Let's talk about why to read these books:
1. If you want to start a business.
2. If you are already a business owner.
3. If you want to grow your business to another level.

      This book talks about unpopular opinions. This is the best pick to work on your business.

            

      Let's talk about the points I really found interesting:
1.Your business never works if you listen to the world. You always heard people saying to new ideas that it will not work. Maybe they live in the real world but you don’t need to live in their world. So ignore the real world.
2. People say learn from your mistakes but it is overrated. Instead, learn from your success. It will bring more successful projects.
3. Don’t make long plans. No one knows the future. Plans are not consistent and need improvisation with time.
4. Small or big business doesn’t matter until and unless it gives you profit.
5. Doing work day and night doesn’t mean you are productive. It means you are doing unnecessary work. So do less.
6. Be a starter. Don’t just sit around and gain the knowledge. It will not world until you start doing it.
7. Do your best work.
8. Solve real-life problems. Problems that you face and solve them.
9. Don’t include too many investors. Otherwise, it will waste your time in meetings.
10. Don’t hire until you really need it.
11. Creating a business is not easy. Sometimes you want to quit. Sometimes it may feel like anxiety. But patience is the key.
12. Embrace the idea of less mass. Avoid long term contracts, meetings, permanent decisions.
13. You don’t need to be one step ahead of your competitors. Less is good. Use this time to make your product more valuable and better. Enjoy constraints.
14. Start at the epicentre. The thing you need to do to make the business work. Other things will continue side by.

15. Focus on what does not change. Make your product according to the things which don’t change with time.

      16. Remember you can’t just make one product. There are always side products and you need to find in your business.
17. Meetings are only a wastage of time. Make them short.
18. Don't wait for the perfect product. Good enough is right.
19. Don’t be a hero. If some work takes 14 hours. Quit that work and start something else, otherwise, you end up wasting all your time.
20. Go to sleep. It will help you to be more productive.
21. Make small decisions.

      22. Consumer of your product must be happy for buying from you.

      23. Build an audience.
24. Go behind the scenes. Show your audience how products are manufactured. It will build trust.
25. Don’t fake it. No one likes fake flowers. Imperfections are good.
 
 
REVIEW: This book will help to change your perspective about business. Working day and night doesn’t give you success. Doing the important is. Hiring more people will not solve the problem but increase mass. Proper sleep is important. Don’t make unnecessary meetings. I found these points really impressive. It gives an entirely new perspective. Should definitely need to read this book.
