Description
Misadventures in Entrepreneuring® is the brainchild of Gayle Mann and Lucy-Rose Walker who were personally involved in the start-up, growth and eventual sale of Entrepreneurial Spark. They have experienced their own 'misadventures’ as well as the many misadventures of the 4000+ entrepreneurs they have worked with along the way, most of which were entirely psychological.
It focuses on the psychology of entrepreneuring® and how crucial it is to getting in, and out, of many of the most common misadventures. Dispelling myths about the daily challenges entrepreneurs face, and providing reassurance and inspiration, Misadventures in Entrepreneuring® delivers support and guidance to entrepreneurs of all shapes and sizes through the authors’ story and those of many other entrepreneurs as they cope day to day.
If you feel like your business has taken over your life, if you love what you do but struggle to juggle all your priorities, if you sometimes forget what you dreamed of when you started – this book is for you.

Are you looking to start your own business? Do you fancy the idea of being an entrepreneur? This book is a good starting point! Entrepreneurship is not a fancy movement, this is a hard work that looks easy from the outside. The contents definitely resonate with my experience and I liked the exercises suggested too.

I feel I should begin this review by clarifying what this book and what is is not, because the title is a bit ambiguous. This book offers more tips in reframing your thought processes than practical tips for a business. If you're looking for tips to make yourself more marketable, more recession-proof or more financially effective, you won''t find them here. But you will find inspiration and a feeling of emotional support. This book is like listening to a friend offer you advice to help you become more resilient. It's simple and conversational, rather than practical and groundbreaking. I consider this a good thing when running your own business because days are sometimes hectic and draining and a light read can be appreciated. In my opinion, this book is for entrepreneurs just starting out. If you've been doing it for a while, you'll likely not find much here that you haven't already stumbled upon. Having said all that, it is an easy read and you get a feeling the authors are truly cheering for you. And who doesn't appreciate a little cheering on once in a while?
