You started a business. But why? Entrepreneurs often lose sight of what matters. Are you helping people? Are they happy? Are you happy? Are you profitable? Isn't that enough? Derek Sivers accidentally started a business by helping musicians sell their music. It became the largest online seller of independent music with over 150,000 musicians and $100M in sales. After ten years, he sold the company for $22 million and gave all the money to charity.

Overwhelmed? If you feel anything less than “hell yeah!” about something, say no. We say yes too often. By saying no to almost everything, you leave space and time in your life to throw yourself completely into the few things that matter most.

À travers l'histoire de la création de son entreprise de musique en ligne, sans fonds, ni business plan, Derek Siver livre 40 leçons puissantes sur l'art d'entreprendre. Le récit de la croissance exponentielle de son entreprise, ses réussites, ses échecs (comment il a été attaqué par Steve Jobs...). Son approche humaniste contre-intuitive de l'entreprise, qui met l'accent sur la générosité et le bonheur plutôt que sur les profits, a aidé des milliers d'entrepreneurs à se recentrer.

After your initial impulse, consider other perspectives, then choose the thought that’s more useful to you — the one that makes you take effective actions. People share perspectives, not facts. They tell you how they see things.
