Nice little book of brief interviews with entrepreneurs in a variety of contexts. I find myself grabbing something new each time read as my own situation evolves and changes.

💥 گاهی فقط یه جرقه کوچیک نیازه تا به این حقیقت برسیم که با بینش خلاقانه، میتونیم از هر محدودیتی عبور کنیم...
کتاب جالبی بود. هر فصلش راجع به نظرات موسس یکی از شرکتهای معروف دنیا درباره خلاقیت و نوآوری بود.

I read the whole thin tome during a flight from NYC to Miami. I've found some good tips plus clear reminders from other entrepreneurs who have actually built their respective businesses. I found the descriptions familiar, some are very similar to what I've been undergoing these days as an entrepreneur. Read it just because it will provide comfort to you (if you're also an entrepreneur) that things will definitely change for the better as long as you take action now to achieve your clearly-defined goals in your business (for profit or otherwise).

This book comprises of fourteen lesson in form of short stories and lessons learned. It has big names like Michael dell and others that are less recognized, at least for me, and the lessons are at the same level too.
I give credit for this book because it is short and concise
