Bill Wagner’s timing is perfect. Opportunities abound for entrepreneurs today, and The Entrepreneur Next Door arrives just in time. Whether you’re a born businessperson or what Bill calls a “wantapreneur,” this book gives you a step-by-step blueprint to success. Thank you, Bill, for disproving the adage that only some people can be great entrepreneurs.

I never thought that a book entitled The Entrepreneur Next Door would attract my attention, let alone keep it. I like the approach of starting with a deep personalanalysis—a sense of self, and then moving on from there. These points of contact are content hooks that pulled me along in the process of seeing where I fit in.Especially interesting is the ability to see exactly where you are. Using the tools in the book make that effect even more powerful. This is a book for doubters and nay-sayers. It’s a conversion experience!
MICHAEL T.HILLER, VICE PRESIDENT ADMINISTRATION, STANFORD FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
Bill Wagner has an uncanny, objective understanding of the dynamics of the workplace environment and in this engaging and humorous book, he shares his insights, candor, and ability to take a complex subject such as personality, bring it to life and make it understandable.

The Entrepreneur Next Door is a must read for anyone considering a future in franchising. At It’s A Grind Coffee House, we are always looking for an entrepreneur with the ideal personality for our business. They are more successful, achieve greater growth sooner, and certainly are more enjoyable to work with.

The Entrepreneur Next Door truly brings it home and the reader with it. It works! Read it, learn and get ready to grow.

In my opinion, Bill’s involvement with The Lloyd Group has been a key factor in our continued growth and success.

In a graduate school of business, we cover an enormous number of topics. I wish we had a class solely to learn and understand the impact of one’s personality on their ultimate choice of endeavor and success. Your content is one of the most useful and long-reaching messages my students have had.
