As any young startup or any entrepreneur with a revolutionary idea and no prior experience in the field, maybe you went through the internet looking for the best #books and #podcasts to know more about #entrepreneurship. At least we did it. We looked for #SuccessStories, #StartupStrategies or any other concept that could help us to better understand this (for us, new) ecosystem.
What we found was a huge and very overwarming quantity of options in multiple languages. So, we would just like to say, do not get dizzy with it, don’t spend all your time reading book after book and hearing everything you find. Our advice for you is to take it easy, to go step by step and better enjoying one book than running through 5.
