Every life is rich with stories… and some people know how to tell them and transform them into nuggets of inspiration! Have you ever had the thought that you shouldn’t be here? That the decisions you’ve made could very easily have cost you your life? Sören Sörbo Samuelsson has… and that he’s here to tell the story is nothing short of a miracle. Born in Sweden in 1947, he has had a life filled with stories—many of which should have ended with a headstone. The stories he tells show every side of what it is to be human, taking you through the full gamut of emotions and giving honest windows into the good, the bad… and the downright genius! With a creative and practical mind, Samuelsson has invented dozens of tools that have shaped the modern window cleaning industry, earning him the title of Godfather in the field—which is a surprising twist from some of the stories leading up to that point! This captivating memoir, part personal history and part business inspiration, is here to show you one man’s extraordinary journey through life… and you’re going to be immersed from the get-go! Inside, you’ll discover: How stealing a spoon at the age of six shaped Samuelsson’s life—and not in the way you might think The childhood stories that built the foundation the rest of his life would grow from The big changes that shifted his perspective and changed the course of his life—from very early on More hospital visits and car accidents than one man should ever be faced with The trip that forced him to learn English… and ended up with a trans-Atlantic move How a chance encounter and the need for a green card resulted in true love and a happy marriage that got to celebrate 50 years How the author got into the window cleaning industry… and the incredible invention that transformed his work (and the whole sector!) Why Samuelsson almost bought a gun… and why he quickly decided not to (a story of love’s triumph over pain) The story behind Samuelsson’s inventions as he rolled them out one after one How God saved him from alcohol addiction and welcomed him into life as a Christian (after much resistance!) —resulting in churches, missionary visits, and miracles The birth of Sörbo Products… and its first million-dollar order! A journey of motorbikes—and all the incredible stories that came with each one Business advice and inspiration from a man who started his own business, made waves in his industry, and seamlessly blended invention and teaching And much more. No matter what poor decisions you make, you always have another chance… until it’s too late. And luckily for Samuelsson, God had miracles in store for him. With the love and belief of his devoted wife and the strength of his faith, Samuelsson turned a string of dangerous decisions into a life of invention, service, and growth—and he’s here now to tell his story and inspire you to listen to your own calling.
