"The Entrepreneur's Essentials", my free ebook, is in progress

I’ve been writing a lot lately, just not here on Lucky7. I finally decided to compile and refresh some of my best posts over the years into a free ebook named “The Entrepreneur’s Essentials”. In this article, the Austin Business Journal interviewed me about doing so. It is really fun to reflect on what I wrote years ago and have been applying to data.world for the past three years. If you would like to check it out, head on over to Medium. Here are the four lessons I’ve written so far:

  1. The Entrepreneur’s Essentials #1: How to leverage advisors and investors as your extended team

  2. The Entrepreneur’s Essentials #2: What’s in a name?

  3. The Entrepreneur’s Essentials #3: The five critical ingredients to build a big company

  4. The Entrepreneur’s Essentials #4: Seven lessons learned on the journey from founder to CEO

Why Medium? Because I’m hoping this free ebook helps many entrepreneurs and leaders, and Medium naturally exposes it to an audience versus finding it here on my blog (a silo of sorts).

Why free? Because one of my favorite reads early in my entrepreneurial journey was Seth Godin’s “The Bootstrapper’s Bible”. It was free. Pay it forward.

Will I continue to write on Lucky7? Absolutely. And I started cross-posting on Medium at the beginning of this year, which will continue. I always post here first and this will always be my long-term archive of what I’ve learned as an entrepreneur as well as other musings.

Please follow along if you would like. After I’ve finished, I will write a wrap-up post both here and on Medium that chapter-organizes all 20+ of the individual lessons into my free ebook.
