Entrepreneur guidebook

                The guidebook starts with some statistics to give an idea of the odds a tech entrepreneur has to face and to show that almost all entrepreneurs will have to face failure at one point or another throughout their careers. Because of this, an entrepreneur needs to be unshakable in his belief in the company and the business model. He must have the courage to forge ahead knowing the odds of success. He needs to have a laser focus when it comes to getting the job done and he needs to have the discipline to work through the drudgery. An entrepreneur needs to be a leader, able to build teams and instill confidence in others. An entrepreneur is always thinking ahead.
                The tech entrepreneur’s guidebook defines the three goals of a successful tech entrepreneur as follows:
1.       A technology entrepreneur seeks to innovate and solve a problem that exists in the market, not merely identify and follow a trend.
2.       A technology entrepreneur seeks to build long-term value. They want their company to have sustainability, not just attract investment dollars at high premiums.

3.       A technology entrepreneur seeks to have freedom, is willing to accept the risks that come with the job and is not discouraged by the uncertainty of the future that they face.
