Résumé

Every year thousands of hopeful entrepreneurs decide to take the plunge. Many fail but equally many go on to achieve great success and huge profits.

So what is it that marks the line between success and failure? Why is it that some race ahead to glory whilst others fall at the first hurdle?

In this fascinating new book, 40 successful entrepreneurs explain how they managed to defy the odds and turn their dreams into reality. They tell how they decided what to do, how they got started, how they found the money they needed and how they went about it. But they also reveal how they had doubts, made stupid mistakes and encountered overwhelming frustrations along the way.

Gutsy, inspiring and life affirming...
if you have ever dreamt of starting up a business of your own, this book is for you.
