…money. FWIW, my last startup died because my co-founder and I didn't do it. We wanted to write code. And consequently we failed. I learned this lesson the hard way. If you've not read it, Seth Godin's "Bootstrapper's Bible" is worth a look: http://changethis.com/manifesto/show/8.BootstrappersBible (and it's free at the moment)
See also The Bootstrapper's Bible by Seth Godin. Seth has a much better explanation of the benefits of bootstrapping than anything else I've seen. The eBook version is only three bucks on Amazon too.
I've read the first half of it but I have mixed feelings about it. Yes, the advice is sound but the tone is dry; it lacks enthusiasm. The Bootstrapper's Bible by Seth Godin (and, generally, everything Seth writes or talks about) is much better.
I am writing a book in technology. Something like 'The Learn Startup.' I see usually books are around 300 pages. Do people get time to read in that much depth or books like "Bootstrapper's Bible" that are very short (103 pages) and to the point are read more? The one I am writing is around starting companies.
如果你喜欢这个，那你可能也会喜欢 Seth Godin 的《自力更生创业圣经》（Bootstrapper's Bible）。在 Amazon 上 PDF 版只要两块钱，但我个人从中获益匪浅。

……钱。供参考（FWIW），我上一家 startup 之所以挂掉，就是因为我和合伙人没去做这件事。我们当时只顾着写代码。结果我们就失败了。我是吃了大亏才学到这个教训的。如果你还没读过，Seth Godin 的《自力更生创业圣经》（Bootstrapper's Bible）值得一看：http://changethis.com/manifesto/show/8.BootstrappersBible（而且目前是免费的）

另见 Seth Godin 的《自力更生创业圣经》（The Bootstrapper's Bible）。关于 bootstrapping 的好处，Seth 的解释比我见过的任何内容都要透彻得多。电子书版本在 Amazon 上也只要三块钱。

我强烈建议去粗读一下 Seth Godin 的《自力更生创业圣经》（The Bootstrapper's Bible）。http://www.changethis.com/8.BootstrappersBible
I highly recommend taking a skim through Seth Godin's "The Bootstrapper's Bible". http://www.changethis.com/8.BootstrappersBible
我读了前半部分，但感受很复杂。确实，建议都很中肯，但语气太干巴了，缺乏热情。Seth Godin 的《自力更生创业圣经》（The Bootstrapper's Bible）（以及总的来说 Seth 写的或讲的所有东西）要好得多。

我正在写一本科技类的书。有点像《精益创业》（The Lean Startup）。我看通常的书都在 300 页左右。大家真有时间读得那么深吗，还是像《自力更生创业圣经》（Bootstrapper's Bible）这种非常短小精悍（103 页）、直奔主题的书看的人更多？我写的这本是关于创办公司的。
