let's start up with this one

i can't appreciate it enough to express my feelings for the book! awesome. like the narrative says, it seems like to be a manual for all startup entrepreneurs.

i majored in MBA program but until mow, i did not meet with what was necessary for me like this.

i strongly recommend this title of book for every one who dreams start his business for himself to make something different from others to succeed.

good luck 👍

thanks 😊
God bless you all

Great info!!!

This guide is very well put together. I love the fact that there is so much information that is applicable to today’s start up companies. Great read.

Treasure trove of practical information

This book was perhaps the most informative no-nonsense book out there on starting a successful startup . It’ll act as my north star in the very near future.

No BS in this one! Perfect!

Hard to read, but remember - this is a manual full of canvas to use. It will not be a start-up "mentality / go get it" BS book. I will use all the info from this book during my new company creation.

I love how in-depth he goes.

I love how in-depth he goes, it is not your typical book, it's intricate, you blink and you miss out on a lot of information. Definitely not a "one weekend read" type of book, you have to take your time with it and keep reffering back to it because there is no way you can absorb all he was saying in a couple of days or weeks!
