From Dysfunction to Function

By Ed Wallace

On the surface, Ed Wallace is the picture of success: At age 56 he retired a millionaire after a 46-year career -- with the last 10 years as the owner of three very successful Harley-Davidson dealerships in the Pacific Northwest -- and he left his kids well-positioned to keep the family's legacy of success alive.But that's only part of Ed's story. In this book, Ed shares a series of personal essays, tall tales, and nuggets of wisdom he's picked up during his journey from a dysfunctional childhood and early adulthood to his eventual success as a fully functional business owner. There's the good stuff, like how to run a business and create a corporate culture that inspires loyalty and trust. There's the bad stuff, like watching a friend shoot himself in the foot to get out of Vietnam. And there's the weird stuff, like the night he put a live alligator into his friend's bed, just for laughs.You'll laugh -- and you'll likely think twice about taking acid. And you might just learn something.
