Description
There's never been a better time, or a more urgent time, to start doing the things you want to do.
Perhaps you feel your career is stuck in a rut - or maybe you're in the wrong job altogether. Or maybe you have a great business idea but something is stopping you from actually getting started. You may already be running a business but struggling to get to it to where you want it to be. Or perhaps you just want to be more successful in general - without knowing exactly what your vision of success is - yet!
If you want to do something but secretly fear you're never going to do it, whatever that might be, then this will help you.
Stop Talking, Start Doing is a short, clear and cleverly illustrated book that will inspire you to take action. Whatever you want to achieve, this is the kick in the pants you need to get to where you truly want to be.
It's great that you know you can do more, but just thinking about it, won't make it happen. It's doing that makes the difference. DO IT. If you've got something you want to do... now is a good time to start.

A graduate of The London School of Economics, Sháá Wasmund's entrepreneurial career had an unusual start. At 22 she won a competition to interview Super Middleweight boxing champ Chris Eubank and ended up helping to promote his next fight to a sell-out 48,000 live crowd and an 18 million TV audience. Sháá remains an ardent boxing fan.
Shortly after she set up her own PR and marketing company and won the then relatively unknown vacuum cleaner company Dyson as one of her first clients. Working alongside Sir James Dyson helping to establish Dyson as a global brand taught Sháá more about business than any MBA. To this day, Sháá credits James as being one her biggest sources of inspiration.
