Wish I had read this earlier
Short, honest and practical. The chapter on validating before investing saved me from putting my savings into an idea nobody had asked for.

Dr. Vikrant Bhujbalrao jumped into business without a family business background, the right knowledge, a mentor or a coach. The venture failed, and with it went five crucial years, a lot of money and, most importantly, his confidence.
What followed was a bounce back — and a decade of coaching thousands of aspiring founders. Before YOU Jump into Business distils those lessons into a short, practical read: how to check if you are ready, how to test an idea before investing in it, and how to avoid the mistakes that sink most first-time founders.
Who it's for: Students, working professionals and homemakers thinking about starting a business

Straight talk
No jargon — reads like a mentor talking to you over chai. Good first book for anyone thinking of quitting a job to start up.
