The 10% Entrepreneur

Penguin Shop: 3 Clothbound Classics for £33

Entrepreneurship is not one size fits all. It can take many shapes and forms. There's immense value to testing ideas or weaving entrepreneurial qualities into your life before taking the plunge. The 10% Entrepreneur will tell you how.

Christine Tsai, Founding Partner at 500 Startups

For 4 years, while working a full time job, I was also a 10% Entrepreneur. I didn't know the phrase then, I just knew I had more money, more fun and more opportunities than I'd ever had in my life. If any of those sound like things you want more of, read this book!

McGinnis delivers a winning game-plan for assuming 10% more risk, more creativity and more (ad)venture in your everyday life for 100% more satisfaction. Entrepreneurship is a smart choice for everyone - and so is reading this book.

Linda Rottenberg, Co-founder & CEO of Endeavor and author of Crazy is a Compliment

In a shifting corporate landscape, entrepreneurship no longer has to mean all-or-nothing endeavors. Patrick McGinnis uses his own expertise as a "part-time entrepreneur" to illustrate a proven solution for you to become one, too.

Keith Ferrazzi, author of Who’s Got Your Back and Never Eat Alone
