What it is

You've thought about it long enough. Now here's exactly how to do it. Most people don't fail at starting a business - they never start at all. They overthink, talk themselves out of it, and let the fear of what might go wrong grow bigger than the thing itself. Simon Squibb has spent thirty-five years helping people get past it.

In this audiobook, he breaks it all down into a ten-step system that takes you from "I want to do something" to running a business of your own.

You'll learn how to find a viable idea, prepare financially, launch small and cheap, get your first customers, sell with confidence, build a brand, and scale when the time is right - with real-world insights from the founders behind Gymshark, Itsu, and more.

No matter where you are in your journey, it's not too late to become your own boss. Start here.
