Jim Stovall has penned three delightful parables for anyone who wants to be inspired or give the gift of inspiration. In The Ultimate Gift, Jason Stevens learns to appreciate the value of his life, while in The Ultimate Life, he learns the value of love. Now, in the touching conclusion to the trilogy, Jason learns that life's journey is all about traveling well--not about the destination.
When Jason Stevens found out he had to learn twelve lessons to maybe get an unnamed inheritance from his billionaire grandfather, he was not amused. By the time he’d finished learning the imposed lessons, he’d become a different man. Ready to tackle the duties of running a multibillion dollar trust, his plans for the year are once again derailed; this time by his pugnacious family. Not content with their cattle ranches and oil fields, his aunts, uncles, and even his mother are determined to see every last dime entrusted to their own self-serving pockets. With none of the reluctance he initially showed for The Ultimate Gift, he eagerly accepts the challenge and pushes himself to prove not only to his family and the court but also to the world that with determination and the simple tenets of The Ultimate Gift, anyone can lead The Ultimate Life.
The comprehensive guide to starting and growing your dream business.
In this groundbreaking book, bestselling author Jim Stovall shares the practical wisdom gained from his forty-year career as an award-winning entrepreneur alongside the time-tested strategies compiled by Dr. Kevin Schneider through his experience as the Director of the Stovall Center for Entrepreneurship at Oral Roberts University. Few books have offered both pragmatic, real-world examples and proven academic principles, as readers will find in The Art of Entrepreneurship. Transform your natural aptitudes, interests, and resources into a lucrative business as you discover:
- The key characteristics of an entrepreneur—and whether you possess them.
- Myths and misconceptions about entrepreneurship—it’s not a get-rich-quick scheme, nor is it simply for people who want to work less and not have a boss.
- How to get started as an entrepreneur—keeping your current job as you turn your side hustle or creative idea into an empire.
- Why some entrepreneurs succeed when others struggle—it’s not about trading time for money; it’s about creating a money machine.
- The values of entrepreneurship—first and foremost, service rendered to other people.
- The path of entrepreneurship from start to finish—learning when to pull the trigger and when to pull the plug.
- How to build the dream entrepreneur team that will support you in your journey.
Entrepreneurship is both a science and an art. This book teaches both dimensions—the hard skills and the soft skills, the action steps and the mindset—so that you can seize the opportunities for entrepreneurship in your midst and turn your business idea into a successful start-up that adds value to you, your family, your community, and the larger world.

"This is the book I wished was available 30 years ago when I was desperate and broke with only a dream of one day being a millionaire. Now, as a multimillionaire, I want to share the wisdom I've gained from the journey and provide other travelers with a map to guide them on their journey." (Jim Stovall)
The Millionaire Map reveals¦
You can't expand your wallet until you expand your mind. Becoming a millionaire is not just about all the things you want to have, but it's about the things you want to do and give. In order to climb to the financial peak, you've got to crawl out of the valley of debt. You will either voluntarily control your money now, or it will force its control on you later. The vast majority of people never arrive at their destination " not because they don't have what it takes but because they don't manage what they have.
