Kickstart your dream business and see it through to success with actionable advice and inspirational stories from entrepreneur, investor, YouTuber, and founder of HelpBnk Simon Squibb
From early on, we are taught that there's only one path to getting ahead: do well at school, get a certain kind of job, and avoid failure at all costs. We're so busy trying to follow these rules that we never stop and ask ourselves: What's my purpose? Is my 9-5 really what I want to do? What kind of job or business do I really want to pursue? Do I have the power to make it happen? With Simon Squibb's incisive new book, you can make it happen. Simon Squibb is on a mission to help young entrepreneurs discover their passion and start their business. Drawing on the hard-won life lessons from Squibb's years in the business world and his own personal life--from facing homelessness as a teenager to selling a multi-million pound business--What's Your Dream? is the step-by-step guide to turn your dream venture into a reality. Squibb begins by providing a definition of a dream and continues on to introduce readers to a set of tools to build confidence and persevere through the barriers that stand in the way. Squibb will dissect the common pitfalls that block the way--being trapped by aspirations that aren't true dreams, falling prey to popular myths that stop us from achieving our goals, giving into the fear that prevents us from taking action--and share the secrets to overcome them. Young entreprenuers will glean useful business insight, such as:- how to assess risk level, understanding not to take risks indiscriminately but to take them well
- knowing how and when to quit so you can pivot and start again
- how to create a community of super fans who will purchase and advocate for all of your products
- how to grow your customers, and more
Achieving wealth shouldn't mean sacrificing your dreams and passions. This book can show you how.
