Often we cannot accomplish ours goals and objectives alone. I set out to make a difference in writing The Entrepreneur Equation, and received a ton of fantastic help along the way. Help that launched The Entrepreneur Equation to becoming a New York Times, Wall Street Journal, USA Today+ bestseller. Help that donated thousands of copies of the book to SCORE.
I have far too many people to acknowledge them all, but I wanted to thank the following individuals who donated fantastic incentives as part of the book launch.
I also wanted to give a “shout-out” to the following handful individuals and businesses that were generous to buy extra books early and in many cases share them with others. They’ve got some great products and services, so please check them out and show them your support!
