much more. This is a book that will make its readers see new possibilities for themselves; it will make them set higher goals and it will show them how to be the best they can be by acting on the secret she shares about how ordinary people can become remarkable people by doing ordinary things extraordinarily well, by doing them the Russo way. And for the success of every other individual she will be grateful, for her own motivation is this: by enhancing others, I enhance myself.
