Some years back I created an entrepreneurship workshop for MBA students. I liked the content, and they liked it even more. So, I thought it could be a good idea to make a book out of it, to share my know-how and experience. It took some more time to turn these thoughts to a book.

This book was written to help entrepreneurs and businesses succeed. My main message for them is as the name of the book says: fall in love with the problem, not the solution.
It means that by understanding the user better and starting with the problem instead of the solution, they have better chances of figuring out product-market fit, as well as enduring the rollercoaster of the startup journey.

I get inspired by the feedback that I get from people I meet in my presentations and their reactions.
People started saying that I should write a book about entrepreneurship, based on my presentations, and then when my mom told me that too, so I decided to go ahead and do it.
Covid closures with way less travel set the conditions to sit down and write the book

I’m an entrepreneur and a teacher, so I feel equally rewarded when I build stuff myself or when I guide someone to build it.
My life split between sharing my knowledge (through the book and through presentations and public speaking) and working on startups

To be frank, I don’t know yet, I know how to aspire entrepreneurs, encourage them not to be afraid of failures, and focus on the problem. but I’m not sure yet how to aspire, writers.
I can say that even if you have never written a book before, if you have the conviction, the will and you have a vision of what the book you want to write is going to look like, then you are already on the right path

To an extent, I feel that writing a book is a similar journey to building a startup - the joy of creation, the fact there you create something out of thin air, and that what you have created is of value to many people

There are right decisions or no decisions.
When you make a decision, you don’t know what it would be like if you had taken a different one.
