My second 10/5 stars for 2018.
Every so often there is a business book that hits me between the eyes so hard that it knocks me down. That was this book. Every so often one stumbles upon a book that they think there is more aligned in the universe for them to accidently come across it on Amazon and the decision to impulsively put it into the cart. That is this book.
As I read this book, all I kept thinking was this type of book was the reason why I started IndiePicks Magazine. To give recognition to those books that are so powerfully good, but the author has chosen the route of going away from having the Big 5 publisher logo on the spine of their book.
As a MBA level, "mid life" woman entering into entrepreneurship (and coming from the huge corporate world) for the first time, I didn't realize the powerful grab that my little company would have on me. I also didn't realize that my learned behaviors from coming from the corporate world could impact my decision making in bringing my company to life. This book helped me to make sense of decisions I have made that left me scratching my head and gave a sense of comprehension from a stance of beating myself up unmercifully.
There were also perspectives given from the sense of age, lifestyle and work/career that are more important in midlife than with a younger entrepreneur.
I think the biggest "it will be alright, push through, don't give up moment" for me was the lessons learned/business model experiments moment that had this tough executive tearing up, that clearly, I am not alone if an author is writing about it who has never met me. Funnily, as I work on a new business model, Mr. Kornblum discussed options that I had imagined, but wondered how to put it to reality. This book, in its first read, has highlights, underlinings and notes in the margin. It is also front and center on my business shelf for easy reference.
This book is a business gem and it proves that the best books do not have the BIG 5 Publishing House label on the spine.
Mr. Kornblum....thank you. Your advice has helped to save my "mid-life" baby.

First five chapters are mainly “pep talk” trying to convince those later in life to take the plunge and become entrepreneurs. After that does get more done to the actual business of starting a business but rarely into the details. If you’re at the beginning of your journey than a good read but if you’re already farther along in your process may want to skip ahead to more advanced material
