The Intelligent Entrepeneur

I just finished reading the book "The Intelligent Entrepreneur". 
An insightful, and very practical in some way to know what you will have
to go through once you decided to start up a company.
The Intelligent Entrepreneur by Bill Murphy Jr.

Marc Cenedella, one of three "intelligent entrepreneurs" who are described in 
this book, graduated Harvard Business School with a Baker Scholar, which is given to
top 5% of 900 students in the graduate program.

Marc started his own business before he came to Harvard.
He already had started a successful trading company and moved it into black.
But one night, he thought to himself,
that he won't be satisfied by doing that business for the rest of his career.
He chose to go to HBS and started up TheLadders.com after the graduation.

Entrepreneurship is often defined as following; 
"the relentless pursuit of opportunity without regard to resources currently controlled".
So start-up folks dream big.
But the thing is, it is how the idea gets executed.
This book's narrative described in detail how 3 of HBS graduates including Marc,
struggled and succeeded making a company and creating an impact.
