How to Start a Business

Step 16 The Story Goes On

There's lots more to this story: Stuff I didn't bother to write, stuff I didn't realize was important, and lots more yet to happen. It's been fun! It continues to be fun! I learn something new and interesting almost everyday, and I get to try my hand at lots of different tasks.

I didn't read or hear anything that really pushed me over the edge to start something, but I have come across a few excellent books that have helped put frameworks around many of the things I think about:
The Innovator's Solution
Influence
Buffett: The Making of an American Capitalist
The 4-Hour Workweek
Poor Charlie's Almanack

Here's a friend's take on a very similar theme:
A Story of GameLayers, Inc.

People ask me all the time if it was hard to start a business. Only the first step of truly deciding to go for it is hard. After that, it's a whole bunch of small things that add up to something great. If you make just a little bit of progress everyday, over time you can accomplish a great deal.
