Editorial Reviews

Craig Hall

My friend Bob Schlegel tells it like it is. If you’ve ever thought of becoming an entrepreneur or if you are just curious about what makes entrepreneurs do what they do, this is a must read. If you are already an entrepreneur, you can take Bob’s hard-earned lessons to the bank.

Jim Treliving

Angels and Entrepreneurs is an inspiring book sharing the lessons learned and ups and downs all entrepreneurs will inevitably face while navigating business, relationships, and life. A must read not only to learn how to make money and be successful in business, but also how to build a life filled with gratitude and healthy relationships.

Trisha Wilson

I may be biased because I count Bob and Myrna among my closest friends, but Bob’s life story of drive, tenacity, and self-reliance is a wonderful story. Entrepreneurs are a fascinating breed, and I never tire of hearing their inspiring examples of hard work and determination. It is incumbent upon all of us to cultivate and nurture the entrepreneurial drive in others, for they are our future.

Brian Derksen

For more than two decades, I have watched Bob successfully balance the integrated aspects of faith, family, and business. This book is inspiring in that it captures the essence of the building blocks of his success including his roots, his perseverance, and his indomitable spirit.

Jeffrey A. Rich

A must read inspirational journey on the road of life. A story of love, passion, and perseverance...and the American Dream!

Jim Keyes

Angels and Entrepreneurs is the perfect title for a Bob Schlegel book...because he is both! The consummate angel and entrepreneur, Bob has never known a stranger or a failure. Every stranger is turned into a friend, and every failure into a learning experience. Bob has served as an inspiration to me and will be a guiding light, both personally and professionally, for all who read the book.

Jeff Sinelli

Growing hugely successful companies while always putting his family first, Bob Schlegel’s entrepreneurial journey and well-rounded lifestyle has long been an inspiration to me. Bob has given me valuable advice in business, relationships, family, and more. This book filled with his and Myrna’s stories and lessons will help readers pave the path of successful and meaningful entrepreneurship.

Chuck Norris

My wife and I have been dear friends with Bob and Myrna Schlegel for more than twenty-five years, dating back to my days filming the Walker, Texas Ranger television series in Dallas. In fact, our twins were ring bearers at his oldest daughter’s wedding. Although Bob has yet to master my signature roundhouse kick, he has many other talents. I’ve watched him grow his very successful companies over the years and he is truly a natural born entrepreneur. And so, this book is a great resource for others nourishing an entrepreneurial spirit as well as a philanthropic heart and the desire to use their God-given talents to serve others. Angels and Entrepreneurs will inspire you and light the way for you!

Jerry Jones

I know talent when I see it. Talent is great. But what really separates talent from success is perseverance, determination, and hard work. Bob is the perfect example of that. He took his God-given strengths and worked hard, never giving up when things were challenging. In this book, Bob coaches you through some tough plays and shares what he has learned through his wins and losses. He is a man of great character, strength, and generosity as evidenced in the stories throughout this book. This book is a WIN!
