ReWork

Rework shows you a better, faster, and easier way to succeed in business. Most business books give you the same old advice: write a business plan, study the competition, seek investors, and so on. If you are looking for a book like that, put this one back on the shelf. Read it and you will know why plans are actually harmful, why you do not need outside investors, and why you are better off ignoring the competition. The truth is, you need less than you think. You do not need to be a workaholic. You do not need to staff up. You do not need to waste time on paperwork or meetings. You do not even need an office. Those are all just excuses. What you really need to do is stop talking and start working. This book shows you the way. You will learn how to be more productive, how to get exposure without breaking the bank, and many more counterintuitive ideas that will inspire and provoke you. With its straightforward language and easy-is-better approach, Rework is the perfect playbook for anyone who has ever dreamed of doing it on their own. Hardcore entrepreneurs, small-business owners, people stuck in day jobs they hate, victims of downsizing, and artists who do not want to starve anymore will all find valuable guidance in these pages.
