It's time to leapfrog the only hurdle between you and a million-dollar company. More people than ever want to be their own boss, but venturing forward with your own business can be hugely intimidating. Are you investing effort in ideas that have no basis in customer demand? Are you shying away from even considering starting your own business? Noah Kagan knew this feeling all too well, but has since discovered how to banish the one simple thing holding aspiring entrepreneurs back, to become a 7-figure founder. MILLION DOLLAR WEEKEND offers an into-the-deep-end process for overcoming fear and perfectionism and making the business of your dreams a reality. Step-by-step, Noah shows what it takes to oust fear and build the "ask muscle", and shares practical advice that every entrepreneur needs to master. By demystifying what it takes to start a business, turning risk into realistic action and fear into fun, this is the beginning of your journey to successful entrepreneurship. And the best part? You can kickstart this process in a weekend.

The Surprisingly Simple Way to Launch a 7-Figure Business in 48 Hours

Million Dollar Weekend

Entrepreneurship is nothing more than the ability to come up with ideas, and the courage to try them out. To experiment, experiment, experiment. To fail, fail, fail. Until you succeed. Just start. And then… start again.

People do not want to be lectured by an all-knowing guru - they want to tag along with a guide.

Even if you are a great surfer with an amazing board, you will still fail if you don’t have a good wave to ride.

Don’t let doubt from another dissuade you from finding out the truth. The only opinion that matters if your customer’s.

Don’t be afraid to act. Be afraid of living a life that seems more like a résumé than an adventure.

Experiments are supposed to fail. And should they fail, you just take what you’ve learned and try again a little bit differently.

Well written framework with steps broken down, and great real life examples. Inspiring read. 

The first and last third are great, you can probably skip the second one.

Noah Kagan's book "Million Dollar Weekend" has a somewhat misleading title.  It's not about making a million dollars overnight. The book actually outlines a framework for setting up the foundation of a business with million-dollar potential in just 48 hours—a weekend.

My initial impression of the book is that it's more than just a typical self-help or business book; it feels like a motivational speech with a green cover.

tl;dr: I think "Million Dollar Weekend" is an excellent resource for wantrepreneurs who talk about starting something but never get around to it. It might just be the motivational push they need.

Noah Kagan's book "Million Dollar Weekend" has a somewhat misleading title.  It's not about making a million dollars overnight. The book actually outlines a framework for setting up the foundation of a business with million-dollar potential in just 48 hours—a weekend.

My initial impression of the book is that it's more than just a typical self-help or business book; it feels like a motivational speech with a green cover.

Here are some of my key takeaways:

- Noah Kagan, the founder of AppSumo, has inspired me for years with his casual and humorous approach to business, encouraging swift action and simplification of processes.

- "Million Dollar Weekend" embodies Noah's philosophy, focusing on practical steps rather than promoting unrealistic online business models. It's about taking action, validating ideas, earning initial income, gathering feedback, and creating momentum.

- The book is not limited to any specific type of business model; it's flexible enough to apply to various entrepreneurial ventures.

- At around 200 pages, the book is easy to digest and is structured in a way that also allows it to be used as a workbook.

- Noah has demonstrated the effort required to develop and market a book, and I feel he has succeeded in creating a book with personality that includes principles familiar to his followers, like "The Law of 100."

- While "Million Dollar Weekend" may not serve as a step-by-step guide for already successful entrepreneurs, it can offer valuable insights and reminders to simplify and focus on immediate action.

tl;dr: I think "Million Dollar Weekend" is an excellent resource for wantrepreneurs who talk about starting something but never get around to it. It might just be the motivational push they need.
