You were born to be an entrepreneur. You were taught to be an employee. Aspiring entrepreneurs are instinctively driven to be the master of their own fate and to explore the limits of their potential. But most hear two conflicting voices in their heads: an optimistic voice telling them all the reasons they should start a business, and a second voice-one that fears uncertainty-telling them all the reasons they should remain someone else''s employee. Millions of future business owners feel trapped by those voices-like they are meant for something more but are stuck where they are. By blending history with psychology, Boss Brain offers a timely yet timeless system that:Explains the hardwired psychology behind why most people feel they were meant to be entrepreneurs.Exposes the self-deceptions and psychological pitfalls that trap aspiring entrepreneurs in traditional employment. Empowers readers with the skills to tap into their innate entrepreneurial instincts. Enables future entrepreneurs of every age to overcome the physical and mental barriers that stand between them and self-employment.Based on proven scientific research, Boss Brain masterfully traces the spirit and psychology of entrepreneurship through a sweeping arc of history. Using stories that skip across time-from the height of the Roman Empire to the moon landing- it empowers aspiring entrepreneurs with a detailed system to overcome the fear of uncertainty, escape the cage of mediocrity, and never be an employee again... that''s the real American Dream.

Don't catch a leopard by the tail, but if you do, don't let it go - Ethiopian ProverbAuthor Sam McManus has collated 15-years' worth of adventure travel writing in Ethiopia, Japan, Bolivia, Egypt, Kyrgyzstan, Iran, Mongolia, Lebanon, Oman & Costa Rica in this collection of travel stories, which revolve around a central solo journey exploring the mountains of Ethiopia over a three-month period in 2015, which led to the founding of sustainable adventure travel company YellowWood Adventures.The most prized form of Ethiopian Amharic prose and poetry, loosely translated as 'wax and gold' ሰምና ወርቅ [sam-enna warq], is meticulously comprised with a focus on the duality of its meanings. The surface meaning, the wax, must be stripped away to reveal the hidden core of gold underneath. Ethiopia as a country also encourages you to look deeper within yourself, to fully understand and appreciate a deeply rich spiritual significance, that often resonates beneath simple or plain exteriors.McManus grew up in the countryside of Kent in the UK until he walked out one midsummer morning into a lifetime of travel and adventure. Travel and books: these two passions have fuelled journeys to over 60 countries whilst living on four continents. He has always favoured the road less travelled: whilst living in Japan he took his tent and surfboard and spent three months island-hopping down the 1100km of Ryukyu archipelago; in the Amazon rainforest he spent two weeks with an Indian guide carrying only a machete, fishhooks, salt, sugar and cocoa leaves, learning to live off the land.Be it the highest plateau in Africa, ice-climbing in the Tian Shan Mountains or exploring the lost assassins' castles in the Alborz Mountains of Iran; a veritable mountain of banana sandwiches, history books, novels, travel writings and biographies always accompany these adventures, and wherever possible a horse or two. This is pure travel writing: "Ethiopia can be difficult, prickly, cutting, ruthless, unforgiving, infuriating, stark, confused and complex. Yet, like a densely constructed novel exposing the fundamental contradictions of human nature, or, say, the bright plumage of a flowering cactus, when her treasures are revealed, they are all the more exceptional for the contrasts they manifest. Rarely do I open a book or read a travel article on Ethiopia that does not include the famous line from 18th century historian Edward Gibbon's masterwork The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire: "Encompassed on all sides by the enemies of their religion, the Ethiopians slept near a thousand years, forgetful of the world by whom they were forgotten." It still perfectly encapsulates what makes this land so unique, so much from ancient times still remaining.Although the modern world now has a stable foothold in the cities of Ethiopia, when one ventures out to the interior, this thin veneer rapidly falls away, unveiling the unchanged soul of the nation. One memory illustrates this perfectly: A man and his young son were ploughing a terraced wheat field below their grass hut with two oxen. Their field on the edge of a small river, this fell away off the high plateau in a series of three waterfalls. Their plough had a small sharp metal tip lashed to its wooden triangular sides, the long beam and ploughman's handle comprised of bark-stripped eucalyptus. They wore a few items of Western clothing - a shirt and a raggedy pair of trousers, both in bare feet. Aside from these few tiny elements that have seeped in from the outside world, the scene was timeless.I believe it is the search for this timelessness that continues to drive me to travel to the wilder corners of this world."In partnership with www.yellowwoodadventures.com

When it comes to marketing, entrepreneurs today are doomed to fail unless there's a radical change in thinking. In pre-Internet days, the role of marketing was left to the specialists, often after years of studying how to bring people to a place where they performed an action that led to the selling of a product or a service at a profit. Fast forward to post-2020...People are rapidly changing as the pandemic is forcing new ways of viewing the world. While "places" before were limited to home, workplace, schools, and brick-and-mortar shops, "places" today mean anywhere offline and online across a variety of browsers on different devices over different platforms. Home, workplace, schools, and brick-and-mortar shops merge into one big global community. Products and services are now physical, digital, and virtual. Terms like "cryptocurrency" and "artificial intelligence" are adding more confusion to an already complex landscape. How are entrepreneurs expected to keep abreast of all this chaos while still maintaining inner peace and purpose? It's impossible. The Easy-Going Entrepreneur suggests a radically different approach to marketing. By combining quantum physics, heart-brain coherence, and basic marketing principles, it suggests using the Law of Attraction principles to make marketing a spiritual practice that resonates peace. With fun and easy exercises, the author invites you along on her journey of self-discovery.
