The Hard Thing About Hard Things: Building a Business When There Are No Easy Answers

Brutally honest guide to building a successful business.

This book is not your typical business advice book. Ben Horowitz doesn't sugarcoat the realities of running a business, and his honesty is refreshing. He shares his own personal stories and provides practical wisdom that you won't find in business schools. The unique aspect of this book is how he incorporates lyrics from his favorite rap songs to amplify his business lessons. If you're looking for a no-nonsense, straight talk guide to navigating the tough challenges of entrepreneurship, this book is for you.

Description

A lot of people talk about how great it is to start a business, but only Ben Horowitz is brutally honest about how hard it is to run one. In The Hard Thing About Hard Things, Ben Horowitz, cofounder of Andreessen Horowitz and one of Silicon Valley's most respected and experienced entrepreneurs, draws on his own story of founding, running, selling, buying, managing, and investing in technology companies to offer essential advice and practical wisdom for navigating the toughest problems business schools don't cover. His blog has garnered a devoted following of millions of readers who have come to rely on him to help them run their businesses. A lifelong rap fan, Horowitz amplifies business lessons with lyrics from his favorite songs and tells it straight about everything from firing friends to poaching competitors, from cultivating and sustaining a CEO mentality to knowing the right time to cash in. His advice is grounded in anecdotes from his own hard-earned rise—from cofounding the early cloud service provider Loudcloud to building the phenomenally successful Andreessen Horowitz venture capital firm, both with fellow tech superstar Marc Andreessen (inventor of Mosaic, the Internet's first popular Web browser). This is no polished victory lap; he analyzes issues with no easy answers through his trials, including demoting (or firing) a loyal friend; whether you should incorporate titles and promotions, and how to handle them; if it's OK
