Continuing to read: The Lean Startup

My second entry on my read of Eric Reis' book The Lean Startup. This great quote comes up right at the beginning:
"And we really were on to something. We were building a way for college kids to create online profiles for the purpose of sharing ... with employers. Oops."
He then goes on to say "There is a mythmaking industry hard at work to sell us [that we too can achieve fame and fortune], but I have come to believe that the story is false, the product of selection bias and after-the-fact rationalization." There's a great book called Fooled by Randomness I read a while ago that gives a lot of food for thought on the source of success.


But, it's not all luck. Reis goes on to write that startup success can be engineered by following the right process.
