Rajesh Sharma’s Book Demystifies the Real Startup Journey
Rajesh Sharma wrote a book about what it is really like to build a company.

He says founders are ordinary people, not superheroes.
The important difference is that they take action on their ideas.
Sharma describes three stages called impossible, improbable and inevitable.
He tells founders to begin with small goals and learn from customers.
He also says belief is important when other people are not yet convinced.
The book explains how to build teams, handle problems and grow a business carefully.
