Publisher Description

Big business used to be a good thing. Big meant economies of scale, lots of resources, and more power. Big meant better.

Then small happened.

Seth Godin, the avant-garde marketer and international bestselling author, explores how small companies with targeted ideas and savvy marketing are turning out to be the next "big" thing.

"I always enjoy whatever Seth Godin writes. This book is simply a collection of his ideas on anything related to how "businesses" operate and how they might improve what they do. "Business" can mean anything: a self-employed "micropreneur" to large corporations - doesn't matter. I might occasionally disagree with his politics (he rarely goes that direction in his books, anyway), but I always take away something positive from what I read, that I might apply to my own creative work."

    " The ultimate collection of ideas and "purple cows" coming from Seth Godin's blog. Some really inspiring stories of people and companies who started from nothing and did something truly remarkable and different. Walt Disney, Steve Jobs, Starbucks, it's all in there. "

    " Compilation of his blog. Main theme is: why are you reading this book and not out there BUILDING something? Do it now! Build it! Be remarkable. Provides motivation on why one should not sit in a desk and write reviews about books but rather provides insight on how to be successful through action. Oops! "

    " I found this author to be a bit self-glorifying. While there were some good points, I was unable to get past the first 1/5th of the book because the delivery (listened to the audio book, read by the author) was so... cheesy. It felt like going to a business-themed self-help seminar. In a bad way. "
