Business & management; Advice on careers & achieving success

Work for yourself in just one week with Britain's most dynamic entrepreneur

Work for yourself in just one week with Britain's most dynamic entrepreneur

'Everybody

wants to be an entrepreneur. Every single day of my life I am bombarded

by people with pitches. But 90% of new businesses fail, because their

founders failed to ask themselves the simplest of questions.

I

can save you years of wasted time and thousands of pounds of wasted

money by giving you the ammunition to ask the right questions, and

helping you make the decision that is right for you.

I will show

you how to spend a maximum of seven days deciding if your idea is

workable and bankable. How to say 'I'm in', but equally importantly, to

have the courage to say 'I'm out'. How to become your own Dragon.

Each

piece of advice in this book is based on my thirty years of starting

businesses. You will find all the fundamental ingredients for any new

company, whatever sector you want to be in, whatever size of business

you have in mind, along with the tools to make it work.

Answer

all the tough questions I am going to get you to ask yourself and you

will have a business that genuinely has a chance of success. You can be

one of the 10% of businesses that do make it.'

- James Caan.

James Caan is one of

the UK's most successful and dynamic

entrepreneurs, having built and sold businesses since 1985. After

dropping out of school at sixteen and starting his first business in a

Pall Mall broom cupboard - armed with little more than charm and his

father's advice - Caan went on to make his fortune in the recruitment

industry, founding the Alexander Mann Group, a company with a turnover

of e130m. A 2003 graduate of Harvard Business School, Caan's most recent

endeavour has been to set up private equity firm Hamilton Bradshaw.

Caan hit our screens when he joined the panel of the BBC's Dragons'

Den

in 2007. He is a regular in the national and business press, advises on

various Government programmes, and initiates numerous philanthropic

projects via the James Caan Foundation.
