Instead of conventional success stories about tech billionaires and elite MBAs, the book contains 100 stories of everyday people who have started businesses, big and small, and taken control of their lives. These entrepreneurs run their own businesses without ever hiring an investment bank, planning an exit strategy, dreaming of an IPO or even receiving a loan. Together, these portraits from all over the world present a more representative picture of entrepreneurship than the one we get from the covers of Forbes, Fortune or SUCCESS Magazine. The first book in The Other Hundred initiative celebrated a richly diverse selection of ordinary people living extraordinary lives all over the world.
