Book excerpt: Many startups and entrepreneurs fail because they do not validate their startup business idea. I run some of the largest startup communities on LinkedIn. One of the largest communities that I moderate and engage on LinkedIn has around 300,000 global members including startups, venture capitalists, entrepreneurs, mentors and global experts. With my own experience of working with many startups, entrepreneurs, corporates and my regular interactions with successful business ventures I have understood the importance of validating your startup business idea before launching your product or services in the market.In this book not only have I collected my thoughts and experiences for validating a business idea but I have reached out to many experts globally to understand how to validate a business idea before going all out and launching your own business. Who Is This Book For ? It is extremely important that you validate your startup business idea in the market if you are a wannabe entrepreneur, a student, homemaker, professional, expert or anyone who is trying to launch a startup business This is extremely important for you to understand this right from the ideation stage itself. Sometimes in the enlightenment of the business idea or in the haste of getting things done faster with shortcuts (Howsoever the idea might be great), we end up doing the following: 1. We forget the simple basics 2. We tend to overlook similar experiences 3. We do not take stable advises 4. We rush into getting things done faster 5. We often get misguided 6. We overlook readily available data 7. We sometimes ONLY look at money and not the business process 8. We don't validate things before going all out Why This Book? Time and again I have seen my friends, colleagues, students, awesome entrepreneurs, startups (including myself) getting into a new business without validating their startup business idea. This often has led to extremely disastrous and sometimes fatal outcomes. Lot of things get on stake when you risk getting into a new business e.g. you risk your time, money, resources, relationships, career etcNever hurry into things. Always validate things from a rational and practical perspective. This will give you depth, more understanding and a far clear picture of how, when,where and what to do while going ahead into a new ventureThis book is a step to overcome all those hassles and validate your awesome business idea.
