THE HARD THING ABOUT HARD THINGS

Many people talk about how great it is to start a business, but very few are honest about how difficult it is to run one. Ben Horowitz analyzes the problems that confront leaders every day, sharing the insights he’s gained developing, managing, selling, buying, investing in, and supervising technology companies. A lifelong rap fanatic, he amplifies business lessons with lyrics from his favorite songs, telling it straight about everything from firing friends to poaching competitors, from cultivating and sustaining a CEO mentality to knowing the right time to cash in. This book is invaluable for veteran entrepreneurs as well as those aspiring to their own new ventures.
