We hear every day about the flashy twenty-five-year-old wunderkinds who have hit it big in the tech world and celebrated CEOs who have flourished in public companies. But we rarely hear about the majority of successful men and women who, at the average age of forty-one, start their own company. The author was forty when he founded Homax Corporation in 1981. He is an eclectic award-winning entrepreneur who would like to share what he learned in business and life with others. He sold his company in 1996 which was thoughtfully structured to be sustainable for talented management who continued growing the company. It was purchased by PPG July 2, 2014. A ROADMAP FOR BOOTSTRAPPING ENTREPRENEURS, The Power To Control Your Future: is a book that echoes the words of St. Francis of Assisi, “Start by doing what is necessary, then what is possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible.” This story shows young entrepreneurs how to plot their course to succeed in business and life by building cultures with good character while simultaneously growing themselves. It also speaks to the middle-aged start-up entrepreneur about how to assess risk and how to focus their courage to begin. All proceeds from the book sales will be dedicated to a scholarship fund. Praise for A ROADMAP FOR BOOTSTRAPPING ENTREPRENEURS “Wow! What a book. The experiences, quotes, quick short chapters make this a must read for college business classes. This is truly spectacular. Now I know why it took so long to write. Just like your skiing, racing and business execution, everything is carefully thought out and reviewed. When you think of all the experiences woven into the book, you have to say it is one remarkable story.” James Galbreath, Managing Director NWQ investments “First of all I felt you wrote the book just for me. I learned a ton reading it. It felt like a love letter from someone who is like a dad figure. I found so many pages with valued lessons that should be incorporated in daily life and personal life as well as business life..” Ellen Rossi, BOD member Alta Ski Area “I am reading the book for the third time and continue to be amazed at what you put together in those pages. Each chapter has insights and advice for aspiring entrepreneurs that could only come from someone who has been there and done that. You have written a graduate level curriculum for entrepreneurship providing the framework for such a course at any business school. One thing that also came out was your devotion to treating people with honesty, integrity and fairness.” David Sanctuary, MBA, Continental Airlines, Director of the Boeing 757/767 flight standards and training. “Thank you for the opportunity and privilege of reviewing your book. I thoroughly enjoyed the exercise. Many things in the book resonate with me, remind me of lessons learned and lessons observed.” Mark Neporent, COO, Senior Legal Officer Cerberus Capital

You know you want to start a business, but you are not sure how to do it. Like many entrepreneurs, you are chomping at the bit to lift off, but you are struggling with a healthy fear of failure. You need a step-by-step process to guide you through the uncertainties of starting up. If you are determined to build, lead, and grow a profitable business, The Startup Roadmap: 21 Steps to Profitability is designed for you.When I created the plans to launch my own business, USI, I followed a similar process. I could not afford to fail. I had a young family that relied on my income. Even though I couldn't wait to go out on my own, I had to consider the ramifications of leaving my corporate job. Prior to liftoff, my team and I invested six months of our time - without compensation - answering the 21 questions included in The Startup Roadmap. It paid big dividends. We grew USI into an Inc. 500 company and then sold it 14 years later to Johnson Controls, a Fortune 100 company. I want to share this Roadmap with you to help put you and your business on the path to profitability.As a bonus, we have included a preview from our upcoming book, The Purpose Is Profit. The preview includes the Introduction and Chapter 1. It puts you in the shoes of an entrepreneur preparing to take the risk to start up and then provides chapter summaries outlining the journey from startup to exit.Unlike visionary "change the world" books, The Purpose Is Profit is for every one of you with the desire to start your own business - no matter the size, type, or scope. The Purpose Is Profit uses a personal story to describe the mental struggle to start up, the funding challenge, lessons learned from good and bad decisions, the scaling process to Inc. 500, and the sale to a Fortune 100 company. It is a realistic exposé of what worked and what didn't. The Purpose Is Profit is scheduled for distribution in the Fall 2015.
