About this audiobook
The Long Road Between an Idea and a Living is a deeply human, reflective audiobook about entrepreneurship as it is truly lived, not as it is often advertised. Through five thoughtfully crafted chapters, the book explores the emotional, psychological, and practical realities of building something from nothing. It moves from the quiet dissatisfaction that sparks an idea, through uncertainty, ownership, growth, and finally toward legacy and meaning. Rather than offering formulas or hype, it presents entrepreneurship as a personal journey shaped by doubt, resilience, responsibility, and values. With concrete examples, honest insight, and a strong personal voice, this book speaks to anyone who has ever questioned stability, chased purpose, or wondered what it really takes to build a life through work that matters.
