About this listen

Learn the other secrets to success from the founder of Boost Juice.

In The Accidental Entrepreneur, author Janine Allis shares the secrets and skills that took her from housewife to entrepreneur to head of a multinational corporation. As the founder of Boost Juice, Janine has journeyed from zero formal business training to leading a company with over 400 stores in 12 countries. This audiobook takes you down the long road that she travelled, including some quirky stops along the way, and gives you valuable insight into taking the alternative road to business success. You'll learn how she captured the hearts of consumers with her "love life" philosophy and how to hang on to your core values, build the right team, listen to your customers, and market like the big boys. As a working mother of four, Janine understands the demands of modern life and shows you how you can accomplish your goals without sacrificing your health or your relationships in the process.

Boost Juice is in more countries than any other juice bar in the world, employs 6,000 people, and for the past four years has grown by an average of 30 stores and four countries every year. And it all began with one housewife in her Melbourne kitchen! Big ideas often start out small, and this audiobook shows you how to nurture them into achieving their full potential. Learn how a company grows from kitchen table to $AUD135 million per annum. Explore and apply Janine Allis' practical tips for success. Identify and develop the skills you need to get where you want to be. Overcome the common obstacles that can throw you off course.

Aussie inspiration

What an incredible story and inspiration told in a down to earth manner. No doubt would inspire generations given she picked something that she simply loved doing with a product that improves health.

Put everything on the line (burnt the bridges I call it), grit, determination and passion. There were plenty of gold nuggets to take away as well ..highly recommend

An inspiring journal of self reflection.

Reads as an inspiring journal to oneself. Some good general life advice repeated, and a couple of gold nuggets, but nothing overly specific or strategic.

Inspirational Journey

Janine’s journey is truly inspirational! With no formal education but a zest to give it her very best in everything she does and an innate belief in her own self worth she achieves turning the ordinary into extraordinary!! I had the honour of seeing Janine speak recently at the Entrepreneurs Summit in Melbourne (Aug 2018) when I had almost finished listening to this audible and she only added to how I already viewed her as an empowered woman but to see her live, I could not help but sense her poise, grace and fluent wisdom towards life and meeting her the depth of sincerity in her eyes spoke volumes. They say timing is everything and this was perfection, Janine you’ve enhanced my journey in building an empire incredibly so. A must read for anyone walking an Entrepreneurs life, to think bigger than big itself and power ahead! Love this book! Thank you Janine Allis for sharing your story, be inspired - I am! ❤️

Enjoyable and Informative

I found this book quite enjoyable. But think it is more of a biography than a book for a budding entrepreneur.
Janine has had a really great life, but found the doting over her husband a bit overwhelming and is pasted in nearly every paragraph somewhere.Because of this, I found the book a bit boring and unprofessional.
However, all that being said, it is an enjoyable book, and there is some information in there, just not a lot.

What a wonderful story and I now have so much more respect & admiration for the Boost brand - Janine really gave it her all and I love the tips thrown in now & then. I just started a business so it was refreshing to hear of the hard work put in, it wasn’t just luck for Janine, she sacrificed a lot & worked her backside off!
The narrator read so well too. Thoroughly enjoyable and highly recommended!! A+++
