“I have never met a man with more passion for the entrepreneurial experience than Griff Lindell. He communicates with inspiration, clarity, and well-earned wisdom.

“Regretfully, the world of business is littered with the financial skeletons of those who have wanted to own their own business. Many failed for reasons out of their control, most failed because they did not have a tool to honestly asses their abilities, personal traits, habits, resources and personal skills before they jumped into the world of business. Griff’s book provides a practical, yet tangible way to measure if you’re ready and if you not what specifically you need to do to improve your chances of success.”
“Spike” Bailey, Retired Corporate Executive, Entrepreneur
