You'll learn how to evaluate your business with a critical eye, and how early customer development can be key in turning a good idea into a great opportunity. If you're serious about building a business that lasts, this book provides invaluable guidance that you really cannot miss. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore than five million people will launch a business this year, and many of them will be great ideas--yet few will be around in five years, and even fewer in ten years.
