Hey Product Hunt 👋 I’m Diederik, the author of Common Sense: A Guide for Founders. A pocket guide with 100 short practical lessons for (aspiring) founders in business. You can order it here: https://ddrk.gumroad.com/l/commo... You can get the free preview here: https://ddrk.gumroad.com/l/commo... Why did I write this book? There are many books out there about ‘business’ and ‘startups’. But most are overly theoretical or about a ‘one off’ success story you can’t replicate. As a result you end up wasting time and money working on the wrong things by being misinformed. Yes, nothing beats experience doing ‘stuff’. But having a little help doesn’t hurt, does it? So I set out to write the book I wish I had when I was younger. This book is the culmination of a decade of trial and error, and ideas from the world of startups and great thinkers that still stand strong today. It’s based on common sense. That’s why after reading you will be able to focus on what matters and make better decisions. Building a business is already hard enough, so let’s not overcomplicate it. This is your no BS pocket book with practical short lessons. Don’t get lost in all the noise, articles, hypes, and buzzwords. Keep it simple. Go back to the basics. That’s really what this book is all about - without the fluff and BS. What’s in it for you? The full book contains around 125 pages. Each page contains a little gem that will help you make better decisions in business moving forward. Topics range from starting out and ideating, to launching and scaling. I would be honoured if you give it a read and let me know what you think. Enjoy your reading! 📚

@ddrk thank you will give it a read, might be a good idea to link it to the main page, and add a page in goodreads for people to review and get more publicity.
