PERFORM - The Unsexy Truth About (Startup) Success
What if we shared a proven recipe that can increase your likelihood of startup success to 50%, instead of just 10%?
PERFORM - The Unsexy Truth about (Startup) Success is a book about the extra mile startups need to go in order to turn into a well-oiled machine. UNsexy tips, stories, and interviews that will later help you master the sexy part.
Since we believe that visualization and examples are key elements of success, we have included lots of graphs, tools, strategies, and case studies from successful startup founders and thought leaders from the New Europe region.
A book that will show you entrepreneurs’ real struggles that turned into success stories. No magical results, just PERFORM-ance.
WHAT THE BEST KNOWN NAMES SAY
ABOUT THE BOOK
The Startup Book of NewEurope
The startup ecosystem of NewEurope is growing. And with it the urge for guidance and knowledge on how to build a successful company and a strong team to pull it off. Silicon Valley stories are not always relatable, and there aren’t many resources exploring the specifics of the startup journey in this region.
We wrote PERFORM out of necessity. It’s as much of a book about entrepreneurship, as it is about personal leadership, team management and building a strong startup culture.
This book is based on the PERFORM Methodology, successfully applied by 250+ startup teams in 25+ countries. Based on hundreds of workshops and coaching sessions, we carefully collected the best tools, ideas and strategies and included them in the book. PERFORM features also examples, tools and case studies from 50+ successful startup founders and thought leaders from NewEurope.
If you are looking for a quick fix, the magic pill or the big secret that will solve all your problems: THIS BOOK IS NOT FOR YOU!
PERFORM will give you the recipe, but it’s up to you to apply it.
And if you’re consistent and you are willing to do what it takes, you might have a shot.
