Entertaining read A very entertaining read from someone who knows what he's talking about. Once I started reading it, I couldn't put it down. The only issue would be that it advocates a pretty narrow perspective and doesn't offer any alternatives. "This is the way it is and no other way" type of attitude reigns over the bo. Nothing Monumental but good. Kindle Customer I enjoyed reading this book. A quick, pleasant read. Didn't teach me anything revolutionary, but still enjoyable. 3 words required.
And over time, the best entrepreneurs can actually learn to create luck. Luck is a part of life, and everyone, at one point or another, gets lucky. As Bo Peabody, entrepreneur extraordinaire, explains: My formula for getting lucky in business is reasonably simple: Start a company that fundamentally innovative, morally compelling, and philosophically positive. Our company will quickly attract smart, inspired people who will work very hard. The result: serendipity, luck, success, and, ultimately, money.. Provide them with a clear action plan and give them the latitude to exercise their creativity. At the very least, entrepreneurs must believe in luck. But luck is a big part of business life and perhaps that biggest part of entrepreneurial life. Treat all these people fairly. Create and aura of authenticity around your start-up by carefully crafting your mission and communicating it with charisma and passion. Ideally, they can recognize it when they see it
Peabody believes that entrepreneurship is an aptitude one either possesses from birth or never possesses at all. Heartfelt and conversational in tone, his is a very thin book, reflecting both a lack of ego—Peabody will never be mistaken for Donald Trump—and his belief that entrepreneurs possess limited attention spans. For instance, he puts great stock in surrounding oneself with ‘A’ students for managers while relying heavily on ‘B’ students to drive innovation. Which is only appropriate
