Beyond the learning process, the book challenges the reader to think through and document what he or she believes to be true versus what they can validate as true through research, observation, and working on the business design.This isn't "theory", but practical insights, questions, and information on the realities of starting your own business and laying the foundation for success. The questions presented are fundamental and proven questions that businesses need to have answers to in order to succeed. The questions are often deceptively simple, but these questions have been proven through practice to make the difference in success for new companies.
