The acknowledgements sections I’ve written in the past have been for technical books. This one is about how to do business. And business acumen begins with your parents: the first time they help you get a savings account, when they tell you to put a little aside instead of spending it all on candy, and when they teach you all the little details that help you get a better understanding of humans. So, thank you to my parents and the rest of my family for guiding me through all of those formative years. Then there are the teachers. This includes the ones that taught you specific things they were supposed to teach you that are easily understood as linking to business acumen, like how to do t-values and p-values or how to properly run a general ledger. The world is a complicated place, and without some seriously awesome guidance in our schooling, none of us would likely be where we are today.
