Publisher's Summary

Start Before You're Ready offers entrepreneurs an inspiring new road map to success - one that runs against nearly everything you've ever been taught about business. Author Mick Spencer is living proof that success doesn't always rest down the traditional path of formal education and deep pockets.

At the age of 22, with nothing to his name, he founded ONTHEGO Custom Apparel (otgcustom.com), a customized apparel and uniform company. Since then he has built a worldwide network of movers and shakers and raised millions in venture capital. His company is now a multi-million-dollar player on the international stage, disrupting the slow-moving industry with a modern blend of technological disruptions and social responsibility. In this book, he presents a solid case that analysis paralysis and endless "preparation" won't get you anywhere - you have to take that leap and do what you really want to do. Indeed, start before you're ready.

Spencer challenges you to get outside your comfort zone and, although intimidating, his approach forces you to learn "on the go" and focus on what you can do rather than what you can't. Engrossing personal anecdotes coach you through the frustrations and challenges, while vital tools and clear strategies give you a concrete plan for making every day count.

Mick is so 'relatable'. Awesome read!

I heard a podcast interview with Mick Spencer and he sounded like a very interesting guy. Downloaded his new book and recently completed. It was an awesome read. His story is inspiring and I have applied some of his strategies into my day already. He tells it as it is, he's a very 'real' person and therefore easy to relate to.

Egotism killed the book

Simple and easy to apply tactics and information but I found the end of the book the author’s ego took over to tell us how awesome he and his company is, which i found impressive, but had no meaning in the context of the book.
