Would you like to know the six strategies to help you decide ‘if’ you should get out of the rat race, and ‘when’ you should get out of the rat race?
On this week’s episode of Escape The Rat Race Radio, I’m very pleased to welcome an inspirational speaker that turns everyday people into Entrepreneurs, Junior Ogunyemi.
Junior coaches and inspires people to become successful entrepreneurs, and is the Founder of Entrepower - a monthly mastermind in London which brings aspiring Entrepreneurs together to learn from one another without being sold to.
Whilst at university, he was making headlines for launching many successful ventures and became a multi-award winning business starlet. Due to the remarkable social impact of his success story, a publishing company approached Junior to write a book. At age 21 he became the best-selling author of the highly influential book, “How to be a Student Entrepreneur”.

Through his online resources he is now showing people across the globe, simple practical strategies so they can make it happen for themselves.
