New Webinar: How to get your business out of Early Struggle and into FunDoes it feel like your new venture just won’t ‘take flight’? Are you plugging away month after month, but achieving no momentum and seeing little return? Does it feel like you’ve ‘made it’ for a few weeks or months before you find yourself back in survival mode all over again? Ever wonder if you’ve done the right thing in launching a new venture? If so, your business is caught in what I call ‘Early Struggle’, and I know how to get you out of it. I’ve personally been through the startup process 42 times (including two failures), and somewhere around the 20th launch I finally understood precisely how to get any new venture out of Early Struggle and into Fun (the part where you get to sell lots of what you’re offering, be profitable and enjoy yourself). Find out for yourself by attending our next Webinar ‘How to get out of Early Struggle and into Fun‘. |

Because very few start-up founders are sufficiently clear-minded enough about three non-negotiable fundamentals, each of which I outline in this week’s Inc article: Read the Inc article here. |
Grab: Your business book recommendations (pdf)If you recall, I asked readers to send in nominations for their ‘must-read’ business books. …And you did – 66 of them in fact. It’s a fascinating list, including many that would be on my own ‘Best of’ list, many that most definitely aren’t, and some that I’d not heard of previously. I’ve put it in pdf form and provided a link to the Amazon page for each book (where we could find one). I’ve no doubt you’ll find some nominees for your own list. Grab your copy of the list here. |
