Budding entrepreneurs face a challenging road. The path is not made any easier by all the clich s they hear about how to make a startup succeed--from platitudes and conventional wisdom to downright contradictions.

This witty and wise guide to the dilemmas of entrepreneurship debunks widespread misconceptions about how the world of startups works and offers hard-earned advice for every step of the journey. Instead of startup myths--legends spun from a fantasy version of Silicon Valley--Rizwan Virk provides startup models--frameworks that help make thoughtful decisions about starting, growing, managing, and selling a business. Rather than dispensing simplistic rules, he mentors readers in the development of a mental toolkit for approaching challenges based on how startup markets evolve in real life.

In snappy prose with savvy pop-culture and real-world examples, Virk recasts entrepreneurship as a grand adventure. He points out the pitfalls that appear along the way and offers insights into how to avoid them, sharing the secrets of founding a startup, raising money, hiring and firing, when to enter a market and when to exit, and how to value a company.

Virk combines lessons learned the hard way during his twenty-five years of founding, investing in, and advising startups with reflections from well-known venture capitalists and experts. His candid advice makes Startup Myths and Models an ideal guide for those readers just embarking on the startup life and those looking for their next adventure.

Very nice if you aren't too pick on actual color.
Size: Single Pelt/2 ft x 3 ft, Color: Blue
Colors may vary. I really liked this, it was the perfect size and that perfect combination of soft and fluffy, but not being "too fluffy" and looking like a shaggy dog that needed a haircut. My only complaint was the color. Supposed to be blue, and I know monitors and lighting distort stuff but this was an obvious turquoise/teal. Much much greener than I was looking for. I could have made any variant of an actual blue work from powder baby to practically navy, but not this. I had to return, but other than the color, this seemed to be a very nice rug. Sad the color was so off.

BEAUTIFUL * SOFT * THICK AND LUXURIOUS
Size: 2' x 6' (Sheepskin Pelt Patchwork), Color: Wolf Tipped, Size: 2' x 6' (Sheepskin Pelt Patchwork), Color: Wolf Tipped
I’m absolutely thrilled with this large sheepskin mat! I ordered two. At first look I was worried think "are they real?" but once taken out of the air tight package and hung out in the sun for the afternoon, the odd dirty dog smell dissipated and the feeling that the fur had a film on it was also gone. The quality is incredible — it’s unbelievably soft, thick, and luxurious. I draped them over my 2 sofa's and it instantly transformed the whole room, making it feel warm, cozy, and elegant. The texture is so plush and comfortable that everyone who visits comments on how beautiful it looks and feels. The size is perfect, the colour is gorgeous, and it adds such a stylish touch to my living space. It feels durable and well-made while still being incredibly soft to sit on. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to add comfort and sophistication to their home!
