The military - wherein lies my experience and expertise - and the world of the entrepreneur are very different. And yet, to be successful in either of these two arenas demands many of the same characteristics: strong moral character, technical competence, honesty, integrity, responsible and decisive action, emotional stability, astute judgment of men and situations, excellent communication skills, innovative thought processes and a broad perspective. I heartily recommend Harold Miller's book, as it addresses all these issues as they pertain to any prospective entrepreneur.

The author is a truly amazing entrepreneur, who has distilled his many years of business and legal experience in various fields of entrepreneurship into this outstanding book! It's a great opportunity for the reader to learn about entrepreneurship from a Master before launching your own business - or for improving it beyond start-up. Harold pioneered the teaching of real estate entrepreneurship here at UIC - he is always the innovator. The reader can greatly benefit from his insights and guidance!
