I wrote this book as a means to help settle the case of ‘eccentric’ vs. ‘lunatic’. The stories are more than entertaining. They will give you eye-opening moments that will change your journey of self-actualization because as our beliefs expand, they mature our attitudes, which lead us to behave in more confident, generous and loving ways.

Fire in the Belly
Dr. Ernesto Sirolli, the world’s leading authority on reversing small business and micro-enterprise mortality rates believes;

"Working with entrepreneurs requires great care, especially because there are no rational explanations or definitions for entrepreneurship. I would like to suggest that entrepreneurship has two components: passion and skill.

Passion is the “fire in the belly,” that all-consuming dedication that is essential to the pursuit of any worthwhile activity. I use the word not in its romantic connotations, but according to the Latin etymology “passio,” meaning “to suffer.” No artistic, social, economic, or sporting success is achieved without total commitment and the ability to endure whatever it takes to fulfill one’s vision.

Passion, however, is not enough. Without the ability to paint, to run, to inspire social change, or to manage a successful business, passion is nothing but wishful thinking and frustration. Skill makes the dream real and transforms passion into good work."

Entrepreneurial Schizophrenia® is a tool for developing skill. It’s a mirror on the enterprising challenge: whether to persevere, or to drop out; to change course again, or to throw in the towel; to listen to your Boss, or to shut them up.

Cheers -  to Passion and Skill!
