The Myths and Truths of Entrepreneurship

Most of what you've been told about entrepreneurship is wrong.

You don't need a million-dollar idea. You don't have to risk everything. You don't even have to be the smartest person in the room. What separates successful entrepreneurs from the rest isn't some secret formula—it's understanding the fundamental myths and truths of starting and growing a business.

In The Myths and Truths of Entrepreneurship, the first book in the From Monkey to Mogul series, Phil Smy debunks the most persistent misconceptions about what it takes to succeed. Drawing from real-world experience—building businesses, surviving failures, and even facing the investors on Shark Tank—Phil cuts through the hype and delivers a straight-talking, developer-friendly guide to what really matters when launching a startup.

Inside, you'll discover:

✅ The truth about having a "perfect" business idea

✅ Why passion isn't enough—and what you actually need instead

✅ How to manage risk like an entrepreneur (not a gambler)

✅ The myth of the solo genius and why great businesses aren't built alone

✅ What successful entrepreneurs really do differently (it's not what you think)

If you've ever dreamed of starting a business—or you're in the middle of one and wondering what's real and what's nonsense—this book is your bullsh*t detector and blueprint for success. Whether you're a developer thinking about your first startup, a freelancer wanting more stability, or an entrepreneur looking to avoid common pitfalls, this book will reframe your mindset and put you on the right path.

It's time to stop following the myths and start building something real.
