So true and so so so energising

This book will help you refresh yourself and offer new insight into the struggles that all of us "upstartups" face. I hope it helps you stay on course as it has helped me and my organisations.

The Best of HBR on the Subject

This book is really a compilation of Harvard Business Review articles on the subject of entrepreneurship. As with all HBR articles, these are quite informative. That being said, different chapters will appeal to different readers, depending if you are a practicing entrepreneur, business school student, or academic observer of entrepreneurship. Since I am primarily a practicing entrepreneur, my favorite chapters are those written by Amir Bhide: The Questions Every Entrepreneur Must Answer, How Entrepreneurs Craft Strategies That Work, and Bootstrap Finance: The Art of Start-Ups. All of these chapters are especially well-written and convey practical information that will enhance the likelihood of success for any start-up entrepreneur. The legendary venture capitalist Arthur Rock also contributes a chapter that contains valuable information. While this book may not be a primary reference or source of inspiration for practicing entrepreneurs, it makes for some excellent complementary reading. Steven K.

The most important handbook for entrepreneurs

As an entrepreneur with varying degree of success and failure, I found this book to be the most accurate writing on the subject. If I could read this book many years ago, I would have avoided many expensive mistakes. If you are looking to become an entrepreneur, or if you are are already one, I strongly recommend you read this book--and take notes because virtually everthing in this book applies to every entrepreneur. This is a must read for every business person.
