The "Billion-dollar Repairman" Shares Tactics for Aspiring Entrepreneurs

By David Cohen

Among our student ranks I've been thrilled to see a surge in the number of young, entrepreneur-minded students enrolling in CollegePlus!

As more families realize that CollegePlus! offers students the freedom and flexibility to pursue entrepreneurial endeavors while they earn their degree, in the near future I expect to see CollegePlus! students at the forefront of innovative and creative entrepreneurship.

One of the beautiful things about entrepreneurship is that almost every entrepreneur has an amazing story to share—a story of triumph, or failure, or a combination of both.

There's an incredible new book by a Christian entrepreneur named Jim Patton, who the media has affectionately dubbed "The Billion-dollar Repairman".

In Patton's book, Life In The Turn Lane, aspiring entrepreneurs can benefit a great deal as they read how Patton had to learn entrepreneurship the hard way—from getting fired at his first job, losing everything in a major acquisition and watching a partner walk away with profits that were his.

On his way to managing mergers and acquisitions for billion-dollar companies, Patton discovered how to navigate the curves that otherwise turn hopes into fears and dreams into nightmares.

In Life in the Turn Lane, Patton highlights his story with practical and poignant ideas you can use to build your own entrepreneurial success story.

In the spirit of innovative entrepreneurship, when you buy Life In The Turn Lane on October 5th or 6th through Amazon, you will get direct access to hundreds of dollars worth of discounts and free products from over a dozen different companies.

If entrepreneurship is a passion, you will be well served by reading Life In The Turn Lane. Patton's entertaining narrative is honest, engaging, and packed with real-world education from a Christian perspective.

David David loves world travel, the book of Genesis, Tekkamaki, the beach, and his wife Khristen. If you have a story to share about life, learning, or how you're being a disruptive college student, click here to send David an email, he's always on the hunt for a great story.

It's always great hearing from a Christian businessman, we don't see too many of these kinds of books. Thank for the info.
