You will see the spirit behind these men and women, and be given a glimpse of the incredible drive, vision, and ability to motivate others that allows these great leaders to overcome obstacles, persist in the face of adversity, and win converts to their cause!" "While showing you how entrepreneurs have changed the rules of the business game by defying conventional wisdom, Daring Visionaries also provides a compelling view from the inside out of what it's really like to start and build a company. You'll be awed by Debbie Fields' story of making millions of dollars by baking cookies, and you'll think twice before quitting when you learn how Richard M. Schulze created Best Buy instead of counting his losses." "As author Ray Smilor states, "Entrepreneurs truly believe in their ability to influence events, in their capacity to direct destiny, in their power to shape the future." Find out if you have what it takes to make a business--and a difference. Book jacket."--BOOK JACKET.
