Descrizione
An Amazon #1 Bestseller for Startups.
Written by a 20-year-plus serial entrepreneur after back-to-back major exits, It’s All Nonsense is designed to help anyone, from any walk of life, find growth, achievement, success, and happiness by doing their own thing.
It’s All Nonsense is 20 mentoring sessions — not lessons, rules, or steps. It’s 20 insightful and entertaining stories, never boring, heavy-handed, or condescending, all taken from real-world entrepreneurial life, written by someone who is still living it.
You can’t teach entrepreneurism with classes. You can’t find independence with a roadmap. But you can learn from experience. It’s All Nonsense is jam-packed with just that.
