I've written another piece of extended content, this time for Lateral Action. Rather than sending you over there, I'll just tell you about it here.

It’s a free 31-page PDF report (don't worry, it reads fast) called The Lateral Action Guide to Becoming a Creative Entrepreneur. It's probably the most personal I've gotten about my history, but it's still heavy on actionable, real-life examples.

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:

  • 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.
