Description Birth of a Unicorn by Heather Wilde
Birth of a Unicorn: Six Basic Steps to Success is the story of what it takes to found a billion-dollar company — also known as a unicorn. It’s told from the perspective of a founding employee, and shows the years and years of emotional strain, stress and dedication that building a successful company takes — and a framework to follow if you’d like to try it yourself.
In this book, you’ll find the true story behind one of Silicon Valley’s famous companies on its rise to the top. Peek behind the curtain as you see the highs and lows from an insider perspective, on the roller coaster that is the start-up life. What emerges is a lasting friendship, a billion-dollar company, and an understandable framework of success for you to replicate.
My Thoughts Birth of a Unicorn by Heather Wilde
‘Birth of a Unicorn: Six Basic Steps to Success,’ by Heather Wilde is a blend of two beautiful worlds: memoir and self-help guide.
Wilde and her husband, Leon are two of the foundational members of a team that is responsible for Evernote, a note-taking app that has become wildly successful in recent years, and now has a user base of over 200 million people worldwide. But how did they do it? How does anyone take an idea in their head and turn it into a billion-dollar company?
Well, before Evernote, Wilde already had some experience with this, having worked on teams at several other successful start ups, including a security company called Corestreet, that worked with the government.
In order to figure out the steps that lead to Wilde’s success, you must read this book and really pay attention, not just to her story but to her advice. I really enjoyed every tidbit of wisdom in this book, because it seemed like it was coming from a good place and a really smart person who was very experienced with this industry.
At the end of the book, there is an ‘assessment’ or a little quiz that helps you determine what things matter most to you in life and how you can help fulfill those needs to manage your life. This is all part of Wilde’s emphasis in the book of balancing your work life and personal life in harmony, and how to make sure that one doesn’t take too much from the other. definitely something I personally need to work on! Personal life and self-care are essential to becoming a success in any industry that you choose and Wilde’s understanding of that really makes this book something special.
I can see myself thinking about this one for a long time and referring back to it. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good, inspiring read!
