The Hard Thing About Hard Things

Building a Business When There Are No Easy Answers

Most business books explain how to do things right. Horowitz writes about what to do when everything goes wrong. Drawing on his years as a startup CEO, he gives honest advice on the hardest parts of leading a company.

Three big ideas

  1. There's no recipeHard problems rarely have a formula. Leaders have to make tough calls without clear answers.
  2. Tell it like it isBe honest with your team about problems. Trust grows when people hear the truth.
  3. The struggle is normalEvery founder hits dark moments. Keep focusing on what you can do next.
