Rookie to Crown: Building a Business from $500 Before 25

The Season One companion book to The Prospect Race.

The first years of a business, from the first $500, the first customer and the first price to the first hire, the first loan, the first investor, a crash, a dry year and a business that works without you, taught through five 18-year-olds' decisions. Every chapter opens with a player's moment, teaches the real method behind it, shows the numbers and ends with an exercise you do that night.
