By Danny Bailey and Andrew Blackman

Jacket text

Do you want to leave your 9-5?
Do you want to be your own boss?
Are you an entrepreneur?

Dear Entrepreneur is an unmissable collection of candid and inspiring letters from business founders who have been there and done it or who are building successful businesses right now.

However far along on your business adventure you may be, these letters are the perfect companion. Packed with must-read words of movers and shakers, they have been written by those who have been where you are and know what it will take to succeed.

“Not for one second has any of us regretted the moment we set up Innocent full time. If you’re thinking of setting up your own business, we couldn’t recommend it highly enough.”
– Richard Reed, Innocent Drinks.

He is a very keen sailor and football spectator.
