After making a living as a professional musician, Derek Sivers went looking for ways to sell his own CD online and ended up creating CD Baby, once the largest seller of independent music on the web with over $100M in sales for over 150,000 musician clients.

评分##Actually, it's a new kind of entrepreneur. This book inspired me to keep on running my small business, but it depends on whether I have already saw the big picture or not. Keep the EXTREME customer centricity in mind!
评分##Are they happy ?Are you happy ?Are you profitable? Isn’t that enough? 幸福的秘笈,是得到你想要的一切,但有个重要前提是明白哪些是你该要的,哪些是不该要的。作者是一个入世很深、在尘世游刃有余的佼佼者,最终却能全身而退,保持初心不变,实在是令人叹服。 虽然是一本很短的,写给创业者的书,但是不创业的人读了也能有很大的收获。核心的思想...
