Synopsis World traveler, mountain cyclist, jazz musician, and entrepreneur Gary Erickson shares the tale of creating his successful Clif Bar company, which he started from scratch in his mother's kitchen. With co-author Lois Lorentzen, Erickson has written a fascinating, action-packed tale that will act as a strong professional model and a fine personal example. Of particular interest to the aspiring business owner, RAISING THE BAR details the experience of rejecting a huge buyout offer, not only to maintain control of Clif Bar, but also to keep a tight hold on his own philosophies and beliefs. Loaded with entertaining stories from Erickson's adventurous life, and full of hope for society and for the planet, this book will act as an inspiration for any reader with an eye to the future of both.
