Every entrepreneur has recipes for success and tales of overcoming adversity. These recipes and tales serve to articulate each entrepreneur's natural inclination toward the knowledge, perseverance, and patience that are necessary to build and nurture a business. In this regard, How to Catch a Mouse with No Cheese is similar to other books written for and by entrepreneurs. This book utilizes my entrepreneurial experiences as launching pads and illustrative devises to demonstrate the grit this is required to open, run, and grow a business. My experiences span the course of 20 years. During that time, I have opened businesses, closed businesses, made millions, and lost millions; I have entrepreneurial war stories that depict true accounts of not only espionage and betrayal, but also the forging of strong alliances. Nevertheless, How to Catch a Mouse with No Cheese is distinct from other books written for and by entrepreneurs because it explains how an entrepreneur can start a business without any money! It is designed to serve as a road map for anyone with little or no money and who wants to start a business.
