It All Started With Lasagna: The Life Story of Peter Mercanti and His Ingredients for Business Success, Leadership and Happiness (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781525596971)

It All Started with Lasagna is a chance to get up close and personal with Peter Mercanti, a successful Hamilton businessman who came to Canada as an immigrant at age seven with his parents. With forthright honesty, Peter shares the story of his rise to business success-starting off at the age of eleven with selling "recycled" car engines to the scrap yard from which they were liberated-and the development of Carmen's Banquet Centre, his flourishing wedding and event venue, and associated hospitality businesses.

In addition to his fascinating personal story, Peter shares his secrets to success both in business and in life, as well as key tips for becoming an effective leader. He also shares many fascinating and humorous stories about the various celebrities who performed at his venue, including Michael Douglas, Al Pacino, Sylvester Stallone, President Bill Clinton, Dom DeLuise, Sophia Loren, Wayne Gretzky and many, many others.

Both inspirational and engaging, this book is for: any entrepreneur-young or old (Peter recently started his latest business, Mama Yolanda's Lasagna, at age 70); anyone looking for inspiration on how to live better spiritually, personally, or professionally; those with an interest in Hamilton's recent history; and anyone who just wants to be outright entertained with funny stories.

All net proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to the Charity of Hope.
