This book presented a major challenge for me. Facing cognitive issues with my multiple sclerosis (MS), I am so appreciative of two friends and colleagues for helping me. With this in mind, I dedicate this book to Danny Gershwin, who transcribed the manuscript. He is a special friend who pushed me to get it done. I also appreciate my loyal friend, Chet Burke, who is always an inspiration to me on all my projects and shares my commonsense perspective toward dealing with both business issues and my personal challenges with MS. My son Tripp was very instrumental in helping me focus every day. I also dedicate the book to my three other children: Hunter, Tate, and Abbott. They helped me keep my focus on commonsense solutions to seemingly complex issues.
