(More customer reviews)If you've ever had a business idea and wanted to pick the brain of someone who knows what they're doing, the snappy and inspiring book "37 Days to Launch" is a valuable resource. Ryan Duques, entrepreneur and force to be reckoned with, shares the passion and know-how that helped him launch more than a dozen business ventures, including a chain of community newspapers, an online education company, and even a bank.
Duques chronicles his entrepreneurial journey through funny anecdotes (selling his parents their own coffee in the morning when he was 7) and serious reflection. He explains what he learned along the way and how those lessons shaped his business development technique. Some of his ideas were successful, some weren't, but many were launched quickly and all with palpable excitement. The book focuses on a particular startup he and business partner James Warner developed and launched in 37 days: the group deal website SavingsClique.com.
The book features actual material from the SavingsClique.com brainstorming and execution process, including e-mails to designers and programmers, prospective logos he and Warner chose from, and their thought process every step of the way. Although the book revolves around launching a profitable website, the ideas and steps can apply to any goal.
This book speaks to anyone who has an idea but needs a kick in the pants to shut down the excuses and negative self-talk, stop waiting for the "perfect" time (there isn't one), quit worrying that it will take too long (done right, it doesn't have to), and get moving on systematically achieving their dreams. When you finish reading "37 Days to Launch", you'll want to sit down and set up your own plan for success.
