'Winning Lines' - £6.99 plus p&p (please contact us to order)
Some people are comfortable with the notion that the right sort of lifestyle is simply to be able to cruise, to go with the flow, to free wheel. For them, achievement is to avoid the bumps in their path, let alone the mountains in their way. This lifestyle is for the survival focussed.

Others are comfortable with quite a different lifestyle. They seek the excitement of change of pace, change of direction and catching their breath on the move. They drive on, again and again. They seek out the bumps and the mountains to learn how to deal with them and in doing so they focus even more effectively on how they will pursue their purpose. This lifestyle is for the challenge focussed. Is it yours? Hardback.

 

 
You are writing the story of your life. You must be, mustn’t you? Who else can be holding the pen? The question is, are you choosing what to write or is your Tiger dictating your story to you?

Over 70,000 people around the world have heard Jim Lawless speak about the Ten Rules for Taming Tigers. Now for the first time you can learn how to use the highly practical ten rules – described by Richard Dunwoody MBE as "the antidote to self help" – to do things you never thought you could.

You can also read the hilarious and inspiring tales of racing legends, hospital trips and breakthroughs that Jim experienced on his way from overweight non-riding consultant to riding in his first televised horse race in just 12 months to prove that Taming Tigers worked.

Anyone Can Do It bookcover

'Anyone Can Do It' - £7.99 plus p&p
Building Coffee Republic From Our Kitchen Table: 57 Real-life laws on entrepreneurship.

Why would a successful London lawyer give up a lucrative practice? That is exactly what Sahar Hashemi and her brother, an investment banker from New York, did when they left their cushy jobs to start Coffee Republic. What makes their decision even more impressive is that they were starting their company in tea crazy England. Their dream became such a success that it is now stuff of legends.

When Sahar was in New York, she enjoyed the variety of coffees and goodies being served in coffee shops springing up around the Big Apple so much that she decided the Brits could be converted. The story of creating her brand in England is so impressive that Sahar decided to write her recipe for success for all the other would-be entrepreneurs. She refers to it as a story about two people who “stopped thinking about it “ and just “did it”.
