I worked for Frog Design for seven years which is a leading product design and innovation strategy firm. Most recently I’ve been working for an architectural design firm called NBBJ. I am a passionate marketer and that’s also the reason why I wrote this book based on my experiences in that field.I’m a business person, like I said I’ve been in business for 20 years, and at some point I’ve realized that I’m also an unapologetic romantic. I believe we need more romance in our life and I believe we can find it and create it in and do all that through business. The romance I am talking about is notion experiences where your heart beats faster and you have adrenaline rushes, and moments in which we fall in love with everything. I believe it’s very important that we romanticize business and be enchanted because I believe we are facing a great disenchantment. So my book is making a case for more romance in business within the framework of business and then proposes these specific rules of enchantment that everyone can use to make their life at work more meaningful.” – Tim LeberechtFor a detailed summary of The Business Romantic according to Tim Leberecht CLICK HERERelated Books:Zero To One by Peter Thiel and Blake MastersThe Happiness of Pursuit by Chris GuillebeauMemoirs of Normalcy by Joleene MoodyFor more advice, tips, and stories on entrepreneurship, join our community on Facebook and Twitter.

So this was kind of the inspiration behind the book. A lot of books are aimed at startups and they go down the route of nail it, scale it, and sale it but I know that most of the people that I work with start a business because they want to work at something that they love for the rest of their lives. So this book is aimed at people who want to create a business that’s going to give them and their families a great lifestyle and not just a great lifestyle but profit too. It’s about hopes and dreams and helping those people make those come true.” – Ann HawkinsFor a detailed summary of New Business: Next Steps according to Ann Hawkins CLICK HERERelated Books:The Startup Survival System by Kurt WonThe Pop Up Paradigm by Melissa GonzalezStartupland by Mikkel SvaneFor more advice, tips, and stories on entrepreneurship, join our community on Facebook and Twitter.
