Stephen HauntsI'm Stephen Haunts, the author of The Path to Freedom - Starting a Business for the Reluctant Entrepreneur. I am a small business owner who lives in Derbyshire in the United Kingdom. I have a background in software development and leadership and now un a small single person company creating online training courses and books.Like many people, I was reluctant to start a business because of a fear of failure and being averse to taking on personal and financial risk. I liked the idea of working for myself and being free to design my future, but it scared me to take the leap. What I found though was once I got started, it was not nearly as bad as I expected. The reason? I started a small part-time business while I still worked for my regular employer. I built my business at a pace I was comfortable with and I didn't even consider going full-time running my business until I was ready. In this book, I take you through everything I learnt along the way so that I can hopefully ease your own fears and turn you from a reluctant entrepreneur into a successful entrepreneur. I will not claim that this is the only business book you will ever need. No book can do that, but by reading The Path to Freedom, and working your way through the included workshop exercises, I can help you discover your business idea and execute on it.With the help of this book, you can be successful, and you can do it without taking on debt, stress, and anxiety. I will teach you everything you need to get started. Read More Read Less
