Skills Before Ideas - The Step Zero for Entrepreneurs
The big topics of this Simply Human Newsletter - Download our Book: Step Zero Before the Hustle
👋 Hey,
They say it takes a village to raise a child. Well, it turns out it takes a tribe to birth a book, too! Dr. Haruka Marufuji and I (Ivan), over a glass of wine (as is the custom in my small village), started reflecting on the rollercoaster of entrepreneurship. The mistakes, the lessons... Turns out, even when you’ve studied human psychology, you’re still beautifully imperfect.
Our 𝐡𝐲𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐬 was (after an undefined number of glasses of wine🍷): launching a business isn't about a brilliant idea. It's about executing that idea brilliantly. And that takes a certain mindset, a certain set of human skills... and 𝐢𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐥𝐚𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐡 𝐚 𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬.
Our book (𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝐙𝐞𝐫𝐨 𝐁𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐥𝐞) is now PUBLISHED. We are offering to our Simply Human community (YOU) a FREE ebook version on Amazon from Thursday, September 26th [noon EU time], to Saturday, September 28th 🎉➡️ Here is the link to download it https://a.co/d/eZTD5Px
We distilled our experiences, and the wisdom of 10 other incredible entrepreneurs, into actionable steps.
Funny thing is, with 12 minds shaping it, can we really claim paternity?
Maybe this book is more like a startup itself - a collective effort, fueled by passion and a shared vision.
Yes I want to congratulate the book contributors on this beautiful child (that we now have to raise it 🤷) Agni Skafidas, Michel Heitzmann, Jorge Castellote, Zuleka Kaysan , Joshua Berry, Alei Hassanein, Mykola Takzey, Egils Boitmanis, Alec Corthay, and Treesha Swami
"An entrepreneur's greatest asset is not their idea, but their ability to learn, adapt, and inspire others. These are human skills that no machine can replicate."
