Robert Tuchman: Young Guns
Robert Tuchman, not too long ago guest posted on Life Before Noon. In that post, he discusses the importance of Web sites, which, among other topics, he elaborates on in his recently-released book, Young Guns: The Fearless Entrepreneur’s Guide to Chasing Your Dreams and Breaking Out on Your Own.
In the 16 chapters that make up Young Guns, Tuchman delivers advice, ideas and encouragement from the decision to start your own company all the way through to its realization.
Tuchman’s down-to-earth writing style makes this read feel as if you’re talking to a good friend, rather than the CEO of a major corporation. What makes it even more personal is Tuchman’s use of examples from his own experience in starting his company as well as testimonials from other entrepreneurs.
Here are the points that stuck with me the most:
- As young people we have some pretty good advantages in starting our own company. Those advantages are our energy, persistence and commitment. Through those three attributes we have the capability to start and run a successful business.
- Focus on the why, not the how. A lot of entrepreneurs spend too much time worrying about the how of their business, how to get clients, how to make a profit, etc. Instead, you should concentrate on really figuring out the why behind your company. Why do you want to start this business? Why is this important to you? Why are you doing what you’re doing? It’s important to note that these why questions will all have different answers for every individual. In answering these questions, you will find the motivation that will get you through the hard times you will come across.
- Business is really about relationships. The relationships you establish with your staff, clients and customers will all determine how successful your company will or will not be. And, all of these relationships must be maintained, especially those with your clients and customers. A good relationship with your clients and customers results in a good reputation for your company.
Tuchman’s book is ideal for anyone considering starting their own business or adjusting their direction. Young Guns is the place to start along the journey towards changing your life.

i cant wait to read this book. I too think focusing on “why” and not “how” is so important- remembering why you are starting the company and the passion you have for it is the fuel the keeps your company burning.

Thanks for the comment Ashely! That’s exactly the point that Tuchman makes — why and not the how. You’ll really enjoy the book
