It's not who you know, it's WHOM YOU KNOW and central to our philosophy since inception is the celebration of entrepreneurs. We find the best, and we look for tools to make them even better. Be advised, this is one!
The clarity, the vision, and the essential nuts and bolts of having a successful business are intelligently addressed in The Harvard Business Review Entrepreneur's Handbook. We highly recommend it. Some of it should be elementary, my dear Watson, however, everyone can have a review session for the fundamentals of owning your own business. If you are thinking of starting a business, this is absolutely essential reading.
Obviously, this is not a novel and though we suggest you read it all, it is meant as a reference. Tag the parts that you feel are most relevant to your circumstance so you can refer to it! It's comprehensive without being overwhelming, weighing in at around 300 pages. Even if you have a great idea, starting a business is not for everyone. Right off the bat, this handbook addresses whether you are the kind of person who would find success as an entrepreneur.
This work shows you how to literally organize and do a business plan, and how to finance the business, which is most important. Though this was published in 2018 and is five years old, many of the lessons contained are timeless, and perhaps in the future Harvard may even update this.
