You're not too young to run your own business.
With a good idea, self-belief and the right guidance, you can accomplish anything.
Succeeding as a Young Entrepreneur: Lessons in Life and Business is crammed with practical tips and strategies to help you do what you love and love what you do.
It’s a roadmap for starting and growing a business based on my personal journey, from being told I’d never succeed to building an award winning agency as a teenager, and working with brands like Sheffield Hallam University, Santander, and the BBC.

Learn about your customers to solve their problems
Create a business plan to get others invested in your idea
Navigate the world of networking to make connections that can grow your business
Use social media to build a community of customers and cheerleaders
Secure funding to move your business forward
Put systems in place to look after your mental health
Deal with negativity and maintain a positive outlook
Plan for a successful future as an entrepreneur
And much more!
If you’ve ever wanted work for yourself, but have felt held back by a lack of direction, self-doubt or push-back from others, this book shows you it’s possible.

About the author.
Hello, I'm Harvey Morton.
Hello, I'm Harvey Morton.
I’ve spent the last decade running my own businesses. From starting a freelance career while still at school to growing a multi-award digital agency before the age of 24 and becoming an Ambassador for Youth Employment UK.
It’s been quite the ride. Not always the smoothest one.
In Succeeding as a Young Entrepreneur I share what I’ve learnt from self-employment: what worked and what didn’t.
I’ve read enough business books to know that many are old-fashioned and aimed at older audiences. The book is an antidote to outdated, irrelevant advice.
I guide you through the ups and downs of being a young entrepreneur, from following your passion and making a difference to pushing forward in the face of negativity.
Using tried and tested accessible tips based on my own experience, I show you how to do what you need to do to grow your business and improve yourself.
