Reviews
Very much enjoyed turning the pages on this one - a succinct and (very!) honest dose of reality for those who with plans to build, or be part of building, a business. The book cites 75 lessons, but you're left feeling like you've taken that little bit extra away too - the way the author humanises the journey through anecdotes is relatable, and leaves you thinking that you've been on the journey too. A particularly engaging writing style.
A must read, and I hope that there will be another release soon (?)!
Very practical tips from a serial entrepreneur who has been through the journey and converted his experience to short, useful and relevant tips which one can utilize in their own entrepreneurial journey. The book can be used as a blueprint through which we can navigate the startup setup starting from the basic ideation, sales target setting, funding and much more. With 75 practical lessons this book is high on information and advice and the style of writing on a one to one basis makes it an easy book to digest in a 1-2 straight sitting. Highly recommended both as a guide and a practical book on entreprenuership.
