Shaa Wasmund & Richard Newton 
Stop Talking, Start Doing 
A Kick in the Pants in Six Parts

There’s never been a better time, or a more urgent time, to
start doing the things you want to do.

Perhaps you feel your career is stuck in a rut – or maybe
you’re in the wrong job altogether. Or maybe you have a great
business idea but something is stopping you from actually getting
started. You may already be running a business but struggling to
get to it to where you want it to be. Or perhaps you just want to
be more successful in general – without knowing exactly what
your vision of success is – yet!

If you want to do something but secretly fear you’re never
going to do it, whatever that might be, then this will help
you.

Stop Talking, Start Doing is a short, clear and
cleverly illustrated book that will inspire you to take action.
Whatever you want to achieve, this is the kick in the pants
you need to get to where you truly want to be.

It’s great that you know you can do more, but just
thinking about it, won’t make it happen. It’s doing
that makes the difference. DO IT. If you’ve got
something you want to do… now is a good time to
start.

A graduate of The London School of Economics, Sháá
Wasmund’s entrepreneurial career had an unusual start. At 22
she won a competition to interview Super Middleweight boxing champ
Chris Eubank and ended up helping to promote his next fight to a
sell-out 48, 000 live crowd and an 18 million TV audience.
Sháá remains an ardent boxing fan.

Shortly after she set up her own PR and marketing company and won
the then relatively unknown vacuum cleaner company Dyson as one of
her first clients. Working alongside Sir James Dyson helping to
establish Dyson as a global brand taught Sháá more about
business than any MBA. To this day, Sháá credits James as
being one her biggest sources of inspiration.
