Book Description

This essay sheds light on what are the factors that can influence your success as an entrepreneur, demystifies the most important critical success factors that can influence your success as an entrepreneur, and reveals the ample reasons why it is difficult to be successful as an entrepreneur. There are a multitude of factors that can influence your success as an entrepreneur. The factors that can influence your success as an entrepreneur can vary based on the capacities that you work in as an entrepreneur. Some of the myriad of factors that can have bearing on influencing your success as an entrepreneur encompass whether or not the content recommendation algorithms promote your content on social media platforms, whether or not your content is deemed to be share-worthy content by your target market on social media platforms, whether or not your content is deemed to be watch-worthy content by your target market on social media platforms, whether or not your content is deemed to be engagement-worthy content by your target market on social media, whether or not you leverage aesthetically appealing thumbnails for your content on social media platforms, whether or not you leverage the optimal metadata that is germane to your content on social media platforms, and whether or not your content is deemed to be like-worthy content by your target market on social media. Some of the other multitude of factors can have bearing on influencing your success as an entrepreneur encompass whether or not your videos on social media platforms yield high viewership rates, whether or not your videos on social media platforms yield high watch times, whether or not your social media channels have internal monetization options that are available for you to access, and whether or not your videos on social media platforms yield high audience retention rates. By producing an exorbitant amount of enthralling, viral-worthy, share-worthy, like-worthy, engagement-worthy, algorithm recommendation-worthy videos on a daily basis that are apt to build traction and yield high engagement rates, high watch times, high viewership rates, and a high audience retention rate, an entrepreneur who doubles as a content creator can render himself at a higher probability of becoming profoundly successful on social media platforms. Content on social media platforms needs to build traction in order to generate advertisement revenue. It is also more cumbersome for an entrepreneur who doubles as a content creator to generate advertisement revenue, subscription revenue, affiliate marketing revenue, print-on-demand merchandise sales revenue, and donation revenue if his content on social media platforms builds traction at a slow cadence than it is for him to do so if his content on social media platforms builds traction at a fast cadence. When content on social media platforms rapidly builds traction than it has a higher probability of reaching viral status than content that stagnates in building traction on social media platforms. When content on social media platforms rapidly builds traction and becomes viral content, then it furnish the content creator with substantial advertisement revenue. When content on social media platforms rapidly builds traction and becomes viral content, then it can also help an entrepreneur who doubles as a content creator to establish a behemoth brand across on social media platforms. When content on social media platforms rapidly builds traction and becomes viral content, then it can also help an entrepreneur who doubles as a content creators to attain extreme fame leverage. Entrepreneurs who double as content creators aim to generate extreme wealth on social media platforms and at a higher probability of reaching that ambitious objective if they are able to become profoundly successful on social media platforms. A plethora of social media platforms have internal monetization options that are available for entrepreneurs who double as content creators to access. It is all the less arduous for an entrepreneur to generate extreme wealth if he has unlocked internal monetization options on social media platforms than it is for him to do so if he has not unlocked internal monetization options on social media platforms. Your target market ultimately determines if your content will rank high on social media platforms.




Why Startups Fail


Book Description

If you want your startup to succeed, you need to understand why startups fail. “Whether you’re a first-time founder or looking to bring innovation into a corporate environment, Why Startups Fail is essential reading.”—Eric Ries, founder and CEO, LTSE, and New York Times bestselling author of The Lean Startup and The Startup Way Why do startups fail? That question caught Harvard Business School professor Tom Eisenmann by surprise when he realized he couldn’t answer it. So he launched a multiyear research project to find out. In Why Startups Fail, Eisenmann reveals his findings: six distinct patterns that account for the vast majority of startup failures. • Bad Bedfellows. Startup success is thought to rest largely on the founder’s talents and instincts. But the wrong team, investors, or partners can sink a venture just as quickly. • False Starts. In following the oft-cited advice to “fail fast” and to “launch before you’re ready,” founders risk wasting time and capital on the wrong solutions. • False Promises. Success with early adopters can be misleading and give founders unwarranted confidence to expand. • Speed Traps. Despite the pressure to “get big fast,” hypergrowth can spell disaster for even the most promising ventures. • Help Wanted. Rapidly scaling startups need lots of capital and talent, but they can make mistakes that leave them suddenly in short supply of both. • Cascading Miracles. Silicon Valley exhorts entrepreneurs to dream big. But the bigger the vision, the more things that can go wrong. Drawing on fascinating stories of ventures that failed to fulfill their early promise—from a home-furnishings retailer to a concierge dog-walking service, from a dating app to the inventor of a sophisticated social robot, from a fashion brand to a startup deploying a vast network of charging stations for electric vehicles—Eisenmann offers frameworks for detecting when a venture is vulnerable to these patterns, along with a wealth of strategies and tactics for avoiding them. A must-read for founders at any stage of their entrepreneurial journey, Why Startups Fail is not merely a guide to preventing failure but also a roadmap charting the path to startup success.

Entrepreneurship and Economic Growth

By serving as a conduit for knowledge spillovers, entrepreneurship is the missing link between investments in new knowledge and economic growth.

A Call for Judgment


Book Description

Our prosperity requires the enterprise of innumerable individuals and businesses who exercise their imagination and judgment-and bear responsibility for outcomes. And widespread enterprise is fostered through dialogue and relationships, not merely prices in anonymous markets. Yet modern finance blatantly neglects these necessary elements for enterprise. In the last several decades finance has become increasingly centralized, distanced, and mechanistic. Instead of many lending officers making judgments about borrowers they know, credit decisions are the output of the models of a few Wall Street wizards and credit agencies. This robotic centralized finance stifles the dynamism of the real economy and leads to recurring collapses. A Call for Judgment clearly explains how bad theories and mis-regulation have caused a dangerous divergence between the real economy and finance. In simple language Bhidé takes apart the so-called advances in modern finance, showing how backward-looking, top-down models were used to mass-produce toxic products. Thanks to excessively tight securities laws and loose banking laws, anonymous transactions have displaced relationship-based finance. And Bhidé offers, tough simple rules for restoring relationships and case-by-case judgment: limit banks--and all deposit taking institutions--to basic lending and nothing else. A Call for Judgment is both a primer on the role of finance in a dynamic modern economy, and a cautionary tale about the pitfalls of banks functioning as highly centralized, mechanistic entities. It is essential reading for anyone interested in bringing the economy back to a point at which decisions can be made that foster organic economic growth without the potentially disastrous risks currently accepted by modern finance.
