Description

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 I have been asked how a startup becomes so successful. I have noticed that founders and investors around the world are running into the same issues and asking me the same questions. Everyone is working hard, but some startups are succeeding while others are failing.
#2 The media constantly portrays the startup world as a meritocracy, where those who deserve it succeed. But the truth is that there are still problems, barriers, and un-level playing fields in the startup world.
#3 The focus of this book is not the business idea or product, but you, the founder, entrepreneur behind the business. It applies to any project you plan to lead. The simple reason is that it all starts with you. Startups at the early stage have nothing to show but you, the founder, who sets it up for success.
#4 The fact that we mention investors and venture capitalists is not to suggest that every founder should be looking to raise money from them. Some businesses are better bootstrapped without investors, and kept lean. But whether or not you need to raise funding depends on your unfair advantages.

Insights from Chapter 1

#1

I have been asked how a startup becomes so successful. I have noticed that founders and investors around the world are running into the same issues and asking me the same questions. Everyone is working hard, but some startups are succeeding while others are failing.

#2

The media constantly portrays the startup world as a meritocracy, where those who deserve it succeed. But the truth is that there are still problems, barriers, and un-level playing fields in the startup world.

#3

The focus of this book is not the business idea or product, but you, the founder, entrepreneur behind the business. It applies to any project you plan to lead. The simple reason is that it all starts with you. Startups at the early stage have nothing to show but you, the founder, who sets it up for success.

#4

The fact that we mention investors and venture capitalists is not to suggest that every founder should be looking to raise money from them. Some businesses are better bootstrapped without investors, and kept lean. But whether or not you need to raise funding depends on your unfair advantages.

#5

The world is against you, and startups tend to fail. You don’t want to be one of the 90 percent that fail.

#6

This book is for you if you’re thinking of starting an entrepreneurial journey, or if you’re already running a startup and are struggling with some of those early-stage challenges. It will help you get those advantages that will make you confident and ready for Part Three: The Quick-Start Guide.
Insights from Chapter 2

#1

Evan Spiegel, the CEO of Snapchat, grew up in a multimillion-dollar household in Los Angeles, surrounded by countless fancy cars and ultra-exclusive country clubs. His parents were powerful lawyers, and his father worked on high-profile cases such as the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

#2

There are many factors that contribute to success, and privilege certainly isn’t the only one. Evan was very smart, and Snapchat had a brilliant insight at its core: people want to communicate with photos that would self-destruct after a few seconds.

#3

Working the system means that it is not about working harder, but about working smarter to succeed. In other words, it’s about sacrificing short-term pleasures for long-term success.

#4

The idea that hustle is the only key to success is oversimplifying the world of business. Success depends on many different factors, and hard work alone doesn’t make you successful.

#5

The more successful people are, the more willing they are to admit that factors other than simple hard work played into their success. In case you’re still thinking that this book is about how great it is to grow up privileged like Evan Spiegel, we’ll show you how an Unfair Advantage can take many forms.

#6

I grew up in a poor, crime-ridden part of Birmingham. I was not surrounded by millions of dollars like Evan Spiegel, but rather by thugs and shady characters who drove around BMWs.

#7

I had a retail job at Staples, a big warehouse store selling office supplies and computers. I was good at it, but I was also making good money. I was happy with my little business until I realized it was illegal.

#8

I had no experience or qualifications, but I was hired to transform a company’s business by leveraging my expertise in the internet. I was young, teetotal, and Muslim, and looked it. I was extremely nervous and felt like an imposter.

#9

The dotcom bubble burst in March 2000, and I was made redundant. I had spent all my money and lost all my illusions that I had made it. I moved back home with my parents. It felt like I had failed even though it was nothing to do with me.

#10

I had built a skillset that allowed me to become a freelance consultant in various companies all over England. I was entrepreneurial in my spare time, and I had a great salary. However, I was getting bored with my job. I decided to leave to join a Danish startup that was making waves in its home market.
