The $100 Startup

“value is created when a person makes something useful and shares it with the world.”
                                                                                                                                   - Chris Guillebeau


             
                The $100 Startup  by Chris Guillebeau is the refreshingly  different book  than what I expected it to be . Its not going to teach you how to be a millionaire . It's  a simple approach to starting a business , aimed to people who don't  know where to start and don't have a lot of money to play with . In short its goes to the most important part that is how to start getting sh*t done. 

            For his book Chris Guillebeau has interviewed  thousands of  people around the globe who have started their business and summed up the information into different lessons . There are total  14 chapters in this  book in which the author has explained  how to start , how to launch a product , advertising , marketing and a lot more stuff .While reading you come across many examples of people who had started a side project just for fun and now that has turned into a successful startup . He has neatly  explained that how you can generate money from the things that you love to do . Its more about freelancing and getting  started with just a little bit of money .

              The things that i loved about this book are how the author explains through many of the real life examples, how its a simple book and not so over-complicated . There are lot of case studies throughout  the book and the author has also provided a website if you need any help  https://100startup.com/  . 
                

                      If you already own a successful business you may find the insights a little lacking ,but for the first time entrepreneurs I feel like there's  a valuable wealth of Knowledge in this book . It's  definitely at least one time read for everyone.

The Four Agreements

  ''Self-rejection is the biggest sin that you commit.''  ― Miguel Ruiz, The Four Agreements       In his book The four Agreements Don Miguel Ruiz explains the main four agreements which we should make for a better personal freedom . The book offers a code of conduct based on ancient Toltec wisdom that advocates freedom from self -limiting beliefs   .        The four Agreements  told by Don Miguel Are  1) Be Impeccable with your words                                         what does that mean ?  It means that words are more powerful  than we think ,words can plant a idea in someone's mind like inception , words can incite fear in a person. so the author suggests to use words wisely while we speak .   2) Don't  take anything personally                                         As the first agreement is about the power of words so i true if someone uses that power of words on us in that case we should take nothing personally . Nothing others do is because of you.
