She also introduces us to some of the one thousand entrepreneurs shes advised, like Leila Velez, who started a hair-care company in her kitchen sink in Rio that now earns $80 million a year. As Linda writes:
Every day I meet people with a dream. Maybe youre serving coffee and fantasizing about launching a microbrewery; maybe youve skipped college and yearn to start your own design firm; maybe youre sitting in your cubicle and brainstorming a new idea that can improve your company.
You have a dream, but you dont know how to turn your dream into reality. Or youve already launched your dream but youre unsure how to take it to the next level. This book can show you the way.
