Download or read book The Unicorn s Shadow written by Ethan Mollick and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2020-06-23 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bringing hard data to the way we think about entrepreneurial success, this bold call to action draws on the latest scientific evidence to dispel the most pervasive startup myths and light a path to entrepreneurship for those eclipsed by the hype. When you think of a successful entrepreneur, who comes to mind? Bill Gates? Mark Zuckerberg? Or maybe even Jesse Eisenberg, the man who played Zuckerberg in The Social Network? It may surprise you that most successful founders look very different from Zuckerberg or Gates. In fact, most startup origin stories are very different from the famous "unicorns" that have achieved valuations of over $1 billion, from Facebook to Google to Uber. In The Unicorn's Shadow: Combating the Dangerous Myths that Hold Back Startups, Founders, and Investors, Wharton School professor Ethan Mollick takes us to the forefront of an empirical revolution in entrepreneurship. New data and better research methods have overturned the conventional wisdom behind what a successful founder looks like, how they succeed, and how the startup ecosystem works. Among the issues he examines: Which founders are most likely to succeed?Where do the best startup ideas come from?What's the most foolproof way of securing the funding needed to take a company to the next level?Should your sales pitch really be something out of Hollywood?What's the best way to grow and scale your company and create a thriving culture that won't hinder expansion? Mollick argues that entrepreneurship is too important, both for society and for the individuals who start companies, to be eclipsed by the shadows of unicorns. He shows we can democratize entrepreneurship—but only by following an evidence-based approach that puts to rest the false narratives that surround it.

Book excerpt: After more than twenty years of living and working with entrepreneurs on four continents, Professor Steve Phelan hasn't seen it all, but he has seen a lot! In Startup Stories, he distills his wisdom on how to become a successful entrepreneur into sixteen chapters, supported by the stories of everyday entrepreneurs he has met over the years.Most books on entrepreneurship try to teach you how to become an extraordinary entrepreneur, the next Steve Jobs or Elon Musk. The problem is there are only 2,000 billionaires on the planet, so the odds are slim that you will be joining their ranks. Instead, this book shows you how to make the most of being an everyday entrepreneur. Everyday entrepreneurs don't make the headlines, but almost half of the population will be quietly involved in an entrepreneurial activity at some stage in their lives. This book is for you. The book begins by framing entrepreneurship as a series of progressively challenging levels. Personal entrepreneurs use their entrepreneurial spirit to achieve their goals while working for others. Nascent entrepreneurs are in the process of birthing a business. Lifestyle entrepreneurs enjoy the autonomy of working for themselves but like to keep things small. Employer entrepreneurs, on the other hand, rely on hiring family members and other employees to boost revenues and results. Growth entrepreneurs would like to grow their business in a major concern, while super entrepreneurs are already operating in the billion-dollar range. Dr. Phelan examines the advantages, challenges, and opportunities of operating at each level. The result is a very human, very readable book that combines true stories with sound principles that are guaranteed to inspire and inform regardless of where you choose to start your entrepreneurial journey.
