“If you want
to be a successful entrepreneur, you are what you know”, is the way T. D. Jake
puts it.
If you have
within you the dream or entrepreneurship you need something that can help you
attain that goal. This book offers you that help. You need to realize you
mustn’t give up if the business doesn't take off on day one.
Jake uses
the illustration of an airplane to represent the entrepreneur spirit of
starting and maintaining a business idea. “Whatever your business may be, it
will never work if you can’t get it off the ground and into the air”
When it
comes to certain authors there is an expectation. I was surprised to pick up this
book and find it a guide book of encouragement for people who have a dream but
lack the pep talk needed to get started.
Jake handles
the need for motivation needed to get started. And once you do that, he points
out, there is a need to plan the flight and the landing. That is, what do you
see as the outcome of your venture? Most of all it is good if you can plain
backwards.
In planning backwards,
you put down your goal and work back to what is needed to reach that goal. It
takes work and time to be a good entrepreneur. Jake does a good job providing
that needed guideline to follow to get your plan in the air.
He suggests
wings to your plans. Inspiration is one
wing and innovation is the second. And then you are to practice.
This book is
a good needed ‘kick’ for those who dream and wish to venture out.
I would
recommend this as a starter business book. I don’t feel it will be much help to
one who needs help in the middle years of the venture. But it does light the
fire under the dreamer future entrepreneur.
It is published
by Hachette Book Group under the imprint FaithWords. It retails at $25.00.
