    Startup Mixology by Frank Gruber

    Startup Mixology is first and foremost a book about turning your ideas into action. From the cofounder of media company Tech Cocktail, a veteran entrepreneur and investor who was named one of the most connected people in tech, this book covers the basic “ingredients” of winning entrepreneurship. No abstract theories here — it shows you how to tackle everything from idea generation to launch to marketing to funding and how to start getting things done.

    Once you’ve taken that first step, the journey has only begun. Startup Mixology tells it like it is — and it’s not easy! You’ll learn about the harsh reality of starting up: what happens when you offend your customers, get no attention, or run out of money. These are the stories you don’t always hear in the media.

    Frank Gruber’s Startup Mixology is a clear and thoughtful distillation of what it takes to take an idea and turn it into a business. I encourage entrepreneurs of all backgrounds to read this book and apply its lessons.” —Steve Case, Chairman and CEO, Revolution, Cofounder, AOL, and Chairman, Case Foundation

Tepper’s twelve secrets debunk myths and deliver practical advice as he walks you through what most people don’t know (or refuse to believe) about the process of planning their exit. And although it’s best to start planning the exit as early as possible, the book also delivers advice for those who may have waited too long and feel lost in the face of a rapidly approaching sale.

    Selling the business you worked so hard to build can be a confusing and intimidating proposition. Let Mark Tepper clear away the misconceptions, steer you clear of common mistakes, and help you walk away wealthy!

    Walk Away Wealthy is loaded with practical ideas you can use to maximize the value of your business – to yourself and to the person you sell it to.” – Brian Tracy, Author of Now, Build A Great Business
