The award winning and international best-seller book by Gurbaksh Chahal has been translated in over a dozen languages and became required reading for hundreds of colleges globally.
While success like his is often attributed to luck, Chahal’s story, like that of many immigrants, is more one of sacrifice … it was years of hard work, persistence and faith, along with the support of his family, that brought his financial rewards–not chance.

My father had arrived with $25 in his pocket, but his heart was full of dreams.
