Is it possible to get your MBA in a book? Maybe not, but Guy Kawasaki's book, "The Art of the Start: The Time-Tested, Battle-Hardened Guide for Anyone Starting Anything" is definitely a must read for anyone starting a company. This book has advice for you at just about any point in your startup from idea phase, to pitching, to executing.
It's hard to believe how much value is packed into this book. Having just read it for the first time, I found I appreciated it a lot more than I might have in the past, because some of the lessons I've already learned and so I can really understand how good the advice is from my own experiences.
There's waaay too much great stuff to cover in a quick review, so I'd like to just highlight 3 lessons that I pulled out of the text that stand out.
