Aaron Ross and Jason Lemkin have a great book out titled From Impossible to Inevitable: How Hyper-Growth Companies Create Predictable Revenue. Now, it’s a mixture of the good stuff from the book Predictable Revenue and the site SaaStr, which are both must-reads for entrepreneurs.
Here are five choice quotes from the book:
- It’s always better to “show” rather than “tell” (stop talking and prove it).
- It takes three to six months to go from scratch to consistent pipeline generation — and longer for revenue. Stick it out!
- When you do something new, hire two. With one person, you can’t tell if what is working is due to the person or to the process.
- You’ll fail in SaaS if you don’t commit to spending 24 months to achieve initial traction.
- When you’re pursuing anything vitally important to you, you can figure it out when you embrace the challenge and growth rather than avoid it.
