Unleashing the Entrepreneur

Daring and Disruptive

DO YOU HAVE BIG DREAMS AND BIG PLANS, BUT LACK THE RESOURCES TO PURSUE THEM? DO YOU FIND YOURSELF SAYING 'IF ONLY I HAD THE MONEY...'? ARE YOU TOO EMBARRASSED TO ASK OTHERS FOR HELP? In her bestselling book Daring & Disruptive and its sequel Life & Love, serial entrepreneur Lisa Messenger shared the business insights gathered in more than a decade of success across multiple industries, including how to identify your true purpose, pinpoint your passions and create the working life most only dream of. But, let's be honest, you need the means to make it all happen. In her latest book, she tackles a topic with a stigma - money! What would you do if money was no object, how can anyone find profit in the impossible and - her personal bugbear - when will 'gunnas' stop using lack of money as an excuse for not stepping out of their comfort zone and pursuing their purpose? Mixing advice from mentors, experts and famous role models, with lessons learned in her own entrepreneurial journey, Lisa reveals how she built a global brand, and launched a magazine sold in 37 countries, without having to borrow a single cent from a bank. This is from a woman who, years before, could barely afford to buy toothpaste. In the self-deprecating manner that has become her trademark style, Lisa shares her own journey, clearly stating she is not a guru when it comes to finances, but has used fresh thinking and creative ideas to fuel a burgeoning business. She will help you appreciate your real value, amplify your self-worth and find the means to achieve everything you dream of. Many of us are raised to believe it's rude to talk about money. But as a self-proclaimed disruptor, this entrepreneur wants to put a bomb in the bank vault and blow it wide open...

Cubicle Commando is a business book that arms intrapreneurs (internal entrepreneurs) with remarkable thinking and techniques they can use to help their companies innovate.

Cubicle Commando assists these enormously creative and intelligent individuals who want to make a difference within their companies but are struggling to translate their ideas into action. This book helps them work most effectively within the existing structures, systems, resources and realities of a corporation.
