HTML:Rework shows you a better, faster, easier way to succeed in business.
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.
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.

Hardcore entrepreneurs, small-business owners, people stuck in day jobs they hate, victims of "downsizing," and artists who donโ??t want to starve anymore will all find valuable guidance in these… (more)

They are just showing the way it worked for them but try to put it as though it is the best way to do things. ( )
Everything in this book sounds fresh and sensible, boldly said and inspiring. But sometimes it sounds too guru-esque and oversimplified. Nice illustrations, though. ( )
