Book description

A no-nonsense, implementable handbook for taking part in the Entrepreneur Revolution

We are living in revolutionary times; times with an impact as significant and far-reaching as the previous Industrial Revolution was to the Agricultural Age. Technological shifts have allowed micro-businesses to compete with large corporations. Small business can now have a global footprint, can be structured in low tax environments, move products anywhere in the world, and access unprecedented levels of support.

Entrepreneur Revolution means taking the initiative to do something that you love, something that you’re good at, and something that will make you money. This masterclass in gaining an entrepreneurial mindset will show how to change the way you think, the way you network, and the way you make a living.

  • Includes new statistics, activities, case studies, and research
  • Takes a look at how the brain can affect the entrepreneurial mindset
  • Offers new ideas for entrepreneurs starting a new business
  • Helps you shake off old ideas and make a great, independent leap forward

This inspiring and practical book shows you how to break free from The Industrial Revolution mindset, quit working so hard, follow your dream—and make a fortune along the way.
