Filled with common sense and practical, actionable,
advice, Nick Huber's book reveals that you don't have to be a genius with a
world-changing idea to build a business empire and become a multi-millionaire.
Business media, television and movies, and top college
courses all tell entrepreneurs the same thing: To succeed in business, you need
to have a revolutionary idea. To them, success is about changing the world
through constant innovation. But the truth is, 99.999 percent of businesses
that pursue this strategy will fail.
In The Sweaty Startup, Nick Huber shows us that
you don't need a ton of money, a brilliant new idea, complex technology, or
extreme scale to succeed. There is another way to do business and find success
by keeping things simple. Nick encourages readers to pursue opportunities with
good odds, low risk, and moderate rewards that will set you up for a successful
life, not just a successful business. Forget about mastering your craft, Huber
advises. Focus on mastering sales, hiring, and delegation instead. It's not
about doing what you love or pursuing your passion. It's about following the
path of least resistance and executing on a proven idea in a proven market to
win.
Bringing together the stories of dozens of successful
businesses, including his own, Huber reveals an accessible but often-overlooked
path to wealth and a life well-lived. To Nick, entrepreneurship isn't about
trying to reinvent the wheel. It's not about new ideas, raising venture capital
funding, or going on Shark Tank. Instead, it's about doing
common things uncommonly well. The Sweaty Startup is a
refreshing and straightforward road map outlining his philosophy for a new
generation of entrepreneurs.
