Take Control of Your Business—and Watch it Grow How can entrepreneurs learn from those that came before, so they can better craft their own approach to success? Award-winning professor of entrepreneurship, Dileep Rao, presents readers with a detailed guide to success through his interviews and analysis of billionaire and millionaire entrepreneurs. While starting a business without outside help seems difficult—even impossible—Rao shows you that it can be done. And the right type of funding could even lead to a more successful business. Rao shares how more than 90 percent of America’s billion-dollar entrepreneurs avoided or delayed venture capital, and instead used smart strategies on business, capital, and leadership. It takes more than one person to grow a business from the bottom up. But that doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice control in the process. Armed with twenty-three years of experience as a financier, Rao shows readers how to optimize internal financing to attract external financing, to keep control of the venture—and more of the wealth.
