True Profit Business: How to play your bigger game without burning out by Karen Skidmore

*SHORT-LISTED FOR THE BUSINESS BOOK AWARDS 2020!*

We need to change the way we do business.

If you've decided to go it alone and grow your own business, you're probably finding it tough to make things work.

The pace of life is getting faster, our benchmarks for success ever higher, and thousands of micro-business owners are facing entrepreneurial burnout, trying to cover up their stress and exhaustion with 'love-my-life' smiles and filtered images on social media.

It's not just the cashflow that needs fixing: your mental health and well-being are at stake here.

If you are ready to make money, make an impact and thrive in the process, True Profit Business gives you a simpler, more connected path to business success:

* Clarity - understand what your bigger vision of success looks like and how business growth really works

* Structure - get clear on the five Growth Pillars to ensure sustainable growth

* Flow - discover when to Lean Back and when to Lean In to enable an effective energy flow between thinking, planning and taking action

* Process - discover which of the five True Profit Business Models will enable you to thrive.

True Profit Business not only helps you diagnose what's going wrong for you, it focuses you on your bigger game and shows you the building blocks - the processes and people - you need to turn your expertise and talents into a purposeful, playful and profitable business.

True Profit Business Reviews

What I love most about this book is how practical and down to earth it is. Karen Skidmore shows you the exact steps to have a profitable and successful business in a way that works for you. It shows you how to create a business that nourishes and fuels you at every step on your business journey.

It's full of practical exercises which will take you to where you want to go - and it's written in a fun engaging style. I love it - a must read for every business owner.

This is a terrific book because it is helping me to put into action a proven and simple-to-implement system to get more clients without feeling overwhelmed and stressed.
I highly recommend it for any entrepreneur who wants to grow their business with focus and enjoy the process.

Extremely practical and insightful book. It's remarkable how the author has managed to pulled together so many elements that go into running a business, to make a coherent step by step guide to grow the business you want.
Highlights many pitfalls and doesn't shy away from topics such as burn-out, and contains many valuable lessons.
Have already found myself dipping back into it - there is a lot of ground covered and is certainly will be revisiting it again and again.

Karen has put together a great no-nonsense narrative examining the potentials and pitfalls of self-employment and the entrepreneurial dream. She advocates a change to the way we push ourselves (to exhaustion) to build a business we can be proud of and that sustains our life, family and fun times. At a time when technology is supposed to be helping us not hindering us, Karen shows us how to cut the madness, to lean back, face our inner fears and self-doubt, stop comparing ourselves to others, reground our true motivations and tune into our creativity and natural flow. It's all common sense we too easily forget in our busy day to days. The book provides the strategic guidance and practical exercises to navigating the business building process.

As a business owner who has been on a similar journey juggling life challenges, health challenges and business challenges, I wish I'd had this wisdom and practical guidance years ago instead of resolving it all alone. Karen describes her experience and feelings of exhaustion, indecision and hiding away through fear and doubt. She articulates the emotions so insightfully, she might just as well have been recounting my own story, it's spot on. The book helped me to see my journey is not untypical, that I'm on the right track and what I want is within reach. It's been a great reminder to get specific with my plans and to choose a business model that matches what I truly want in the longer term with what suits my preferred way of working with clients and energy flow.
