Here is what leaders in the educational and business community have to say about this book:
“This is the book we’ve been waiting for—the essentials of how to start and operate a small business taught clearly and energetically for the college student by Steve Mariotti, who has built a national and international movement in entrepreneurship education.”
–Tommy Goodrow, Vice President of Economic and Business Development, SpringfieldTechnicalCommunity College
“Entrepreneurship is the engine of our economy, but its true purpose lies in
building community. Through the businesses we create, we become of service
to our community and the world. In Entrepreneurship: Starting and Operating a Small Business Steve Mariotti teaches not only the nuts and bolts of how to start and operate a small business, but energizes that knowledge with a strong sense of purpose that will inspire students to go forth and make a difference.
--John Whitehead, former co-chairman of Goldman Sachs
“The best entrepreneurs are people who understand the financials and economics of business. Entrepreneurship: Starting and Operating a Small Business provides students with a thorough education in the nuts and bolts of building a business from the ground up, while also helping them develop into leaders who can energize and inspire others.”
--Alan Patricoff, Co-founder, Apax Partners
