"The Spirit of Opportunity: How Free Enterprise Capitalism Lets Entrepreneurs at Winsupply Earn Their Own Success" by Richard W. Schwartz with Teresa Zumwald (2026, revised and expanded edition)
Book Description
In 1956, three businessmen and boyhood friends from Dayton, Ohio, had an idea for a new business venture. They wanted to provide financing and management advice to companies needing help. All they needed was a suitable opportunity.
When that opportunity came two years later, it gave birth to an entrepreneurial machine.
Since then, thousands of entrepreneurs from across the United States have joined the Winsupply organization to capitalize on The Spirit of Opportunity — the chance to risk your own money, gain equity and run your own wholesaling company to pursue the American Dream, with help from Winsupply. Through their own desire, drive and hard work, these entrepreneurs have been able to earn their own success.
What makes this work so well is a set of fundamentals — grounded in free enterprise capitalism — that you won’t find in any textbook on business or business management.
But there’s more to it than that.
This book explores the why and the how behind Winsupply’s higher calling to eliminate obstacles and provide support to help courageous, capable, hardworking entrepreneurs succeed.
