Summary

Fraser Doherty's 48-Hour Start-Up is your handy and essential cheat sheet to starting your own business, giving the key steps for developing an idea and getting it to market quickly.

Almost everyone dreams of starting their own business, but very few do it. What if it had to be only a decision of a weekend, and it didn't cost a fortune?

In 48-Hour Start-Up, Fraser Doherty uses his experience in building a multimillion-dollar company to attempt an experiment: starting with a blank piece of paper, he sets out to start a profitable new business over a weekend, without relying on any technical ability whatsoever. He succeeds, and you can, too, by following his journey. Fraser shares all of his lessons and mistakes and explains all of the shortcuts and online tools that make it possible to:

  • Come up with a business idea without the guesswork
  • Create a kick-ass brand, website and online marketing
  • Promote your product

48-Hour Start-Up pioneers the idea of a microbusiness, a creative outlet, an income stream and a business you can run in your spare time on the weekends, without having to quit the day job. This audiobook is perfect for:

  • Young entrepreneurs
  • Students learning about start-ups
  • Established entrepreneurs looking for shortcuts
  • Teams within corporates who want to create more innovative and competitive environments

Nice quick and to the point read

Very good book with some great guerilla tactics to get your business idea of the ground.

The key idea here is action. Think then execute.

"Action does make it so".

Great book

This book was recommended to me by a friend and it has not disappointed.
The only thing that I would say is 48hrs to start a business it's the easiest part the hardest part comes after the 48hrs, however this still a great book for those who are looking for some sort of guide.
