DO you have a bucket list? If not, write one now.

That’s one of the early messages from Adelaide entrepreneur Matthew Michalewicz’s new book, Life in Half a Second: How to achieve success before it’s too late.

Mr Michalewicz is a member of a select group – a successful serial entrepreneur – who has chosen to live in Adelaide.

His most recent venture was Solveit Software – a process optimisation company he founded in 2004.

In eight years, he grew it to about 150 employees, and sold it to Schneider Electric last year.

In the last financial year when he was at the helm, the business grew 678.9 per cent, and was named the third-fastest-growing technology company in Australia in Deloitte’s Technology Fast 50 Program.
