Proves that anyone can do it!,
By Jodie (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: My Big Idea: 30 Successful Entrepreneurs Reveal How They Found Inspiration (Hardcover)
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!

Great insights and inspiration for any would be entrepreneur,
By Duncan C (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: My Big Idea: 30 Successful Entrepreneurs Reveal How They Found Inspiration (Hardcover)
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

Informative and inspiring,

This review is from: My Big Idea: 30 Successful Entrepreneurs Reveal How They Found Inspiration (Hardcover)
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!
