TJS Cognition Ltd has announced that Tony J. Selimi’s Climb Greater Heights: How to Accelerate Your Business Growth, Amplify Your Success, and Build a Legacy of Significance received the 2026 PenMasters Global Award for Literary Excellence in the Business and Finance category. The Tony Selimi PenMasters award announcement adds another company-reported distinction for a business-growth book aimed at entrepreneurs, leaders and business owners; no financial figures, sales data or publishing metrics were disclosed.
The announcement, dated August 12, identifies Selimi as a London-based author and business coach. It presents the award as recognition for the book’s approach to authority-building, commercialising expertise and developing businesses that can grow beyond the founder’s time.
What is Tony Selimi’s PenMasters award for?
TJS Cognition says the award applies to Climb Greater Heights, specifically in PenMasters Global’s Business and Finance category. The company’s announcement links to PenMasters Global and describes the programme as a literary competition, but an official PenMasters Global winner listing or organiser confirmation of this 2026 result was not available in the material reviewed.
That distinction matters because the reportable event is TJS Cognition’s announcement, rather than a result documented directly by the award organiser. The supplied record contains syndicated versions of the same company-originated claim.
A 12-step framework for turning expertise into a business system
The company says the book introduces Selimi’s 12-Step Growth Accelerator Method, a framework covering leadership identity, internal and commercial barriers, market authority, intellectual-property monetisation and scalable business ecosystems.
For operators, the premise is familiar: expertise alone does not create a repeatable business. The method is positioned around converting knowledge into products, services and recurring revenue streams, while using sales, partnerships and public visibility to extend reach. TJS Cognition also frames the material as relevant to leaders adapting their roles and decision-making as AI changes industries.
Alma Stasel, a spokesperson for TJS Cognition, said the book was written for entrepreneurs facing stalled growth, leaders with significant responsibility and specialists seeking to create more value from their knowledge. Selimi said leaders need strategic visibility, commercial capability and personal adaptability alongside technical expertise in an AI-driven economy.
Readers seeking further information are directed to Selimi’s website. The announcement says the book is available in print and digital formats through Amazon, Balboa Press and other booksellers.
How does this compare with earlier recognition?
The PenMasters claim is separate from earlier award announcements tied to the same title. In April, TJS Cognition said Climb Greater Heights had received Gold in the 2026 Manhattan Book Awards. A May company announcement also cited recognition at the Independent Press Awards and the 2025 NYC Big Book Award for Leadership. Those announcements do not establish the PenMasters result.
