Current Project: Reading books about entrepreneurs and sharing what I learned from them

Mission: Create a library of wisdom from notable entrepreneurs that current entrepreneurs can leverage to increase their chances of success

What I struggled with:

• It’s been significantly harder than I expected to create descriptions of books. This threw off my schedule for the week. So, I haven’t gotten as much done as I planned, and my deadline for the conference I’m attending is this upcoming week.

What I learned:

• People know the benefits of exercise but often don’t make the time. Trainers can help them exercise. Similarly, entrepreneurs know the benefits of reading but don’t make the time. I see an opportunity to help entrepreneurs read more as a way to solve problems faster.
• There’s also an opportunity to create better descriptions of books—descriptions that appeal to what entrepreneurs want to know about books before they read them.
• Adding user comments and insights to a book library would enrich the data and make it more valuable to entrepreneurs.
• Linkages between various data sources on my blog are valuable to readers because they can easily follow the connections, but creating them is time-consuming. It needs to be done programmatically to make it scalable.

Those are my struggles and learnings from the week!
