About this ebook

Writer, consultant and speaker Chris Rabb coined the term "invisible capital" to represent the unseen forces that dramatically impact entrepreneurial viability when a good attitude, a great idea, and hard work simply aren't enough.



In his book, Invisible Capital: How Unseen Forces Shape Entrepreneurial Opportunity, Rabb puts forth concrete and effective ways entrepreneurs and their advocates can build and grow sustainable enterprises amid these unseen forces created by society's uneven playing field.



By honoring democratic ideals, challenging assumptions, and reframing how success is defined, Rabb illuminates the promise of commonwealth entrepreneurship. This compelling and often counter-intuitive book illustrates how broad and meaningful entrepreneurial opportunity benefits not just individual entrepreneurs, but local communities and society at large.

    A good book to add on entrepreneurship. The author highlights the need to recognise that invisible capital (family background, education, physical appearance, network etc) are just as important if not more than financial capital. But a seemingly 'disadvantageous' background could be advantageous depending on what you want to do. eg A man is disadvantaged should he wish to set up a day care centre. Understanding invisible capital (invisible only because we don't recognise them as capital) can help to create a level playing field for entrepreneurs. This book contains a lot of statistical data which can slow down reading and has several thought provoking concepts such as commonwealth entrepreneurship which redefines the meaning of success and failure.

    Anyone who is thinking of starting a business should read this book. It lays out facts in a manner that is easy to understand and really hits home. In a world where it seems like money is the determining factor for nearly everything, this book provides a fresh set of eyes. If you are thinking of starting a business, you need to understand what other capital you have that may make you more or less successful. This book should be part of every entrepreneurship program.
