About the Cover
Ten years of experience in one hour
From 1998 to 2008, I had this wild experience of starting a little hobby,
accidental y growing it into a big business, and then sel ing it for $22 mil ion.
So now people want to hear my thoughts.
People ask me about that experience, so I tel stories about how it went for me.
Many of them are about al the things I did wrong. I made some horrible
mistakes.
People ask my advice on how to approach situations in their lives or businesses,
so I explain how I approach things. But my approach is just one way, and I could
argue against it as wel .
I'm not real y suggesting that anyone should be like me. I'm pretty unusual, so
what works for me might not work for others. But enough people thought that
my stories and the philosophies I developed from this experience were worth
sharing, so here we are.
This is most of what I learned in ten years, compacted into something you can
read in an hour.
I hope you find these ideas useful for your own life or business. I also hope you
disagree with some of them. Then I hope you email me to tel me about your
different point of view, because that's my favorite part of al .
(I'm a student, not a guru.)
