Story
Online Business Startup isn't just a how-to guide in online marketing or SEO.... It contains everything an experienced entrepreneur wished he had known when he started in business. We are flooded with so much information in the digital world that it distracts us from the fundamentals of starting up and running a lean business. This book is ultimately an answer to the question "how can we quickly implement proven strategies for my online business and avoid all the noise?"

What does it take to create the career you want? It's no secret that the world of work has changed, and we're shifting toward an ever more entrepreneurial, self-reliant, work-from-wherever-you-are economy. That can be a liberating force. But there's a major obstacle professionals face when they contemplate taking the leap: how to actually make money doing what they love. You may have incredible talent and novel ideas, but figuring out how to get started, building your reputation in a new realm, and bringing in a steady flow of new clients can be a daunting prospect.

One giant blog post?
Reviewed: 06-07-18
this audiobook isn't bad but it doesn't have the feel of an actual business book. perhaps it's due to the author having a background in journalism or maybe it's a cobbled together collection of blog posts. I like the book and there is wisdom contained in here on self promotion that I found fascinating and useful. one key ingredient that isn't discussed in detail is that you need expertise in something.

After reading that this was one of the books that most strongly influenced Steve Jobs, I decided to give it a read (or listen). Glad I did. It's counterintuitive and theoretically sound. Important advice to firms on maintaining themselves in dynamic markets.

Essentialism is more than a time-management strategy or a productivity technique. It is a systematic discipline for discerning what is absolutely essential, then eliminating everything that is not, so we can make the highest possible contribution toward the things that really matter.

For some people, the thought of quitting their day job to pursue the entrepreneurial life is exhilarating. For many others, it's terrifying. After all, a stable job that delivers a regular paycheck is a blessing. And not everyone has the means or the desire to take on the risks and responsibilities of working for themselves. But what if we could quickly and easily create an additional stream of income without giving up the security of a full-time job? Enter the side hustle.

From multiple New York Times best-selling author, neuroscientist, and "new atheist" Sam Harris, Waking Up is for the 30 percent of Americans who follow no religion, but who suspect that Jesus, Buddha, Lao Tzu, Rumi, and the other saints and sages of history could not have all been epileptics, schizophrenics, or frauds.

This book explores the realm of consciousness and how we can enhance it without dogma. I highly recommend this book although it felt incomplete at the end. Perhaps that's why Harris said he was looking to start a conversation with this work because there is so much more research that can be done.

Fumio Sasaki is not an enlightened minimalism expert or organizing guru like Marie Kondo - he's just a regular guy who was stressed out and constantly comparing himself to others, until one day he decided to change his life by saying goodbye to everything he didn't absolutely need. The effects were remarkable: Sasaki gained true freedom, new focus, and a real sense of gratitude for everything around him.

Detailed discussion of minimalism that isn't full of new age... stuff. The author may be Japanese, but his thoughts are relevant to anyone living in a market economy. I highly recommend this book to anyone suffering under the weight of their things.
