Understanding entrepreneurs

Episode notes

This week Allan takes a bit of a dive into understanding businesses and investment opportunities from the point of view of an entrepreneur.

Allan’s thought for the week

Dividends are nice to have. Having a dividend mindset is more problematic.

Book of the week

This week’s book recommendation is
How to Make a Billion in Nine Steps , By Richard Harpin.

It’s great if you are looking to start your own business. But, at least for our purposes, it is packed with tips on the sorts of things we investors should be watching out for in our research. Even better, Harpin is a British entrepreneur and so the book is written from a British perspective.

Article of the week

Being a founder isn’t all plain sailing, as demonstrated in this week’s article.
