I wrote the NY Times bestseller: "What They Don't Teach You At Stanford Business School". Its a book about sales, entrepreneurship and character compassing people. My mentor, Mark McCormack wrote, "What They Don't Teach You At Stanford Business School"
My writing centers around mentorship: whether you’re building a business or improving your credit score, it is easier to do with a mentor.
One of my proudest achievements was to testify in Congress on behalf of the financial services industry. Congressman Tom Campbell also wrote the foreword for my last book, "Internet Marketing Secrets" that I co-edited with Gerri Detweiler.
I try to hide the fact that I am old—thank goodness I am Chinese cuz my wrinkles aren’t here yet. When I crash campus gyms to play basketball, I lace my hair with mucho product so people don’t see my grey hair.
In addition to playing basketball, I love to write, coach entrepreneurs, and sneak into dorm cafeterias. Invite me to your house for dinner and I’ll entertain with stories of credit… my email is chiang9@duck9.com
Interests
Basketball, parties and after-parties. I also like making fun of VCs
I live in the heart of silicon valley and moved here for creative reasons.
In 2003, I got this book and let it sit on my shelf until I heard about a Y combinator event at Stanford last year.
I read it before the event where Paul was going to speak and have read it 3x since. It reminds me why I live in palo alto and why I get results by combining hacker, Type A thoughts with left brain, artsy.
Mr. Graham's book will be quoted in my book, "What They Don't Teach You At Stanford Business School" in Chapter 14: Duality. http://www.whattheydontteachyouatstanfordbusinessschool.com/
I got this book as part of "Birthing of Giants". It's a three year retreat for entrepreneurs held for a week in the summer. You get a reading list and they are kind enough to send you books.
It sat in the box until Charles Kremer came to speak to our class. What he presented made the material so clear.
Before, I'd set barriers as to what was comfortable from a cash management point of view. My goals would actually cause pain when they'd be reached.
The relationships between balance sheet, income statement and cash statement are clear. "Beginning position" +/-non cash part of transaction… Read more
I think I consumed this book from a different perspective. As a repeat entrepreneur, I see what makes the technical workings of a functional business starter.
I liked specifically
- being able to learn from another person's mistakes
- confirming what needs to be addressed before even starting a business
- once in a while taking inventory (I never define success so I am never successful)
- focusing on the important (and not just the urgent)
I recommend this book to people in the midst of running a business (or those that can take downtime to re-read the book over the holidays). If you're travelling with the book you might want to check it… Read more
