Reality Check -- My thoughts
I finished reading “Reality Check” by Guy Kawasaki. Couple of comments: he uses some material from his earlier book “The Art of Start”(which BTW is a good read too!). I am happy to see him expand on some of topics covered in this book. He brings in great entrepreneurs from industry, who share their experiences. Some of my personal favourite chapters from the book are 1,17,21,29. The book is gives a great insight into investors, engineers, lawyers and alike. The biggest take aways that I have from this book is,
- Just Do it!
- Have some great people around you.
- Right idea and execution are two sides of same coin
And perhaps the biggest lesson I have learned by reading a lot of similar books are
- No amount of reading and training will prepare you for real life.
- Take such advice with pinch of salt and not as a rule of thumb. Things are different and so are assumptions and people.
