Product Description

Sir Richard Branson

"Brilliantly captures the challenge of turning a big idea into a successful
business. Essential reading for every budding
entrepreneur."


Review

"every entrepreneur needs a big idea and rachel bridge's inspiring second book brilliantly captures the challenge, frustration and excitement of turning a big idea into a successful business. essential reading for every budding entrepreneur."

sir richard branson

“rather than dredging up the usual throng of software and banking kingpins, the individuals interviewed have taken rather more unusual routes to financial reward…the book advises, right from the start, that having a good idea can often be as simple and finding a solution to something you find annoying, then branding or reworking it.”

easyjet

“throws light on the sort of person it takes to succeed as an entrepreneur.”

management today

“reveals the inspiration and the story behind the start of the business.”

comms dealer

“serves as a quiet reminder that with enough determination, a little imagination and a spot of good luck, anything is possible.”

quality world

“an insight into innovative thought processes.”

one step

“explains where to find the most promising business ideas and crucially, how to determine if they will sell.”

personal success

“inspirational…a perfect read when you need a lift on a tough day.”

north west london chamber news

“offers a feel good factor!”

lighting & sound international

“this volume presents revised and updated versions of 30 of her “how i made it” columns. these columns tell the personal success stories of such risk-takers as judy cramer.”

5.0 out of 5 stars Proves that anyone can do it!, 1 Sep 2006
By Jodie (London) - See all my reviews
Essential reading for anyone who wants to be an entrepreneur but worries that they haven't got the 'spark' or inspiration to really set the world alight. This book shows how loads of normal people made their dreams come true by finding inspiration from everyday life and had the strength and determination to turn it into reality. The really inspiring message from this book is that anyone can do it if they really put their mind to it. And reading about what inspired other people will get you thinking it that way too, so you will find yourself bursting with ideas rather than stuck thinking 'I'd love to run my own business but I just don't know what to do.' Buy this for anyone who wants to break out of the rat race!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great insights and inspiration for any would be entrepreneur, 13 Feb 2007
By Duncan C (London) - See all my reviews
I really loved this book and totally disagree with Avid Reader's comments. Was he even reading the same book? He complains that the author Rachel Bridge has glossed over the entrepreneurs challenges and problems but in fact every chapter is full of them. They are what make the stories so real. She tells the entrepreneurs stories in a very balanced way without hype or exageration with all the highs and lows laid bare and I think including any more detail would be tedious to read. Every one of these stories are brilliantly inspiring and I can't recommend it highly enough for any would be entrepreneur

5.0 out of 5 stars Informative and inspiring, 14 Feb 2007
By Ms. E. Jones "Emma Jones" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I am cynical when it comes to business books, finding them too big and cumbersome but Rachel Bridge has entered the market with something new and refreshing.

I like her writing style and the case studies in both books are easily digestible. This is a "certainly recommend" to anyone who is thinking of starting a business or has ambitions for their own company growth.

Good job, Rachel!
