I am reading a book that was recommended by Dr. Cameron Ford of UCF, and was given to me by Central Florida Partnership President Jacob Stuart. It is a fascinating book about the myths surrounding entrepreneurship. The research is extensive and provides some unique perspectives on entrepreneurship that may surprise you. I am not finished with the book yet, however, I am very encouraged that leaders of our business community are not only reading the latest research on entrepreneurship, but are also willing to share it with each other! That is the cooperation, collaboration, and teamwork that established our region as a leader in entrepreneurial support, and what is essential to the continued development of innovative initiatives to support our small business community.
I almost forgot… the book is called The Illusions of Entrepreneurship by Scott A. Shane.
