I don’t like to read books. But, this one was by an accident. I failed three times as a founder. I tried to run my first startup in technology and fashion, it failed within 4 months. My second startup was EdTech, it failed too, the only product that I sold was my personal iPhone (too cover up my living cost, lol). Then the third one, it was a dating app for hyper-sexual people. That too failed, despite of good revenue.
After the failure of my third startup, I was pissed off with my life. I wanted to go back and be a student or may be move far away from the city, so that nobody shames me. Everybody who looked at me, made me feel like a looser. My Dad, started pressurizing me to get married.
I was totally disturbed, I tried to keep calm and made so many mistakes.
I heard about a new book for startups through my friend, Rashi who was working with a startup in Bengaluru. She told me that I must read that book and it will change the way I look at business.
I downloaded a kindle version with heavy heart, I don’t have Kindle hardware so I downloaded Kindle app on my phone, it works pretty good. It was amazing to see that the author talked about failures so nicely, in fact failures are treated like success in the book. This book made me smile, it made me laugh, it made me learn the basics without getting bored. I never thought books could be so much fun.
You have to read it to believe it, no wonder it’s the bestseller in business category at Amazon India.
No wonder, this book is good in US. I swear, you will like this book. I liked it so much.
