Entrepreneurship knowledge

[pamar2005]

Just finished to read UNSCRIPTED , literally jaw-dropping. One question came to my mind, and I hope that @MJ DeMarco or any expert in the entrepreneurship can help with this. The question is this: how and where did you acquire your entrepreneurship knowledge? Did you just learnt through the process of having a business? What are the most important things to familiarize with before opening a business? I ask this because so many people are stuck in this indecisivness fase and simply don't know if they need to learn something before opening their own business or they have to just start by knowing nothing. Thanks to everyone.

seems like most people learn through a combination of reading and doing.

reading is good because you're learning from other people's experiences. reading only tells you what to do but you have to go out and make some attemps to improve your entrepreneurial skills

Step 1: Read all notable threads. This is essential. The people on there are no joke.
Step 2: Don't get sucked into action faking. Doing beats excessive planning, finding "the next big thing", trend hopping, ideas but no application, getting an LLC without a client.
Step 3: Switch on your problem radar. Someone complains? Whines? Gets Frustrated? Listen. Something you find annoying and cant find a solution? Make it. Prototype it. Test it. Fail.

Some stuff I've found helpful.

I'm guessing you're 17? Great age to start man. The gym is a god send if you havent started it yet.
