What's Your Dream?

Find Your Passion. Love Your Work. Build a Richer Life.

#1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER • Kickstart your dream business and see it through to success with actionable advice and inspirational stories from entrepreneur, investor, YouTuber, and founder of HelpBnk Simon Squibb

From early on, we are taught that there's only one path to getting ahead: do well at school, get a certain kind of job, and avoid failure at all costs. We're so busy trying to follow these rules that we never stop and ask ourselves: What's my purpose? Is my 9-5 really what I want to do? What kind of job or business do I really want to pursue? Do I have the power to make it happen? With Simon Squibb’s incisive new book, you can make it happen.

Simon Squibb is on a mission to help young entrepreneurs discover their passion and start their business. Drawing on the hard-won life lessons from Squibb’s years in the business world and his own personal life—from facing homelessness as a teenager to selling a multi-million pound business—What’s Your Dream? is the step-by-step guide to turn your dream venture into a reality. Squibb begins by providing a definition of a dream and continues on to introduce readers to a set of tools to build confidence and persevere through the barriers that stand in the way. Squibb will dissect the common pitfalls that block the way—being trapped by aspirations that aren’t true dreams, falling prey to popular myths that stop us from achieving our goals, giving into the fear that prevents us from taking action—and share the secrets to overcome them. Young entreprenuers will glean useful business insight, such as:

• how to assess risk level, understanding not to take risks indiscriminately but to take them well
• knowing how and when to quit so you can pivot and start again
• how to create a community of super fans who will purchase and advocate for all of your products
• how to grow your customers, and more

Achieving wealth shouldn’t mean sacrificing your dreams and passions. This book can show you how.

Motivational and practical

This book is distilled version of what the author talks about all the time on social media. I love how this book is laid out practical takeaways to get your mind going and start thinking differently to get out of traditional thinking patterns.

Amazing

This is something I talk to people about all the time but love how in depth it went

A Contrarian Path to a Richer Life

Simon Squibb opens What’s Your Dream? with a clear challenge: we are conditioned to follow a conventional path: good grades, a steady job, playing it safe. Yet, in the process, we may never ask ourselves what we really want or whether we have the power to make it happen.

He draws on his own story of homelessness as a teenager to building and selling businesses to illustrate that the barrier is often our mindset rather than external circumstances.

The book is mainly pitched at people who feel stuck, unfulfilled in work, or uncertain how to turn a passion into something more.

What works well in the book is its direct, no-nonsense tone and the way Squibb connects the personal and the practical. The narration in the audiobook (also by Squibb) adds an authentic dimension: when an author narrates his own story and message, the tempo and inflection often make the material more compelling. For many listeners and readers, this builds credibility because it feels like the voice matches the message. Reviews report that Squibb’s voice is engaging and his life lessons feel tangible rather than abstract.

On the practical side, the book offers a number of tools and frameworks to help you define your “dream”, spot the myths that hold you back, recognise the obstacles, and take action.

That said, the book's scope is worth noting. If you already own a business or feel deeply knowledgeable about entrepreneurship and self-development, you may find some portions of the text fairly familiar. Some reviewers say the book excels more as a strong motivational launchpad than as a deeply technical or advanced study in business strategy.

In other words, the promise of the subtitle, “find your passion, love your work, build a richer life,” is delivered in terms of mindset and first steps, but readers should not expect a comprehensive manual covering every advanced detail of scaling a business.

In summary: What’s Your Dream? is an excellent choice if you are at a juncture where you feel uncertain about your direction, eager to shift from routine work to something more meaningful, and open to hearing guidance from someone who has walked the path. The narration enhances the message's personal authenticity. If, however, you are already well into entrepreneurial work and looking for deep tactical nuance, you may find the content more reaffirming than revolutionary. I really like the work of authors and creators like Alex Hormozi and Steven Bartlett. What's Your Dream? author Simon Squibb seems to encapsulate and expound on their backstories and message without the "Creator Showmanship" of social media personalities. The book is well done and highly recommended.

I used two AIs to compile this review quickly. I want to do a better job of documenting what I've read. I finished this book in Spring 2025, and am making room for more Audible titles on my primary listening device.
