“The best advice I can give you is to take the content in this book seriously, work hard, surround yourself with the right people, and always try to remain positive and to persevere! Entrepreneurship is a marathon, not a sprint, so use this book to play the long game the smart way.”

“There are few resources that effectively help entrepreneur’s navigate the black box of risk and decision-making along their tumultuous journey. Every aspect of that journey – whether it be marketing, financing, partner- ships, HR, networking, or actually launching has unlimited landmines that can put an end to a dream. This book is a critical how-to guide for any entrepreneur at any stage to spot and disarm those landmines with expert precision.”
—Doan Winkel, Senior Vice President of Programming, United States Association for Small Business and Entrepreneurship
“In their new book, The Entrepreneur’s Guide… Thom Pittz and Eric Liguori have identified all of the key issues that entrepreneurs face in developing and growing businesses and provide critical and detailed guidance for success. I am pleased to see a major section of the book devoted to networks and networking as an entrepreneur’s network of support is the foundation for entrepreneurial innovation and growth.”
—William B. Gartner, The Bertarelli Foundation Distinguished Professor Family Entrepreneurship, Babson College
