Launch Your Dream

Author: Dale Partridge Publisher: Thomas Nelson ISBN: 9780718098957

PICTURE THIS. It’s Monday morning and you’re stuck in a traffic crawl heading to work.

Or you’re dreading every minute spent in the daily sales meetings. Or you spend hours crunching numbers late into the night.

You’re dissatisfied and burnt out from all these work you call a job, wondering if this is the right career path for you.

If this is an all-too-familiar scene, Dale Partridge has some advice for those who are keen to make a career change and strike out on the path of self-employment and fulfilment instead.

Partridge is the founder of StartupCamp.com, a platform which provides a 12-month step-by-step online course teaching participants how to launch a successful business.

An entrepreneur who has experienced successes and failures in equal amounts, Partridge advises readers to ask themselves the right questions before embarking on entrepreneurship.

How do you determine your purpose, and how do you create a product that excites others, are some of the early questions one should take into consideration.

Assuming you’re ready to take the leap of turning your passion into a profession, Launch Your Dream is a 30-day programme which will take you nearer to realising your dreams.

The book is organised into bitesized chunks of easy-to-follow advice on how to build a start-up business.

Each chapter ends with a checklist of action points to help keep you on track in your mission.

Most of the advice provided in the book are common sense and grounded, such as adopting a rigorous work ethic is good.

That said, Launch Your Dream is especially useful for readers who want a quick introduction into the world of self-employment.

Just hang on to your day job while you work at realising your dreams with this book. – Shirley Ng
