Book Description

Most business books give you the same old advice: Write a business plan, study the competition, seek investors, yadda yadda. If you're looking for a book like that, put this one back on the shelf.

Most business books give you the same old advice: Write a business plan, study the competition, seek investors, yadda yadda. If you're looking for a book like that, put this one back on the shelf.

Rework shows you a better, faster, easier way to succeed in business. Read it and you'll know why plans are actually harmful, why you don't need outside investors, and why you're better off ignoring the competition. The truth is, you need less than you think. You don't need to be a workaholic. You don't need to staff up. You don't need to waste time on paperwork or meetings. You don't even need an office. Those are all just excuses. 

What you really need to do is stop talking and start working. This book shows you the way. You'll learn how to be more productive, how to get exposure without breaking the bank, and tons more counterintuitive ideas that will inspire and provoke you.

With its straightforward language and easy-is-better approach, Rework is the perfect playbook for anyone who’s ever dreamed of doing it on their own. Hardcore entrepreneurs, small-business owners, people stuck in day jobs they hate, victims of "downsizing," and artists who don’t want to starve anymore will all find valuable guidance in these pages.

    I'm a fan of 37 Signals and the way they communicate. I started the paper version of Reworked and finished with the Audible one. It's a brilliant book to listen to.

    The rythm is fast, and they are dead on the point. Each chapter nails a solution to a problem. Some of which you might be familiar with, other less, or not at all.

    What I love is the tone. They are talking to you. Through well chosen examples, they illustrate they point in such a way that it applies to many different kinds of industries, not only web design or tech oriented jobs.

    Freelancers will recognise issues and situations as well as employees of large corporations.

    The tips and tricks are precious. Pick those that ring a bell and give them a through, or better, a try. You won't be disappointed.

  • Read it and never look back

    Best book on startup ever. Mythbuster of conventional wisdom.

    If you have an idea and would like to make it real, read this book.

    You just save yourself a MBA degree & thousands of jargon business book.

  • Everything in this book sounds fresh and sensible, boldly said and inspiring. But sometimes it sounds too guru-esque and oversimplified. Nice illustrations, though.
