It has been a year on the road since the book launch. We started with the Ivy League MBA programs right before the stock market crash to the Commonwealth Club of California speech a few months ago wrapping up next month at the Churchill Club Start-up Growth Strategies for the New Order”.

Entrepreneurs should consider is it better to seek to be independent, or aim to be acquired? Should that be decided up front, and if so, what should be done differently? My view, courtesy of Tom Abate, is Silicon Valley hotshots should quit swinging for the fences and instead send a sharp line drive to the opposite field – or just bunt.

Back Cover:
“Never before has the entrepreneurial spirit, a spirit requiring heroic proportions of daring, discipline, wisdom, and sacrifice, faced with so many pitfalls nor witnessed so many opportunities. I share this spirit, and it is through a sense of kinship with this community of very special people that I share my hard-earned lessons learned in Strategic EntrepreneurismTM.” – Jon B. Fisher

The dream of nearly every entrepreneur is to create the next big-name success story like Dell Computers or Google. While it is nice to dream big, the reality is that most startups fail precisely because they are trying to become the next big-name success. The real secret to entrepreneurial success lies in Strategic Entrepreneurism, where you design a company specifically to be acquired by a larger one. A thorough understanding of this concept is crucial in our modern economic environment with its focus on technological efficiency and its plethora of highly acquisitive organizations.
This informative guide shows ambitious entrepreneurs how to design their companies towards the path of least resistance, the maximum payoff, and the lowest amount of risk.
If you are thinking about starting up a business, you need a plan. And Strategic Entrepreneurism needs to be a part of it!

What’s all the excitement about? Our new holiday labels feature an edge-to-edge “full bleed” color. Don’t worry, this isn’t some outdated medical practice. Full bleed labels simply mean that colors and graphics are printed right up to the edge of the label, sort of like getting borderless prints from the photo-finisher.

You can select & personalize your labels online, or for help choosing the perfect wine for the holidays, just call one of our helpful wine consultants, who can set you up with both wine and labels.

If you are an artist yourself or have a graphic designer you like to work with, another popular option is to use your own creative wine label design. A personal wine consultant can help you with that too. Either way, you’ll receive outstanding wine with a personalized touch which you’ll be proud to serve or give as an unforgettable gift to friends, family and business associates. Get started now to receive your wine in time for the holidays.
