The Resilient Entrepreneur

How can entrepreneurs become mentally, emotionally and practically prepared for a crisis? What strategies might help them endure and surface from a crisis? And what can we learn from them?
Drawing on research and insights from 20 years spent studying entrepreneurs, Rachel Doern explores the experiences of entrepreneurs facing crises and presents practical strategies for building resilience in a turbulent world. With real-life examples and hands-on exercises, this book offers actionable steps to build resilience -- and to protect it -- by helping us shift how we think, what we focus on and how we shape and use our environment and resources.
Essential reading for entrepreneurs, students and academics, business stakeholders, coaches and mentors, this book provides a fresh perspective on navigating crises. Through personal stories of resilience, it offers inspiration and guidance for the resilience work we can all do.
