Lateral Action Free Report

Check out this free 31-page PDF report called How to Have a Great Life and a Great Business (Especially if You’re Not the “Business” Type).

It not only ties together the themes we’ve touched on so far in the Lateral Action Entrepreneur series, but also delivers practical ideas on starting a business that leads to more than just money.

Here’s what you’ll discover:

Why I quit my cushy law firm job and turned to online publishing.
How I failed miserably.
How I then succeeded miserably.
How I learned my lesson the hard way.
The allure of the global microbrand.
The rise of the “feeder” business.
Why small is beautiful (and powerful).
The 37signals approach to market research.
Real-life examples of “smartly small” entrepreneurs.

Plus, you’ll get an examination of the 6 critical components of smart entrepreneurship:

Create (Don’t Compete)
Lead (Don’t Manage)
Communicate (Don’t be Shy)
Automate (Don’t Duplicate)
Accelerate (Don’t Stand Still)
Succeed (Don’t Stress)

Grab the report here. You’ll also get full optimized transcripts of our recent seminars with Steven Pressfield and Jason Fried.

I deemed myself unemployable seven months ago and am just embarking on an exciting creative direction.
Thank you, Brian, for the great read!

Thanks for sharing all this. Loved reading your story and finding out more about the evolution of Copyblogger:)

It all sounds good apart from the bit about not wanting to sell to Google. Surely that would be an ideal outcome of a business? The Jibbitz story you mentioned would have to be a dream come true for most people. No need to work on the business anymore, take the money and run:)
