O knihe

Praise for IRRATIONAL PERSISTENCE "Many business books are dense and hard to follow. Not this one. Full of wit and charm, Irrational Persistence is a fantastic read that I felt emotionally connected to as I turned the pages. The captivating story not only shares the lessons learned along the way, but conveys them in a manner that any entrepreneur can relate to. The sympathetic connection makes these lessons easy to take to heart." TED SERBINSKI, Managing Director, Techstars Mobility "Irrational Persistence is a true ?Made in America? story, and should be an inspiration to entrepreneurs everywhere. At a time when news of the business world often focuses on impersonal mega conglomerates behaving badly, the incredible history of Garden Fresh Gourmet shows us that real, long–term success is achieved not by ignoring time–honored values of hard work, honesty, and commitment to excellence, but rather by embracing them. A team with the passion to grow a company the right way did just that, focusing on creating a quality product, establishing unique customer relationships, working to help their community and, most of all, taking no short cuts. In the end it is a story that makes even the most cynical of us proud; proud that this kind of success can and still does happen in America." CHRIS RIZIK, CEO, Renaissance Venture Capital Fund "Dave Zilko has ridden the roller coaster of a successful business. He has experienced the pitfalls and rewards of the American dream all the while staying true to the core values inside his soul and the great company he helped build. This book takes you on a journey of self–discovery while reaching for the unknown in true entrepreneurial spirit. Zilko describes how grabbing your boot straps or doing a grass roots marketing plan can still work if your core principles are real and you live up to them without compromise. A must read for anyone who?s thinking about starting a business, who has a business, or retired from business." BRIAN POLCYN, Professor of Charcuterie, Schoolcraft College, Author of the bestselling books Charcuterie and Salumi Restaurateur "The naysayers who believe that some sacrificing of quality is essential to scaling up a national and international brand need to take heed. The fresh and natural food revolution is real, and the Garden Fresh founders created products and a business model through relentless customer service, innovation, and an unshakable trust that consumers would value the difference." RICHARD BAIRD, Senior Advisor and Transformation Leader, Office of Governor Rick Snyder, State of Michigan "An incredible look inside the mind of an entrepreneur. Was it luck that brought a bankrupt startup to a quarter billion dollar business, or was it a mindset that was immune to the prospect of failure? If you have ever wondered what drives an entrepreneur to succeed when others turn back, this book is a must read." JIM MAHONEY, Partner, Huron Capital Partners
