Book Synopsis



RISKS, LUCK AND ROCK'N'ROLL ABOUND

Part musician and part entrepreneur, Wendell Parnell didn't want to go to his grave keeping his 'rags to riches' story a secret.

Born in Burma and raised in Australia by poor immigrant parents, he dropped out of school at the age of 14, determined and tenacious to become a self-made millionaire. After a long stint in the music industry, he turned to a second career - telephony.


RISKS were taken unwittingly when he named his telephone business "E.T. PHONE HOME."

LUCK visited with an unscheduled burglary on opening day. But he believed in himself, survived the wrath of Steven Spielberg, refused to be bullied by Telstra, and overrode those who predicted his failure.

Wendell now resides between Perth and Melbourne. He travels anywhere a cheap airfare will take him. He hopes his story may encourage you to take risks.

Life is a risk.
