To some, the idea of quitting their day job to start a business is exhilarating. For others, it’s terrifying. After all, a job that produces a steady paycheck can be difficult to give up.

Whether you just want to make some extra money, or start something that may end up replacing your day job entirely, the side hustle is the new job security. When you generate income from multiple sources, it gives you options, and in today’s world, options aren't just nice to have: they're essential. You don’t need entrepreneurial experience to launch a profitable side hustle. You don’t need a business degree, know how to code, or be an expert marketer. And you certainly don’t need employees or investors. With this book as your guide, anyone can learn to build a fast track to freedom.

Although the answers to these questions vary depending on the business, there are a set of key activities that all businesses must accomplish to get their businesses off to a good (and legally proper) start. This book provides examples that include securing proper business licenses and permits; setting up a bookkeeping system; negotiating a lease; buying insurance; entering into contracts with vendors; recruiting and hiring employees; and making the first sale. Broader issues such as developing a business model and building a brand will also be touched upon, but the primary focus of this book is getting you focused on the practical issues that you’ll need, as a new business owner, to accomplish, and accomplish correctly, and to get your business off to a good start. To help you prioritize and track the activities that must be completed at the onset of a business, this book will teach you how to set up a “First 100 Days Plan,” with the template (titled First 100 Days Plan) included in this book.

Book excerpt: Now available in paperback—with a new preface and interview with Jessica Livingston about Y Combinator! Founders at Work: Stories of Startups' Early Days is a collection of interviews with founders of famous technology companies about what happened in the very earliest days. These people are celebrities now. What was it like when they were just a couple friends with an idea? Founders like Steve Wozniak (Apple), Caterina Fake (Flickr), Mitch Kapor (Lotus), Max Levchin (PayPal), and Sabeer Bhatia (Hotmail) tell you in their own words about their surprising and often very funny discoveries as they learned how to build a company. Where did they get the ideas that made them rich? How did they convince investors to back them? What went wrong, and how did they recover? Nearly all technical people have thought of one day starting or working for a startup. For them, this book is the closest you can come to being a fly on the wall at a successful startup, to learn how it's done. But ultimately these interviews are required reading for anyone who wants to understand business, because startups are business reduced to its essence. The reason their founders become rich is that startups do what businesses do—create value—more intensively than almost any other part of the economy. How? What are the secrets that make successful startups so insanely productive? Read this book, and let the founders themselves tell you.

