Bob seamlessly blends the theoretical traits of entrepreneurial success he’s researched, with the real-world insights he’s learned from starting and building actual businesses. With this bold, forward-thinking approach, Bob’s books and presentations offer practical advice and proven strategies that give professional audiences a roadmap to achieve their own objectives of success.
