Not sure why this book has over 4 stars. I couldn't even read the entire book because it's full of empty statements and it tries to set down an exact framework of how things should be in entrepreneurship. "Entrepreneurship can be taught", the authors say. Based on what? The authors didn't even have a record of starting businesses. Another quote: "students with the aptitude to start a business can become better entrepreneurs". I... just... can't. Rule of thumb, always google the authors and if they don't have experience starting and running businesses just ignore the book. I worked with startups myself and even started a business and that's why I find this book so painful to read. My advice: please avoid this book. Read some Eric Ries or biographies by Walter Isaacson.
