Entrepreneurship SucceSSfully launching new VentureS
Dedication To my wife, Jan. Thanks for your never-ending encouragement and support. Without you, this book would have never been possible. Also, thanks to all the student entrepreneurs who contributed to the chapter opening features in the book. Your stories are both insightful and inspiring. —Bruce R. Barringer To my family: I am so proud of each of you and so blessed by your perseverance and never-ending love and support. I know that sometimes it seems as though “we lose ourselves in work to do and bills to pay and that it’s a ride, ride, ride without much cover.” But you are always in my heart, a gift for which I remain deeply grateful. —R.
