Bootstrapping Startups - Do more with little

If you’re set to launch a business but have limited financial resources, then this book is for you.

The book, Bootstrapping Startups shares my experiences as a budding entrepreneur... my experiences were a mix of a few constructive steps and some naive ones. All these experiences made me better today and you can learn from them without having to repeat the same mistakes.

I have recorded decent successes today, and I'll attribute them to the lessons I've learned along the way. Starting a business with limited financial resources is hard! This is where bootstrapping comes into play.

Bootstrapping a small business can be learned...YES, it can!

In this book you will learn how I did it, my successes, the mistakes I made so you should avoid, and how Fortune 500 companies we admire today bootstrapped their businesses till they became successful.

You'll get insight into how you can run a smaller version of your BIG IDEA instead of halting because of cash. I will show you how to set up a small team, choose a cofounder if you want and how to deploy available cash at the starting phase.

Trust me, this is one guide you'll ever need.
