I have shared this book with several organizations including both senior staff and board members ... all have found it very practical and energy-creating. The concepts are perhaps not new but Steckel puts together a simple, step by step process for people who have not been through it before. This makes it a little less overwhelming and a lot more doable. Of particular importance it the fact that a entrepreneurial venture must be embedded into your organization strategically and practically. So many business ventures become badly managed warts on the organization. Steckels approach helps prevent this from happening.I wonder if the reviewers who panned the book: a) already run successful businesses making this book too basic or b) have a bitter taste in their mouths from failed ventures (maybe they should read the book again!)or c)wouldn't be caught dead sticking their necks out in a planned and deliberate way that Steckel prescribes.All in all ... its worth the read. Don't let the title put you off. His point is "there is not dirty money and clean money there is only money."Paula J. MacLean Edmonton Alberta Canada

Worth the read and certainly the modest price. For the rookie and intermediate non-profit manager and board.
