    About this ebook

    Vincent is a 27-year old aspiring entrepreneur with big dreams. But after going through a devastating divorce, he finds himself emotionally drained, lacking confidence and dead broke. However, a chance encounter with The Icon (a billionaire business mogul) results in a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to change the direction of his life, forever. Vincent becomes the newest protégé of The Icon, and is offered an internship at the most powerful wealth management firm in Beverly Hills. The Icon becomes his business mentor, his father-figure and his best friend. In Vincent’s pursuit of money and power, The Icon introduces him to several very wealthy and powerful mentors – his former protégés. The Icon Effect is both an inspirational story and an aspirational story about the power of faith, belief and second chances. You will undoubtedly find yourself rooting for Vincent the underdog as he discovers the magic of having a true mentor.
