Jump Start by Aj Hackett
AJ Hackett is the Kiwi innovator who built a business empire on adrenaline and adventure. From the day in 1987 when he launched himself into the world's eye by leaping off the Eiffel Tower with a rubber cord attached to his feet, Hackett has gone on to become one of New Zealand's most visible - and unique - entrepreneurs. The bungy jumping industry that he started has opened bold new avenues for tourism in New Zealand and has expanded the minds of millions of people worldwide. Hackett's personal life and business philosophies match his have-a-go ethos. Aptly, for a man who made his name encouraging others to jump off bridges, Hackett is drawn to risk and has developed a knack for managing danger. In the commercial world, he has always preferred to leap boldly than to hold back. This has led to some hard lessons, but his drive for new challenges remains undiminished. The same taste for adventure that excited Hackett as a Kiwi kid growing up on Auckland's North Shore still drives the man today as he looks for new challenges and his business moves into a period of unique growth and change. This is both a rollercoaster ride through AJ's life and a motivational story about following your passion and creating the perfect life.
AJ Hackett is a phenomenon - he's the man who risked it all to take bungy jumping to the world. Now a hugely successful businessman with businesses all round the world, he tells us his story with the passion and drive that has taken him to the top.
