For anyone who has lived the start-up life it is clear that business success is part chess game and part luck (plus a lot of work). We can’t help you with the luck part, but when it comes to business as a chess game we have just the ticket:
Bob Rice, successful investor, entrepreneur, and former CEO of Viewpoint, Inc. has just written a engaging new book on business strategy: Three Moves Ahead: What Chess Can Teach You about Business. Don’t worry if you don’t know your rook from your bishop: Bob discusses chess strategies (and how they apply to business) in a way that even a novice can understand.
Bob delves into up close and personal accounts of start up strategy by digging into business such as…well us, here at Email Data Source. Bob is an early investor in Email Data Source and sits on our board, so if you wanted to know the secret to our success, all you need to do is plunk down your $24.95 ($16.47 now on Amazon.com). All the money goes to charity, so buy two.
