Freedom from Bosses Forever
£9.95
Freedom from Bosses Forever is a book every lover of satire will enjoy, even if they are not interested in starting and running their own business. It has been described as unique by many reviewers and critics because the characters that appear in it are fictional apart from the much derided, Tony Robinson OBE.
'Snorting with laughter' is not an unusual reader re-action. The fictional fashionista,and narrator of the story, Leonora Soculitherz (So-cool-it-hurts) takes the reader on a journey of discovery. Soculitherz (single celebrity name like Beyonce, Rihanna, Madonna, Cher and Batman) investigates a government and big business conspiracy whilst unearthing, along the way, the bare essentials of 'own business' success.
The business tips that appear throughout the book are real and global entrepreneur and owner of WinWeb, Stefan Topfer has called it: 'The funniest hard-hitting business book, that is absolutely full of business truth'.
The Kindle book and the paperback version of Freedom from Bosses Forever are both improved and updated versions of the award winning 'Stripping for Freedom'. Freedom from Bosses Forever also contains bonus features. Some of these are 'just for fun' but for those that have escaped, or wish to escape the rat race, there are links to the author's favourite, and free, enterprise support websites.
Reviews
"I've discovered a rare treat. A business book that's valuable and very funny too. When is the last time you read a business book that made you laugh out loud? Every month there seems to be scores of new books about different aspects of business. Very few focus on the special issues relating to running a business from home. And very, very few have ever made me laugh. This is an exception to the rule." Dave Sumner-Smith is the former Programme Director of Home Business Network and The telegraph Business Club.
"Can I sue for emotional stress? OK Tony I am most displeased with you - you shouldn't have written such a funny book. Picture the scene - we are taking a family break down in Brighton and I have found a good deal at The Grand Hotel (swanky or what) One afternoon it is raining so I decide to have tea and a nice read in the lounge. I stupidly took 'Stripping for Freedom' (the forerunner of Freedom from Bosses Forever) with me and firstly had raised eyebrows from the waiter. Secondly and worst - I started laughing aloud so hard that it came out as a snort - v. embarrassing - other guests lowered their copies of the Telegraph and Wisden to look disapprovingly at me! Seriously it is so funny Tony." Eva Davies, Owner of The Electric Zone.
"Laughing out loud. I'm really enjoying reading this. Indeed my snort of laughter woke up a few sleeping travellers on a Brighton to Victoria train when I read the part about looking good being simply a matter of how well you tuck in your bits!" Julie Stanford owns/designed 'The Essential Business Guide'

Surviving The War Against Yourself
Staring down at his hands, all Tom could see was blood. He could feel it dripping down his face and soaking through his clothes. In reality, there was no blood, just snot and floods of tears from a man in Psychosis, terrified and convinced that he could see something that wasn't there. Trying to reassure Tom that he was safe, his partner Amber frantically called the crisis team to ask for help. After months of intervening in Tom's suicide attempts, and trying to reason with the voices in his head, for her, this was a well-rehearsed routine, but it was exhausting. When would it end? Would Tom ever get better? What would the future hold for this young couple? Surviving the war against yourself is the true story of a couple's journey through mental illness and its devastating impact on their life. In a brutally honest account of fear, pain, love and hope, Tom shares what it was like for him to suffer mental illness and Amber opens up about her life as his carer.
The Happipreneur
£12.99
The book charts his fascinating life from CEO and global Rockstar of Amway to his off the cuff #MicroBizMatters events. Exposing how business owners are conned out of their money by “industry advisers” and often forced into debt. A modern and up to date take on Small is Beautiful by EF Schumacher.
Both authors agree that no-one can afford to wait for the revolution any more than they can afford to wait for a vaccine. Johnston explained: ‘As business owners, Tony, myself and all our readers have to just get on with it. It is always a rollercoaster and we expect the unexpected.
We hope our guide helps them to avoid the snakes and climb the ladders. Tony’s story of what he has learned from his own businesses and working with many famous entrepreneurs is important for others to know. It is about how to live an enterprising and happy life.
We answer the question ‘How to become a Happipreneur?’. We call out the fakes and the scammers and provide a blueprint for the Establishment on why and how they can level the playing field.” An insight into the life of a man who has dedicated the last 30 years to improving the way MicroBiz owners are treated but is also a no-nonsense guide to avoiding the pitfalls small business owners face.
“Masturbation is good but Musturbation is bad” Albert Ellis describes the three things that hold us back: I must do well. You must treat me well and the world must be easy.
This book is not only an insight into the life of a man who has dedicated the last 30 years to improving the way MicroBiz owners are treated; but is also a no-nonsense guide to avoiding the pitfalls small business owners face. Tony has lived, without a doubt, an incredibly interesting and diverse life, from being the CEO of a huge corporation to almost single-handedly campaigning for the little guy.
With insights from some of the UK’s leading entrepreneurs, you will find information here that many “Gurus” don’t want you to know and that some business advisers will never tell you.
“If you want someone to lie to you, go to some of these motivational speakers, want someone to tell you the truth… go to the “Dickhead” in the red feathered hat.” Brad Burton The UK’s Number one Motivational Speaker
