Brian Smith's story as the founder of the world-renowned UGG Australia brand is a roadmap to success - with achievements, failures, lucky breaks and near disasters.

Brian's guiding principle is "you can't give birth to adults". Every company is conceived as an idea and birthed into reality, and the baby business grows through its infancy, toddler years, early youth, and tumultuous teens, to eventually arrive at maturity.

For those who have yet to set their dreams into action or those already on the rocky road to success, this book is a candid, colourful, outrageous, enlightening adventure in product development, worldwide brand recognition, and star-struck fame and fortune.

A mentor and advocate to business leaders and entrepreneurs, Brian shares his decades of experience and wisdom and shows how you can find your passion and follow it to a rewarding, happy, fulfilling life - and still grow a wildly successful career and company.

Witness the birth of a brand, the sale of a lifetime, and the making of a legend - then kick-start your own entrepreneurial revolution with lessons they don't teach you in business school.

Because Brian Smith is one of them, he feels the fears and frustrations they feel, he has faced the tough decisions they will face.

"Put simply, this grippingly powerful book is required reading for all entrepreneurs, especially those struggling in the infancy stage of business where most people tend to give up. Brian is a true trailblazer in the world of entrepreneurship he copied no one, learned as he went, and triumphed over great adversity. The Birth of a Brand is a tried-and-true, must-read roadmap for growing a thriving enterprise and Brian s description of the seven stages of the business lifecycle will forever illuminate the way you think about your business."
