Disciplined Entrepreneurship: 24 Steps to a Successful Startup


Can you create and capture value? This book will help you make that determination fast!



This book lays out step by step with specific directions and real examples of what to do and how to do it. It just doesn't say "develop your value proposition", it tells you how to! It doesn't say "what is your Cost of Customer Acquisition", it guides you to the correct way to do so. This fills huge gap in the literature on entrepreneurship.

There are more entrepreneurs than ever who are getting seed funded. So, while there is a significant amount of Series A venture capital money available, the law of numbers say that most young companies will struggle to get funded by the venture capital community. But if you are an entrepreneur and you want to make it through this tough passage, I strongly suggest that you get this book and use it as your guide. It provides a prescriptive checklist of what you need to do in order to build a company and make yourself attractive to series A investors

If you have an idea and don't know where to start, start here reading this book.

This book provides you with one of the most fundamental checkpoint both to determine how viable your business is using the Lifetime Value (LTV), and to make sure you clearly understand what will drive the sustainability and profitability of your business so that you stay focused going forward. I also recommend that you buy the book Automatic Customers by John Warrillow to complement your understanding of Lifetime Value (LTV).

Excellent and deep dive material particularly for someone who's not familiar with this TAM, SAM, SOM world.

It provides a clear framework which fully explains not only the steps that are necessary to becoming an entrepreneur, but also how they can be implemented and applied to a real world setting.

It will help you  save a significant amount of time going down roads that are not relevant, focusing us on markets that offer potential, and keeping your  talented but relatively inexperienced management team at high productivity levels.
