The story behind the amazing life and achievements of A. J. Scribante

Shelf Life: How An Unlikely Entrepreneur Turned $500 Into $65 Million In The Grocery Industry is the story behind the amazing life and achievements of A. J. Scribante (Founder and CEO of Majers Corporation, a national marketing information consulting firm). Autobiographically depicting a life of corporate success, Shelf Life tracks Scribante's small businessman's rise to entrepreneurial power and productivity through times often difficult and assaulted with many hardships, which were met with great persistence and an enabling "self-power". An exceptionally well written memoir, Shelf Life is very highly recommended reading, especially for entrepreneurs, as well as the non-specialist general reader, for its instructive, informative account of an entrepreneur who made his fortune in the grocery business.
