Product Description

Review
'If you want tips for the top, these books are for you - just follow the chapters through from strategic thinking to the psychology of success. Inspirational stuff.' The Independent

Product Description
Do you often wonder how the most innovative entrepreneurs made it to where they are today? Would you like to know how they did it - and what it cost? Rachelle Thackray gives the accounts, in their own words, of leading entrepreneurs - what drove them to create businesses and what helped them. It follows the stories of entrepreneurs as they tell what drove them to set up the businesses they did, and what helped them trust in their own ideas. It covers a variety of sectors - retail, finance, technology, design and consultancy.

By A Customer
It would be hard to find someone better qualified for a book about successful business practise than Rachelle Thackray. Anyone who has followed her columns in the Independent Newspaper over the last four years - Me and My Partner, The Digerati, My Biggest Mistake - will be familiar with the breadth of the interviewees she has covered, from the music business to deep sea salvage, from hotel designing to ethical farming. She clearly has the ability to not only ask the crucial question but formulate the replies into a priceless objective wisdom. Thoroughly recommended for all prospective or seasoned entrepeneurs, whether to study in one gulp or to pick up intermitently for bite-sized quotes and thoughts. If the book teaches anything, it is that in business you stop learning at your peril.

Helpful and handy, the things I've learnt from reading this book cannot be adequately expressed in a short review. However, the real value from this book - which in my case has already paid for itself many many times over - is in NOT making the schoolboy errors these entrepreneurs have made. Essential viewing for anyone even toying with the idea of setting up a business.
