A text book for serious entrepreneurs

This guy knows the art and science of entrepreneurship. I took notes. Mind blown. I am now sharing this book with all my entrepreneur friends.

The ultimate cheat sheet to being a successful entrepreneur

There’s honestly nothing better than listening to an audiobook, read by the author. There’s a level of soothing listening to Mr. Distante share his life’s story that makes you want to keep listening just to hear what he has to say next.

There’s also the added benefit of the information being absolutely on point, coherent, and incredibly easy to understand, no matter your level in the entrepreneurial journey.

I will say that this audiobook works best when paired with the hard copy, as it opens up a whole new experience that brings you deeper into the amazing journey of entrepreneurship, by expanding on the ideas in the chapters, bringing in other experts in their respective fields, and allowing you to fine tune the experience to your particular situations.

Never would I have expected a book about financing your business to be so in depth, immersive, and mindset-altering, but here we are. These aren’t wild theories. This is the real deal, and I highly, highly recommend this to every entrepreneur, no matter their experience, industry, or success.

An effortless education for founders, investors and dreamers.

Finally! A book on investing written by an investor that won't put you to sleep. I love Steve's writing and teaching style, which blends real people and real business examples with principles that feel evergreen, even in a world of massive change and volatility when it comes to raising capital and funding new ideas. I feel like any founder or investor at any stage of experience will benefit from this multivitamin of a book.
