Book excerpt: “If I was going to start a new business today I would be sure to study and pay close attention to Kevin Ready’s new book, Startup. His wisdom, experience, and his self-effacing and honest writing make this a real gem for aspiring entrepreneurs and business people of all kinds.” —Bob Beaudine, author of The Power of WHO Startup: An Insider's Guide to Launching and Running a Business is for people who are excellent at something—product or web development, writing code, marketing or selling anything—but who are now toiling for others. Yet they have long had a dream: to take that special skill set and use it, on their own terms, in a startup business. This pattern is romanticized by the media in the form of the “tech entrepreneur”—the guy brainstorming with buddies in a garage who ends up selling his startup for millions. But what is the reality behind stories like that one? For that matter, what mental processes, frames of reference, hard knocks, and lessons learned make up the “back story” behind any startup success? This book not only reveals the actual experience of entrepreneurship, but it provides readers with a set of universal entrepreneurial skills and tools they can use to build a business. Author Kevin Ready has made this journey, and more than once. He earned his MBA—Master of Bruise Acquisition—through numerous encounters with “situations,” problems, black holes, bad employees, sea monsters, not enough money, and other karate chops to the organizational body. Startup illustrates in detail the lessons he learned the hard way—so you don’t have to. Backed up by stories of both his successes and failures, Ready helps readers learn shortcuts to help them do what eight out of 10 entrepreneurs can’t: Build and sustain a successful start-up. Illustrates the entrepreneurial journey from start to finish Helps readers decide—or not—to start a business Provides dozens of lessons learned and other takeaways budding entrepreneurs can put to use today

Book excerpt: Discover how to start a business with this POWERFUL guide by your side How to start a business without any money is a practical step-by-step guide to building a business from the ground up with a view to safety and prudence. Many blow their working capital only to have to start again with none, or never again. So why not start with no cash as the author did as a teenager and then build a multi-million, international business from scratch. It can be done, the author has done it and more than once. A boot camp for entrepreneurs The book starts with the core principle of focusing on customer needs and raising capital by selling customers what they want to buy. A series of simple strategies for achieving this are presented. Focus on short-term goals leads to long-term objectives being achieved. Chances are, from what you learn, objectives will change in any case and more opportunities will be uncovered than expected. That's all in chapter one. The critical concept of time and money Chapter two introduces the concepts of time and money as they pertain to business and how business life operates in real-time, even though our brains run and at 120 miles per hour. Chapter three continues the theme by expanding on the benefits of the discipline of no money down. Small hinges swing big doors Chapter four is all about the strategy of taking small steps and how they can turn into big leaps. To make profits, that is exactly how a business needs to operate. Next, in Chapter five, all this small thinking does not stop you from scaling up fast and if you hit on a golden seam, you will already be best placed to do it and not over-committed in the wrong areas, a big mistake many make to be avoided. Full of sales strategies The remaining chapters focus on sales strategies, what, when, and how. There is also a big focus on the service business which is an ideal area to start up a business without any significant capital requirement. Full of universal growth hacks Throughout the chapters, you will find tips, ideas, and universal growth hacks. The growth hacks are recounted in the penultimate chapter and expanded on to provide a wider context to give you more ideas for how you can take them and apply them to your business. This book provides all you need to develop a business from scratch and grow it, based on the practical experience of a serial entrepreneur who rolls his sleeves up for you and lets you in, behind the scenes and shows you how it is done. To be certain of success you need a copy of this book at your side. Scroll up and select 'Add to cart'

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Get the real guidance you need to create and build your first startup company from founders who have been there many times before. The first run printing of The Startup Playbook SOLD OUT! So, we revised, expanded, and improved this second edition, including a new foreword by Brad Feld, author of Venture Deals. We still give our personal, how-to guide for building your startup from the ground up. You'll find a collection of the major lessons and shortcuts we've learned that will shift the odds in your favor. We're sharing our tips, secrets, and advice in a frank, founder-to-founder discussion with you. We make no bones about our bias. We're on your side, the founder's side. While venture capitalists, investors, and accelerators/incubators can add great value in the startup ecosystem, this book isn't about their points of view. We'll tell you where our interests as founders diverge from those on the other side of the table—investors, bankers, advisors, board members, and others—and what to do when that happens. The Startup Playbook is not a recipe, it's not a template, it's not a list of tasks to do. It's our insider's guide to starting a company and running it successfully in those critical early months. Between us, we've started over a dozen high-tech software companies and raised over $500 million in investment capital. We've acquired over thirty-five companies, had three of our startups go public, sold six of them, and we made billions of dollars for shareholders. We've also invested in over eighty startups, advised and mentored over two hundred companies and actively worked with venture capitalists (VCs), incubators, and accelerators to help launch many other new startups. We've had plenty of failures, too. And we've probably learned more from those than from the successes. We share those lessons as well. The Startup Playbook is full of our advice, guidance, do's, and don'ts from our years of experience as founders many times. We want to share our hard-earned knowledge with you to make success easier for you to achieve. "This book is extraordinarily fresh and exciting. In an accessible, straight talk fashion, this book is a manual, and an inspiration. The Startup Playbook is smart and avoids the 'I am so smart' over-writing endemic to the genre. Read this as it is presented. You'll be doing yourself a tremendous favor." —Amazon Reviewer
