Don’t you give up walking ‘cause you gave up shoes.” The Wiz, 1976 Saturday, I had my official book launch for Entrepreneurial Elevation, 31 Strategic Lessons and Life Stories. It was my first opportunity center stage to discuss my business and background. When I was given the mic I stumbled despite all of my preparations.
