Never Enough

From Barista to Billionaire

By: Andrew Wilkinson

Narrated by: Luke Daniels

"Like going to business school and therapy all in one book."
—James Clear, New York Times Bestselling Author, Atomic Habits

Once a barista in a small cafe making $6.50 an hour, Andrew Wilkinson built a business valued at over a billion dollars by the time he was 36—and yet, his path to success was anything but a straight line.

In Never Enough, Wilkinson pulls back the curtain on the lives of the ultra-rich, sharing insights into building a successful business that has been called a “Berkshire Hathaway, but for internet companies,” and a surprising first-person account of what it's actually like to become a billionaire.

Never Enough features both the lessons Wilkinson has learned as well as the many mistakes made on the road to wealth—some of which cost him money, happiness, and important relationships.

Taking a "no secrets" approach to stories the wealthy rarely reveal, Wilkinson is unwaveringly honest about some of the unexpected downsides of money: its toxic effect on personal relationships, how the lifestyles of the rich and famous aren't all they're cracked up to be, and how competition with peers leaves everyone—even billionaires—feeling like they never have enough.

In this book, you'll discover:

• A candid glimpse into the lives of the super-rich and what truly matters beyond money
• Insights on building a successful business from the ground up
• Lessons learned from the mistakes made on the journey to his fortune
• The surprising realities of life as a billionaire and the challenges that come with extreme wealth

In this rare and deeply honest account, Wilkinson examines his journey to nine zeros, what came after that pinnacled number, and the essential things money can't buy.

Protect the beginning

I see a pattern in this book and others like How to Get Rich. They started with their passion for what they do but then from fear, insecurity, and some level of greed their passion becomes this management monster they weren't aware of. Their new business is to enjoy the passion or the beginnings again. I am in this phase now, my passion is successful and growing. I am reaching a point where I can scale rapidly to grow wealth or take a slower road. I do this to keep what I love and have freedom with my family. Thank you Andrew for giving insight what is worth it and what is not. Slow wealth with happiness.

Incredible “no BS” read… thank you!

Sincere, thoughtful, and inspirational. Thanks for sharing your story, and it helped me reframe how I think about wealth.

An epic entrepreneurial journey

Andrew’s storytelling had me hooked. Fascinating to learn about his and Chris’ experiences unlocking every next level of success, and all the trials and tribulations along the way. The journey and challenges were both relatable and inspiring. I only wish Andrew recorded the audiobook himself :)

Fantastic! I absolutely loved it

Fantastic story from a successful, young entrepreneur, who made it to the top and cared enough to share his personal insights, feelings and experiences with others - the ultimate way of giving.

The narration was great, although I would also appreciate to hear it directly from Andrew. The way he tells his story on podcasts feels incredibly authentic and down to earth, and strikes in a different way

Thoughtful and fun listen

At first I wasn’t sure about the narrator but by chapter 2 I was hooked.

A thoughtful and honest story of Andrew’s rise to becoming a young billionaire.

Inspirational and uplifting. If you’re an entrepreneur or want to start your own business this is an excellent choice. Likewise if you’re just interested in ridiculously wealthy people, you’ve found it.

Excellent

Seems like a humble guy. Love hearing these winning stories. Would love to see a follow up book to this.

Instant Classic!

I love the raw and authentic honesty and storytelling of this book. Having the author read the book made it even better. A must read for every entrepreneur!

Great book and narrator

Well written and informative book with life lessons and real life scenarios in a storybook-like format. I looked forward to the next chapters the entire time.

A Billionaire’s Self Reflection

Interesting to hear how Andrew navigated business life, got lucky and reflected on daily challenges while exploring the how and why. I now understand why Shaan and Sam speak so highly of Andrew’s work and successes. Great listen or read for everyone wanting to gain a new perspective on building and overcoming.

Beautiful, inspiring, captivating.

Thank you, Andrew. I took a lot from this great book of yours. Already implementing!
