A Bipolar's Guide To Entrepreneurship

A Bipolar’s Guide to Entrepreneurship: The Only Business Book Where the CEO Might Be Wearing Pajamas

Ever tried running a business while your brain is running a three-ring circus? Meet Sophia Cross: serial entrepreneur, mental health advocate, and the only person you know who’s accidentally imported more hamsters than office supplies.

This isn’t your typical “how to succeed in business” guide. Sophia’s entrepreneurial journey features:

• A printing shop empire that lasted three months (and two family interventions)
• A consignment clothing business where she became her own best customer (her closet still hasn’t recovered)
• Impulse-buying exotic snakes (Customs was not amused)
• And a brief, disastrous reign as Miss Sophia, Queen of the Glitter Glue (her kindergarten students are still in therapy)

Set against the backdrop of Filipino family chaos and Manila traffic, this memoir is for anyone who’s ever pitched a genius idea at 3 a.m. and wanted to hide under a blanket by 3 p.m. With self-deprecating humor and unfiltered honesty, Sophia proves you don’t have to be “normal” to build a business-just resourceful, a little bit reckless, and ready to laugh at your own disasters.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your quirks could be your greatest business asset, or if you just need proof that someone else’s life is messier than yours, this book is your permission slip to embrace the chaos, survive the setbacks, and maybe even thrive-one impulsive decision at a time.

Warning: May cause sudden urges to start a business, adopt a hamster, or finally laugh at your own spectacular failures. The circus is in town, and you’re invited-just remember to take intermissions.
