Job Development

You've thought about it long enough. Now here's exactly how to do it. Most people don't fail at starting a business - they never start at all. They overthink, talk themselves out of it, and let the fear of what might go wrong grow bigger than the thing itself. Simon Squibb has spent thirty-five years helping people get past it. In this audiobook, he breaks it all down into a ten-step system that takes you from "I want to do something" to running a business of your own.

Thin margins. Complex decisions. That is supranormal work: the far edge of what most would consider sustainable. The people who build sustainable careers there don't just rely on grit.

Most leadership problems do not begin with a lack of intelligence. They begin in the moment when a leader knows what needs to happen, but fails to say it in a way that creates clarity, confidence and movement. The recommendation sounds uncertain.

The strategy makes perfect sense in the presentation, yet nobody can explain it the next morning. These moments are expensive. A poorly framed recommendation can lose a decision. An unclear priority can waste weeks of work. Vague...
