ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
I'm extraordinarily grateful to my family for countless reasons, and two specifically come to mind with respect to this book. Thank you to my daughters, Rebecca, Jordan, and Julia, who provided a wealth of insights and ideas as I watched them grow up, learn, and apply their thinking. Of course, special thanks to my wife, Stephanie, who for all these years has endured all of my never ending questions—and of course answered the most important question 22 years ago by saying, “Yes.”
Thank you to my editor, Stephen Smith, who was able to decipher and translate my brain dumps into readable form with phenomenal turnaround times.
Special thanks to a few of my clients, who over the years continually asked, “Where's the book?”
Finally, thanks to John Wiley & Sons, Inc., for finding and encouraging me to take “write the book” off my to-do list and actually do it. Thanks especially to my development editor, Christine Moore, whose suggestions and encouragement were exemplary.
