5+ stars!

I gave 5+ stars! I think everyone contemplating starting a business venture should first read this book. Those that already have a business venture and aren’t realizing the success they had hoped for should get this book and identify any shortcomings in their business and what needs to change.

This is a great book for organizing one’s own personal life. Thank you for writing it.

Quality Work

I have had the pleasure of taking part in two of Greenfire Innovation’s virtual speakers summit. Eric and his team are great connectors and continue to bring speakers and topics together that have an eye to the future. Greenfire’s network has helped me connect with several other innovation-minded folks around Northwest Indiana. Eric and his team are innovation-minded and put together quality work.
