The Book in One Sentence
Anything you want teaches you 40 lessons every entrepreneur needs to know before setting up any business starting from being who you are and making your business anything you want without following the rules in the market.
Impressions
This book has completely changed my life in terms of how I thought of business. The authors beginning in 1997 mostly resonated with where I am today and of course the end of the book is what I dream to reach in the next 5 years.
Who should read it?
This book should be a must read for every human who wants to start a business, grow it and get out of it anytime they feel like.
How the book changed me
Biggest change and transformation for me from the book is that execution is key. My execution has been zero to none and I wasted lots of ideas due to the less actions. After reading it, I started setting up execution strategies for whatever idea that came to mind.
My top 3 Quotes
Never forget why you are really doing what you are doing. Are you helping people? Are they happy? Are you happy? Are you profitable? Isn’t that enough?
Most people don’t know why they are doing what they are doing. They imitate others, go with the flow and follow paths without making their own.
Don’t be on your deathbed someday, having squandered your one chance at life, full of regret because you pursued little distractions instead of big dreams.
My top 3 Lessons
Rule number 1 of service business, care about your customers more than about yourself, and you will do well.
Know your personal philosophy. Whatever you make, it’s your creation, so make it your personal dream come true.
Do what makes you happy and don’t imitate others. Keep inventing and improving and learn to switch when it is not a hit.
