Some people are comfortable with the notion that the right sort of lifestyle is simply to be able to cruise, to go with the flow, to free wheel.  For them, achievement is to avoid the bumps in their path, let alone the mountains in their way.  This lifestyle is for the survival focussed.

Others are comfortable with quite a different lifestyle.  They seek the excitement of change of pace, change of direction and catching their breath on the move.  They drive on, again and again. They seek out the bumps and the mountains to learn how to deal with them and in doing so they focus even more effectively on how they will pursue their purpose.  This lifestyle is for the challenge focussed.  Is it yours?  Hardback.

'Anyone Can Do It' - £7.99 plus p&p
Building Coffee Republic From Our Kitchen Table: 57 real-life laws on entrepreneurship.

Why would a successful London lawyer give up a lucrative practice?  That is exactly what Sahar Hashemi and her brother, an investment banker from New York, did when they left their cushy jobs to start Coffee Republic.  What makes their decision even more impressive is that they were starting their company in tea crazy England.  Their dream became such a success that it is now stuff of legends.

When Sahar was in New York, she enjoyed the variety of coffees and goodies being served in coffee shops springing up around the Big Apple so much that she decided the Brits could be converted.  The story of creating her brand in England is so impressive that Sahar decided to write her recipe for success for all the other would-be entrepreneurs.  She refers to it as a story about two people who “stopped thinking about it “ and just “did it”.
