After making a living as a professional musician, Derek Sivers went looking for ways to sell his own CD online and ended up creating CD Baby, once the largest seller of independent music on the web with over $100M in sales for over 150,000 musician clients. Since 2008, Derek has traveled the world and stayed busy creating and nurturing creative endeavors, like Muckwork, his newest company where teams of efficient assistants help musicians do their “uncreative dirty work.” Derek writes regularly on creativity, entrepreneurship, and music on his blog: http://sivers.org/.
You can follow the beaten path and call yourself an entrepreneur or you can blaze your own trail and really be one.
When Derek Sivers started CD Baby, he wasn’t planning on building a major business. He was a successful independent musician who just wanted to sell his CDs online. When no one would help him do it, he set out on his own and built an online store from scratch.
He started in 1998 by helping his friends sell their CDs. In 2000, he hired his first employee. Eight years later, he sold CD Baby for $22 million.
Sivers didn’t need a business plan, and neither do you. You don’t need to think big; in fact, it’s better if you don’t. Start with what you have, care about your customers more than yourself, and run your business like you don’t need the money.

評分##Are they happy ?Are you happy ?Are you profitable? Isn’t that enough? 幸福的秘笈,是得到你想要的一切,但有個重要前提是明白哪些是你該要的,哪些是不該要的。作者是一個入世很深、在塵世遊刃有餘的佼佼者,最終卻能全身而退,保持初心不變,實在是令人嘆服。 雖然是一本很短的,寫給創業者的書,但是不創業的人讀瞭也能有很大的收獲。核心的思想...
