"It's the rare entrepreneurship book that tells you what ownership actually costs, and why it's still worth it."
-Drew Yancey, PhD, founder of Teleios Strategy
What separates the daydreamers from the doers? I spent much of my adult life admiring entrepreneurs from the sidelines, convinced that ownership was for someone else. Then came the ultimate leap of faith: stepping away from a fifteen-year career in the ministry to open, of all things, a distillery. Moving from the pulpit to the tasting room was just the beginning. Over the next seven years, that single leap exploded into seven successful businesses. Navigating both the strongest economy in modern US history and an unprecedented global pandemic, this journey exposes the raw reality of business ownership-the sleepless nights, the gut-punch failures, and the triumphs you won't find in textbooks. I Know the Owner will help you shift from the sidelines to the driver's seat. If you are ready to cut through the motivational hype and build a real, revenue-generating legacy, your time is now. Turn the page and become the owner.
