Linda E. Rawlings takes readers on a ride in Improbable Possibilities: An Entrepreneur’s Quest. I myself rode through the highs and lows of the world of entrepreneurship reading this one. What makes this book stand out? It’s the raw look into Rawlings’ life. You can tell that she’s being real, and that is so important to make a book like this actually hit the mark. You’ll learn the valuable lessons she learned throughout life… Only without having to go through the experiences yourself! If you are someone who’s a self starter, interested in entrepreneurship… This is a great book to pick up.
I feel that in society today many people are interested in starting their own thing. We’re all looking to be successful. To be successful, you have to stay inspired and motivated. That itself can be a difficult task. But, as someone who dreams of starting their own business, I found Rawlings’ story both inspiring and empowering. Books are a great way to learn and light a fire of passion inside of you. Rawlings never backing down is a reminder that success is often born out of setbacks. Whether you’re an aspiring entrepreneur or just looking for a good read, Improbable Possibilities is sure to leave a lasting impression. Even those not following this path will find something valuable in these pages.
