I love this book!
Derek is the entrepreneur's entrepreneur. Just as important, perhaps more so--he is a phenomenal teacher. Whether detailing the fascinating rise of CDBaby, explaining catastrophic (but common) founder mistakes, or teaching me about relational databases in two minutes using analogies, he makes the complex simple. Moreover, he makes it all actionable.
“I love this book! Derek is a phenomenal teacher. Whether detailing the fascinating rise of CD Baby, or explaining catastrophic (but common) founder mistakes, he makes the complex simple. Moreover, he makes it all actionable. If you want a true manifesto, a guidebook with clear signposts, and a fun ride you'll return to again and again, you have it here in this book. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.” -- Tim Ferriss
“Anything You Want is a business book like no other. Derek Sivers built a business a different way, a human way. He did it with no investment and a series of apparently crazy principles. And they work. They worked for him and they might work for you. A brilliant book.” -- Seth Godin

Originally a professional musician, Derek Sivers created CD Baby, once the largest seller of independent music on the web.

Derek writes regularly on creativity, entrepreneurship and music on his blog.
这本书讲述的是曾经zui大的独立音乐网站CDBABY.com的创始人Derek Sivers的个人成长和创业故事。
在2000年以前,独立音乐人很难有出头的日子,Derek是一名歌手,靠唱歌为生。喜欢音乐的他自己会录制个人CD,并尝试把这些CD放在网上卖,后来他的一群和他一样搞独立音乐的朋友希望他可以帮忙卖,于是也都一并放到他的网站上。没想到一年后,一不小心他发现自己已经在创业了。
通过这本书,我们可以了解到互联网和流行音乐产业的巨变,Yahoo,Napster,再到后来Apple的itunes的出现,苹果公司财大气粗的霸权主义。更重要的是,我们可以见证Derek是如何带着一个助理,从zui初的小打小闹,zui后发展到了80个员工的公司,销售总额过亿。
这不是一个纯粹成功学故事,它的结局是心碎的。因为公司内部的矛盾以及自己人生观的变化,Derek zui终结束了他的创业生涯。2010年在自己人生导师以及作家Seth Godin的帮助下,Derek通过这本书和大家分享了这10年以来他个人创业的点点滴滴。
Anything You Want is Derek Sivers' iconic manifesto on lessons learned while becoming an entrepreneur
You don't need a visionary master plan, loads of funding or a brilliant team to start a business.
All you really need is GENEROSITY.
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. He started in 1998 by helping his friends sell their CDs too. 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. Anything You Want will inspire you to start with what you have, care about your customers more than yourself, and run your business like you don't need the money.
'A true manifesto, a guidebook with clear signposts, and a fun ride you'll return to again and again'

Ten years of experience in one hour
What’s your compass?
Just selling my CD
Make a dream come true
A business model with only two numbers
This ain’t no revolution
If it’s not a hit, switch
No “yes.” Either “HELL YEAH!” or “no.”
Just like that, my plan completely changed
The advantage of no funding
Start now. No funding needed.
Ideas are just a multiplier of execution
Formalities play on fear. Bravely refuse.
The strength of many little customers
Proudly exclude people
Why no advertising?
This is just one of many options
You don’t need a plan or a vision
I miss the mob
How do you grade yourself?
Care about your customers more than about yourself
Like you don’t need the money
Don’t punish everyone for one person’s mistake
A real person, a lot like you
You should feel pain when unclear
The most successful email I ever wrote
Little things make all the difference
It’s OK to be casual
Na?ve Quitting
Prepare to double
It’s about being, not having
The day Steve Jobs dissed me in a keynote
My $3.3M mistake
Delegate or die: the self-employed trap.
Make it anything you want
Trust, but verify
Delegate, but don’t abdicate
How I knew I was done with my company
Why I gave my company to charity
You make your perfect world
