Title: Upstart Start-Ups!: How 34 Young Entrepreneurs Overcame Youth, Inexperience, and Lack of Money to Create Thriving Businesses
Author: Ron Lieber
Genre: Non-Fiction, Business

I bought this book maybe 7 years ago when I first start freelancing seriously. I was looking for inspiration and maybe that great idea that was going to make me into a successful entrepreneur who worked for herself and no one else. Clearly that didn't happen but I've never let go of my entrepreneurial spirit and as my photography and photography career grows being a good, creative business woman is more important to me than ever and so I re-read this book for inspiration. This time though I can tell immediately what pieces of advice are good, which are crap, which are worth paying more attention and giving more thought to and which ones should be ignored with extreme prejudice. It's a pretty ok book. I have a page or so of notes from it that I want to think about and work on and incorporate into my business plan and business planning.

Recommended for freelancers, independent spirits, artists and entrepreneurs looking for inspiration based on sound business principles and ideas.
