With phrases such as "failure cannot live with persistance" and / or ideas like "invent the rules", Rachel Bridge presents a brilliant short stories' collection of people who one day woke up and decided that was it, that was the day they were paying a fair (or unfair) price for taking control of their own destinies. That's just the way you will learn how 40 successful brit companies, among those Bighams, Daily Bread, The Ice Box, Dating Direct, Green Baby, PJ Smothies, Reef One, The People Book, etc.were born and came to be... inspiring book, brilliantly written (summed up) and easily asimilated... get it and read it, satisfaction guaranteed! Actually, I cannot wait to receive her second book "My Big Idea"...

If you need inspiration or are just having a hard time of things in your bussiness then I can suggest picking this up. It really helps to know that other people, normal people have all been through it before and makes you carry on. It made me keep going and and as they say every little helps! No, seriously its o.k, just don't expect any advice on how to, more along the lines of don't give up!!

I love this book. I have read it about a million times and I still find it really inspiring. I have bought a copy for all my friends. It makes me think that one day I could start up a business and make it a big success too. I probably won't but it is nice to dream! I also really like Rachel Bridge's other book My Big Idea. It is in the same kind of format as this one but is more about where people got their ideas for their business from.

40 Chapters on successful entrepreneurs, 2/3 pages on each of their stories and what they do/how they did it/and some advice. Not a bad read, lacks depth, but then it says that when you buy the book. Very honest. Worth a read if you are interested in a lot of different areas of business. Many of the entreprenueurs covered are fairly unknown, which is also a positive as not much else is written about them.
Not as good as it could have been... February 1, 2007

The profiles were interesting to read, however every one of them lacked the depth and detail I was expecting. The author did not make a convincing argument bridging the period between the entrepreneur getting their big idea and how it came to fruition. It all seemed too easy, one minute they've got a great idea, the next they've got the funding and away they go. In the real world, it's a hard slog getting from A to B. More could have been written about the difficulties faced by these entrepreneurs in getting their business started up, and more about the problems they faced as they went from fledgling business to successful entrepreneur. It's not all cloud cuckoo land, you know!
