I just finished reading the book by the founder of CD Baby, who took a hobby and turned it into a $22 million business. Then sold it and gave 90% of the money to charity. If you like reading about very grounded and interesting entrepreneurs I highly recommend this book. Plus it only takes about 1-2 hours to read.
It's called 'Anything You Want' by Derek Sivers.The book starts off with..."From 1998 to 2008, I had this wild experience of starting a little hobby, accidentally growing it into a big business, and then selling it for $22 million. So now people want to hear my thoughts..."
It really is a great read if you are in business, thinking of starting a business, or just interested on how people go from little to big in any endeavour. Plus it only takes an hour or two to read. ENJOY!
Love the picture on the front cover. Derek Sivers says this represents what it is like to be an entrepreneur: "Stuck in the sand pit of your own devising, held immobile by tiny rocks, and enjoying every moment of it."
