Starting, owning or running a successful company can bring personal and financial freedom as well as a profound sense of accomplishment. In this powerful guide to achieving independence, entrepreneur and inspirational speaker Keith Cameron Smith shares ten crucial principles to help you make the leap from ordinary follower to extraordinary leader, including:

Entrepreneurs have an empowering perspective on failure. Employees see failure as bad. Learn to see setbacks not as rejection, but as feedback to help you learn and grow.

Entrepreneurs are solution finders. Employees are problem solvers. Instead of quick fixes, seek out permanent solutions that save time and money.

Even if you can't start your own business, you can make changes right now by adopting an entrepreneurial spirit. By following Keith Cameron Smith's expert advice, you can take control of your career and your life, once and for all!
