The Startup Owner's Manual: The Step-By-Step Guide for Building a Great Company

Great addition to the self-improvement book collection!

One of the best books on starting a business. One idea is got from this book is to build the product with customer. You have to find beta users first and then co-create the product with customers feedback. I am exactly doing it the same way. Get out of the building is the key concept

The book is very thorough in conveing to the reader of a step by step guide for creating products. The customer discovery part is viewed by the author as the most important and as such, the book is an exciting read during this phase. Afterwards, the book seems to be a bit dull and overdogmatic. Personally, I think that the book should serve as a general guideline towards assessing the current state of a product and planning it’s future steps, and should not be taken absolutelly ‘ad literam’.

Great condition

I recommend every person who is looking to start working on his/her business idea to read this book first before anything else. I've started a business a year ago and as any other startup I had very very slow progress and alot of learning to do. Then I found this book ....it has helped me save so much time, it breaks what you need to do into actionable steps. The author recognize the importance and respects the entrepreneur's time by not babbling and talking gibberish like most startup books. Hes like, You need to do customer discovery first and to do that you need to do 1.2.3.4 if you have a physical product and 1.2.3.4 if you have a digital product.

The best book so far for the startups. The most value in this book is its eye opening and clear statement on difference between startup and business company

This book is super sturdy. I love that it’s a hardcover. It’s been thrown around in my backpack and has no wear or tear.

Kindle version. The book lays out the 4 steps to a successful startups, though in this manual, only the first two steps are covered in detail. It is a reference book and while you can read from cover to cover, most likely you will need to come back to it and check out certain sections when you're starting your company. I would have wanted the step by step guide for the final 2 steps but given the definition of a startup "temporary organization in search of a repeatable, scalable profitable business model", I guess the first 2 steps are the most important. Overall, I think this book is really helpful for anyone who wants to found a startup. It is applicable to both technology and product startups.

Sono un lettore onnivoro di testi su innovazione, metodi agili e creazione di impresa, ma questo è probabilmente il libro a cui sono più legato. Ogni pagina è un concentrato di saggezza, guida eccellente per chi voglia generare nuovi business. Raccomandatissimo!

This book is behind most of the startup advice you read on the internet. Not to say that other people are copying, it's just that Steve was early in the game and others have taken parts of this and dived deeper into a section or particular challenge one could face in the journey. Also, for once the book arrived undamaged via Amazon which is nice.

Buen libro para iniciar

Great book. Full of relevant comments. Very useful

I think the concept is good and it makes sense to do the customer searching before dig in too far with an app or product development. The topic and steps of the book can be reduced significantly from 600 pages to 100.
