The Leatherman Book

The Leatherman Book Stories, Lessons, and Advice from the Inventor of America's Original Multi-Tool by Tim Leatherman & Chris Kornelis

The inventor behind the Leatherman multi-tool and founder of the beloved company presents his inspiring personal story as a practical how-to guide for entrepreneurs, artists, and creatives of all kinds who want to pursue their own big ideas. On a budget trip to Europe in 1975, Tim Leatherman started making a list of ideas for what to do with the rest of his life. After months of fixing the plumbing in cheap hotels and toiling on his temperamental Fiat, Tim added to his list of ideas: “add pliers to pocket knife.” Little did he know he would spend the following four decades building an iconic American company that would go on to manufacture more than 90 million multi-tools in its Portland, Oregon, factory. His latest multi-tool is a book. In The Leatherman Book , Tim uses the pieces of his story as tools to help dreamers, entrepreneurs and creatives of all kinds build their own big ideas. Each chapter shares valuable insight into how Tim built his invention and his company—and the lessons he’s learned doing it—including: • You don’t have to be “qualified” to pursue your big idea • If you’re serious about your principles, they become your competitive advantage • Your most important tool is a willingness to figure things out as you go along Weaving storytelling, advice, and never-before-seen photos, this is a visionary and intimate look at a true American icon, meant to inspire and enable dreamers to bring their ideas to life.

Have you ever had a new idea or a goal that excites you... but not enough time to execute it? What about a goal you really want to accomplish...but can't because instead of taking action, you procrastinate? Do you feel like the only way things are going to get done is if you do them? But what if it wasn't that way? What if you had a team of people around you that helped you accomplish your goals (while you helped them accomplish theirs)? When we want something done, we've been trained to ask ourselves: "How can I do this?" Well, there is a better question to ask. One that unlocks a whole new world of ease and accomplishment. Expert coach Dan Sullivan knows the question we should ask instead: "Who can do this for me?" This may seem simple. And it is. But don't let the lack of complexity fool you. By mastering this question, you will quickly learn how billionaires and successful entrepreneurs like Dan build incredible businesses and personal freedom.

The Book of Eastbay

The Book of Eastbay Two Friends and the Catalog That Changed the Sneaker Business Forever by Art Juedes & Rick Gering

Sneakers are a $100 billion business and a global obsession that started in the pages of a catalog called Eastbay . This is a startup story unlike most you've read, but as instructive and inspiring as any of the rest. It's the story of two entrepreneurs with $4,000 worth of track shoes stuffed into an AMC Gremlin who eventually launched a mail-order catalog, Eastbay , that became a bible and a cultural icon to Gen X and Millennial kids. The catalog that was such a powerful and authentic tastemaker that pro athletes swore by it and a burgeoning generation of sneakerheads coveted it. This is also the story of a company ahead of its time that understood the affirming power and cultural significance of sneakers. A company that mastered the mail-order business we take for granted today before most of us understood it. A company that never wavered from its mission as it grew fast, suffered massive setbacks, then grew even faster until the catalog reached tens of millions of kids across the world. And this is the story of Art and Rick, born two days apart, bonded by the company they founded together and by a lifelong friendship that's lasted throughout a tumultuous, heady, difficult, exhilarating, frustrating, and ultimately profoundly rewarding career. Together they built a business that mattered, with as talented and devoted a team as any leaders could hope for. In Eastbay , a generation of kids were encouraged to dream big and dream often, which is just what the founders were doing all along. This is their story.

The Lean Startup - Eric Ries Cover Art

The Lean Startup

The Lean Startup How Today's Entrepreneurs Use Continuous Innovation to Create Radically Successful Businesses by Eric Ries

Most startups fail. But many of those failures are preventable. The Lean Startup is a new approach being adopted across the globe, changing the way companies are built and new products are launched. Eric Ries defines a startup as an organization dedicated to creating something new under conditions of extreme uncertainty. This is just as true for one person in a garage or a group of seasoned professionals in a Fortune 500 boardroom. What they have in common is a mission to penetrate that fog of uncertainty to discover a successful path to a sustainable business. The Lean Startup approach fosters companies that are both more capital efficient and that leverage human creativity more effectively. Inspired by lessons from lean manufacturing, it relies on “validated learning,” rapid scientific experimentation, as well as a number of counter-intuitive practices that shorten product development cycles, measure actual progress without resorting to vanity metrics, and learn what customers really want. It enables a company to shift directions with agility, altering plans inch by inch, minute by minute. Rather than wasting time creating elaborate business plans, The Lean Startup offers entrepreneurs—in companies of all sizes—a way to test their vision continuously, to adapt and adjust before it’s too late. Ries provides a scientific approach to creating and managing successful startups in a age when companies need to innovate more than ever.

