Book Details

A Book Unlike Any Other Aggie-Related Publication

A book unlike any other Aggie-related publication, The Entrepreneurial Spirit of Aggieland II picks up where The Entrepreneurial Spirit of Aggieland left off, detailing the insightful, fascinating and inspirational stories of thirteen Aggies (twelve chapters) who have chased their entrepreneurial dreams, endured hardships, conquered obstacles and succeeded beyond their wildest imaginations. Their stories will serve as a roadmap to success for current and former Texas A&M students with their own entrepreneurial dreams, as each first-person narrative features advice to aspiring entrepreneurs. These innovators have walked the Texas A&M campus and achieved tremendous success, and they each believe you can, too! Perhaps best of all, every penny of proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to Startup Aggieland, a globally-recognized, award-winning and multidisciplinary business accelerator that is already helping current Aggies pursue their dreams. This is truly a one-of-a-kind book designed to propel current and former students to reach their entrepreneurial dreams! “Remember, young man, experience is not the best teacher. Other people’s experience is the best teacher. By reading about the lives of great people, you can unlock the secrets to what made them great.” – Andy Andrews, author of The Noticer: Sometimes, All a Person Needs is a Little Perspective
