About The Author
Topper Long s business life began at the age of 11 when he started mowing neighbors lawns for a few dollars. His formal business career ended 46 years later when he retired as CEO of Textron Engine Marine and Land Systems, a $400 million collection of three companies, two of which he was also President. During those years, he earned a BS degree in Engineering and a MS degree in Executive Management. He served as an officer in the U.S. Army and worked 17 years in government service and 17 years in private industry. Topper and his wife, Carole, divide their time between homes in Gallatin, Tennessee, and Valle Crucis, North Carolina. They have two daughters, two sons-in-law and four grandchildren, all who have been some of Topper s best mentors. It was during his 47 years of traveling though the jungles of government, corporate America and many other segments of life that Topper, a wide-eyed gullible traveler, learned the lessons in this book. Gullible may be contacted at gulliblestravels@comcast.net and is available for presentations, seminars or counsulting regarding his travels in the business jungle.
