Starting Something
Okay... time to finally do this.
I have often been asked by those that have read Starting Something if I would be willing to share more than was put down in that linear sequence of pages. My standard answer has been that... "yeah... I should probably get around to that."
When I give presentations to assorted groups on the subjects touched upon in the book, I do indeed often refer to some of the chapters that I cut during the grueling
editing stage. So... it is now time to get some of that stuff in the public record. I will post some of those edited chapters and sections here.
Also... I have recently become so caught up in the startup thing again at Attainia, that I have no time at all to promote the book. That has made me aware that another time has come as well... time to release the book into the public domain.
I did not write Starting Something for profit... and in this I have succeeded. While the book seems to be popular with those who read it, the current audience is primarily limited to students in classes at the many colleges that use the book. Now that I have reached that point at which I am unlikely to recover more of the costs I incurred to create the book, it is time to set it free. So... I am now working to produce the book in several electronic formats for free downloading. More on this later. For now... I will begin posting full chapters from the book, in order, on this blog. I will intersperse these posts with other related stuff. Of course, I will still sell the book in hardcover and paperback through the standard channels.
I hope that at least a few aspiring entrepreneurs will stumble upon these posts and benefit in some small way from them. I welcome ideas on how best to distribute the electronic versions of Starting Something.
