Start Ugly, Finish Strong is a rallying cry for every entrepreneur who's ever waited too long to feel "ready." In this refreshingly honest guide, Joe Ward dismantles the myth of the perfect plan and champions the messy, unpredictable journey that real success demands.

With wit, candour, and battle-tested insight, Ward shows how embracing imperfection—early missteps, awkward launches, half-built ideas—can be your greatest advantage. From scrappy beginnings to bold pivots, this is your permission slip to stop hesitating and start building.

If you're tired of glossy startup stories and craving something real, this book is for you. Because success isn't about starting perfect—it's about refusing to quit.
