    Golden Apples: Six Simple Steps to Success

    Bill Cullen

    Formats & Editions

    Bill Cullen, legendary head of Renault Ireland, went from selling apples on the streets of Dublin to owning a company with an annual turnover of over $400 million.

    He credits much of his success to the women in his life: his mother, Mary, and his grandmother, Molly Darcy, whose fierce intelligence and homespun wisdom were a constant motivation and whose stories he told so vividly in his bestselling memoir, It's a Long Way from Penny Apples.

    Now Bill shares those memories, and interprets them for the twenty-first century. Under his inspirational guidance, you can transform your career and your life.

    • Laced with anecdotes and written in simple and compelling prose. He is a natural writer. - Sunday Independent (Dublin)

    • Can Bill Cullen's book change the lives of those who read it? For my money, the answer is yes . . . a charming, down-to-earth guide to getting on in life - Feargal Quinn Irish Times Weekend Review

    • A distillation of his mother's homespun utterances, and those of his more philosophical grandmother, with business and fitness principles of his own soldered on.

    • A self-help book with that little something special which Cullen brings to all his projects . . . He is an inspiration. - Irish World
