The big day is FINALLY here!
More than three years after writing it & a year of editing, we're excited & proud to announce that our CEO's book, “The Accidental Entrepreneur” is now available for sale. To learn more about it, keep reading below.
If you’re interested in a copy, go to https://www.linktr.ee/serensholmesauthor. To help give her a shot at making the best sellers list, please buy it on Wed., Nov. 10. We'd also appreciate it if you can leave me a review on Amazon (kind words only, please).
Synopsis:
Vulnerable & honest, The Accidental Entrepreneur takes the reader on a journey of self-discovery, weaving together deeply personal stories of heartbreak & resilience along with business anecdotes & relevant, real-life examples. Serena details how she managed to navigate the tremendous challenges life threw her way, using these lessons as stepping stones to pave her path to success.
Serena Holmes is a multi-award winning entrepreneur, but she had a humble beginning. She was “born with a silver spoon in her mouth, but it tarnished.” At least, that’s what she was told when she was just six years old. She was born into the perfect nuclear family but her life began to crumble when her father walked out & a year later, when her brother was killed in a tragic accident.
As a series of events began to unfold throughout Serena’s troubled childhood, she came to the realization that life is what you make of it. She believes it’s up to you to take ownership & accountability of the outcome. With this in mind, she found a way to leave a difficult situation when she was twelve years old so she could start her life over.
As Serena developed into a young adult, she took advantage of an unexpected opportunity to partner on a business venture at the age of twenty-three, taking over the company just four years later. Serena addresses some of the struggles that she, like any aspiring entrepreneur, can expect to encounter while growing, managing & maintain
