From Sugar Beets to Shanghai

Meet Glade Poulsen - farm boy, missionary, father, husband, man of faith - and master salesman. In From Sugar Beets to Shanghai, Glade recounts his story. Despite numerous setbacks and a series of misfortunes - some of his own making, some beyond his control - Glade sets his mind toward his goal with almost unflagging determination.



This rapidly-paced book tells Glade's story from the farm land of Idaho to the farthest reaches of the globe. His success comes not from a "secret recipe" or a "magic system" but by way of personal dedication to a series of principles and beliefs he continues to employ today. The concepts Glade employs apply to every walk of life and every profession.

Still enjoying great success, Glade lives in Eagle, Idaho with his wife, Cindy 7 children and 14 Grandchildren and, of course, their Golden Retriever, Lilly. In addition to completing this book, Glade has recently launched a podcast: Why Not You? Where they explore the Mindsets, Drivers and Habits of highly effective entrepreneurs.
