Editorial Reviews
Review
“Full of fresh insights and great examples, Jonathan Moules’ book really stands out among the countless books written for entrepreneurs. I highly recommend it to anyone who is serious about starting a business.” (Sahar Hashemi OBE, founder of Coffee Republic and Skinny Candy, and bestselling author of ‘Anyone Can Do It’)
“Moules’s book is an interesting collection of stories from some of the most prominent and successful entrepreneurs the UK has to offer..There is much to be gained from reading about other people’s crises and errors, and their imaginative methods for resolving them. Though this is not a reference book, it contains nuggets of advice and practical information that most people building a business would be grateful to hear.” (
