If you only read one book about entrepreneurship, Read this one

If you only want to read one book about entrepreneurship, my personal view is that "The Art of the Start: The Time-Tested, Battle-Hardened Guide for Anyone Starting Anything" written by Guy Kawasaki is the ONE.
You can read most part online from Google Book at http://books.google.com/books?id=-gXlwJnnNoEC&lpg=PP1&dq=label%3A%22entrepreneurship%22&pg=PP1#v=onepage&q=&f=false

By the way, Guy Kawasaki's blog "How to Change the World" is also a great resource for aspiring entrepreneur.

100% agree with you!

If you like this one I suggest following up with the next book Reality Check

As as a follow-up, here is an article by Guy that is written with the current climate in mind:

Also, if you don't read the book, here is an article that is more or less excerpted from it:

This leads to targeted and simple pitch decks.

if you're lazier than the above, just read this :P

a PowerPoint presentation should have ten slides, last no more than twenty minutes, and contain no font smaller than thirty points
