Before Asking How, Ask If

Before Asking How, Ask If

Answering questions in business & life to help you make better decisions

About the Book

At the start of 2016, I decided to answer at least one question on Quora, a question-and-answer website, every day. This book is a collection of my best content from Quora. They are answers to often-asked questions about leadership and management, raising capital, investing in startups, markets and predictions, and places. The common thread that stitches these topics together is information and tools for making better decisions – as leaders, entrepreneurs, and investors, including interesting markets and geographies to operate in.
