After attending many seminars that were produced by Chris Krimitsos I quickly learned that lots of information can be acquired in a short amount of time. when I bought his book Start Ugly I once again realized how true that is. It took me 45 minutes or so to read this book and I came away with so much inspiration and usable information. right from the very well-written forward by Gabriel Aluisy I found myself totally fascinated reading much of what I already knew about Chris and then discovering even more about his philosophy when it comes to Innovation and change.
When I first found out that much of the book was going to be a fictitious story I was a bit surprised. But when I read the parable I knew exactly what Chris was trying to get across and I will tell you it is a really good story that you will learn from once you read it.
Because of the title of the book and the amazing cover design it now has a permanent place on my desk to keep being motivated to always plan well but get started.

Surprising Simple yet Incredibly Profound

The parable invites you to step back in time and away from your own perceived problem. It the delivers its message very quickly, without a lot of fluff. This is repeated enough to allow it to sink in. The principles are clear and easy to follow. One of the main points is while technologies change rapidly, principles do not. If you have ever abandoned a project because of self doubt or found yourself resisting making adaptations to change you need to read this book. By the time you finish reading this book and it is a fast read you will be ready tackle things you may have been putting off for years.Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2019

Start Ugly has a simple and effective message that we need to act. Sometimes we spend too much time planning, but not enacting a business or idea. Perfection comes from enacting an idea to achieve a goal. " A goal without a plan is just a wish" (Antoine de Saint-Exupery), which is reminder to plan. As Leonardo de Vinci said at the end of his life about work he never completed "Tell me if anything was done." Planning without execution is what impedes many who have a goal to achieve. We learn as we implement and revise.
Chris Krimitsos captures the essence of taking the next step and do it! If we stop moving forward we are falling behind. Change is difficult, but it is innovation and adaptation that leads to continued success.
Start Ugly is a simple message and lessons learned about putting ideas into action.
Full disclosure, Chris is a friend whom I have followed and admired. I am glad he is sharing what he has learned from his multiple ventures and success.

Moreover, I started this book today, 23rd August 2021, and I am not disappointed, I like how the font is bigger in writing making it easier for my eyes and my reading capability, as I am a slower reader, so this font is perfect for me, and I am delighted to finish this book, as it is so good and innovative so far, as well as inspirational.
Lastly, I was quite surprised, as this book was coming from the States, however I thank the seller for their timely service to me, and for the delivery service, this gesture is much appreciated, and I cannot wait to go through this book further.
