5 Books Every Entrepreneur Must Read
“I’m thinking about starting a business but I’m not sure how to go about it.” I hear this phrase quite often these days. People who find themselves out of a job and contemplating starting a new business, or those who are trying to pursue their dreams, often find themselves at the brink of a new venture not knowing what to do next. In my experience most new businesses fail not because of lack of talent, work ethic or drive. I have seen a lot of hard-working, talented people fail because they don’t understand the “business” part of their craft.
Figuring out how to deliver a great product is only part of your business dilemma. You need to understand concepts like scalability, sustainability, and cash-flow management. While those things might not be the “sexy” part of you do, they are vital to its survival.
