New Book By Former Boone County Resident, Bob Russell If you know a young person who needs help deciding what to do with the rest of their life then this book could be the answer. The book tells the inspiring life stories of 17 people who achieved financial success through free market capitalism. Among the stories in the book are those of four local entrepreneurs - Joe Eaton of Special Power, Inc., Mike Fisher of Heartwood Creations, Inc., Brian and Bev Nelson of The Bedroom, Inc., and Russell’s parents who were farmers in Capron. In addition, there are 13 other life stories about other entrepreneurs who made their dreams come true. Russell tells all about their lives, including their failures as well as their successes. The stories detail the education, experience, trials and tribulations of these entrepreneurs on their way to achieving financial independence. The author, Robert J. Russell, was born and raised on a farm in Boone County and spent his entire career in banking in Rockford. He now resides in Fort Myers, FL
This book may be purchased on Amazon.com and at bookstores everywhere!
