 TESTIMONIALS

 A compelling read for both would-be and current business owners. I particularly liked the practical marketing tips and the engaging anecdotes from successful entrepreneurs.
Reg Lascaris, Chairman TBWA\Africa

 Shirley Anthony’s The NEW Entrepreneur, written for existing business owners and new entrepreneurs, is unlike many books in this genre, as it brings an extremely strong and welcome marketing orientation to entrepreneurship. Written in an entertaining and easy-to-read fashion, The NEW Entrepreneur uses case studies and anecdotal events to assist in delving deep into entrepreneurship. A cherry on top is the personal development guides for the new entrepreneur!
B. Peter Vundla, businessman

 Shirley Anthony’s book is a godsend for budding entrepreneurs. Not only is it a concise and practical guide to the intricacies of successful marketing, but, and perhaps more importantly, it is full to the brim with advice on how to navigate a path through the emotional highs and lows that face the first-time business owner. Brand wisdom and therapy . . . what more do you need?
Andy Rice, speaker, writer, strategist (www.andyrice.co.za)

 This is a must read for any budding entrepreneur or business owner seeking inspiration. I loved the chapter on overcoming personal obstacles, especially dealing with the fear that entrepreneurs can experience. “Faith it until you make it” is great advice.
Angelique du Toit, author, speaker, business owner

 Entrepreneur and author Shirley Anthony is both honest and generous as she shares her successes and challenges on what works in building a successful business and what doesn’t! The NEW Entrepreneur deals with the topic of entrepreneurship in a holistic manner. It’s more than just practical hints and tips on what to do and how to do it, but covers the all-important aspects of mind set, loneliness, ethics, attitude and motivation. A refreshing read!
