Anything You Want: 40 Lessons for a New Kind of Entrepreneur — Derek Sivers

Either "Hell yeah!" or "No."

Derek Sivers breaks down how he built a business without any of the nonsense. If you're an entrepreneur: read this book.

These are the guiding philosophies he explores:

• Business is not about money. It’s about making dreams come true for others and for yourself.
• Making a company is a great way to improve the world while improving yourself.
• When you make a company, you make a utopia. It’s where you design your perfect world.
• Never do anything just for the money.
• Don’t pursue business just for your own gain. Only answer the calls for help.
• Success comes from persistently improving and inventing, not from persistently promoting what’s not working.
• Your business plan is moot. You don’t know what people really want until you start doing it.
• Starting with no money is an advantage. You don’t need money to start helping people.
• You can’t please everyone, so proudly exclude people.
• Make yourself unnecessary to the running of your business.
• The real point of doing anything is to be happy, so do only what makes you happy.
