‘All Lisa’s business enthusiasm and knowledge spills onto the pages of this book. She has a real curiosity to understand and problem-solve and an infectious desire that makes you want to work with her. She doesn’t always spell out what I want to hear, nor does she follow the party line, but the feedback is always genuine, insightful and she usually gives me something to think about that wasn’t on the table before. Her business might be COO in a BOX but she is frequently outside the box! Bravo on a great read.’
Graham Brown Managing Director of Forces Recruitment Services

‘Having experienced Lisa’s methods through one-to-one and group coaching, I was expecting great things from her book. Once again, she has delivered. The REAL Entrepreneur is a must read for all of us who are struggling with running a company and managing a team. Lisa’s style is clear, concise and always engaging, and the insights I have received from her methods have already allowed me to communicate more effectively with my staff and avoid panic even in difficult situations. The lady is a star.’

‘For me, this book brings the practical world of business together. When I got my MBA, I knew the questions to ask across most business areas, but it was not always clear how to engage with the problems I faced. This book quickly transitions from problems into tactics and techniques by opening up so many avenues with clear implementation strategies. I can honestly say that this book makes my MBA useful – it should be required reading for all students!’
Roger Press, Founder and Managing Director of Classical World and Academic Rights Press
‘As business owners and entrepreneurs, we work hard at running and growing our businesses. We risk feeling overwhelmed, getting stuck and not really doing what we love. It can be hard to take a step back and reflect on the development of our business and our role in it. The REAL Entrepreneur provides a valuable and practical framework to help us do exactly that. I enjoyed reading it and am currently using its methods on a weekly basis. I highly recommended The REAL Entrepreneur to any owner of a small business.’
Jan van Veen, Founder and Managing Director of moreMomentum.
