Stories with Connie

by Marc Steren, Tami Levey

Overview

A dying mentor tells true stories of entrepreneurship and life lessons. The book is a guide on the attributes of successful entrepreneurs how to apply the attributes and the proven science behind them.

I was away when I heard of Connie Giles' passing. She was a mentor, colleague and most of all, a friend. I think she would be comforted to know that 100% the proceeds of this book will go to her favorite cause, education.
