Really, the only thing they all have in common is that they've put $1,000,000 in the bank (or will shortly).

Rand Fishkin, the founder and former CEO of Moz, reveals how traditional Silicon Valley "wisdom" leads far too many startups astray, with the transparency and humor that his hundreds of thousands of blog readers have come to love. Everyone knows how a startup story is supposed to go: A young, brilliant entrepreneur has a cool idea, drops out of college, defies the doubters, overcomes all odds, makes billions, and becomes the envy of the technology world. This is not that story. It's not that things went badly for Rand Fishkin; they just weren't quite so Zuckerberg-esque.

As a 24-year-old line cook, Ellen Marie Bennett couldn't stand the kitchen staff’s poorly designed, cheaply made aprons. So when her head chef announced he was ordering a new batch, she blurted out, “Chef, I have an apron company” - even though she had no company, no business plan - just a glimmer of a design idea and a business license. Through hustle and a willingness to leap into the unknown, time and time again, she built that first order into a multi-million-dollar company called Hedley & Bennett.

We have been spoon-fed the notion that creativity is the province of genius - of those favored, brilliant few whose moments of insight arrive in unpredictable flashes of divine inspiration. And if we are not geniuses, we might as well pack it in and give up. Either we have that gift, or we don’t. But Allen Gannett shows that simply isn’t true. Recent research has shown that there is a predictable science behind achieving commercial success in any creative endeavor, from writing a popular novel to starting up a successful company to creating an effective marketing campaign.

It's an axiom of business that great companies grow their revenues and profits year after year. Yet quietly, under the radar, a small number of companies have rejected the pressure of endless growth to focus on more satisfying business goals. Goals like being great at what they do, creating a great place to work, providing great customer service, making great contributions to their communities, and finding great ways to lead their lives. In Small Giants, veteran journalist Bo Burlingham takes us deep inside 14 such remarkable companies.

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.

Better Than The 4 Hour Workweek
the reading voice is painful to listen to. and the writing style doesnt translate well. however, for the entrepreneur there are multiple business models you can implement into any business, and the story-based way of describing the business principles makes this a text book for every entrepreneur.
this should be what you listen to INSTEAD of the 4 hour work week. way more practical. way less fluff.

Inspiring
I read an article by the author which was so useful I went out an bought this audio book the same day. Just like the article, this book is full of great info for starting a business, but from a perspective that you don't get in a lot of other books. The emphasis is that in order to be able to scale a single person or husband/wife business up to a million dollar level, you will likely have to be able to outsource some functions. She has some interesting perspectives on how to do that. This book is certainly worth a read. Her perspectives on health care costs were also comforting, just knowing that I am not alone in paying ridiculous monthly bills.
However, I do with the author had not chosen to read it herself. I think a professional narrator would have been a more enjoyable listen.

Good info.
A little boring in my opinion.
Basically most are examples of what businesses are doing to succeed. If you are pretty knowledgeable on the businesses she talks about then it’s boring.
Ok for a one time read but not a book I would read again.
