Book Review
Alexandra N Nolan, entrepreneur and author of The Unconventional Entrepreneur: Launch a Successful Business & Live the Work-Life Dream, welcomes you to the spontaneous world of the Unconventional Entrepreneur! Alexandra was in her mid-20s - making a great salary - traveling all over the US. She really couldn't have had a better job, from what it looked like on the outside, but deep down she just knew that there was something more she was meant to do. Her book is the story of the journey to becoming an Unconventional Entrepreneur.
During her career, Alexandra N Nolan heard so many different things from friends and family, things like ..."You're crazy, you make incredible money!""You're building something with this job!""Suck it up!” The same thing kept going through her head when hearing these things: life is precious, why spend over half of your life doing something you're not passionate about just to spend the last bit living up to your full potential. It just doesn't add up. What did she do next? She quit her job! Are you thinking to yourself: This sounds like me? How did she do it? Her new book, The Unconventional Entrepreneur, tells you how. It guides anyone seeking financial freedom, and the flexibility afforded through that freedom, to becoming their own boss!
The unconventional entrepreneur doesn't need loads of money, investments, a team of employees, or an office building. With this book, Alexandra will help you silence your inner critic and launch a business through do-it-yourself exercises, QR Code printable worksheets, unconventional business strategies, and personal stories of business success and overcoming obstacles from her own female entrepreneurship experiences.
