Summary of Ken Colwell's Starting a Business QuickStart Guide

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Ideas are the beginning of everything, but they are not the end. Everything that has been created by people started out as an idea, but not everything that has been an idea has been created. Execution is the key to making opportunities valuable. #2 Opportunities are an extension of the entrepreneur. They are not just waiting around for an enterprising entrepreneur to come and find them. They are a result of the entrepreneur’s unique blend of background, talent, insight, and perspective. #3 The process of finding ways to evolve ideas into opportunities should be a structured and disciplined one. Instead of searching for new ideas or knowledge, focus on solutions to existing problems. The simpler the better. #4 Opportunities exist because different people have access to different information. What is an idea for one entrepreneur may be an opportunity for another who has the resources and the means to execute it.
