"fantastically motivating" (Eve, December 2006)

"…will help you take one small step at a time." (She, March 2008)  

Product Description

A percentage of royalties from the sale of this book will be donated to THE PRINCES TRUST (registered charity no 1079675)

“ The story of [Sahars] trip to New York and subsequent cravings for skinny lattes is the stuff of coffee shop legend.” - The Sunday Times

“[Sahar is] the Lawyer who put the cream in our coffee.” -The Guardian

“A business book charting her experience from the kitchen table to the boardroom table.”- The Financial Times

Coffee Republic has been a great success story and an inspirational role model for entrepreneurs in all business sectors. Being an entrepreneur can be a lonely position and books such as this illustrate not only the 'nuts and bolts' of entrepreneurialism, but also give invaluable access to the experiences of others. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Anyone Can Do It, April 19, 2004
By Warren Wickman (Sydney, NSW, Australia) - See all my reviews
I am a bubbing entrepreneur with a business plan, enthusiastic colleagues and little money. After seven months of trying with much encouragement from others and some financial commitments, I wish I had of picked this book up at the beginning of my search for funds. I would have done a few things differently. Every time I feel down I pick myself up before going to bed by picking up the book and rereading some chapters. The next day I am again ready to tackle the challenges ahead.

This book is a must for every entrepreneur, as well as people already in business looking for a fresh approach. Unlike others, it not just tells their story, it also shows how they did it, which is rare. Most books of this type just cover the big picture stuff which anyone can read in newspapers and magazines. It is very easy to read and difficult to put down. My first reading (on a flight) was in fact two readings, as I kept going back over earlier chapters.

5.0 out of 5 stars An inspirational guide for clueless entrepreneurs!, April 2, 2003
By Thei Zervaki "Thei" (New York, USA) - See all my reviews
Sarah describes the birth story of coffee chain "Coffee Republic" (see above). Her trip to NY, the cravings for skinny lattes and foamy cappuccinos, the idea, the awful coffee in the UK or rather the lack of it, the business plan and finally the first shop in South Molton street! Read this book and you will discover that passion, enthusiasm, gut feeling, good timing, support and hard work will eventually pay off! Sahar and her brother Bobby are both millionaires, only eight years after the first Coffee Republic bar appeared in the market.

4.0 out of 5 stars Feel the experience of setting up your own business,, July 30, 2006
Very Nice book about feeling the experience of setting up your own business. The Chapters in the book flow smoothly. You will never feel bored while reading the book. If you are buying this book thinking that you will start your own coffee republic after you finish reading it, then find another book as this book will not guide you to start a coffee shop business. The book basically, will give you a real life example of starting a business, I started a business and I can feel my self when I read the book, I even feel that I know Sahar and bobby Hashemi because you will live the experience they live. Especially the bootstrapping part!! I wish they release a 2nd book about what happened next in their business. I gave it a 4 stars because I really wished they added sample letters they used in their communication, how they approached suppliers for equipments and based on what they decided to buy their equipments and who helped them make the decisions.
