Discover the decisions that built Grupa Pracuj.

As Chancellor, I spent years searching for levers that generate genuine economic growth. Przemek Gacek has spent 25 years actually pulling them. His journey from a borrowed thousand pounds to a Warsaw Stock Exchange company operating across five European markets contains more practical wisdom than most economic textbooks. A book about decisions — how the right ones compound, how the wrong ones can still be turned to advantage, and why character, more than capital, is the ultimate differentiator.

I rarely come across a business book in which I recognize so many experiences that resonate with my own journey as an entrepreneur. As I read it, I repeatedly found myself revisiting the decisions that shaped my own company over the years. Przemek shows that enduring companies are built not on simple formulas, but on values, courage, and consistency in action.

I know people who slow down and rest on their laurels once they achieve success. Przemek is one of those who sees every summit reached as the start of the next journey. This book is the best proof of that. I recommend it to everyone seeking inspiration for continuous growth, bold thinking, and the consistent pursuit of ambitious goals.

I have known Przemek for almost twenty years, we once competed, when GoldenLine and Pracuj.pl were fighting for the same market; today, we are friends. Most business books show only success. This one is different: it presents the harsh lesson of Ukraine, the difficult business environment in Germany, crises, and moments of doubt — described just as openly as the IPO. And it does not separate business from life, because the two cannot be separated. That is why it rings true.
