I found myself answering all of their questions in the exact same way and realized after a year of this that there was a need for someone to lay out what it looks like to bring a business to life. I began coaching people for about 4 or 5 years and all of my writing, e-mails and research yielded this beautiful book. It’s the combination of nearly five year of work and I am excited for people to read it.” – Ben ArmentFor a detailed summary of Dream Year according to Ben Arment CLICK HERERelated Books:Scrum: The Art of Doing Twice the Work in Half the Time by Jeff SutherlandSmartcuts: How Hackers, Innovators, and Icons Accelerate Success by Shane SnowOwn Your Future by Paul BrownFor more advice, tips, and stories on entrepreneurship, join our community on Facebook and Twitter.Category Tags: business model, American dream, passion into profit, hobbies, monetization, starting a business, launching a product, career advice, entrepreneurship
