Publisher's summary

The exact qualities that bring an individual to found a start-up company (their brilliance and expertise) are what prevent them from achieving the success they are looking for - this is the paradox that is entrepreneurship. What starts out as freedom and financial independence turns into grueling hours and added stress and bills. But successful five-time entrepreneur Curtis Morley is here to help. He shares that every entrepreneur is typically doing the same 15 things wrong or just not doing them at all - regardless of industry or business type. This guidebook identifies each of these mistakes and reveals to listeners how to break free of the pattern.

Find explosive growth. By laying out what every entrepreneur does wrong or doesn't do at all, Morley lays the groundwork for entrepreneurship development and teaches listeners how to overcome the entrepreneur's paradox. This book will help entrepreneurs apply foundational business principles to their start-up that will shift the way they operate and allow them to make the changes they need to go from fledgling start-up to bona-fide business.

Dive into this dynamic book and learn more about how to be an entrepreneur, the mistakes that you are most likely already making, and the key to success in the startup world.

Great book for new & experienced entrepreneurs!

I really enjoyed this book. I’m currently building my second business & have listened to and ready many business building & leadership books over the years & this easily earned a spot in my top 3. I took notes, learned new things & enjoyed doing the challenges & exercises. It has specific practical advice as well as broad winning principals for small up through large businesses. Highly recommended!

I love this book it was so awesome I’ve been in an entrepreneur position for over 12 years and it was so refreshing to have curtis break down the process and share his story on how he built his buisness. Lots of thought-provoking topics.

Entrepreneur’s Paradox Bible!

This is a must read if you don’t know what you don’t know. What I mean is in starting any new business or endeavor there are predictable problems or issues you will face. Curtis really does an amazing job helping those who want to do it right short cut the process. Really, great work Curtis!

Insightful and Inspiring!

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and plan to take to heart so many of the valuable truths outlined within. Curtis' ease at weaving anecdotal applications amidst succinct and powerful truths for entrepreneurs made this such an interesting and entertaining read. Not only that, but knowing that Curtis had lived and learned each of the 16 pitfalls himself had me as a reader truly captivated. I knew these were valuable life lessons he had gained and in sharing them, Curtis essentially saves us all the heartache of having to learn them firsthand ourselves. What more could you want? This was a great, insightful, and inspiring book!
