How is your book helping others?

Startups are sexy. From revolutions to disruptions to pivots, running your own startup is an appealing but unfortunately overdramatized endeavor. The problem is that startup-land is full of myths and misnomers. Will early funding actually help your business in the longer term? Do you need a bunch of staff? Do you need to take big gambles to get ahead? Making the wrong call on questions like these can actually crush your dream rather than getting you closer to it.

And it’s not just business decisions. Entrepreneurs also feel constant challenges to their legitimacy—doubts from family, friends, their employees, mentors, the market… you name it.

Startup Different, provides you with a chronological framework for building your business—everything from idea generation to selling for millions and moving on—that dispels the common assumptions that come with starting your own business. You too can make your business legit and achieve your entrepreneurial dreams.

There are approximately three million American small businesses with employees whose founder(s) are over 55. In each of these, a transition will occur as owners age out during the coming years.

From Founder to Future brings these into focus. As well as nuts-and-bolts information, the book provides stories of exemplary companies to help owners visualize and internalize the benefits of conversion to employee ownership.

The CX Imperative offers business leaders a clear, actionable framework for embedding customer experience (CX) into the strategic core of their organization.
