About this listen
For women entrepreneurs (and anyone sick of the status quo), this smart, unapologetic collection delivers 50 proven hacks to leapfrog over obstacles and succeed in business.
Think the most critical factor for becoming a great entrepreneur is grit, risk taking, or technical skills? Think again. Despite what every other business book might say, historical data show the real secret ingredients to getting ahead in business are being rich, white, and male.
Until now. Leapfrog is the decades-overdue start-up bible for the rest of us. It's filled with uncompromising guidance for winning at business your way. Leapfrog is for entrepreneurs of all stripes who are fed up with status quo advice - the kind that assumes you have rich friends and family and a public relations team.
Refreshingly frank and witty, author Nathalie Molina Niño is a serial tech entrepreneur, the founder and CEO of BRAVA Investments, and a proud daughter of Latinx immigrants. While teaching budding entrepreneurs at Barnard College at Columbia University and searching the globe for investment-worthy start-ups, she has met or advised thousands of entrepreneurs who've gone from zero to scalable business. Here she shares their best secrets in the form of 50 "leapfrogs" - clever loopholes and shortcuts to outsmart, jump over, or straight up annihilate the seemingly intractable hurdles facing entrepreneurs who don't have family money, cultural capital, or connections.

Story
Dan Sullivan, the world's leading coach for highly successful entrepreneurs, wants you to know that achieving 10X growth is exponentially easier than striving for 2X growth. Most find this idea confusing at first because simply imagining 10X growth causes them to think they need to do 10X more work to achieve it. However, being a 10X entrepreneur is nothing like what most people think.

For some people, the thought of quitting their day job to pursue the entrepreneurial life is exhilarating. For many others, it's terrifying. After all, a stable job that delivers a regular paycheck is a blessing. And not everyone has the means or the desire to take on the risks and responsibilities of working for themselves. But what if we could quickly and easily create an additional stream of income without giving up the security of a full-time job? Enter the side hustle.

Story
As high achievers, we’ve been conditioned to believe that the path to success is paved with relentless work. That if we want to overachieve, we have to overexert, overthink, and overdo. That if we aren’t perpetually exhausted, we’re not doing enough. But lately, working hard is more exhausting than ever. And the more depleted we get, the more effort it takes to make progress. Stuck in an endless loop of “Zoom, eat, sleep, repeat”, we’re often working twice as hard to achieve half as much.

At 19, I founded a software company with $119 in my bank account. Five years later, it was valued at $10.5 million. I don't consider myself exceptionally brilliant. I just realized something few people know: You don't need lots of money or an original idea to get really rich. Now, I make more than $100,000 in passive income every month, while also running my own private equity firm and hosting The Top Entrepreneurs podcast, which has more than 10 million downloads. This book will reveal how I went from college dropout to member of the New Rich.

Required reading for entrepreneurs
I highly recommend this book, but not because Nathalie is a good friend and not because I'm mentioned. I recommend this book because it is not only well researched, insightful and unconventional, but it is also engaging, relatable and inspiring. It should be required reading for aspiring and current entrepreneurs.

Outcomes over Optics
So many good hacks for early-stage entrepreneurs. I'm fond of the DIY Business School method and also, taking advantage of white-label solutions. Was talking about white-labeling the other day and wasn't sure if it was a good idea. I'm glad that was mentioned. The whole book is great and to hear it in the author's voice is key! Now we need a post-Covid follow up.

Finally a book on women’s entrepreneurship for people like me!
So grateful for this book. Wow! Having grown up the oldest of six to a roofer in Iowa, it’s been disappointing and depressing to read startup advice for people (even women entrepreneurs do this) who went to Ivy League schools and come from or are married to money. Or worse, when these folks assume that people like me can achieve the same outcomes through the same process, because everyone in their bubble has been able to. It’s not real. But this book is! Straight talk from a woman who gets it, and has found alternatives for women like me. One million thank you’s! If you’re a female entrepreneur and you weren’t born with a silver spoon in hand, get this book. And get another for your girl!
