About Ken Horn:

“I am new to the book publishing business but been in the startup community for a good number of years. I’ve worked for different leading agencies for enterprise and business startup. More recently I have started my own nationwide field base program helping people startup on their own and providing them with the right level of advice that they typically need.

This book was born out of frustration. We needed more answers to the questions that everyday entrepreneurs have and I wasn’t finding them. That’s when I decided to write Everyday Entrepreneur, to encourage others out there that needed an extra push.” – Ken Horn

Some of the first lessons I learned mowing lawns, a couple hundred a week sometimes, not only paid my way through college but really formed the opinions that helped me make millions and millions of dollars by the time I was 25.

The reason I wrote the book was because I couldn’t find something like it out there already. I read so many books growing up and I never felt like I was getting the real deal. I always felt like it was too generic. I wanted to know how ordinary people achieve outrageous success. So that is what drove us to sit down, spend years’ worth of work and carve out this book that now is a bestseller.” – Dan Waldschmidt

This book is perfect for entrepreneurs who learn new sales tactics through real-life or fictional and entertaining stories.

“I am the co-owner of Courage Crafters, Inc. and co-author of the bestselling book Go for No!. Richard and I author the book together and also are husband and wife. We live in Orlando with our crazy cat named Courage and we have been entrepreneurs for a little over 15 years. We love every bit of it, have learned a lot along the way and are excited for our future endeavors.

It was centered around a story that actually happened to Richard, kind of the signature Go for No story. And when we would do an eighth hour training or workshop, it was the singular topic that people loved, they love the idea, the philosophy, the concept or what it means to go for no. Since that was the most popular piece in an eight hour program, we decided we wanted to write the book and really take the topic, blow it up and examine it from all different areas.” – Andrea Waltz

This book is perfect for the entrepreneur interested in the fundamentals of innovation and business through the relationship between asking great questions and coming up with great business ideas.

About Warren Berger:

“I am a longtime journalist and author, I used to write for New York Times and Wired Magazine. I currently write for Fast Company and Harvard Business Review. Along the way I’ve written several books and the last couple of books has had to do with innovation and design thinking. The most recent book I moved from design thinking into questioning and A More Beautiful Question is focused on that aspect of innovation.

The inspiration was that I was studying a lot of entrepreneurs, innovators and business leaders and one of the things I noticed was questioning. I found that a lot of great innovators and business thinkers start with great questions; they are asking the questions that no one else is asking. I wanted to see what it was about questioning, why is it so powerful and why are some people better at it than others.” – Warren Berger

In this episode Jerry Baltus provides his expert opinion on exit planning when it comes to selling your business. The difference with Final Act of Ownership is that Baltus focuses on small businesses and talks directly to business owners only. This book is less technical and is written to make it easier for a lay person to follow. Most business owners who read the book may not realize all the ends and outs of what it takes to sell the business and people only get one shot at this for the most part.

About Jerry Baltus:

“I am located in Plymouth, Wisconsin. I have been a business coach for nearly eight years and have built my business around helping business owners be more successful in their business in a variety of ways. I am an avid reader and bicyclist too.

I really didn’t start out to write a book, I just wanted to write a white paper to support some of the work that I do in regards to exit planning with business owners. It grew as I realized that familiarity with all the aspects of selling a business just was not there. As I started to write I realized I had a lot to say on the subject and it grew in to a book.” – Jerry Baltus

This book is the perfect fit for entrepreneurs or business owners looking for an exit strategy for their business plan. This is a book that is specific to building wealth for entrepreneurs and will focus on both the liquid and the illiquid investments. As an entrepreneur this is really the only book you need to read on wealth management.

About Mark Tepper:

“I own a wealth management firm called Strategic Wealth Partners based out of Cleveland Ohio. Our focus is on working with entrepreneurs and taking care of their wealth management needs.

I am married and have three kids who are seven, almost five and almost three.

The majority of my clients are entrepreneurs and entrepreneurs tend to have very unique wealth management situations. Entrepreneurs need to focus on building and growing both their liquid investments but also their illiquid wealth, growing that is just as important, if not more. What we found is on average about 80% of entrepreneurs net worth is tied up in his or her illiquid business. And additionally most entrepreneurs are only going to sale that business one time and that is going to be the most significant financial event of their life.  We really wanted to put together a book that looked at both sides of the wealth management equation.” – Mark Tepper
