Easy read packed with helpful info for getting started
I breezed through this book in just a few hours and felt that I got a lot out of it. It's written in a very accessible, friendly, and encouraging tone which makes you want to keep reading. Every chapter sparked an idea or thought about starting a business that I hadn't previously had, so I had to keep a notebook near to write it all down! After finishing, I feel like I have a much better grasp on what it takes to be a "founder," and how to think about the process of starting a startup. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who has dreamed of being a founder / entrepreneur but hasn't taken the leap yet!
