My mission is to share my knowledge and success from building four businesses, starting college and veteran educational programs, writing a best-selling entrepreneurship guide and publishing the Current in Entrepreneurship blog to help everyday people break free from mediocrity and start their own business to realize personal and financial freedom through self-employment.

So long as ambitious people follow the proven lean or evidenced-based method, persist through a customer development process and are sufficiently motivated, they can build a successful business and earn the respect, personal satisfaction, and financial rewards of their dreams.

They will “set their own salary” earning unlimited income from an activity about which they are passionate.

“Entrepreneurship is living a few years of your life like most people won't so you can spend the rest of your life like most people can’t.”

"Everyone can become a successful entrepreneur if they follow evidenced-based planning, focus on a passionate product or service, and have high desire."

Our mission is to embrace the pursuit of excellence both inside and outside the classroom for those whose goal is to embrace the opportunity to run their own business. We encourage critical thinking and emphasize the learning process over rote memorization. Because evidenced-based entrepreneurship uses validated planning, it doubles the chances for success and reduces risk, and has usurped the traditional "Written Business Plan", as the most favorably considered method of evaluating the chances of success for startup enterprises and burgeoning businesses.
