“What If? & Why Not?” By Jen Groover


 Jen Groover





In the inspiring book, “What If? & Why Not?” empowerment and business expert, entrepreneur and inventor of the popular Butler Bag by Jen Groover shows readers how to transform their fears into action by rethinking the negative questions that can lead to failure before even getting started. “What If? & Why Not?” is available in hardcover for $24.99 online at www.jengroover.com and at book stores nationwide. The Kindle edition is available for $11.99 online at www.amazon.com.



Being an entrepreneur, Groover says, is not just about selling a product. It is about personal growth—about taking your vision and bringing it to fruition, and about always pushing yourself to take that vision further. What gets in your way is not the money you don’t have, or what you don’t know about the industry you want to get into—it is believing you cannot do it, that you do not have the power or the resources you need to make your dream into a reality.



Groover walks readers step by step through ten negative “What If?” questions—What if I don’t know what I’m doing? What if I don’t have the money? What if I fail?—and how to turn them around by asking yourself: What if I can learn? What if I don’t need much money? What if I succeed? She also asks “What Not?”: Why not find a mentor or take a class? Why not ask for investors? Why not try?



With dozens of personal stories from successful entrepreneurs in areas as diverse as dog walking and handbag-invention, plus practical advice for every step of your journey, What If? and Why Not? is the most complete guide available to help you you start the business of your dreams.
