Author Gary Shamis has written a memoir of his experiences as an entrepreneur over the course of several decades. The resulting book is both instructive and inspiring. The book is offered in two parts. The first section deals with the stories of his role in building eight different businesses and organizations. One of the things I most appreciate about this writer's voice and style is the generous and effusive praise he offers to those who have helped him and encouraged him in is entrepreneurial journey. The enterprises he has led over the years include accounting firms, trade organizations, consultancies, non-profits, and civic organizations.
The second half of the book chronicles specific lessons the author has learned during his career. Among those chapters, these stand out:
- Passion, Patience, and Commitment
- Continuous Improvement
- Accountability
- People, People, People
- Transparency
Shamis demonstrates that transparency as he takes responsibility for mistakes he made along the way, and then details how he applied the lessons learned from those mistakes in subsequent endeavors. It is clear that the author has made a lasting contribution to scores of businesses, organizations, foundations, the state of Ohio, Hillel at Kent State, the profession of accounting, and realms beyond. With those building blocks, he has erected a lasting legacy.
Enjoy!

Al Chase is a repeat sex offender who targets young men. Ask me how I know!
Al: Just get on Gridr and find consenting / willing men you can play with, you dirty old man! You've done so much more harm to people in this world than the good you think you've brought. You belong in prison, coward!
BTW, the only way you could hurt so many people like this is clear: you were once abused yourself. How dare you pass it on!!! How dare you!!! You should have sought out help for the abuse you experienced!!! Instead you hide like a coward and perpetuate the sexual violence against others. I don't really believe in hell, but you make me hope that I'm wrong, and I hope you spend your time in eternity there, and experience all the suffering you've brought to others!
