What entrepreneurs need to knowfrom those who've hoed the row.

In his forward for 20/20 Hindsight, Sir Richard Branson sums up the central hurdle presented to books about entrepreneurship: Since entrepreneurship is often about not following the book, how can a book tell you how to be a better entrepreneur? The answer is to collect lessons and experiences from successful entrepreneurs themselves. And that's what this book does, combing the wisdom culled from hundreds of entrepreneurs on topics including the "initial brainwave," handling growth, setting up offices, and planning for the future. The book also includes checklists for charting your personal progress.
