The $100 Startup

I like this book because it makes things feel attainable

Meskipun terdengar terlalu muluk di beberapa bagian, toh buku ini sukses meyakinkanku untuk membuka side hustle berupa perpustakaan berlangganan.

Banyak hal yang kupelajari dari buku ini. Dari mulai menyusun sebuah bisnis yang kamu bisa mulai tanpa tim, mengumumkannya, sampai ke bagaimana menjalankannya. Cukup lengkap. Meskipun, kembali lagi ke poin awal, ada beberapa hal yang menurutku terlalu optimistis dan muluk-muluk (atau mungkin itu adalah kemudahan a la white people di Dunia Pertama.)

Apapun itu, aku perlu berterima kasih kepada buku ini atas alasan yang sudah kuberitahu di awal: Keyakinan bahwa siapapun bisa mencoba membangun side hustle yang menghasilkan.

The book was a compilation of success stories from a lot of people that have succeeded in their own business. I would not call all of them as "startups". My perception of what a "startup" is is different. By reading all the stories I had the feeling of it all being just a fiction or stories. I know they're not, but the writing was somehow too dreamy, optimistic. For the time of writing it may have been ok, but I'd prefer "slap in your face" and "work hard" perspective rather than "make your dreams come true". [reading time: 7h35m]

While it can be a little much in all its examples, reading this spurred real actionable changes for a few stalled side projects.

A great book for anyone who ever thought about going out on their own path. It is a perfect mix of reality check, inspiration, and instruction. By the time you finish this book you won't only know if going out on your own is right for you but you will also know the first steps you need to take recommended reading for anyone.

This is one of the clearest start up books I've read. Everything in it is 'actionable.' Very low BS factor. Very high reality check factor.

This book had lots of very inspiring stories of a variety of successful micro-businesses. The second half also featured more practical ideas and tips. Worth coming back to in a few years again, and it inspired me to look at how I might be able to create a product out of my service-based business.
