Most business books will tell you to write a business plan, research the competition, find investors, and so on. Put this one back on the shelf if you're looking for something like that.

You'll learn why plans are actually damaging, why you don't need outside investors, and why you're better off ignoring the competition if you read it. The truth is that you require less than you believe. You are not required to be a workaholic. You don't need to hire more people. There is no need for you to waste time on paperwork or meetings. You don't even require an office space. All of them are just excuses.

What you need to do is stop talking and get to work. This book will show you how. You'll discover how to be more productive, how to gain exposure without breaking the wallet, and a slew of other unconventional ideas that will both excite and provoke you.

Rework is the ideal guidebook for anyone who has ever wanted to do it on their own, thanks to its clear language and easy-is-better approach. These pages will be useful to hard-core entrepreneurs, small-business owners, those stuck in day jobs they despise, victims of "downsizing," and artists who don't want to hunger any more.
