SynopsisYou can follow the beaten path and call yourself an entrepreneur or you can blaze your own trail and really be one. When Derek Sivers started CD Baby, he wasn't planning on building a major business. He was a successful independent musician who just wanted to sell his CDs online. When no one would help him do it, he set out on his own and built an online store from scratch. He started in 1998 by helping his friends sell their CDs. In 2000, he hired his first employee. Eight years later, he sold CD Baby for $22 million. Sivers didn't need a business plan, and neither do you. You don't need to think big; in fact, it's better if you don't. Start with what you have, care about your customers more than yourself, and run your business like you don't need the money.
This is a excellent book about all the ups and downs that Derek Sivers went through as he created a music service for independent artist. It also gives you a insite on thing to do and not to do when you run your own business. I learned a lot about business and life from to this book. I recommend reading it several times to really let it sink in.
