<p>I&#8217;m always looking for entrepreneurial inspiration and Guy Kawasaki&#8217;s &#8220;The Art of the Start&#8221; is an effective and pragmatic guide to kick start and plan for (in that order) any idea, initiative, business, adventure&#8230; you name it.</p>
<p>Even though his book is at times focused on the Tech industry and has quite a few references to Venture Capital (he&#8217;s a Tech VC himself), his tone is straight forward, cut the crap, put the book down and get started. It can be applied to any entrepreneurial journey, whether you start a business, a non profit organization, or any event involving people and planning.</p>
<p>I enjoyed being able to read the first chapter of the book on Guy&#8217;s website before buying it. I figured out in the first few pages that I would love what he had to say and that it would be a great companion for any of my ventures, current and future.</p>
