Synopsis
Every entrepreneur knows that quick decision-making is a vital part of success.
But when you find yourself at a difficult crossroads, the right choice may not be obvious. In those moments, a push in the right direction can be just what you need to get moving again.
During the 1,000 maddening days he spent in Silicon Valley, Brian Friedman found himself facing difficult decisions every day in the first few months of his startup. He was in uncharted waters and didn't always know which direction to swim, but thankfully he had access to some of most successful entrepreneurs, investors, and advisors in the world. With their help, Brian made some gutsy calls in those early days, though sometimes not fast enough.
In Takeaways: Secret Truths from Leading a Startup, Brian gives you the tools to make the right decisions quickly in your business. This pocket companion covers the entire lifecycle of a startup, from growth and culture to operations and exit strategies. No matter how long you've been in business, Brian's advice can help point you in the right direction.
