Anything You Want: 40 Lessons for a New Kind of Entrepreneur Audiobook (Free)

You are able to 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 main business. He was a successful indie musician who simply wished to sell his CDs on-line. When nobody would help him do it, he lay out by himself and constructed an online store from scratch.

He started in 1998 by supporting his friends sell off their CDs. In 2000, he employed his first employee. Eight years later on, he sold CD Baby for $22 million.

Sivers didn’t need a business program, and neither carry out you. You don’t need to believe big; actually, it’s better if you don’t. Start with what you have, care about your customers a lot more than yourself, and operate your business like you don’t need the money.
