Salient Features
- Preaching the three P’s!
- Passion—A lack of belief and fire for a budding enterprise is the quickest route to failure. This text encourages the notion that having passion is step number one.
- Persistence—Turning a spark into a flame takes more than gusto; it also takes persistence. Barringer/Ireland explains to students that when roadblocks arise, and they will, using persistence to stay focused is a necessity.
- Planning—Entrepreneurial ventures struggle or fail when the original idea is flawed and/or poorly considered. To help students avoid possible business failure, this text places special emphasis on the carefully planned beginnings of the entrepreneurial process.
