Short summary

Being an entrepreneur can be daunting, especially at the beginning when it’s usually full of traps and potholes. It can feel lonely and confusing as there are points where a beginner could get stuck. Every entrepreneur has had to ask the question, “Will my business idea work?” Pat Flynn, a serial entrepreneur, takes pride in turning dreamers into achievers, thus answering that question. The bestselling author wrote “Will It Fly” as a guide for upcoming entrepreneurs on the most important aspect of the business-building process — the fundamentals. This summary consists of a step-by-step approach to unlock the keys to building a highly profitable business. If you want to get started on business the right way, then this is for you. “Does your idea have merit? Will it be successful in the market you’re trying to serve, or will it just be a waste of time and resources? Is it a good idea for you and the life you want to live? In other words, will it fly?” ~ Pat Flynn

first key point

One isn’t an entrepreneur because of their idea; it takes a commitment to follow through actionably

Listen the first key point

You have an idea, or maybe a hundred. They could be new or ones you’ve thought about for years. It could be a couple of words on the back of a napkin, or perhaps you’ve already crushed through dozens of spiral notebooks detailing exactly how it’s all going to work and what it looks like.

When people get ideas, they get possessed by those ideas that take up most human brain space. It doesn’t matter what they’re doing; out of nowhere, ideas can suddenly energize people like a bolt of lightning.
Having an idea is not the real deal; the big deal is committing to take action to execute your idea. But there’s the tricky part — getting it right.
While failure is a part of the process of becoming a successful entrepreneur — and life, in general — a little bit of time upfront to validate an idea can make all the difference in the world. Imagine working on an idea for years only to realize that it’ll never work. This book is here to stop you from taking entrepreneurial actions you’ll end up regretting. Even more importantly, it will lead you directly to take steps that will make your entrepreneurial journey a blissful success.
second key point

To attain success as an entrepreneur, you need to glimpse into your future

The life of an entrepreneur is a life of freedom. If you decide to be an entrepreneur, you choose to live life on your own terms shaping it to whatever you want it to be. While it isn’t always a bed of roses, it is only through the thorns that you can learn, grow, and course-correct in order to build something successful and meaningful. Failing means you’ve missed the mark, but it doesn’t ever mean you’re done.

Headway is the answer! No longer accumulating books I never read. With Headway, I initially chose the areas important to me such as productivity, time management, etc., and each day I'm provided several book summaries from which I devote 20 minutes or more each day reading. All of this on my phone! My life has improved with Headway. Truly my most useful app.

In today’s world, we rarely have time. Between our jobs, our families are social obligations, when do we have time to grow and develop ourselves? Headway is an excellent app that gives you that time it gives you those little snippets of information that you need to direct your focus in on your life. Headway gives you a chance to find out the meat of a book that you might want to purchase and read or listen to in-depth without wasting a lot of time trying to figure out is this book for me? I highly recommend the app.

I've gotten multiple books out of the library with the intent to read them, but always have a hard time finding the time. This app has helped me finally be able to get to them. Summarized, yes, and thank goodness too! Just short enough I can finish one on my way picking kids up from school/practice, or while I'm cooking dinner. I can't wait to listen to them over the summer when we visit the beach!

It amazed me! There is the possibility to highlight the most important points of each book and instantly translate unfamiliar vocabulary. With the ability to review the searched words. It's a great way to learn more about English as well. The price is great.

I’m enjoying what I’m learning on headway.each summary comes with quotes at the end which you can save to help you remember key points. You can listen or read, I’ve found that reading puts me to sleep before I can finish but the listening feature keeps me engaged and I can finish in a brief amount of time if not one session.

Exactly what I need! I always have booklist to read, but can't committed enough to finish/start bc of too much pages. Headway is really helpful and concise with their summary. What I love the most is that the essence of the book is well crafted, so I don't only read the key points, but also there's the story and how personality of the author still well shown through the summary. Well done!
