    About The $100 Startup by Chris Guillebeau

    In The $100 Startup: Reinvent the Way You Make a Living, Do What You Love, and Create a New Future, author Chris Guillebeau examines the steps taken by hundreds of successful business owners who have built and grown their startups with very small investments (often less than $100). He focuses on the most useful and interesting case studies, delving into the journey of the business owner from small startup to prosperous business to complete financial freedom and flexibility.

    What makes this book so useful? The people Guillebeau interviews are regular people with no specialized skills, little capital, and little to no business experience. He takes what he learns from these people—their mistakes, successes, and tips—and compiles the information into an actionable, easy-to-read guide. His message is both simple and inspiring: you don’t need an MBA to launch your very own startup. You just need to figure out what it is that people want, give them that thing, and find a way to get paid for it.
