In On the Razor’s Edge, Malka details his rags-to-riches story while sharing the many business and life lessons he acquired

An Entrepreneur's Journey from the Ground Up

Anyone can start a business. All it takes is an idea, a little creativity, and a product or service offered in exchange for money. Sounds simple enough, right?

 

If it were that easy, then every business ever launched would be thriving, filling our storefronts, malls, and online shopping sites with an endless supply of products and services. Unfortunately, most businesses don’t succeed, and it’s not always due to a lack of work ethic or creativity. 

 

In On the Razor’s Edge, Eric Malka shares his journey from his humble beginnings to the eight-figure sale of his company, detailing what he gained from setbacks and unexpected obstacles. 

 

After the sale of The Art of Shaving, Malka knew his job was not over and he discovered a new passion: mentoring entrepreneurs and investing in businesses as a way to give back. Today, he believes his own entrepreneurial journey was a launching pad for Strategic Brand Investments, the business he launched to help transform early-stage companies into scalable and profitable business models.
