The book review for this week is The 10% Entrepreneur by Patrick McGinnis
This is a great book outlining the many different ways anyone can get involved in an entrepreneurial venture. It does not take full time, high risk oriented people to build an entrepreneurial investment portfolio. You can do this in your spare time by offering expertise, contacts, capital, etc. with out having to quit your full time, “anchor” job.
My takeaway from this book is the many ways to structure “payment” for offering your expertise. The best way is to take a small percent ownership stake in the business for consulting for 2 hours a month for 1 or 2 years. I also really liked the foundational checklists outlined for the five stages of the investment process; sourcing, screening, due diligence, final decision and documentation.
