How to learn entrepreneurial skills... from stories!
 
Many years go (in the very early 2000s), there was a university student. Still green regarding entrepreneurship, he had an idea for a project in mind.

But how to implement his idea?

Well... he just did it. He created a website called "Wisdom Wire"...

I was an early reader of that website. It had all kinds of great stories - stories you could learn great wisdom from (as well as being fun to read, too)!

Well, fast forward 15 years or so. This guy is now a successful entrepreneur...

And he just came up with his latest collection of great wisdom stories!

It's called "Genius Biographies"...

The guy is Ankesh Kothari !

I knew of Ankesh before we ever communicated, because I was a fan of his "Wisdom Wire" website.

Ankesh is not only smart, he's also both wise, and very ethical, too!

(I'm a fan!)

You can get "Genius Biographies" various places online (including Amazon and other online bookstores)...

The best part?

At the end of each biography (each one just a few pages long), is an "Action Summary" - of how you can apply the lessons to improve your own life! :)

Best wishes,

Dien

P.S. I don't benefit from mentioning this in any way... But I am a genuine fan... :)

By the way, in case it isn't clear...

I bought the book, and I'm still reading it - and loving it... :)

Definitely some great surprises in those stories! (Even with stories about well-known names...)

P.T. Barnum and how he hired a beggar to uselessly replace bricks is a great one! (Among many others... :) )

I love it!

Best wishes,

Dien
