ENTREPRENEUR RESOURCES
The hallmark of greatness is consistency. Once you find an idea that you can exploit with the Business Ideas cards, the next step is to go from this stage to successfully launching your product or business. Below is a list of books we hope will help you during your journey. Learning from people who were in situations similar to yours saves you time and effort; “Survival machines that can simulate the future are one jump ahead of survival machines who can only learn based on overt trial and error. The trouble with overt trial is that it takes time and energy. The trouble with overt error is that it is often fatal. Simulation is both safer and faster. The evolution of the capacity to simulate seems to have culminated in subjective consciousness.”-Richard dawkins
