Chris Robson Libri

No-one prepares you for the true experience of being an entrepreneur—the emotional rollercoaster of pursuing ambitions and fortunes. In this insightful work, Chris Robson reveals what other business books overlook. This isn’t about crafting business plans or selecting ideas; it delves into the emotional challenges entrepreneurs face: the sacrifices made, the difficulty of choosing the right partners, the weight of uncertainty and potential failure, the exhilarating highs of success, and the complexities of building and motivating a team. It emphasizes the importance of embracing the journey, not just the destination, to thrive as an entrepreneur. Robson also includes candid stories from renowned entrepreneurs like Bill Gross, Roland Rudd, Jo Fairley, Nick Wheeler, and William Reeve, sharing their personal experiences and the realities they faced in pursuing their dreams, whether bitter, sweet, or a mix of both. Praise for the book highlights its raw honesty and engaging narrative, with one reviewer noting it’s “more like an outright thriller than a business book,” while another commends Robson for mapping the essence of successful entrepreneurs in an entertaining way. This book is essential for anyone seeking insight into the entrepreneurial mindset.
