lessons on thinking big, chasing dreams, and building community

"The consummate motivational playbook on how to think big and dream bigger, by the founders of the renowned Summit leadership series. Elliott Bisnow, Brett Leve, Jeff Rosenthal and Jeremy Schwarz founded the acclaimed Summit leadership conference with just a vision and a prayer. In 2009, with no money in the bank, and no special connections, they found themselves cold calling frantically as they struggled to make the hard transition from hosting free leadership events, to a ticketed event in Aspen. From those spare beginnings, they have built nothing less than a leadership empire. In Make No Small Plans, they reveal the lessons and insights that can encourage every one of us to dream bigger and do something great with our lives"--, Provided by publisher
