Don’t let bosses stifle your aspirations and your income. Be your own boss with this very practical, unique and funny self help guide‘I’ve found a rare treat – a business book that’s very,very funny and valuable too’ Dave Sumner-Smith; Programme Director, Home Business Network Classic comedy, biting satire and a really practical, useful guide to working for yourself. All in this revised, second edition of ‘Stripping for Freedom’. Serena Williams was supreme at Wimbledon. Serena and her sister Venus work very hard on only the right things. They have done since tiny children and for most of their lives had very little and certainly no privileges. Yet they were always working towards fantastic success and achievements. Just like most successful entrepreneurs they were willing to strip everything down to the bare essentials so that they could control their own destiny and get their rewards. There’s never been a better time to go it alone, or with friends or family, in your own enterprise. ‘Stripping for Freedom’ is the title of an amusing, satirical, but very practical, new book. The ‘freedom’ is from escaping your job to work for yourself. The ’stripping’ refers to the bare essentials of money, lifestyle, know how and actions you’ll need to get started, survive and thrive. And you don’t need to take your clothes off – unless, of course, you want to! Many proven, practical tips for start up are packaged into a comic, satirical, fictional expose of how and why the government has failed to support enterprise in the UK. There’s even a list of free websites that will give you all the additional know how to start your own business. Tony Robinson OBE and Clare Francis, entrepreneurs themselves who have helped hundreds start their own businesses, have written this ‘fun to read’ book for all those who get bored with endless checklists, business guru speak and celebrity ‘you can be just like me’ self improvement texts. This book brings to life what you need to do and how you can go about doing it and gives details of all the free websites you can use to help you start your business. Invaluable. Nevertheless the authors hope that ‘Stripping for Freedom’ will become an ‘A’ Level History and Economics required text now that the Cameron – Clegg ‘Made in Heaven’ Coalition is in place. Britain now has the certainty of a sleaze free, equal society where the corporate and city fat cats mass behind their leader to do voluntary work for urban regeneration and everything green which embraces diversity- like… not. But more people than ever will want to read ‘Stripping for Freedom’ to remind themselves why the UK administration should never tread that path again – and because with £6 billion cuts there will be no jobs so everyone under 25 and older than 45 will have to work for themselves in their own business. ‘Stripping for Freedom’ purports to be a 40 day investigative journey by a Canadian fashionista and celebrity journalist, Leonora Soculithertz (So-cool-it-hurts). It describes what she learns from interviewing a curious mix of ‘movers and shakers’ in sunny Scarborough and foggy London. So, as well as helping ‘go it aloners’ with the start up know how to succeed, Ms Soculitherz also finds time to lay bare the arrogance, duplicity and excess of fat cats and politicians. No matter who you voted for in the recent election you will enjoy learning how to spot the telltale signs of government and corporate incompetence. You’ll then be able to add your voice to her calls for reform in the Westminster village and throughout the square mile. The reclusive, and imaginary, Soculitherz already has many thousands of fans as proven by the visitors and followers on her myspace , twitter and youtube sites. With 5 million people in the UK currently holding down a job whilst spending their spare time developing their own enterprise, there is no shortage of readers who want to say goodbye to their boss and go it alone. Instead of the usual, boring checklists this entertaining story brings to life plenty of useable advice to earn a living from working for yourself. It’s a good read even if you don’t want to escape the rat race to be your own boss. Indeed, many people, now seen smiling knowingly, have bought and read the book just for its satire. The humorous style is in keeping with, and dedicated to, the writing of the Independent columnist and author, Miles Kington, who died last year. STOP PRESS: See Nord Baldrick’s video demo of 3 free, alternative covers for ‘Stripping for Freedom’. Soculitherz says ‘ It is either very brave or very foolhardy, for anyone to start their own business, or live in or visit the UK, without reading first the outstanding ‘Stripping for Freedom.”. |
