CHARLESTON, S.C., April 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Entrepreneur Larry Gaynor shares his hard-earned insights and wisdom about launching and operating a successful business in his new book Take a Chance!: 101 Entrepreneurial Lessons for Making It Big, published by Advantage Books.
“Take a Chance! is your guidebook to avoid costly pitfalls when starting your business,” Gaynor writes. “It will also prepare you for what to do in the second and third stages of growing your business.”
Throughout the book, Gaynor draws on his personal experiences that relate to each of the 101 lessons, in some cases experiences that go back to his childhood when he took his first job working at his father’s hardware store in Detroit.
Take a Chance! divides those lessons into seven parts, each with its own heading related to Gaynor’s journey through life, such as “The Early Days,” “The Explosive Years,” and “The Peak Years.”
Gaynor also shares with readers how important it is that his company, personal care and beauty product manufacturer TNG Worldwide, is a Gallup-trained organization and the difference that training has made for the business. He touts the Gallup StrengthsFinder 2.0 test that reveals to people their top five strengths, and he explains why it’s valuable for entrepreneurs to focus on those strengths, both for themselves and their employees. Gaynor’s own strengths, according to the test: Competition, Focus, Ideation, Maximizer, and Strategic.
Readers also benefit from short “Life Lesson Tips” that come at the end of each lesson, such as: “There will always be those that want to stop you, and your best friends and family could be the worst naysayers.” Or, “The internet is great for research, but there is nothing better than seeing a product, concept, or new business in person. Whether you have to drive or fly, it is well worth the investment in time to experience inspiring ideas firsthand.”
Gaynor notes that entrepreneurs bring to their endeavors different mindsets, values, traditions, beliefs, and upbringings. But they share something in common.
“What is constant among entrepreneurs is the spirit of life,” he writes. “We are passionate about what we do on and off the playing field. We have the ability to motivate people, bring smiles to others, and to make the world a better place.”
