American Entrepreneur: An Autobiography follows the amazing life of Bill Joiner, a true self-made businessman in the best American tradition.
From wild early days in Texas to a life of service to God and his church, Joiner blazes his own path through hunting, sports, adventure and his love of life.
Joiner’s say-yes, can-do attitude leads to adventures across the United States, Japan and Europe. He creates businesses from home construction to insurance to oil, and each contributes lessons through the ups and downs of fortune as he develops his personal moral compass.
Throughout all, God’s love and guidance keep him on a path of service, just as his love for his own children is rewarded through his pride in their successes.

This book gives you insight into the life of Bill Joiner. He talks about all of his adventures all over the world. No project was to big or small for him. His love for the church and God can proudly be seen in all aspects of every project he undertook.
He talks about all of his ups and downs in life, what motivated him and what drove him to become a very successful businessman.
This is an easy read and would be a great book if you are interested in the life of others.
This is a fast pace little book about the life of a man who has had many jobs, travelled all over the world, and done just about everything one person could do in a lifetime. I am still trying to figure out how this was possible at 66 years of age when the book ends. Very entertaining!
Wanted to get this for my business-major son. While I did not find it to particularly help with becoming a businessman or to even really follow a storyline, it was easy to read and was like listening to my dad sit and tell stories.

Ft. Knox, Kentucky, is my birthplace. It's also the home of the U.S. Gold Reserves, so it's a crying shame that I left there without any.
Other than summer jobs as a teenager, I have always been in business for myself. I have owned businesses that included: residential and commercial construction; brokering and trading commodities; owning and operating multiple insurance agencies; horse breeding, syndicating, training and racing; dog breeding and field trialing; owning and operating multiple gyms; owning and operating oil wells; brokering, researching title and consulting (regarding the buying and selling of oil and gas properties); as well as brokering and facilitating international fuel purchases.
I have traveled extensively outside the continental United States including Switzerland, France, Germany, Japan, Mexico, Belize, Caribbean Islands, Alaska and Hawaii.
I am happily married with four adult children, each successful in their own right.
My wife and I served in the ministry by founding, building and operating a children's home.
I authored my first book, American Entrepreneur: An Autobiography, at the urging of family and friends. My second book is, Life Begins at Sunrise: An Inspiring Story of Love, God, Bird Dogs, Walking Horses and Field Trials. I have just completed my third book, The Legend of Jake Jackson: The Last of the Great Gunfighters and Comanche Warriors.
While I had written numerous sports articles for local newspapers, I didn't think I had the patience to write a book. I found that the more I wrote, the more I like it.
