Synopsis

This book is a call to action if you have any of the following Symptoms of Entrepreneurial Envy: incurable idea generation; difficulty taking action on your ideas; fear, preventing you from pursuing your dreams; a strong desire to be your own boss.

From Idea to Exit: The Entrepreneurial Journey addresses the mystery, fear, and risk of starting, running, and selling a business. By following the entertaining and informative true story of Jeffrey Weber, you'll learn his proven methodologies for entrepreneurial success. Jeffrey Weber's story is extraordinary and he outlines a successful entrepreneurial journey through four phases: idea, startup, running, and exit.

While most small business books cover niche components of the start-up model, From Idea to Exit takes a more comprehensive approach, tackling the entire entrepreneurial journey from the initial seed idea through a well-planned exit strategy. Through a persuasive narrative, the author draws from his own success a practical call to action for those who dream of taking that first big step.

Entrepreneurship is scary and thrilling all at the same time. This book will help you think about how to turn your business idea into an avocation that will support you. Jeff Weber understands the path you will need to take, and the fears you will need to overcome."—Jeffrey Carter, cofounder, Hyde Park Angels “From Idea to Exit is an absolute MUST-read for every entrepreneur and even intrapreneur working in corporate America! I am going to make it a requirement for all my mentoring clients. One of the key gifts I got from this book are the four phases going from innovation, start up, and running the business all the way through exit, along with the holistic approach Jeffrey Weber takes. I consider the formulas, checklists, exercises, and planning tools to be worth the investment in the book itself.
