"What does it take to become an entrepreneur? David M. Campbell shares the secrets of his success and gives readers the tools they need to follow in his footsteps." "Campbell focuses on the importance of seeking out new, different and unique opportunities - just as he did in the 1950s, when he wagered on the novel technology of cable television, and again in the 1970s, when he rode the wave of the global information business. He provides easy-to-follow lessons for the busy reader with an interest in how real fortunes are built." "Business schools teach skills, but a real entrepreneur is born, not made. Campbell details the endowments of character and personality the contribute to entrepreneurial success, such as a strong work ethic, appreciation of value, ambition to bring ideas to fruition, sociability, and invention. As well, he underscores the importance of reinvesting in oneself." "Do You Really Need an MBA? is an inspiring story with invaluable how-to advice for anyone who wants to enrich their business skills and lead a life of personal success."--Jacket.
