Starting a company and being an entrepreneur
The past couple of weeks I have been doing a series on starting companies and being an entrepreneur. These posts are all based on the book Founders at Work: Stories of Startups’ Early Days, by Jessica Livingston. If you haven’t read the book and you either have a startup or are planning on starting a company, I highly recommend it.
Here’s a summary of the posts:
Getting started
- How to get over the fear and start your own business
- Four hurdles to jump after starting a business
Money issues
- 5 ways to save money on your start-up
- 5 places to spend money on your start-up
- 7 ways to raise money for your start-up
The successful entrepreneur
- The #1 most important personality trait of an entrepreneur
- 10 less-than-great personality traits of entrepreneurs

Best thing I’ve read on being an entrepreneur. Inspiring and informative with great examples. Great to read how these guys faced hurdles. Interestingly enough, Russel Simmon’s “Do You” is an inspiring read. Though he didn’t start a tech company, he has a track record for success.
