His prose shows a clarity of thought and authority borne of experience. Those who combine introspection with his seasoned counsel will gain not only a tutorial on business realities, but also insight into themselves.” – Kirkus Reviews, July, 2019 "As a CEO I've read numerous how-to books on entrepreneurship. But now that I have two daughters who dream of their own 'dream projects,' this is the book I will suggest they read." – G Rollie Adams, CEO Emeritus, The Strong National Museum of Play Your idea could be anything from a part-time business to a Silicon Valley startup, from a small-town storefront to an internal corporate initiative.
