Creating Social Enterprise: My Story and What I Learned (Unabridged‪)‬

Social enterprises are tackling the triple threat of economic stagnation, social division and environmental meltdown. I became a social entrepreneur in 1980, aged 22 and this is my story of the many social enterprises I have started-up and led, companies, charities and co-operatives.

It is a tale of highs and lows from rapid growth to financial cliff edges.

I share mistakes and accidents, successes and failures, risks taken and what I learned.
