Paul Orfalea: Books & Videos

COPY THIS! is filled with life lessons on overcoming obstacles – perfect for every business owner looking to grow a company, every manager helping their team perform, every visionary trying to launch a new idea, and for every mother and father of a child suffering from learning challenges. This is the story of how Paul Orfalea, a hyperactive dyslexic who failed two grades, opened a small copy shop called Kinko’s in 1970 and turned it into a $2 billion-a-year company, while barely being able to read, write, or sit still through a business meeting.

Paul succeeded in using his learning differences and unorthodox approach to business to mold a compassionate, unconventional, partner-driven culture that allowed Kinko’s to thrive, and made it, according to Fortune, Forbes, and Mother Jones one of the best places to work in America.

Paul Orfalea’s royalties from the book will be donated to nonprofit organizations for children with learning challenges.
