Don’t be afraid So you woke in the middle of the night, or from a vivid daydream on the bus to work to the realisation that you have a great idea. Don’t be afraid. This book will give you some of the skills and tools to confidently convert your idea into reality! Sometimes being unafraid is easier said than done, however the fear of failure is what holds most entrepreneurs back from achieving their goals and bringing ideas to life. Some common things you will read or hear when talking about entrepreneurial success is that they acknowledged and became able to manage fear of failure, and use it to their advantage. Many fantastic ideas and thoughts have never made it into main stream production because the inventor themselves, or those around them, slow the process of moving forward. During the course of the book I will refer to the concept of a “project” as being the full lifecycle of creating an original product or service. The thought process of thinking of your idea as a project is to entice you to set goals and keep an overall holistic view of the progress from idea to completion. It will give you the ability to set your own milestones and build a road map that includes the high level tasks needed to complete the project. For example a simple project timeline is: - Discover an idea - Research current viability and uses - Create a solid business plan - Bring in your trusted group - Define the business tasks required - Execute on your idea I will also highlight examples of the toxic individuals and elements in your environment that could influence the overall outcome. As your project steps through its lifecycle these elements will potentially produce an aura of fear that may consume the project process and prevent it from reaching its full potential. Always take full ownership of your ideas and projects, become the only overall decision maker until the project evolves into an end product. The ultimate litmus test will come when selling to the broader community and reaching the all-important (and sometimes judgmental) consumer.

About the Author
From early on in life Craig had a love for literature. Throughout schooling and university days the top four subjects Craig excelled in were English, Modern history, Ancient history and literature. It was a gravitational pull for him. While continuing to study, Craig was immersed into the world of innovation, having an innate ability to observe issues differently to others, and finding a solution for them. Traditionally coming from a thorough and strong English background, Craig worked with some of the leading Australia / European technology businesses, continuing to innovate and improving customer products for the broader global community. Majority of the challenges faced have been managed or solved with somewhat unorthodox methods, but the job still got done. This talent led to the belief that Craig was and remains a true entrepreneur and found the flare within. Writing has always been the primary goal, however in between Craig managed three business acquisitions and mergers, and started his own technology business at 29 and built the business over seven years through to its own acquisition. After navigating the minefield of being an entrepreneur and a budding novelist for 25 years he decided to pass knowledge onto others, hence the first novel, “Being and Entrepreneur”. Reaching out to people with true potential and guiding them to their own successes, either innovation or literature. Craig’s passion for the industry has earnt him confidence from others, assisted in the growth of knowledge, and contributed to the literature world for other budding authors.
