Author Chris Hurn offers deal to entrepreneurs: Proceeds from sale of multiple books to support Young Entrepreneur Foundation

ORLANDO, Fla. — Christopher Hurn, chief executive officer of Orlando based Mercantile Capital Corporation, has a special offer for entrepreneurs: buy two or more copies of his new book — The Entrepreneur’s Secret to Creating Wealth: How the Smartest Business Owners Build Their Fortunes, out Oct. 1 — and he’ll donate all proceeds to the NFIB Young Entrepreneur Foundation. The book, which sells for $19.95, offers Hurn’s unique perspective on wealth he gained lending money — $318 million so far in 2012 — to fund the efforts of small business entrepreneurs to acquire or develop their own facilities. Hurn, a frequent guest as a small business commentator on Fox Business News, The Huffington Post, and other media outlets, said he knows how small business entrepreneurs think because he is one. Hurn believes it’s that entrepreneurial spirit that makes America exceptional. But it takes more than just spirit to make a business thrive. “There’s no magic to starting a business; more than 500,000 Americans do it every year. The secret is how to grow your net worth, while simultaneously growing your business,” Hurn said.
