Why do some entrepreneurs gravitate toward big deals?

Michael Sonnenfeldt (Author & Chairman, Tiger 21)


Michael W. Sonnenfeldt talks about the premise of his latest book, Think Bigger. According to Sonnenfeldt, it is just as hard to do a small deal as to do a big deal and with a big deal, you make more money. He discusses how the more successful entrepreneurs have larger goals and don’t let the limits of their imagination hold them back from great success.
