Farrell's first book, Searching For The Spirit Of Enterprise (1993), established him as an international authority on entrepreneurship and high growth companies. His next book, The Entrepreneurial Age (2001), expanded upon that original theme into how the power of entrepreneurship can be harnessed by companies, governments and individuals to compete and prosper in the 21st century. Getting Entrepreneurial! (2003), his third book, is an application-driven guide for "the 70 percent of the workforce who dream of someday creating and running their own businesses." The New Entrepreneurial Age (2011), is an up-to-the-minute accounting of everything the firm has learned about helping people, companies, and governments use the economic power of entrepreneurship.
His most recent book is The Entrepreneurial Attitude (2018), a landmark work on youth entrepreneurship, highlighting interviews with 70 successful Junior Achievement alumni around the world, from Steve Case and Sanjay Gupta to Donna Shalala and MP David Lammy in the UK. It illustrates for the first time that being entrepreneurial is the key to success in any career, in any field: business start-ups, large corporations, social enterprises, the traditional professions like medicine and law, government or even the arts.
The firm's training and consulting services are based on its original research into the high-growth business practices of the world's great entrepreneurs. Its flagship Corporate Entrepreneurship Seminars and Entrepreneurial Age Keynotes have been delivered to corporate clients in 40 countries, across nine languages.
