The Advantage for Entrepreneurs

About this ebook
The world of work is changing rapidly now with many people seeing the opportunity to start their own business as a way of creating another source of income, as an alternative to employment which is perhaps no longer secure or perhaps simply wanting more work-life balance. And of course many simply have a great idea and want to turn this into a business. Whatever your reason may be, today’s entrepreneurs need to tap into a range of skills and talents.
No job is secure any more and we are all going to be chopping and changing our work and how we do it throughout our lives. To get ahead, you need soft skills. To stay ahead you need The Advantage.
This mini e-book is about the Advantage that entrepreneurial skills can provide. And those skills are at your fingertips and are in you. You need adaptability, critical thinking, empathy, integrity, being proactive, optimism and resilience.
