Mick Spencer speaks candidly to other future business leaders whose unconventional aspirations aren't served by conventional advice. He challenges a reader's assumption that you need to have a university degree or financial assets to succeed. Through engrossing anecdotes, he shows readers that to 'start before you're ready' means making every day matter and every moment count. It means focusing on what you can do, rather than dwelling on what you can't. It means learning on the go, saying yes first, then figuring out how to deliver, meeting challenges with an optimism and adventurousness that will infuse your whole life.
