Book excerpt: In this book, Edward Deeb, the founder of Michigan Food and Beverage Association, Michigan Business and Professional Association, Michigan Youth Appreciation Foundation, and Metro Detroit Youth Day, tells the story of his life and how he became a peacemaker, troubleshooter, youth advocate, and business leader in the community. He explains how to be successful in business and in life through his many interesting experiences. Ed has coined the phrase “Flowers for the Living” to honor people while they are alive instead of when they have passed. One of his favorite sayings is “Don’t go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path, and leave a trail.” After you read this book, you will agree that Ed Deeb is “The Go-To Guy” if you want someone to resolve problems and create peace and tranquility not only in business but in the community-at-large.
