Femi Otedola’s book, ‘Making It Big: Lessons from a Life in Business’, has climbed to the No. 1 spot on Amazon’s bestseller chart — less than a month after its release.
The book, launched on August 18, had initially debuted at No. 4 on the ‘Best Sellers in Business Biographies & Memoirs’ category, sitting behind Gary Stevenson’s ‘The Trading Game’, Simon Squibb’s ‘What’s Your Dream?’, and Phil Knight’s classic ‘Shoe Dog’ — a day after its release.
The book is now leading the chart with a five-star rating.
The book chronicles Otedola’s rise in business, highlighting the challenges he faced, the risks he took, and the insights that defined his path to success.
