What exactly is the entrepreneurial spirit and, most importantly, is it something that can be nurtured and cultivated?

According to Barbara Winter, it's an approach to life, a way of seeing opportunities and then doing something about them. Those who are in touch with this powerful force become enthusiastic problem-solvers, innovators and change agents using their own business as a vehicle for making good things happen.

Whether you're a seasoned veteran of the entrepreneurial life or just seeing your spirit awaken, Jumpstart Your Entrepreneurial Spirit! is a yearbook of 52 glorious essays to move you even further ahead.

You'll find stories about successful entrepreneurs, ideas to bring into your own business and, most importantly, encouragement to keep your entrepreneurial spirit burning brightly. In addition, you'll be challenged to think about each lesson and ask yourself some questions that will add clarity and spark new ideas.

One of Barbara's greatest gifts is of being a storyteller, and each story in this book will inspire you, teach you and affirm your own entrepreneurial spirit. So read the wisdom in this book and keep your heart and mind wide open. Be educated, be inspired and informed and then do what Barbara encourages us to do — to make our life a masterpiece, a monument and a manifestation of the living spirit within all of us.

The Work We Were Born to Do

Dream lofty dreams, and as you dream, so you shall become. Your vision is the promise of what you shall at last unveil.
