Anything You Want

Knowledge/Books/Anything You Want is a book that resonates with me incredibly. It talks about how a big vision, big funding, and a team full of experts are not necessary elements of business growth. All you need to do is focus on taking care of your future customers.

Derek Sivers shares his lessons and insights from the journey during which he built a company earning more than 0M.

Lessons

• Never do something just for the money
• Simplify, test, iterate, solve real problems
• You won't know if you want to do something until you do it
• The ability to say no at the right times is a superpower (more in Knowledge/Mental models/Essentialism)
• The ability to withdraw at the right moment is superpower as well (more in the book The Dip)
• Pay attention to the details. They matter most.
• Fulfill your dreams and do what you love. Don't waste your life.
