I am reading this book now.... and I see that many of the things in this book are similar to my perception of entrepreneurship and starting up a business. More over, I was always moving in this direction. I was trying to come up with some ideas about what people really need and build something new around this in parallel with my full time job.
Just one more thing that I waned to add.
The book is really cool and it resonates with my own views. The only thing is I didn't find much in the book about the social part... there is a chapter about immersing yourself into the right environment and mingling among right people… but I think the meaning of your social skills and connections for starting up a successful business may even outweigh hardworking, brilliant idea and implementation.
Most of the existing successful businesses were created by several people. So you definitely need to have business partners. They would help you shape your idea, stimulate and motivate you all the way long. There are also lots of businesses that were based when someone pitched his/her idea to people with money or connections...Out of my experience all my successful ventures were done together with my friends or people that I knew.
