Renaissance man Dr. Michael V. Maranan, also known as ‘Mentor Mike,’ recently launched not one, not two, but four empowering books that bridge business, leadership, logistics, customs brokerage, and personal development-fields that he has successfully specialized in.
The four books that were launched during the event that took place last July 21 in Quezon City are From Eight to Infinity: Secret Stories and Lessons from the Life of Dr. Mike Maranan, Confessions of a Licensed Customs Broker, The Business That Fits You, and Ang Negosyong Swak Sa’yo.
According to Maranan himself, From Eight to Infinity: Secret Stories and Lessons from the Life of Dr. Mike Maranan is an inspirational memoir that chronicles Dr. Maranan’s personal journey – from humble beginnings and life’s challenges to becoming a successful entrepreneur, educator, and business leader.
The book is intended to inspire entrepreneurs, professionals, students, and anyone seeking motivation to pursue their dreams despite adversity.
As the title suggests, Confessions of a Licensed Customs Broker draws from decades of Maranan’s professional experience and provides an honest and practical look into the realities of customs brokerage beyond passing the licensure examination.
Designed for customs brokers, students, importers, exporters, logistics practitioners, and professionals, this book serves as both an educational resource and a practical career guide.
The Business That Fits You challenges the common mindset of following trends and instead encourages readers to discover the business that genuinely aligns with their personality, strengths, interests, lifestyle, resources, and long-term vision.
This title is ideal for aspiring entrepreneurs, startup founders, professionals considering entrepreneurship, and existing business owners seeking greater alignment with their goals.
Written entirely in Filipino, Ang Negosyong Swak Sa’yo provides relatable advice to help aspiring entrepreneurs understand their strengths, avoid costly business mismatches, and confidently choose opportunities that match their personality, current life season, and future aspirations.
The book is intended to empower more Filipinos to make informed business decisions using practical and easy-to-understand guidance.
Each of these four books represented years of the author’s professional experience, personal reflection, and advocacy for entrepreneurship, education, leadership, and personal growth.
For Maranan, the books also reflected his continuing mission of using education and real-world experience to create lasting impact beyond the pages of his books.
All four books are now available online. Official purchase links and QR codes will be released through Mentor Mike’s official social media platforms and digital channels immediately following the launch to provide convenient nationwide access. The books will also soon be available on TikTok, Shopee, and Lazada.
