Here are 7 valuable lessons from the book

1. Fear kills more dreams: “Fear kills more dreams than failure ever will. So if there’s something that you’re really afraid of doing, it’s a sign that there’s like a big dream hidden behind it. So, just take the plunge, trust your instincts, and try it out.

2. You can’t become a founder if: It’s impossible to become a successful start-up founder if you’re not capable of coping with failures and don’t know how to handle setbacks and rejections. And if you don’t do things that are right by the consumer, then in the long term it comes in the way of creating large businesses.

3. You’re actually not a boss: People become entrepreneurs to become their own boss. That’s a misconception, You’re actually not a boss. You’re working for your investor, for your customer, for your employees. you’re constantly selling and pitching.

4. Don’t follow the money: If you make something of true value and meaning, the money will follow. But if you follow the money, nothing happens. You have to chase value creation in what you’re doing.

5. Be both Shark and a Dolphin: You have to know the right time to be firm and aggressive and show who the boss is, and the right time to show the empathy that your team may need, A leader needs to have both these traits and be able to balance both. Everyone has a shark and a dolphin within them. How well you balance the two really defines your success.

6. No. 1 Rule of entrepreneurship:  The No. 1 rule of entrepreneurship is that you’ve to show up on the battlefield every day. There will be days and months when you’ll fail. But you still have to show up.

7. Be an executionist, not a strategist: You can’t take too much time learning things’ and your agility will suffer. If you over-plan, your nimbleness will suffer. Be an executionist, not a strategist.
