Stories from successful entrepreneurs provide motivation and courage: From a yoga studio and restaurants to online businesses, from ashop to daycare"Moritz Gomm is a proven expert for business startups. With his wealth of experience as a coach, he helps founders to success in a goal-oriented way." (Fabrizio Ferrandina, CEO of the Zühlke Technology Group)"With the 90-Day Program, the dream of owning your own company can be realized step by step. Highly recommended for all future founders!" (Prof. Oliver Gassmann, Institute for Technology Management, University of St. Gallen, Switzerland)The 90-day coaching is a practice-oriented instruction to make your dream of independence a reality with only one step per day. You will very soon feel what it is like to be independent and will thus also determine in the 90 days whether self-employment is right for you or not.My goal is that you become more satisfied and happier with your lifestyle, your family and partnership, your job - and with yourself. This book and the coaching are therefore "life advisor" and "founding guide" at the same time.This book is for everyone who is thinking about becoming self-employed. But I developed the concept especially for people who have little time and/or money: EMPLOYEES, who have an idea, which they want to realize gladly, but are professionally strongly clamped and do not dare (yet) to quit their job. Employees often want to change into self-employment because they are dissatisfied with their current job or do not consider it reasonable, because they suffer from an unpleasant company culture or have conflicts with superiors or team members. Others want to do something completely different after many years of professional career because they are not happy with their current job despite the success. Such things often happen in the middle of life - for good reason, as we will see later.MOTHERS and FATHERS who are either part-time or not working at all. Here the motivation is often to stand on their own feet again professionally. As I know myself as a father of two small children, parents are faced with a challenge: to become independent takes time, but the family should not suffer.UNEMPLOYED: I am convinced that the 90-day coaching also helps all those people who have too much time at their disposal because they are unemployed. Because the coaching process gives meaning and a clear structure to everyday life: every day brings a clear and feasible task to gradually reach the goal: to find a job that you love and that will bring in enough money for life.

If you want your startup to succeed, you need to understand why startups fail. “Whether you’re a first-time founder or looking to bring innovation into a corporate environment, Why Startups Fail is essential reading.”—Eric Ries, founder and CEO, LTSE, and New York Times bestselling author of The Lean Startup and The Startup Way Why do startups fail? That question caught Harvard Business School professor Tom Eisenmann by surprise when he realized he couldn’t answer it. So he launched a multiyear research project to find out. In Why Startups Fail, Eisenmann reveals his findings: six distinct patterns that account for the vast majority of startup failures. • Bad Bedfellows. Startup success is thought to rest largely on the founder’s talents and instincts. But the wrong team, investors, or partners can sink a venture just as quickly. • False Starts. In following the oft-cited advice to “fail fast” and to “launch before you’re ready,” founders risk wasting time and capital on the wrong solutions. • False Promises. Success with early adopters can be misleading and give founders unwarranted confidence to expand. • Speed Traps. Despite the pressure to “get big fast,” hypergrowth can spell disaster for even the most promising ventures. • Help Wanted. Rapidly scaling startups need lots of capital and talent, but they can make mistakes that leave them suddenly in short supply of both. • Cascading Miracles. Silicon Valley exhorts entrepreneurs to dream big. But the bigger the vision, the more things that can go wrong. Drawing on fascinating stories of ventures that failed to fulfill their early promise—from a home-furnishings retailer to a concierge dog-walking service, from a dating app to the inventor of a sophisticated social robot, from a fashion brand to a startup deploying a vast network of charging stations for electric vehicles—Eisenmann offers frameworks for detecting when a venture is vulnerable to these patterns, along with a wealth of strategies and tactics for avoiding them. A must-read for founders at any stage of their entrepreneurial journey, Why Startups Fail is not merely a guide to preventing failure but also a roadmap charting the path to startup success.

Choosing between the stability of a traditional career and the upside of entrepreneurship? Why not have both? Becoming a full-time entrepreneur can look glamorous from the outside. Who doesn’t want to chase their dreams, be their own boss, and do what they love? But the truth is that entrepreneurship is often a slog, with no regular hours, no job security, and very little pay. What if there was a way to have the stability of a day job with the excitement of a startup? All of the benefits of entrepreneurship with none of the pitfalls? In The 10% Entrepreneur, Patrick McGinnis shows you how, by investing just 10% of your time and resources, you can become an entrepreneur without losing a steady paycheck.

He also profiles real-world 10% Entrepreneurs such as... •Luke Holden, a cash-strapped recent college graduate, who started his own lobster-roll empire and oversaw much of its first year of operations, all while working full time in corporate America •Dipali Patwa, a designer and mom whose side project designing and selling infant clothing is now a sensation. •A group of friends who met at a 6am Bible study class and went on to start a brewery that now generates millions in sales . A successful 10% Entrepreneur himself, McGinnis explains the multiple paths you can follow to invest your cash, time, and expertise in a start-up—including as a founder, angel, adviser, or aficionado. Most importantly, you don’t have to have millions in disposable income to become a 10% Entrepreneur.
