Lateral Action Free Report

As hinted at last week, we’ve got some special extended content for you.

It’s a free 31-page PDF report (don’t worry, it reads fast) called The Lateral Action Guide to Becoming a Creative Entrepreneur.

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 creative entrepreneurs.

Plus, a deeper examination of the 5 critical components of creative entrepreneurship introduced in our last animated video:

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

This report is totally free . . . you don’t even have to provide an email address.

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:)
