FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE--PATRON PHILOSOPHER OF TODAY'S DISRUPTIVE ENTREPRENEURS

His favorite personality was a "free spirit": an obsessed individual with a vision of the future and the will to make it so, a rebel who creates the future with childlike enthusiasm.

Now, serial entrepreneur Dave Jilk and venture capitalist Brad Feld extract from Nietzsche a modern Art of War, connecting the dots to our high-tech business environment.

Each quick, digestible chapter expands on a quote from Nietzsche to stimulate your thinking about a vital aspect of entrepreneurship, and stories from entrepreneurs help make the ideas concrete.

Understand why hitting bottom might be the best thing that can happen, how your firm's "artistic style" can align your organization, and the role obsession plays in your success--and your definition of it.

Glean insight and inspiration from every page of this surprising, approachable gem.

It is worth it!

I bought this book after listening to an interview with one of the authors - Brad Feld. My general attitude on buying this sort of book is if I get one or two ideas it's a good investment. I have already picked up one very good nugget of an idea fomr this book and look forward to more.

In the Introduction we read "Rather than grinding through chapter after chapter, we encourgage you to reflect on the quote, eassay, and narative during the course of the workweek. Does something fit..."

Well that runs against my need for immediate gain and honestly I thought I made a mistake. So I skipped a few chapters...

The chapter Overcoming Obstacles made not much sense at first. The authors said [more or less] that we feel that understanding a problem allows you to work at it and overcome it. Which isn't necessarily true - according to them. I run my own startup and much of what I do is overcome obstacles by understanding them and working to overrcome them.

Instead they advise...

"For your business to succeed you need to set audacious goals... This sets up a conflict that is ripe to produce disappointment. There is no silver bullet... The first step is to stop being surprised and upet when it happens" How long do you [try to apply the same old solutions] before you look for another route?."

I am not touchy feely and just shook my head at this. Oh well not every book is a winner. Slowly, without really trying, my thinking changed and I saw that the incremental improvements we were chasing aren't worth much. I decided to try audacious. In the past several weeks we've started an exciting new product plan, hired on new employees and consultants, and began to revamp aspects of our marketing message.

The jury is still out - it's early. But the company has picked up an energy we haven't seen since those earliest of days.

So I continue to pick through Brad's book. Somethings his ideas seem interesting - sometimes maybe they need more time. But I keep at it.

The one thing I've not been pleased with are the chapter endings. Each chapter concludes with a story that applies to the chapters message. Sort of a drop of reality. I haven't found those stories useful.

And I want to be clear the this book wasn't a light read for me. But with a re-reading, underlining some passages, a few notes, and some time to digest I found that Brad has good advice in his work.

Mind Blown. Nietzsche for Entrepreneurs? Who besides Dave and Brad could have written this?

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 25, 2021

Verified Purchase

A recent conversation between Seth Godin and Shane Parish went like this:

Shane: “I have a friend who is writing a book, and I said, ‘Who is the book for?’ He said it’s for everybody.”
Seth: (without equivocation or hesitation): “That book is going to fail. I will happily put that in writing this very minute.”

The authors of Entrepreneurs Weekly Nietzsche have not made this mistake. They surely did not write this book for everybody. I’ve known Dave Jilk and Brad Feld, since the mid 90s. I have a deep appreciation and respect for them both. And when I was reading this book, it seemed to me they had written it for me and a few hundred of my friends who are entrepreneurs. If you’re an entrepreneur, when you read it, you’ll understand. I’m pretty sure they wrote it for you, too.

Over the past twenty five years, I’ve started quite a few companies. Throughout my journey, a healthy and sometimes humbling mix of failure and success, I’ve had the benefit of support and counsel from people like Brad and Dave. But I never had Nietzsche. Authors often write a preface to remind the reader that “the failures are mine and mine alone.” Great entrepreneurs have this understanding too (see “Taking Responsibility” in the Leadership section of this book). And while entrepreneurial success requires leadership success often has at least as much to do with the timing or good fortunate and the extraordinary people you’ve been fortunate to work with as co-founders, team members, investors, partners, and customers (see “Gratitude”).

This book includes vignettes from the entrepreneurs who have been living what Nietzsche wrote about. These are brief, relevant, often powerful stories – many from leaders I’ve known for many years, often sharing stories from their own perspectives that are familiar to me because I know the people and the companies involved first-hand. Their journeys are their journeys, not mine, but their stories and their learnings are so familiar to me that they might as well be telling any of my stories. And if you’re an entrepreneur, I’ve no doubt you’ll see yourself in this too.

This stuff is real. And real can sometimes be beautiful, uplifting, and powerful. At other times, real is the pain you’re experiencing or the pain you know others are experiencing. This stuff is hard.

So, is Nietzsche for entrepreneurs, helpful, valuable? Yes! More than you can imagine. And whatever you and I may have imagined, Dave and Brad have imagined still more: in one of several appendices they speculate that at some point in the future Nietzsche’s circle of influence will have extended to “entrepreneurs” with your name listed as the leading example. I hope they're right and I live long enough to see your name in that space.

Here's my own little bit of gratuitous advice. Buy the book, read it, use it. And if you happen to be an entrepreneur starting a new venture, do what Dave and Brad did. Make sure the focus of your next venture is something worth doing, something that isn't likely to be done at all unless you do it.

Packed with ideas and inspiration . . .

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on June 6, 2021

What a book. I read about 5 biz books every month. I really read them (vs 15 minute summary versions). This has quickly become one of my favs. With this book, you can read a brief chapter here and jump to one somewhere else entirely by following recommendations 'to expand on this topic' at the end of each chapter ... or you might take it one page after another. You might take notes and dive in deep or read a page and think for hours before reading the next page ... perhaps you'll read a chapter four times (they are quick reads) ... you can read through this thoughtful book in an infinite number of ways for ideas & inspiration and pathways to solve some of the biggest challenges we all face as entrepreneurs that are really trying to change the world. FWIW, while reading it, I've done all of the above. The book is packed with ah-ha moments. Buying one for each of my leadership team and Board.
