Building a business is much like building your life: it takes courage, determination, and not a small amount of inspiration and strength against adversity. To become fully actualized in business or life, you must identify your three primary truths: What do I love? What do I know? Is it time for me to shine?
From selling seashells by the seashore to serving in the Cold War to founding a company committed to developing a world-changing medical device, serial entrepreneur and gifted raconteur, Bill Rader, describes his journey to find his actualization. His story is a rich mix of business triumphs and challenges, lively adventure and personal tragedy. As a result of his journey, Bill built his own personal Venn, which defined his three fundamental truths and allowed him to find his life’s purpose.
The Venn Effect will help you on your way to finding your roadmap to success, whether you are looking for direction in your career or definition in your life.
