Welcome to 15 Bedtime Stories That Keep Entrepreneurs Awake At Night.
The content on this site was created for the “Personal Entrepreneur,” that man or woman who uses his or her own money, shoulders their own debt, and is subjected to personal liability when starting their own company.
Dave Ingram, Author of 15 Bedtime Stories That Keep Entrepreneurs Awake at Night. Founder, President and CEO of Capital TechSearch.
Through this site, and the book, you’ll find thoughts and “Bus-inspiration” handcrafted by David Ingram, a personal entrepreneurial expert who started his own information-technology company in 2001.
We invite you to join in the discussion and submit your own entrepreneurial ”Bedtime Story” – the scarier, the better. We’ll post a few from time to time.
Whatever your entrepreneurial story, take David’s advice :
“Know that anything you’ve been through as a company can only make you stronger, as long as you go about solving challenges with a carefully developed set of processes, standards and ethics. I hope the experiences that I share show you that as an entrepreneur, you’re not alone: Most problems are solvable, and, even with that being said – no one knows it all!”
As a successful business owner, entrepreneur and author, David is available for speaking engagements for your business, association or networking group. Please use the “contact us” page for your request.
