About this listen
A hands-on guide to the metrics that matter most to young tech startups.
In the early stages of a tech startup's life, it's hard to decipher the meaningful metrics from the distractions. How do you know if your product is working? Is it the number of new signups? Average amount of time spent on the site? Revenue, even if you don't have a revenue model yet?
In Scaling Lean, serial entrepreneur and author of the startup cult classic Running Lean Ash Maurya offers a tactical handbook for measuring and scaling a tech startup with maximum efficiency and efficacy. Maurya pairs real-world examples of startups like Airbnb and Dropbox with techniques and language from the manufacturing world to create a new model for measuring and describing an early stage startup's success. Scaling Lean is an indispensable handbook for startup founders graduating from the incubator stage to build their business in the real world.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Story
We're building more products today than ever before, but most of them fail—not because we can't complete what we want to build, but because we waste time, money, and effort building the wrong product. What we need is a systematic process for quickly vetting product ideas and raising our odds of success. In this book, Ash Maurya takes you through an exacting strategy for achieving product/market fit for your fledgling venture. This new edition introduces the continuous innovation framework and follows one entrepreneur's journey from initial vision to a business model that works.

Story
They say you shouldn't ask your mom whether your business is a good idea, because she loves you and will lie to you. This is technically true, but it misses the point. You shouldn't ask anyone if your business is a good idea. It's a bad question, and everyone will lie to you at least a little. As a matter of fact, it's not their responsibility to tell you the truth. It's your responsibility to find it, and it's worth doing right.

You'd be unstoppable. In this book, Mel teaches you how to start high fiving the most important person in your life, the one who is staring back at you in the mirror: YOURSELF.

Very few careers can offer you the freedom, flexibility, and income that day trading does. As a day trader, you can live and work anywhere in the world. You can decide when to work and when not to work. You only answer to yourself. That is the life of the successful day trader. Many people aspire to it, but very few succeed. In the audiobook, I describe the fundamentals of day trading, explain how day trading is different from other styles of trading and investment, and elaborate on important trading strategies that many traders use every day.

They say you shouldn't ask your mom whether your business is a good idea, because she loves you and will lie to you. This is technically true, but it misses the point. You shouldn't ask anyone if your business is a good idea. It's a bad question, and everyone will lie to you at least a little. As a matter of fact, it's not their responsibility to tell you the truth. It's your responsibility to find it, and it's worth doing right.

The necessary evolution of the Lean Start-up
Scaling Lean presents a set of needed practical techniques for scaling not only technology startups, but also traditional no-tech businesses. Furthermore, the introduced principles and techniques can be extrapolated for scaling and optimizating general business processes and operations.
I highly recommend reading this book (after completing the Lean Start-up book) in order to better understand the application of the Lean principles.

The most practical book on lean I have ever read
I almost did not buy it because of the title. i have read dozens of books on lean. I thought this one was about a ridged set of indicators and theory. i was wrong. Instead it was filled with practical information that I am applying in my daily work within a global enterprise. if you are trying to apply the lean startup method in the enterprise, this is the book for you. if you are already a lean practitioner and interested in lean startup, this book is for you.

Good information but a little hard to follow
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
Probably so. There were enough examples in the book to get a feel for how to implement the ideas. However, it was difficult to follow because the flow seemed choppy.
What aspect of Ash Maurya’s performance would you have changed?
I really liked the flow of the example he gave about how he tested product market fit when considering writing his book. I would have liked to see 20 more examples like that for various types of businesses.
What did you take away from Scaling Lean that you can apply to your work?
Stop spending a lot of time developing a product before doing the market interviews. I have to start with learning what people consider a big problem and what solutions they value the most first. Shift from "inventor thinking" to "entrepreneurial thinking"
