[PRE-ORDER] The Startup Career Guide (book PDF)

There's a company missing at every job fair: yours. 

This book is a quick look at the types of companies you might start (pursuing scale, reliability, or freedom) and how to get started. 

This book is aimed at folks new to, but curious about the paths of entrepreneurship, ranging from location-independent freelancing through to scalable tech startups and repeatable cafe franchises. It's intended as a "wow I didn't know that option existed" style book for high-schoolers and university students, and should also be a helpful survey for anyone who's wondering how to get started on their own. 

Parents: buy one for your kid. Entrepreneurship is a valuable option for them to know about, and there are ways of making it less risky and more reliable than you'd think.
