Description
Misadventures in Entrepreneuring® is the brainchild of Gayle Mann and Lucy-Rose Walker who were personally involved in the start-up, growth and eventual sale of Entrepreneurial Spark. They have experienced their own ‘misadventures’ as well as the many misadventures of the 4000+ entrepreneurs they have worked with along the way, most of which were entirely psychological.
It focuses on the psychology of entrepreneuring® and how crucial it is to getting in, and out, of many of the most common misadventures. Dispelling myths about the daily challenges entrepreneurs face, and providing reassurance and inspiration, Misadventures in Entrepreneuring® delivers support and guidance to entrepreneurs of all shapes and sizes through the authors’ story and those of many other entrepreneurs as they cope day to day.
If you feel like your business has taken over your life, if you love what you do but struggle to juggle all your priorities, if you sometimes forget what you dreamed of when you started – this book is for you.
This book takes a no holds barred look at the reality of being and entrepreneur and starting a business.

Are you looking to start your own business? Do you fancy the idea of being an entrepreneur? This book is a good starting point! Entrepreneurship is not a fancy movement, this is a hard work that looks easy from the outside. The contents definitely resonate with my experience and I liked the exercises suggested too.

This is a great book, and exactly what you need if you are looking for really relatable stories from entrepreneurs like you (rather than the 1% of entrepreneurs who can identify with Mark Zuckerberg…)! Plenty of good advice and exercises that can help unblock you in the trickiest of misadventures. I really loved reading this and will keep recommending it to any entrepreneurs I know.

Just what I needed – running your own business can be a lonely existence, but this book works as both a companion and advisor. Easy to consume and easy to put the lessons into action. A great read!

I found this book so easy to absorb. The writing style is conversational so it feels like there’s a real human behind it, but there are tools and techniques in there as well to help you deal with the real challenges. It was refreshingly honest as well, not trying to dress anything up or pretend that being an entrepreneur is all about hustle and glamour.
