You will generate more income, discover new opportunities, sharpen your skills - and get the life you've always wanted.

Reviews

This book should be read by anyone who has ever dreamed of starting an entrepreneurial venture Clear, concise and forward-thinking, The 10% Entrepreneur dives deeper into the future of today's business world For 4 years, while working a full time job, I was also a 10% Entrepreneur. I didn't know the phrase then, I just knew I had more money, more fun and more opportunities than I'd ever had in my life. If any of those sound like things you want more of, read this book! Entrepreneurship is not one size fits all. It can take many shapes and forms. There's immense value to testing ideas or weaving entrepreneurial qualities into your life before taking the plunge. The 10% Entrepreneur will tell you how. McGinnis delivers a winning game-plan for assuming 10% more risk, more creativity and more (ad)venture in your everyday life for 100% more satisfaction. Entrepreneurship is a smart choice for everyone - and so is reading this book. In a shifting corporate landscape, entrepreneurship no longer has to mean all-or-nothing endeavors. Patrick McGinnis uses his own expertise as a "part-time entrepreneur" to illustrate a proven solution for you to become one, too. Expand reviews
