Not the usual “hire business people”, but “learn and become an expert until you reach your limits”. I should immediately add that it is not an easy book to read and certainly mostly useful to people in the process of launching a start-up or developing new products. His web site steveblank.com is also very informative, you will find tons of slides of his teachings on the web and I particularly recommend the list of books he suggests reading.

My copy is heavily underlined and note riddled, a sure sign that I found it useful. I have purchased another copy for a friend - another good sign - and I will probably buy more. So I've settled on a rating of 3 stars with the caveat that some entrepreneurs will find it a life saved. Tri devici i carj tekst scenki.
