About the Author
Born in India-raised by a father who was a fountain of wisdom and the most caring mother-Sanjog had a wonderful childhood. But, just before his college graduation, he lost his father to a heart attack. Overnight, his secure and comfortable life vanished, and the loss forced him to mature. Soon he decided that sheer survival wouldn't be enough and developed a burning need to become big. To accelerate his growth, he immigrated to the United States as a software programmer. Soon, he realized that a regular 9-5 job didn't bring out the best in him. So he started his own business. Initially, growing his business became an obsession and even getting married or having children didn't slow him down. But, before it was too late, he realized his mistakes and transformed from a success maniac to a happy rider going The Tricycle Way. Today, Sanjog is an entrepreneur, coach, strategic consultant, and a professional moderator specializing in enterprise IT.