Book excerpt: Launching a business may seem like no easy task. It can seem completely bewildering, overwhelming, almost impossible. Where do you even start? And once you start, what do you do next? With this remarkable book, the impossible is possible. If you have an idea, a spark of a dream, but you're stalling on how to make it a reality, then this book will show you how to do so--one day at a time. There are so many young, hungry entrepreneurs in this world waiting for their big break. The simple secret that most of them haven't discovered is that while they have an insatiable appetite to perfect their idea or product before launching, the real progress only comes one way: by doing the work. A goal without a detailed plan is just a dream, one that will probably turn into a nightmare. This process will help you define your goals and create a plan to see them to fruition. Rick's philosophy for business is quite simple: granular changes every day--hitting singles instead of finding yourself at home plate, in the bottom of the ninth, with two outs and the do-or- die pressure to hit a grand slam. This book is a start-up boot camp. Should you choose to accept this mission, you will spend the next thirty days jump-starting your business. Are you willing to take massive action, ready to make mistakes, fail forward fast, and start taking control of your own life? If so, it's thirty days - let's do this!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reveals how to build your own successful business with just one task a day for 90 days without quitting your job.Are you frustrated with your job and lifestyle because career success and consumption have not led to happiness as promised? You want to jump off the hamster wheel and become your own boss, but don ́t know how?The processes and principles in this book will set you on the path to a fulfilling and autonomous life with just one task a day. Reignite your passion and exercise your hidden talents to earn your living doing something that doesn't feel like work because it makes you happy.Moritz Gomm is a business startup expert who successfully blazed his own trail from a burned-out consultant to an inspired entrepreneur who relishes the freedom and fun he experiences at work every day.This practical guide is bursting at the seams with tips & tricks. Stories from successful entrepreneurs provide motivation and courage: From a yoga studio and restaurants to online businesses, from ashop to daycare"Moritz Gomm is a proven expert for business startups. With his wealth of experience as a coach, he helps founders to success in a goal-oriented way." (Fabrizio Ferrandina, CEO of the Zühlke Technology Group)"With the 90-Day Program, the dream of owning your own company can be realized step by step. Highly recommended for all future founders!" (Prof. Oliver Gassmann, Institute for Technology Management, University of St. Gallen, Switzerland)The 90-day coaching is a practice-oriented instruction to make your dream of independence a reality with only one step per day. You will very soon feel what it is like to be independent and will thus also determine in the 90 days whether self-employment is right for you or not.My goal is that you become more satisfied and happier with your lifestyle, your family and partnership, your job - and with yourself. This book and the coaching are therefore "life advisor" and "founding guide" at the same time.This book is for everyone who is thinking about becoming self-employed. But I developed the concept especially for people who have little time and/or money: EMPLOYEES, who have an idea, which they want to realize gladly, but are professionally strongly clamped and do not dare (yet) to quit their job. Employees often want to change into self-employment because they are dissatisfied with their current job or do not consider it reasonable, because they suffer from an unpleasant company culture or have conflicts with superiors or team members. Others want to do something completely different after many years of professional career because they are not happy with their current job despite the success. Such things often happen in the middle of life - for good reason, as we will see later.MOTHERS and FATHERS who are either part-time or not working at all. Here the motivation is often to stand on their own feet again professionally. As I know myself as a father of two small children, parents are faced with a challenge: to become independent takes time, but the family should not suffer.UNEMPLOYED: I am convinced that the 90-day coaching also helps all those people who have too much time at their disposal because they are unemployed. Because the coaching process gives meaning and a clear structure to everyday life: every day brings a clear and feasible task to gradually reach the goal: to find a job that you love and that will bring in enough money for life.

Download or read book The First 20 Hours written by Josh Kaufman and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2013-06-13 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forget the 10,000 hour rule— what if it’s possible to learn the basics of any new skill in 20 hours or less? Take a moment to consider how many things you want to learn to do. What’s on your list? What’s holding you back from getting started? Are you worried about the time and effort it takes to acquire new skills—time you don’t have and effort you can’t spare? Research suggests it takes 10,000 hours to develop a new skill. In this nonstop world when will you ever find that much time and energy? To make matters worse, the early hours of practicing something new are always the most frustrating. That’s why it’s difficult to learn how to speak a new language, play an instrument, hit a golf ball, or shoot great photos. It’s so much easier to watch TV or surf the web . . . In The First 20 Hours, Josh Kaufman offers a systematic approach to rapid skill acquisition— how to learn any new skill as quickly as possible. His method shows you how to deconstruct complex skills, maximize productive practice, and remove common learning barriers. By completing just 20 hours of focused, deliberate practice you’ll go from knowing absolutely nothing to performing noticeably well. Kaufman personally field-tested the methods in this book. You’ll have a front row seat as he develops a personal yoga practice, writes his own web-based computer programs, teaches himself to touch type on a nonstandard keyboard, explores the oldest and most complex board game in history, picks up the ukulele, and learns how to windsurf. Here are a few of the simple techniques he teaches: Define your target performance level: Figure out what your desired level of skill looks like, what you’re trying to achieve, and what you’ll be able to do when you’re done. The more specific, the better. Deconstruct the skill: Most of the things we think of as skills are actually bundles of smaller subskills. If you break down the subcomponents, it’s easier to figure out which ones are most important and practice those first. Eliminate barriers to practice: Removing common distractions and unnecessary effort makes it much easier to sit down and focus on deliberate practice. Create fast feedback loops: Getting accurate, real-time information about how well you’re performing during practice makes it much easier to improve. Whether you want to paint a portrait, launch a start-up, fly an airplane, or juggle flaming chainsaws, The First 20 Hours will help you pick up the basics of any skill in record time . . . and have more fun along the way.
