Synopsis

Many people dream of starting a business but it is a special kind of person that takes that leap of faith to pursue the dream. Are you that person? A Journey into Business is a book full of practical tips gained from Kate Wilde's many years' experience of advising people new to business. What makes this book so special and different is that it includes quotes, advice and tips from those who have been there and experienced it first hand, people who have been inspired by Kate and gone on to start and grow successful businesses. Starting a business is like setting out on a journey, the better you prepare, the more likely you are to reach your destination. Along the way you will find all kinds of things thrown in your path to distract and challenge you, but it's how you handle these challenges that determine whether or not you will succeed. If you are at the beginning of your 'journey into business' this book will provide you with a greater understanding of the more practical issues you will need to consider. For many people the journey begins with a great idea but without knowing how to take things forward. The next stage is often the sudden realisation that there is so much to learn and this can seem overwhelming. If you get past this and form a plan you will begin to see much more clearly how it will all fit together and then it's up to you to make it happen. This book is designed to guide you through the early stages of starting a business, to teach you the lessons of those who have walked the path before you, and to be your companion along the way. Enjoy your journey.

About the Author:

'To inspire and motivate people to start, grow and succeed in business' is her mission and with this comes a real passion for helping people to make their dreams a reality. Having gained a wealth of hands-on experience running a small business, together with academic study as a mature student, Kate felt that she was in a perfect position to support other business owners to start and grow their business. Over the past twelve years Kate has earned a high level of credibility and respect not only with the many businesses that she has worked with but with other business professionals too. Kate has received recognition for her work through being presented with a special IBA (Institute of Business Advisers) award for 'innovative use of advisory skills' in 2006 and in 2008 she was awarded 'Best Business Supporter' by Enterprising Women. In 2011 she was appointed as one of 50 enterprising women in the UK who are working alongside women and girls to encourage them to consider, starting and growing businesses. Kate is a regular columnist for the Eastern Daily Press business pages which gave her a real taste for writing which has motivated her to writing her first book. Based close to the beautiful Norfolk Broads National Park and surrounded by 70 miles of coastline Kate doesn't have to travel far from her home in Norwich to find time and space to think, plan and to find inspiration to share with others.
