‘From Working Class to Business Class: A Young Entrepreneur's Journey' by Stuart Maitland

In a world of Dragons and Apprentices, Stuart Maitland offers first class schooling in how to make your business brilliant in his new book

Stuart Maitland's new book details his fast and aggressive journey to the upper echelons of British entrepreneurs and offers insight into how this incredible level of success could be replicated by driven, young entrepreneurs - regardless of your age or background. ‘From Working Class To Business Class' covers a number of important ‘how to' strategies including:

• How to discover if you have what it takes to become an entrepreneur

• How to identify your niche and your marketplace

• How to create your own opportunities

• The magic ingredient in your business

• How to identify your real strengths - and identify what you need to work on!

• How to find start-up finance

• How to create a 'dragon friendly' business plan

• How to give the perfect pitch.

Stuart is endorsed by leading entrepreneurs such as Charlie Mullins who described this book as an "essential piece of reconnaissance for any young business general setting out to conquer the market".

Stuart's business record at such a young age (he is 23) is impeccable and unparalleled in the UK. This first book, written by Stuart Maitland and published by Filament Publishing, examines how he managed his meteoric rise and what tools, skills and experiences are required to replicate it.

About the author

Stuart's determination, persistence and hard work have meant he rose to the top of all the business he worked with. He completed the Young Enterprise Programme in 2011 and impressed the chairman so much that he was asked to stay on as a student ambassador, before he rose and became Chairman for Young Enterprise for the Central North London group.

After this Stuart established his own brand, the Maitland group (of which he is CEO), which includes a property management and investment business with offices in Canary Wharf and Glasgow. He also supports the Peter Jones Enterprise Academies throughout the UK. Stuart is a role model example of what persistence and hard work can achieve, and is regularly called upon by local and central government for input on entrepreneurship and how to shape the future for young entrepreneurs.
