Lucky or Smart? by Bo Peabody -- a Quick and Great Read
Today I went to take a look at the gates in Central Park... I hadn't seen them yet and didn't want to let the opportunity pass. On the subway ride there, I read Lucky or Smart? Secrets to an Entrepreneurial Life by Tripod founder Bo Peabody. What a great book!
First off, it's 58 pages, so I'm not sure if you can even call it a book. One of my favorite sections is the chapter called "Entrepreneurs are B-Students. Managers are A-students." It's something I've always believed. Here's a snippet:
"B-Students don't know everything about anything and are excellent at nothing. B-Students do, however, know something about a lot of things, and they can complete almost any task with some modicum of competence...Entrepreneurs are B-Students."
I'm a B-Student. Brad Feld does a great job at summarizing this book over at his blog.
