Joe to the simple yet brilliant Hula-Hoop, this book reveals the fascinating stories behind these beloved toys and how these learnings can be applied to business and to life.

In his first book, Startup Santa, Brad Pedersen provides tools to help founders navigate strategy as they pursue their own entrepreneurial hero's journey including:

• The 3 flanking maneuvers that kill most businesses
• The essential elements necessary for constructing a scalable and enduring enterprise
• Empowering a team by using the 1:3:1 principle
• Turn struggles into strengths and adversities into your advantage
• Expanding your comfort zone by engaging the courage flywheel
• Drive your attitudes, actions and results by understanding the inner character iceberg
• Avoiding the 4P's and 4B's and rather embrace the 4C's as a part of the quality of life quadrant

Startup Santa reminds us that the spirit of play is not just for children—it's a force that can transform the way we approach entrepreneurship, enriching our lives and businesses with boundless wonder and limitless potential.
