Synopsis

The free market system is based on creative ideas-if you have one and know how to sell it, you'll make money. Few people have had more ideas or generated more revenue from them than Bill Tobin. Confessions of a Compulsive Entrepreneur and Inventor is the practical, fascinating tale of a man who started ten companies, invented many products, holds fifteen patents, and waged and won battles against some of the largest corporations in the world. Tobin's story is an eye-opening, eye-level account of what it takes to transform dreams into business realities. He also describes how to protect your assets and family when starting your business. Part memoir, part tutorial, and part firsthand historical account of more startups than you will experience in five lifetimes, Confessions of a Compulsive Entrepreneur and Inventor offers important advice to tomorrow's entrepreneurs. It shows a path for future idea-people to follow, to forge their future based on their own creations.
