Employee to Entrepreneur [Paperback]

Suzanne Mulvehill (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: March 3, 2003

Enthusiastic entrepreneurs will start more than one million new businesses within the next year, joining the 16 million self-employed business owners in the United States. Most entrepreneurs will rely on their experience, business plans and financial backing to succeed, yet 50 percent will fail within the first three years. Why? A business plan, experience and funding is not enough. Personal growth must also take place to successfully transition into entrepreneurship.

Entrepreneurs have to deal with the most difficult obstacle of all, themselves. Fears, frustrations, beliefs and an array of emotions will flood an entrepreneur before they’ve even made their first dollar. Many will return to what they know, a job, rather than venture further into the unknown.

Employee to Entrepreneur prepares entrepreneurs for the journey into the unknown. It provides tools to deal with uncomfortable feelings, to challenge old beliefs and expand beyond prior limits. For this is where the secret of success lies. Personal growth will transcend into business success.

Employee to Entrepreneur is for people who are willing to acknowledge the desires of their heart, to see what it feels like and means to connect with the deepest part of themselves. Dreams that were held dormant come to life and challenges that were once limiting are overcome. Learn how others found this path, how they nurture it and how they live their lives as a result of it. Learn how you can walk on this path too.

This book is an invaluable tool for anyone who has ever even dared to dream of leaving corporate life to become an entrepeneur. The practical "how-to" advice about all the pieces of the puzzle is something that I have not seen elsewhere. I highly recommend it! Angela Love, Executive Coach

This review is from: Employee to Entrepreneur (Paperback)

I bought this book back in late 2004 - when I realized I could no longer work for corporate america. I wrote down short/mid/long range goals and launched my entrepreneurial journey. This book has and still is a roadmap for dealing with the many emotional challenges I've experienced along the way. I launched my business in spring 2005 while working full-time and left corporate america in spring 2006. To this day, I still consult Suzanne's book for advice. I'm so sorry it took me this long to acknowlege this author's great book.

The bottom line: When I have a doubt (ie., a lingering, negative thought) about my business I go to the chapter dealing with the root of the thought. After reading the chapter and thinking through the excercise, I always feel grounded and positive when I put the book down. I thank God for Suzanne and her work in writing such a great book.

I've recommended this book to three other entrepreneurs this past week. All three are dealing with the same emotional challenges I faced my first year in business.

5.0 out of 5 stars THIS BOOK IS EXCELLENT, August 7, 2003

By

This review is from: Employee to Entrepreneur (Paperback)

I have read many books on how to make the transition into entrepreneurship and THIS BOOK WAS ALL I NEEDED. The author is down-to-earth and realistic. She uses "real person" examples and problems, things that entrepreneurs will relate to. The exercises allow you to see things differently about your life and dreams, more than any other book I have read. This book is excellent!
