The Lean Startup - Eric Ries

It had been a long time since I read a book this quickly!

Yes, there are some subjects that interest me and definitely entrepreneurship is amongst the top. I have been reading many books on start-up and entrepreneurship, and with the ability to relate to the problems/issues of the entrepreneurs whom I meet day in and day out as part of my role as incubation I connect pretty quickly with them. 

I got hold of this book around a week and half back and I was able to manage my time to finish this book quickly! I didnt have to spend too much time doing context switches. The five principles that mentioned in the book struck a good chord with me. These principles are:
  1. Entrepreneurs are Everywhere
  2. Entrepreneurship is Management
  3. Validated Learning
  4. Innovation Accounting 
  5. Build-Measure-Learn Loop 
all touch a simple chord with entrepreneurs. The style of writing is pretty much simple which makes it rather simple for entrepreneur to actually use these techniques in their business.

My vote goes with this book for any one who wants to know about starting off - especially in a B2C and IT heavy companies. For others there might be some tweaking of the insights developed to suit their domain.

Woah! I'm really enjoying the template/theme of this website. It's simple,
yet effective. A lot of times it's difficult to get that "perfect balance" between usability and appearance. I must say you have done a amazing job with this. Additionally, the blog loads super quick for me on Internet explorer. Superb Blog!

I absolutely love your site.. Excellent colors & theme.

Did you create this web site yourself? Please reply back as I'm attempting to create my very own blog and would
like to know where you got this from or exactly what the theme is called.
Thank you!
