Linda E. Rawlings’ book Improbable Possibilities: An Entrepreneur’s Quest is a tale about the power of sticking it out and having that energy inside you to pursue what you want. And it’s not just any story, it’s a true story! Improbable Possibilities is a book about the world of Linda E. Rawlings. She shares intimate details about her journey from childhood to becoming a super successful multi-business entrepreneur. Rawlings shares her successes as well as the mistakes she made along the way. This is awesome and exactly what you want from a book like this. It’s impossible to be perfect, everyone makes mistakes and it’s important we can develop a community where we share these mistakes so that others can learn from them just like you did. We can all make each other better in this sense. Rawlings embraces them as integral parts of her growth and success, which is exactly the attitude to have.
I find myself daydreaming often about following my own entrepreneurial path and I found Rawlings’ insights empowering. I really feel, after reading this book, that this is something I could do! It’s inspiring. She embraces the endless possibilities of life. Improbable Possibilities is a must-read and I’m going to talking my friends’ ears off about it for the next week I’m sure.
