Important book for entrepreneurs!

This is one of the most helpful books I’ve ever read about hands-on creating a business. The author is clear, gives me an overview... and then shows the step-by-step path to make it successful. Simple. Results-driven.

I’m an entrepreneur and inventor. I did not go to business school... I’ve been looking for a sensible, easy-to-follow guide to making a business plan that produces results. This is it.

A friend of mine sent me some huge books about making business plans. Those books are so big and cumbersome that I just glance at them as I walk by my bookshelf and marvel at how much money it must have cost her to ship 20 pounds of books. Will I ever read them? Who knows? They are very intimidating.

Then another friend mentioned The 60 Minute Tech Startup. I was able to download it to my Kindle and grasp the whole process in an evening. It also has a plan I can follow over the next 30 days to get my business up and running quickly in a stable, cash-producing way. (I’ve been trying to articulate that for myself over the past few months.) This book gave me an idea that never occurred to me before. It more than paid for itself in the first chapter. Excellent book.

Your online business

If you want to start your own business online, while working a full-time job (or busy with other projects/ commitments) this book will give you the exact steps to follow.

The book starts with a very important clarification - so many people fail, because they attempt to build a multi-million dollar empire right off the bat, without any proven plan or experience. Not only that- many people quit their secure employment (and income) to go for something that has less than 0.0001% chances of success.

So, instead of following the old way which makes most new companies fail, the author offers a solution that can help you embrace both security and freedom. He offers many practical ideas to help people start a side business, and test/set-up businesses in a safe way, so that they can keep working full time or quit their job only when their business is successful and providing a steady income.

With his approach - there's nothing to lose but a lot to gain if you're willing to work hard and smart.

If you want to become an online entrepreneur- this book will help you. If you're already an entrepreneur, self-employed (like I am), this book will give you many ideas to improve your business or start a new one.

Good time management/ productivity/ work organization tips + many interesting resources.

Ramesh Dontha's 'The 60 Minute Tech Startup' - I think it's a Winner

Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2020

Ramesh Dontha's 'The 60 Minute Tech Startup' has the same easy flow as his original book 'The 60 Minute Startup'. I love the real-life examples that start each section, the guidance that forms the body and the wrap-up at the end that allows one to start thinking about and planning how to implement it for one's own tech Startup.

The book itself is an easy read, so the bulk of the 60 minutes needed to be committed to each day can be easily spent on the thinking and design for one's own business, and the implementation of the ideas themselves... which is just as it should be. It's easy to get caught up in the learning and never getting to the implementation, something that Ramesh seems to anticipate and has designed the book to guard against.

I found only a couple of places where I was looking for an app or SaaS that I like to use and didn't see it, but given that most of the popular ones are listed, it's a great collection and reference point. Plus, as you start looking up the sites suggested, and have the time, you are sure to find more. For a quick execution and start, I think the information given is a huge time saver and boost.

Mr. Dontha, I think you have another winner in this book!

Starting a business is tricky. There are many things you'll need to get right and its often overwhelming for people just starting out. Ramesh lays out simple and easy to follow daily tasks to help build confidence, avoid burnout and ensure you're focusing on the most important tasks first. I wish this book existed when I had started building businesses, it would have been a live safer!

A must read!!! Practical knowledge from true entrepreneurs

This book is a must-read book of business knowledge pulled from real life entrepreneurs in the technology space. Ramesh was able to pull out the experiences and translate them to readers in a way that adds value. Ramesh also managed to find unique people. He didn't rely on the standard set of tech names. He found new players in the field that fly below the mainstream radar but are making waves in their own right. Do yourself a favor and grab this gem today. You will not regret it.

OK I always write totally honest reviews so here goes. I have not totally finished the book. I started it and then glanced through it. What I saw was really great and will no doubt help me with my business start up. So far I have been on a losing track with $$$ spent and little coming in if any. I think that this book will help turn that around!

The book is enjoyable to read for a technical topic. The 60 minutes over 30 days is a convenient way to capture the essential items you need when doing a tech startup. I am not sure that you can really start a company in 30 days, but for me that isn't the point. Ramesh approach teaches an entrepreneur to plan and start quickly, with low startup costs. It is a very useful blueprint to ideate and plan for a technology startup. Well worth the read
