Excellent book that should be studied by aspiring entrepreneurs

This is like a textbook on how to start a business, without too much detail, but with just enough information for a busy entrepreneur to get started. I loved it on Audible and also ordered a print version to study and take notes.

Solid framework and considerations.

This book lays out the core things a person should consider regarding becoming an entrepreneur. It is balanced, structured to be understandable, and is a good primer. It changed my thinking.
