There are lots of books that tell the story behind successful businesses, but in How To Make A Million In Business, Gary Beckwith combines the fascinating tales of his personal triumphs and tragedies with practical advice in a way that makes the book both entertaining and informative for other entrepreneurs.
Gary is the UK tourism pioneer – best known for being founder and CEO of City Cruises PLC. Anyone who has visited London will have seen his boats on the Thames. But it becomes apparent that running a cruise business isn’t all plain sailing as we learn how he bounced back from disaster and innovated his way out of financial trouble to turn a cottage industry into a global destination for tourists.
The book uses anecdotes from City Cruises’ expansion to show what really goes into creating a successful business that stands the test of time. It also explores the emotional reality and complexity of running a family business, including what stepping away can mean for your loved ones and your own identity.
How To Make a Million in Business is a fascinating look back on 50 years of hard graft, distilled into lessons that can help and inspire the next generation of entrepreneurs. Whether it’s knowing when to take risks or finding ways to cope when your business becomes an overnight success, the book is packed with insights to learn and stories to enjoy.
