How do you build a community from scratch? What kind of people undertake building a world class resort the scope of Vail, Colorado? What motivated them and what entrepreneurial principles did they call upon? Not until The Making of a Community has the history of how it evolved from a business and organizational perspective been written. With a subtitle of The Vail Way, it describes how it happened in what way did the Vail Valley become so popular. More importantly, it's a story of entrepreneurs who created something special out of nothing. It's the story of realizing a dream. The book explores the motivations that drove the founders and those who have followed. Who were the people the leaders who helped bring it to fruition? The Vail way is rooted in entrepreneurship. It's demonstrated regularly through the values, principles, and attitudes exhibited by entrepreneurs. Beyond vision, there's resilience, trust, focus, and teamwork. In the end, something extraordinary was built.
