Most startups fail. But many of those failures are preventable. The Lean Startup is a new approach being adopted across the globe, changing the way companies are built and new products are launched.
Eric Ries defines a startup as an organization dedicated to creating something new under conditions of extreme uncertainty. This is just as true for one person in a garage or a group of seasoned professionals in a Fortune 500 boardroom. What they have in common is a mission to penetrate that fog of uncertainty to discover a successful path to a sustainable business.
The Lean Startup approach fosters companies that are both more capital efficient and that leverage human creativity more effectively. Inspired by lessons from lean manufacturing, it relies on “validated learning,” rapid scientific experimentation, as well as a number of counter-intuitive practices that shorten product development cycles, measure actual progress without resorting to vanity metrics, and learn what customers really want. It enables a company to shift directions with agility, altering plans inch by inch, minute by minute.
Rather than wasting time creating elaborate business plans, The Lean Startup offers entrepreneurs - in companies of all sizes - a way to test their vision continuously, to adapt and adjust before it’s too late. Ries provides a scientific approach to creating and managing successful startups in a age when companies need to innovate more than ever. |

Product Description:
There are two types of people in this world; those who ponder and those who act. This book showcases the latter, showing us that with enough desire and persistence, anything is possible. The progress of our society depends on those who act and this book is a celebration of their contributions. Through the process of interviewing, a truth emerges as to why some people act and others do not. Their answers offer real life wisdom, insight, and an honest glimpse into the mindset of a true entrepreneur. Readers will explore the perspectives of ordinary men and women who took destiny into their own hands and pursued their entrepreneurial stirrings. These entrepreneurs are living proof that anyone can create something from nothing. They inspire us to discover and follow our own versions of the American dream. They teach us that failure is the pathway to success, a burning passion the essential fuel, and having a purpose bigger than ourselves leads to true fulfillment. Successful entrepreneurs featured include; Michael Gerber of E-Myth, Greg Stroh of Izze Beverage, Bob Parsons of Go Daddy Group, Kim Jordan of New Belgium Brewing Company, and many more! |
