LESSONS LEARNED FROM LEADING ENTREPRENEURS provides the reader with an opportunity to learn from some of the most successful entrepreneurs of our generation. The book provides a benchmark for readers through a step-by-step process based on famous entrepreneurs like Steve Jobs and Apple, Warren Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway, Larry Page and Sergey Brin of Google, and Wayne Huizenga, the only person to found three Fortune 500 companies: Waste Management, Inc., Blockbuster, and AutoNation. All the entrepreneurs read their cases and gave feedback, excluding Jobs.

This book provides valuable lessons ranging from Buffett’s keys to success (investment methodology and wealth building strategies), creating, growing, and managing a business, integrating successful corporate entrepreneurship, international entrepreneurship, acquiring a franchise, acquiring a small business, strategies to raise capital for your venture, and succession issues within family businesses.
