The most powerful way to make forgotten dreams come true

The book "What's Your Dream," which was published in the UK in January 2025 and immediately rose to the top of the Amazon and Sunday Times bestseller lists, changing the lives of countless people, has quickly arrived in Korea.
This is the world's first translation.
The seemingly simple question, “What is your dream?” has a powerful impact in its simple form.
It sounds innocent, but it makes you think deeply, and it seems like a meaningless question, but the moment you answer it, how you are living right now is completely revealed.


The author of this book, Simon Squibb, started his first business at the young age of 15 while living on the streets, and later sold it to one of the world's largest consulting firms for millions of pounds.
He is currently a prominent figure in the UK as a self-made entrepreneur and startup mentor with assets of 880 billion won.


Having invested in over 80 startups over the past 15 years, he has opened up opportunities for more people to achieve their dreams. Through his first book, "What's Your Dream," he shares the experiences and lessons he's learned from his life and business, offering courage and direction to countless people.

The Sun, a leading British media outlet, reviewed the book, saying it was “full of excellent and actionable advice.”
The book doesn't simply awaken dreams that have been pushed to the back of our hearts by indifference and distrust; it unfolds before our eyes a vision that allows us to take the next step.
Not only will he keep you sane and boost your confidence while you're running there, but he'll also provide practical advice based on his own experience, taking you through each step as if he were giving you personal coaching.

“It was like pouring a gallon of rocket fuel into a dream that was once a bonfire,” one Amazon reader commented, demonstrating just how powerful this book is.
Rather than offering quick fixes or simple guidelines for success, this book encourages readers to reflect on their dreams and actively work toward achieving them. It is a must-read for anyone who wants to take charge of their own life's journey.

Into the book
“It’s a really small and unique property, isn’t it?” On my first ever real estate auction day, it wasn’t me who was flustered, but the auctioneer.
The item the auctioneer was about to auction was not a house, office, apartment, or commercial building, but a staircase.
The four-story staircase led to a solitary building, gray inside and out, with narrow walls lined with long glass windows.
The connected buildings were redeveloped, leaving the stairs with nowhere to go, just standing there, waiting for the day they would be demolished.

---From "Introductory Remarks"

Even now, millions of dreams live in people's minds, waiting to be ignited.
These dreams have tremendous potential to transform people's lives for the better.
I just need a little help.
It's the help of someone who believes in that dream.
The reason I'm so confident is because countless people I've met in supermarkets, fast food restaurants, train stations, and construction sites have excitedly told me, a complete stranger, about the brands they want to create, the countries they want to visit, and the changes they want to make in the world.
Dreams of providing shelter for the homeless, supporting cancer patients, and making clothes for people undergoing major surgery.
That doesn't mean they all hate their current lives and what they do.
They just believe that there is something they want to do at least once in their lives.

---From "Introductory Remarks"

'Why does all this matter?', 'Why am I going into such length about dreams and doorbells?' The answer is simple.
Because when you have a dream and a purpose, your life changes.
When you stop blindly following other people's rules, everything starts to make sense.
There's always a reason why you do something, and that's what makes it all worthwhile.
No need to be bound by time anymore.
No more forcing yourself out of bed every morning.
You no longer have to work to make money for others.
Now, the only motivation that matters to you is the motivation that you have inspired yourself.

---From "Introductory Remarks"

When I ask people if they have dreams, I always have a second question prepared.
So, when the other person tells you about their dream, congratulate them first, and then ask them about it.
“But why aren’t you doing that yet?” People come up with all sorts of reasons.
Among them, there were four words that were vividly engraved in my memory.
Usually, he says this in a slightly softer voice than before.
“It might not work.”
---From "Four Misconceptions About Life"

Imagination and dreaming are universal human abilities.
It's not something that can be passed down from generation to generation or requires a college degree.
Anyone can do it.
The only question is whether you are willing to imagine, dream, and follow your dreams wherever they lead.
No matter what situation you are living in, dreams give you a chance to begin.
Because it gives hope for the destination.
Dreams allow us to leverage our remarkable human ability to predict the future to our advantage.
Through dreams we can imagine, hope, and believe.
Could there be a better starting point?
---From "Why Dreams Are Important"

Our lives cannot be exciting every moment.
It's not like I feel a sense of accomplishment every time I send an email or sell something.
The things we have to do to achieve our dreams are usually boring and difficult.
That's just how life is.
No one can escape the reality of having to pay bills, make phone calls, pack lunches, and do laundry.
So we need a purpose.
No matter how boring our current work may be, we can endure it if we are confident that we are pursuing something meaningful.
That way, even if you don't achieve anything or just do boring things all day, you still feel like it was a worthwhile day.
Because I believe that I am one step closer to achieving my goals and, through this, realizing my dreams.

---From "If you have a purpose, your life will change"

The first thing to do is to bring out the hidden failures.
Let's take a closer look at it instead of treating it like we don't want to look at it again.
What went wrong, and why? Was it the idea, the timing, or the choice of partner? Was it the circumstances, or simply bad luck? As you search for the answer, you'll likely discover a much more complex story than you anticipated.
You didn't fail because you were useless or incompetent.
It could be because you made a bad decision, the timing was wrong, or something didn't go as planned.
Most things are better done on the second or third try.

