This book exists because of the hundreds of people who have approached me over the years following my appearance on Shark Tank with the same questions and curiosities: “I have an idea… but I just don’t know what to do next.” “I have a prototype…but I can’t seem to get the product done right” “I have inventory… but I can’t seem to reach my customer ”The list goes on... And I get it. They don’t teach this stuff in school. Most people have only been fed the highlight reels of entrepreneurship. Lucky for you, I have a flashlight and I know my way through the woods if you care to come along.
