Torva has acquired the new book from "Dragons’ Den" star, bestselling author and businesswoman Sara Davies. Susanna Wadeson acquired world rights to The Six-Minute Entrepreneur: 52 Short Lessons for Long-Term Business Success from Paul Stevens at Independent Talent in an exclusive submission, with Lucy Oates editing.
The synopsis reads: "Her new book distils a lifetime of business advice into 52 lessons—one for each week of the year. They take just six minutes to learn, giving readers plenty of time to put them into practice.
"Spanning everything from developing ideas and finding mentors to overcoming hurdles and mastering time management, Sara’s quick tips and hacks are balanced with deeper actions for readers to try out in their own time. Whether they’re taking their first steps into business or juggling a growing company around family life, there’s something for every entrepreneur."
Oates says: "This is such a valuable guide for anyone starting or growing a business. Sara’s trademark energy and warmth come through on every page, and her galvanising tips and tricks make a sometimes difficult undertaking feel fun and easy. She’s generous in sharing her own stories—both the vulnerabilities and the remarkable success—and she shows that if she can do it, anybody can."
Davies said: "I’m absolutely thrilled to be working with Transworld again on my new book The Six-Minute Entrepreneur. I’m often asked: ‘What are the ingredients for success?’. And the short answer is passion, vision and drive. But there are countless things that can help us to achieve our goals. I truly believe that anyone can learn a valuable business lesson in just six minutes and in this book I’ve pulled all of my experience together in the form of digestible stories and thoughtful tasks, in the hope that I can help others make time for their businesses to succeed."
The Six-Minute Entrepreneur will be published by Torva in January 2025.
