Using inspiring stories about his own experience and fascinating accounts of entrepreneurs throughout the world, Craig Hall explodes the myths of entrepreneurship -- myths like: an entrepreneur's only concern is making money; or nice guys finish last; or the greater the risk, the greater the reward; or that entrepreneurship is the way to get rich quick -- just to mention a few.

Publishers Weekly Review

In a similar vein, The Responsible Entrepreneur: How to Make Money and Make a Difference focuses on businesspersons in both the for-profit and nonprofit sector who took risks to help others and found rewards themselves. Author Craig Hall debunks common myths about entrepreneurs (that they only care about making money, etc.) and offers motivational tales from successful capitalists like Doraja Eberle, who fed the hungry in Sarajevo, and Albert Black, who provided employment opportunities for the underprivileged.
