Goines On: Entrepreneuring

Click image for more vignettes

Goines’ conversation with a young man he met at a family gathering in Virginia stayed with him as he drove himself and Mrs. Goines home on Sunday afternoon. The young man’s profession was business consulting, helping businesses “solve problems and develop strategies.”
    The word “entrepreneur” hadn’t come up in the conversation, but now Goines found himself thinking about his grandson, who wanted to be a successful entrepreneur. His grandson was only a few years younger than the young business consultant, and Goines got to wondering whether the consultant ever counseled young entrepreneurs. Might he be willing to talk with Goines’ grandson?
