How to Think Like An Entrepreneur will explore what it takes to be a successful entrepreneur--the ability to disrupt the status quo and generate fresh perspectivese--and ultimately lead us to the heart of great entrepreneurial thinking: an understanding of our deepest human needs. By harnessing the passion, verve and limitless imagination of an entrepreneur, this book will show you new ways to improve your business, but also your life and relationships.
