Book Description
Between 2012 and 2014, the authors of this book met regularly on weekends to discuss the entrepreneurship scene in India and Kerala in particular. We swapped stories of the budding entrepreneurs, their struggles and successes. We worried about the disappointments, cheered the excitements and patiently waited for the turnarounds of the young men and women who had taken the plunge into the exhilarating environment of entrepreneurship. Over the course of several months, from what we saw firsthand, from what we heard and from what we read, it dawned on us that there is a pattern among the success stories. We began a more structured analysis to see if our hunch was correct. This book is the product of that investigation. We share our realization that more than luck or genius, it is the presence of certain habits that consistently lead to sustained success in the turbulent world of business startup. If you are already on the path to business success, the content will help you fine tune some of the habits. You can look at your own progress from a new perspective. If you have been thinking for a while to get going, let this book be the guide that assists you to acquire the right habits for Startup success. If you are student looking for a safe, salaried job upon graduating, we urge you to read through in order to understand how the business world operates and is fundamentally guided by the entrepreneurial spirit. If you have never thought of being an entrepreneur but have been merely curious, we hope to inspire you to give it a shot, again and again

Book Description
Revised and Updated, Featuring a New Case Study How do successful companies create products people can’t put down? Why do some products capture widespread attention while others flop? What makes us engage with certain products out of sheer habit? Is there a pattern underlying how technologies hook us? Nir Eyal answers these questions (and many more) by explaining the Hook Model—a four-step process embedded into the products of many successful companies to subtly encourage customer behavior. Through consecutive “hook cycles,” these products reach their ultimate goal of bringing users back again and again without depending on costly advertising or aggressive messaging. Hooked is based on Eyal’s years of research, consulting, and practical experience. He wrote the book he wished had been available to him as a start-up founder—not abstract theory, but a how-to guide for building better products. Hooked is written for product managers, designers, marketers, start-up founders, and anyone who seeks to understand how products influence our behavior. Eyal provides readers with: • Practical insights to create user habits that stick. • Actionable steps for building products people love. • Fascinating examples from the iPhone to Twitter, Pinterest to the Bible App, and many other habit-forming products.

Book Description
Features * 6" x 9" (15.24cm x 22.86cm) * 90GSM (grams per square metre) brilliant white paper * 200 pages * Habit tracker Each page is split into 10 sections including: * Date * Daily schedule * Reflection/Gratitude * Manifesting * Actions * Today's tasks * Learning * Mood tracker (morning and evening) * Workout tracker The benefits of keeping a journal have been known for centuries. Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus & Seneca, three of history's best known Stoic's religiously kept journals. Much of the wisdom we follow today is lifted directly from the pages they wrote. These days, people like Tim Ferriss, Matt D'Avela and Brené Brown all attribute a portion of their success to the practice of journalling. Launching a Startup is tough. We need all the support we can get. Keeping our thoughts organised and getting our ideas down on paper helps to stop the anxiety and overwhelm that so often comes with taking the leap to follow our dreams. This 200 page journal has been developed with both mental and physical health in mind. With a habit tracker to make sure momentum is on your side, a built-in daily reflection practice, along with sections for your day to day schedule, it will keep you on track and centred by balancing both micro and macro tasks, helping you bring your Startup to life. Manifesting, or scripting, is the practice of repeatedly thinking aspirational thoughts with the purpose of making them real. Staying positive, knowing exactly why you are building your Startup, can be the difference between successfully launching and giving up when things get tough. That's why we've included a section specifically for writing out your manifestation every day. We've also included sections to track your mood in the morning and in the evening and one for reflection and/or gratitude. Of course, we all know that staying healthy and fit means you have the headspace to find the answers to the difficult questions. We also know it can be tough to get yourself to commit to a consistent routine. That's where the habit tracker comes in. At the front of each StartUp Journal, there's a grid of 200 squares. By putting a cross in each box as you develop you daily practice, we start to embed the habit. Kind of like streaks on Snapchat (or keeping your Tamagotchi alive, depending on our date of birth!) if we're able to visually see a habit forming, we're less likely to break it. We've been where you are now. We know these things work and so everything that we've included is there for a reason. Keep yourself and your Startup on track by picking up your copy of The Startup Journal today.
