Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'A scathingly honest memoir of entrepreneurship's dark reality. I would advise every entrepreneur--or anyone who dreams of becoming one--to read this book.'--Eric Schurenberg - CEO, Fast Company and Inc.A young tech entrepreneur's memoir of building his hugely successful company and the mental and physical price he paid for itAt the age of twenty-six, John Roa was an aspiring but struggling entrepreneur. He was broke, racking up debt, and ready to give up on his dream of being self-made. In a final effort, he founded the design firm ÄKTA, which quickly became one of the fastest growing startups in America, and just five years later, he sold it for a fortune to Salesforce, the largest company in San Francisco. This is his account of rising from a self-described below-average student to becoming a poster boy for the successful young entrepreneur, while nearly destroying himself in the process. His journey is an absurd, twisting, and often comical story of talent, luck, rapidly changing technology, larger-than-life personalities, sex, gambling, and excessive alcohol and drug consumption-which ultimately took their toll, resulting in a spectacular burnout that he almost didn't survive. As he healed in the aftermath, he began to question the ethos that had brought him to that dark place, and over time, came to realize how common these debilitating issues are in entrepreneurship, even if they are rarely discussed openly. Rather than another glamorous rags-to-riches saga, A Practical Way to Get Rich . . . and Die Trying is a cautionary and deeply honest memoir about the price of success for ambitious young people, who are so often unprepared for the adversity, mental health issues, and abuse that can come along with 'making it.' It also serves as the foundation for a campaign of honesty and vulnerability, in an industry that currently lacks both.…

Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. A young tech entrepreneur's memoir of building his hugely successful company and the mental and physical price he paid for itAt the age of twenty-six, John Roa founded KTA, a Chicago-based tech-consulting and design firm that became one of the fastest-growing companies in America, which he sold in 2015 for a fortune to the largest tech company in San Francisco, Salesforce. His account of his rise from a self-described below-average student, to becoming a poster boy for the ambitious, successful young entrepreneur, to nearly destroying himself in the process is the subject of A Practical Way to Get Rich . . . and Die Trying. Roa's twenty-year-long journey from being dead-broke to wealth he never imagined is an absurd and often comical story of talent, luck, risk, rapidly changing technology, larger-than-life personalities, sex, gambling, and excessive alcohol and drug consumption. Roa's intention for his memoir is not to present a glamorous rags-to-riches saga, but, instead, to serve as a cautionary tale of the toll that entrepreneurship can take on ambitious young people unprepared for the peril, responsibility, long hours, relentless pressure to grow and be profitable, and the physical and mental costs that "making it" can take. Those pitfalls are seldom acknowledged in the romanticism that pervades the tech scene, and they eventually took their toll on Roa, who, in the face of round-the-clock pressure and risk taking, ultimately suffered a psychotic breakdown from which he almost didn't walk away. As he healed in the aftermath, he began to question the ethos that had brought him to that dark place, and he learned from other entrepreneurs that they, too, had experienced similar debilitating issues that they felt unable to admit, let alone discuss.A Practical Way to Get Rich . . . and Die Trying is a compelling memoir and the foundation for a strong and important campaign of honesty and vulnerability in an industry that currently allows neither. Roa aims to be the bridge to helping young leaders confront mental health issues and abuse that too often accompany the tech startup that so many have embraced as their salvation for their future. A young tech entrepreneur's memoir of building his hugely successful company and price he paid for it.
