📚 Business Mastermind Book Club: Zero to One by Peter Thiel

What separates companies that change the world from those that simply compete in crowded markets?
This month we're discussing Zero to One by Peter Thiel, one of the most influential—and controversial—books on entrepreneurship ever written. Thiel argues that true innovation comes from creating something entirely new rather than fighting over existing markets.
Whether you're a founder, business owner, investor, executive, or simply interested in building exceptional businesses, this discussion will challenge many conventional ideas about competition, innovation, startups, monopolies, and long-term thinking.
Rather than reviewing the book chapter by chapter, we'll focus on the big questions:
• Is competition actually bad for business?
• Can Thiel's ideas work outside Silicon Valley?
• What "secrets" or overlooked opportunities exist in today's markets?
• How do you build a business that creates lasting value instead of becoming another commodity?
• Which ideas from the book can we apply immediately to our own businesses and careers?
Come prepared to share your experiences, challenge the author's ideas, and learn from other ambitious entrepreneurs and professionals.
