Lucky or Smart?
Secrets to an Entrepreneurial Life
Lucky or Smart is the 2005 production of 6 time entrepreneur, young multi-millionaire, and Tripod founder Bo Peabody. This is an awesome book written by an entrepreneur, for entrepreneurs; very honest and concise. I picked this one up at the 2005 Entrepreneur's Exchange in Kansas City. This book was Tom Lauerman's pick. Tom is the current EE president, and is also known for being my favorite investor. (cough)Bo Peabody has had some amazing and fortunate things happen to him that he would attribute to good luck. But he has done them time and time again -- something that others would attribute to smarts. Bo says only that he was smart enough to realize when he was getting lucky, and he drives to teach you to do the same thing. Bo even goes so far as to argue that there is a pseudo scientific formula for creating business luck. Lucky things happen to entrepreneurs who create fundamentally innovative, morally compelling, and philosophically positive companies. Why? Because smart people gather there and work hard -- and when that happens, luck shows up!I wrote a 5 page summary for this book, but it's a quick read anyhow and his anecdotes are useful and entertaining. You're better off just getting it straight from the source.
