Book of the month

If you’re bored of your 9-5 and thinking of setting up your own, this innovative book is soon going to become your favourite bedtime reading. The idea for the book was born when the authors contacted people for advice on how to start their own business. The response they received was so good that they realised this would be the perfect format for others in the same position. Fast forward and they have created a book full of gems from successful business people who have been there, done it and know what it takes to make a plan come to fruition.
Jam-packed with candid and inspiring short letters, true-life stories, words of wisdom and motivation from almost 100 movers and shakers, including companies such as Urban Coffee Company and Innocent Drinks, this is a highly engaging book that you can dip in and out of to get some brilliant ideas.
The tips and advice given varies wildly, although there are some common themes including: do what you love, surround yourself with good people, take care of customers and excel at marketing. The plethora of inside tips makes for an almost diary-like reading treat – you feel as thought you’re stealing ideas from those in the know!