---From "7 Steps to Giving Up on Your Dreams"

In the process, I stumbled upon the question that is absolutely essential to achieving your dreams:
It was a simple question.
'What do I love to do?' It might seem obvious to know the answer.
Because everyone knows what they like and wants to live doing more of what they like.
But unfortunately, that is not the case.
In fact, many people live backwards.
We spend most of our days doing things we don't particularly like, and then we carve out the rest of our time to do things we do like.
They treat things they like as hobbies and take their interests for granted.

---From "3 Questions to Find Your Dream"

The moment we secure our first customer, we gain tremendous confidence.
It makes you see your dreams and yourself in a completely different light.
What was once just an idea suddenly becomes reality.
We no longer become people who want to do things, but people who do them.
We are professionals who get paid to do our work.
And if you can do it once, you can do it again and again.

One of the most important things I can do to help people is to be their first customer.
The amount of money I give is small, but the amount of trust and confidence it conveys is incomparable.
People with dreams have ideas.
But anyone who has customers has already started a business that can make that dream a reality.
It's only one step, but it's the most important and meaningful first step.
---From "How to Build a Ship that Crosses the Sea of ​​Dreams"

Publisher's Review
A 15-year-old boy living on the streets
The one question that transformed him into one of Britain's most successful entrepreneurs and investors!
“What is your dream?”

In the SNS video, a man walks down the street with a microphone, approaching people and asking them if they have dreams.
A passerby who happened to be standing in front of the microphone began to seriously ponder this seemingly simple question, and soon, with an expression of relief, he began to answer about his dream.


The more I met people, the more I became convinced that there were already many people around us who had dreams.
However, they just didn't know how to make that dream come true.
Whether you're afraid to make a bold decision, lack confidence in your abilities, or simply don't know where to start, you're hesitating.


The man in the video asking people about their dreams is the author of this book, Simon Squibb.
Unlike most entrepreneurs, he started his first business at the young age of 15 while living on the streets, and later sold the company he founded to one of the world's largest consulting firms for millions of pounds.
He is currently a prominent figure in the UK as a self-made entrepreneur and startup mentor with assets of 880 billion won.


Having invested in over 80 startups over the past 15 years, he has created opportunities for more people to achieve their dreams. Through his first book, "What's Your Dream," he shares the experiences and lessons he's learned from his life and business, offering courage and direction to countless people.
Furthermore, this book guides readers to discover their true purpose, remove barriers that block them, and ultimately create a more enriching life.


“Is this really all there is to your life?”
Living by someone else's rules,
Let go of living a life to please others.

My commute to work every morning is not enjoyable.
When I think about continuing to live like this, I feel lost.
There is something I've always wanted to do.
I feel like there is a better life than now.
We only live once, so I think I need to muster up the courage and change something now…


If you've had this thought once, or even several times, recently, it's time to ask yourself this question.
“What is my dream?” Simon Squibb walked the streets with a microphone, asking this question to countless people around the world.
And the results were amazing.
People's stiff expressions loosened and they began to talk with excitement, and the dreams were more specific than I had expected.
They just needed a little help.
It's the help of someone who believes in that dream.


Even now, millions of dreams live in people's minds, waiting to be ignited.
These dreams have tremendous potential to transform people's lives for the better.
I just need a little help.
It's the help of someone who believes in that dream.
_From "Introductory Remarks"

If you know what your dream is and live a life striving to make that dream come true, your life will change completely.
When you stop playing by other people's rules, a lot of things start to make sense.
There is no need to doubt why you are doing something or whether it is worth doing.
Because I know that through that work I can get one step closer to the goals I want to achieve and the person I want to be.

Living life my own way is the most freeing and powerful choice I can make.
This becomes clear when we stop trying to please those who are no longer meaningful, or when we stop living our lives according to stereotypical standards.
Throughout this book, Squibb makes this fact clear and guides us to live in a new way.


Not a distant wind, but a tangible reality
The smartest and most enjoyable way to reach your dreams!

Once you realize how powerful dreams are, you must learn how to make them a reality.
If you're having trouble finding your dream, it might be a good idea to start with something you like.
If you don't know your destination, the things you love will act like a compass to show you where to go.
Next, it is also important to know what you dislike.
Just as experiencing sadness allows us to appreciate joy, understanding and accepting negative experiences can strengthen our purpose in life.
Finally, dreams grow only when there are people who empathize with them, find them fun, useful, and valuable.
When you connect your dreams to the world, your life will become incomparably richer than it is now.

Squib transformed this very last process into his own dream.
With a mission to "help 10 million people start their own businesses," he's running a campaign called #GiveWithoutTake to inspire his 9 million+ followers to support each other's dreams.
We also introduce street interviews on social media to help people talk about their dreams, share them, and take action on them.

The important thing in this whole process is to decide everything yourself.
Set your own goals, measure success by your own standards, and take responsibility for yourself and your loved ones.
Let's make this our life goal and start with something we like and are good at.
If you read this book and learn the wisest and most enjoyable ways to approach your dreams, your dreams will no longer be a distant dream but a tangible reality.
