PART 1.ABOUT ME AS AN ENTREPRENEUR

• 1. My entrepreneurial role
• 2. My personal effectiveness
• 3. My public impact
• 4. My face-to-face impact

Do you want to own your own business? Become an entrepreneur? In this section, we describe the many alternative roles as self-employed and/or entrepreneur: why and how to learn from practice before possibly taking on the harder and more ambitious tasks.

We also look at how entrepreneurs can tackle the huge workload and a high risk of stress and health problems. It is all about efficiency – ‘work smart, not hard’, as one might say. Or at least smart if hard.

But how do you do that?

In the third chapter, we move on to study aspects of your ability to make a personal impact and break through when it really matters. People who work in large, well-renowned companies do not always have a big personal impact – they work well within the shelter of a powerful and well-known organization which can sometimes make the impact for them. But in start-ups you often need to get noticed and force your will through, even though your business is small and perhaps rather rickety. So how do you make an impact in everything from sales meetings and negotiations to public speeches, media interviews, on social media and more? We share some practical tips that can help you with this.
