Introducing the global mind-set changing the way we do business. In this fascinating book, global entrepreneurship expert Daniel Isenberg presents a completely novel way to approach business building—with the insights and lessons learned from a worldwide cast of entrepreneurial characters. Not bound by a western, Silicon Valley stereotype, this group of courageous and energetic doers has created a global and diverse mix of companies destined to become tomorrow’s leading organizations. Worthless, Impossible, and Stupid is about how enterprising individuals from around the world see hidden value in situations where others do not, use that perception to develop products and services that people initially don’t think they want, and ultimately go on to realize extraordinary value for themselves, their customers, and society as a whole. What these business builders have in common is a contrarian mind-set that allows them to create opportunities and succeed where others see nothing. Amazingly, this process repeats itself in one form or another countless times a day all over the world. From Albuquerque to Islamabad, you will travel with Isenberg to discover unusual yet practical insights that you can use in your own business. Meet the founders of Grameenphone in Bangladesh, PACIV in Puerto Rico, Sea to Table in New York, Actavis in Iceland, Studio Moderna in Slovenia, Hartwell Metals in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, Given Imaging in Israel, WildChina in China, and many others. You’ll be moved by the stories of these plucky start-ups—many of them fueled by adversity and, more often than not, by necessity. Great stories, stunning successes, crushing failures—they’re all here. What can we, in the East and West, learn from them? What can you learn—and what will these entrepreneurial stories, so compellingly told, inspire you to do? Let this book open doors for you where you once saw only walls. If you’ve ever felt the urge to turn a glimmer of an idea into something extraordinary, these stories are for you.

Do You Have What It Takes to Be an Entrepreneur? Most people have an inkling of the entrepreneur in their DNA and have thought about what it'd be like to be their own boss and call the shots; to do something more meaningful and more rewarding with their lives. The challenge in North America is that life as an employee is pretty comfortable. Most people if asked "How's it going?" would likely say "okay", "can't complain", "not bad", "good". Good, however, can be the enemy of great. It's easy enough to coast through life, making the most of what comes our way. However, to make a go of it on our own, and be an entrepreneur, it takes a little something more! If you're someone who has ideas, inspirations, aspirations, things you want to accomplish in life, you can't just sit there and wait for things to happen for you. You have to be a bit different, do a bit more, and think a little differently than most people out there. Take the test and see how you score across the Eight Entrepreneurial Mindsets! We hope you learn some things about yourself, and feel more confident, empowered and optimistic about the prospects of becoming an entrepreneur. What if you ACTUALLY have what it takes to be an entrepreneur and never realize your true potential? That would be a shame! Our whole purpose is to Empower, Equip and Encourage people just like you to be successful, to live more enjoyable, more rewarding lives, to realize their goals and dreams. Step 1: If you haven't done so already, complete the online Do you have what it takes to be an entrepreneur? Scorecard at www.takingtheplungebook.com/scorecard. Step 2:You'll get an email from us with the details of your scorecard, and information on how you can schedule an Entrepreneur Mindset Strategy Call to review your score and receive objective personalized recommendations.

Most would-be entrepreneurs, when they see there's a real possibility that they can live the life they've been dreaming of, get excited and take the next step. Yet not all of them, some bury their aspirations, resign themselves to their jobs/careers, agonizing over what could've and should've been, even criticizing successful people around them.
