Start something new, develop your career and diversify your skills - without giving up your day job

You want to launch a business, try something new and make yourself more employable, but you don't want to lose the security of your job. You no longer have to choose. Instead, become a 10% entrepreneur.

In The 10% Entrepreneur, Patrick J. McGinnis shows you how to integrate entrepreneurship into your life by investing 10% of your time and, if possible, 10% of your capital into side projects. You will generate more income, discover new opportunities, sharpen your skills - and get the life you've always wanted.

Clear, concise and forward-thinking, The 10% Entrepreneur dives deeper into the future of today's business world (Tony Hsieh, bestselling author of Delivering Happiness and CEO of Zappos)

For 4 years, while working a full time job, I was also a 10% Entrepreneur. I didn't know the phrase then, I just knew I had more money, more fun and more opportunities than I'd ever had in my life. If any of those sound like things you want more of, read this book! (Jon Acuff, author of Do Over)

Entrepreneurship is not one size fits all. It can take many shapes and forms. There's immense value to testing ideas or weaving entrepreneurial qualities into your life before taking the plunge. The 10% Entrepreneur will tell you how. (Christine Tsai, Founding Partner at 500 Startups)

McGinnis delivers a winning game-plan for assuming 10% more risk, more creativity and more (ad)venture in your everyday life for 100% more satisfaction. Entrepreneurship is a smart choice for everyone - and so is reading this book. (Linda Rottenberg, Co-founder & CEO of Endeavor and author of Crazy is a Compliment)

In a shifting corporate landscape, entrepreneurship no longer has to mean all-or-nothing endeavors. Patrick McGinnis uses his own expertise as a "part-time entrepreneur" to illustrate a proven solution for you to become one, too. (Keith Ferrazzi, author of Who’s Got Your Back and Never Eat Alone)

Fantastic

Easy to listen
Informative
Well read
Clear

Only down side was there were parts I felt the hard copy may have been useful (diagrams, bullets points etc.)

Motivation for a new life

A guide for the life you have always wanted to have, and the motivation to start.

Fantastic audio book

I liked it very much. It gives the keys and motivation to start, and everything makes sense. Just need to do it. Recommend it to anyone doubting on what to do, maybe the answer is start with 10%

Not very informative

Learned very little. It's mostly just a long way to say "do it" and why one should.
