“Most of what you hear about entrepreneurship is all wrong. It’s
not magic; it is not mysterious; and it has nothing to do with
genes. It’s a discipline and, like any discipline, it can be learned.”
—Peter Drucker
Can entrepreneurship be taught?

17. We all know that
That founders and co-founders are the new rock stars
But what is the job really like?
How do you start one?
But the first question you should ask is
do you really want to start a company?
18. The Truth, The Ugly Truth
And Why You Should Do It Anyway
19. "You are master of your own fate.
Act like it." - Steve Blank
27. • You are going to fail
• Don't spend time writing a business plan
• Spend a lot of time getting the founding
team right
• You'll need to do it all yourself in the
beginning
28. • Never wait for permission
• Get ready for rejection and lots of it
• It's really hard to get new customers
29. Words of (startup) wisdom
1 Do not feel absolutely certain of anything.
2 Do not think it’s worthwhile to proceed by concealing
evidence, for the evidence is sure to come to light.
3 Never try to discourage thinking, for you are sure to succeed.
4 When you meet with opposition, endeavor to overcome it by
argument and not by authority, for a victory dependent upon
authority is unreal and illusory.
5 Have no respect for the authority of others, for there
are always contrary authorities to be found.
6 Do not use power to suppress opinions you think
gradual or subtle way), for if you do the opinions will
suppress you.
7 Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every
opinion now accepted was once eccentric.
8 Find more pleasure in intelligent dissent than in
passive agreement, for, if you value intelligence
as you should, the former implies a deeper
agreement than the latter.
9 Be scrupulously truthful, even if the truth is
inconvenient, for it is more inconvenient when
you try to conceal it.
10 Do not feel envious of the happiness of those who
live in a fool’s paradise, for only a fool will think
that it is happiness.
Bertrand Russell 6
