  Authors’ Notes and Acknowledgments
  
  
  We would like to thank all the people who contributed to our lifelong passion
  of entrepreneurial learning. Without them this book, which is based on our
  experiences, would not have been possible.
  
  
  We’d also like to acknowledge our wins and our losses, our successes and our
  failures because, without life’s balance of ups and downs and the personal and
  professional growth that comes with it, we would not be where we are today.
  
  
  A special thank-you goes to Meredith McIver and Kathy Heasley who provided
  editorial assistance. Special thanks as well to Allen Weisselberg,
