In 1976, after 15 years in "Corporate America," Mr. Kring chaired a private industry committee to determine future standards and forecast new methods for hydrocarbon exploration.  At that time he made the correlation that our nation's greatest energy resource was its entrepreneurial energy, not hydrocarbon, nuclear, solar, wind or water.  Consequently, he started an independent research and consulting practice in entrepreneurial education for emerging companies to minimize the loss of national resource that occurs when companies go out of business before adding positive energy of employment and tax contributions to the economic mainstream.  During this process, he defined the methodology to have emerging companies grow faster and stronger with significantly less expenditure of startup capital.  The methodology is called business incubation.  Mr. Kring "is recognized by the National Business Incubation Association as an industry leader and pioneer in business incubation" and is credited with having the first emerging business development practice in the United States.

  Authored articles, lectures, workshops and seminars on small business incubators, entrepreneurial development and entrepreneurship for associations, business, civic, educational groups and students - third grade to post graduate, '77 to present, including the dissertation "Entrepreneurship Can be Taught" for a doctoral program in entrepreneurial education. Mr. Kring uses the successes of his client companies - which have won virtually every award for growth in the city of Houston, some nationally and internationally - as proof of his theories and is considered a leading expert in self-sufficient public and private sector business incubation programs as economic development tools for both job creation and wealth generation. (See Services Cooperative Association.) Mr. Kring is frequently called upon as the keynote speaker for educational groups concerned with entrepreneurship education, entrepreneurial development and emerging business assistance as a means of economic development and is the most tenured owner/operator/manager of a business incubator in the National Business Incubation Association. He has been called upon as an economic development consultant, globally, in projects ranging from hiring and training of executives and staff to project conception, planning and implementation. Look for the books "Extraordinary Attention to Clients" and "Working with Gifted People."
  
  
  A few benchmark accomplishments:
  Demonstrated to academia that 1.) entrepreneurship could be taught and 2.) the most capable teachers were the successful entrepreneurs from within their own communities who had boot-strapped their ventures.
  Demonstrated to the government that 1.) women were starting businesses at a faster rate than men and 2.) were seeking the "hand up" and a "level playing field" and not the "hand out" or "charity."
  Demonstrated to the incubation industry that 1.) small business incubators could be self-funded and remain self-sustaining entirely without public funding, grants, gifts, contributions or donations and 2.) significantly accelerated business growth by making a variety of resources, assistance and experts conveniently available from within one environment.
  
  Notable quotes:
  "Those who truly serve, lead."
  "Entrepreneurship is color blind."
  "You can't teach what you don't know."
  "Never confuse education with intellect."
  "Charity is the bane of entrepreneurship."
  "Be short on promises and long on delivery."
  "Business incubators accelerate business growth."
  "Building a successful business is not a spectator sport."
  "There are no glass ceilings in Entrepreneurial America."
  "Accountability extends well beyond financial statements."
  "Our greatest energy resource is our entrepreneurial energy."
  "Creating change is vastly more rewarding than accepting it."
  "Some windows of opportunity  are but brief moments in time."
  "Business success is having fun, making money and doing good."
  "The best way to advance your career is to manage your career."
  "When all the world leaders are women, there will be no more wars."
  "Do what you love and let your passion show in the result you produce."
  "A bird in the bank account is worth more than two in the business plan."
  "Those who are employed by the  bureaucracy comprise the bureaucracy."
  "Too much government is vastly more harmful than too little government."
  "Action can only be achieved when you allow your faith to overcome your fear."
  "When we focus on "what's not," we lose all possibility of creating "what can be."
  "Entrepreneurship is an experiential discipline. To teach it, you must be able to do it."
  "Business incubators provide entrepreneurial engineers to build successful businesses."
  "The art of entrepreneurship continually befuddles the science of business administration."
  "When you are skilled, those who buy on price are not your market. Those who buy on results are."
  "Some people continually overcome life's difficulties while others are continually overcome by them."
  "The health  of our  free enterprise system  is determined  by the  vitality of  our emerging businesses."
  "There is no force so powerful as a group of like-minded women who are bonded in common purpose."
  "It is regrettable when our government uses our tax dollars to knowingly compete with our businesses."
  "Economic development is where someone comes and spends money with you rather than someone else."
  "You don't learn to ride a bicycle by reading a book - you learn to ride a bicycle by getting on the bicycle."
  "The essence of entrepreneurship is to find a niche, make sales, manage to profits and repeat the process."
  "Women process information, assess risk, utilize support systems and demonstrate team playing skills uniquely."
  "Coming up with new ideas is the easy part. Making them work is the hard part and that's where business incubators excel."
  "Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach. Those who can't teach, teach teachers. Those who can't teach teachers, teach business plans."
  "Being happy is a choice. Being successful is a choice. Being honest, diligent and returning something to your community are not choices. They are responsibilities."
  "There are those who will attempt to convince you that you must learn everything there is to know about electricity before you can successfully operate a light switch. Their mantra is 'business plan.' "
  "An effective business incubator provides the resources, environment and methodology to accelerate business growth and creates more resources than it consumes."
  "More than anything else when working with early stage entrepreneurs, is to keep them mindful of things to be done, knowledgeable of how to do them, and motivated to get them completed."
  "There exists within some people an inherent quality; an entrepreneurial exponent. With it, the likelihood of business success is dramatically increased. Without it, all the government funded small business development resources in the world won't yield a successful business."
  "To be successful in your venture, no matter the nature of the venture, you must first believe in yourself and your vision. When you can believe in yourself, you can trust yourself. When you can trust yourself, you can trust other people. When you can trust other people, you open up an entirely new resource mix."
