Goodreads

Jon Nastor is a famous podcaster by the name of Hack the Entrepreneur which shares same title as the book. I picked this book because I read somewhere about it in which they mentioned as quote from Nastor that no body is born an entrepreneur. It is sort of a skill plus lifestyle that you have to create, build around and live. Though after picking up this book, I can say, there are some inspiring moments mentioned in this book.

Jon Nastor’s entrepreneurial journey began in 2011 when he started some of his business online. In 2012, he was running a software company from his laptop and by travelling the world to play drums in a rock band. Might sound like a fantasy, but Jon shows clear appreciation of what Internet has brought on the table, not only for himself but like many others. His podcast channel has received over a million downloads and contains 200+ interviews.

The main focus in this book is converting an Idea into reality, pragmatically. Jon has put enough emphasis on pragmatic views and lessons learned in his own journey. There are enough tips on avoiding procrastination, validating your idea and getting inspired. I mean the title is something, isn’t it?

The chapters are quite short, majority of them two pages at max. Smartly entitled, with a perfect quote to describe what comes ahead. This book has some amount of business virtues as well as story of Jon’s journey.
