Sean is convinced that what can be learned from Ireland’s microcosm of entrepreneurial endeavour can be applied anywhere in the world.
Once you open this book, you will find yourself in the company of many great heroes of Irish business. Some run companies whose brands are household names while others are less well known but equally inspiring.
Honest and insightful, it is packed full of great advice and real-life insights, shared by the entrepreneurs themselves, about their experience from start-up to success.
You will learn about their backgrounds, how they came up with their ‘killer’ business idea and how they developed a knack for turning obstacles into opportunities.
While they have enjoyed the sweet taste of victory, all, without exception, have known times of bitter defeat.
What is most apparent from all these stories is that – regardless of age, gender, financial or educational background, we all have within us the ability to achieve whatever we set our minds to.
Sean is also convinced that what can be learned from Ireland’s microcosm of entrepreneurial endeavour can be applied anywhere in the world.
