(OPENPRESS) November 3, 2006 -- John Vinturella and South African entrepreneur Ben Botes, based on different continents, recently combined their years of working with entrepreneurs and small business owners around the globe and created a groundbreaking book on new venture creation. This really is new news for new entrepreneurs

“Release Your Inner Entrepreneur” (RYIE) is the result of information compiled from working with hundreds of clients, and addresses issues relevant to budding entrepreneurs as well as experienced small business owners. Whether an entrepreneur is local or international in scope, RYIE provides a thorough yet clear analysis of the steps involved in starting a successful venture or sharpening an existing business.

Features of the book include real life scenarios, ongoing coaching support throughout and a supplemental web site (RYIE.com) with timely resources and downloadable podcasts to support readers well beyond the last page. The authors offer common sense tips, and apply their professional savvy on strategic issues to support the reader in the many steps from idea formulation to “harvesting” the business.