Zero to One - Peter Thiel & Blake Masters Cover Art

Zero to One

Zero to One Notes on Startups, or How to Build the Future by Peter Thiel & Blake Masters

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “This book delivers completely new and refreshing ideas on how to create value in the world.”—Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta “Peter Thiel has built multiple breakthrough companies, and Zero to One shows how.”—Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX and Tesla The great secret of our time is that there are still uncharted frontiers to explore and new inventions to create. In Zero to One , legendary entrepreneur and investor Peter Thiel shows how we can find singular ways to create those new things. Thiel begins with the contrarian premise that we live in an age of technological stagnation, even if we’re too distracted by shiny mobile devices to notice. Information technology has improved rapidly, but there is no reason why progress should be limited to computers or Silicon Valley. Progress can be achieved in any industry or area of business. It comes from the most important skill that every leader must master: learning to think for yourself. Doing what someone else already knows how to do takes the world from 1 to n, adding more of something familiar. But when you do something new, you go from 0 to 1. The next Bill Gates will not build an operating system. The next Larry Page or Sergey Brin won’t make a search engine. Tomorrow’s champions will not win by competing ruthlessly in today’s marketplace. They will escape competition altogether, because their businesses will be unique. Zero to One presents at once an optimistic view of the future of progress in America and a new way of thinking about innovation: it starts by learning to ask the questions that lead you to find value in unexpected places.

The Cold Start Problem - Andrew Chen Cover Art

The Cold Start Problem

The Cold Start Problem How to Start and Scale Network Effects by Andrew Chen

A startup executive and investor draws on expertise developed at the premier venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz and as an executive at Uber to address how tech’s most successful products have solved the dreaded "cold start problem"—by leveraging network effects to launch and scale toward billions of users. Although software has become easier to build, launching and scaling new products and services remains difficult. Startups face daunting challenges entering the technology ecosystem, including stiff competition, copycats, and ineffective marketing channels. Teams launching new products must consider the advantages of “the network effect,” where a product or service’s value increases as more users engage with it. Apple, Google, Microsoft, and other tech giants utilize network effects, and most tech products incorporate them, whether they’re messaging apps, workplace collaboration tools, or marketplaces. Proven network effects provide a path for fledgling products to break through, attracting new users through powerful viral growth and word of mouth. Yet most entrepreneurs lack the vocabulary and context to describe them—much less understand the fundamental principles that drive the effect. What exactly are network effects? How do teams create and build them into their products? How do products compete in a market where every player has them? Andrew Chen draws on his experience and on interviews with the CEOs and founding teams of LinkedIn, Twitch, Zoom, Dropbox, Tinder, Uber, Airbnb, and Pinterest to offer unique insights in this essential guide for entrepreneurs. Chen also provides practical product management frameworks and principles that can be applied across products and industries.  The Cold Start Problem  reveals what makes winning networks thrive, why some startups fail to successfully scale, and, most crucially, why products that create and compete using the network effect are one of Silicon Valley's best-kept secrets today. This definitive guide to the tech industry provides a new business strategy framework for building and scaling network effects, including: Case Studies from Tech Giants: Go inside the launch and scaling strategies of iconic companies like Uber, Tinder, Airbnb, and Zoom, with exclusive interviews from their founding teams. The Cold Start Theory: Learn the five-stage journey—from overcoming the Cold Start Problem to reaching Escape Velocity and building a Moat—that every successful networked product navigates. Viral Growth Frameworks: Master the three underlying forces of network effects: the Acquisition Effect for viral growth, the Engagement Effect for user retention, and the Economic Effect for monetization. Actionable Startup Strategy: Discover practical, step-by-step principles for launching, competing, and scaling in markets dominated by network effects, from a top Andreessen Horowitz venture capitalist.

Second , the book will convince you with detailed case studies of successful transformations, that while difficult, it is absolutely possible for you to transform your company to the product operating model. Third, the book will inspire you with truly impressive case studies of product innovation, showing what you too will be capable of doing once you successfully transform.

Written by best-selling author Marty Cagan and his partners at the Silicon Valley Product Group, TRANSFORMED is filled with real-world examples and proven, practical advice from their decades of experience helping companies move to the product operating model.

You tell yourself you lack the smarts, skills, or leadership capabilities to live out your dream, but the truth is, there's a massive gap between what you think you can do and what you're actually capable of doing. Nick Bare wants to help you close that gap. In Twenty-Five Hours A Day, Nick shares the lessons he learned while building his business as a member of the US Army. He grew that business to seven figures by flipping the switch and going all in—then breaking that switch so he could never go back. Now, Nick wants to help you transform your life by embracing the suck, living like you've got an extra hour, and harnessing the power of "one more." By applying these simple lessons, you'll radically improve your chances of success.

It Doesn't Have to Be Crazy at Work - Jason Fried & David Heinemeier Hansson Cover Art

It Doesn't Have to Be Crazy at Work

It Doesn't Have to Be Crazy at Work by Jason Fried & David Heinemeier Hansson

In this timely manifesto, the authors of the New York Times bestseller Rework broadly reject the prevailing notion that long hours, aggressive hustle, and "whatever it takes" are required to run a successful business today. In Rework, Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson introduced a new path to working effectively. Now, they build on their message with a bold, iconoclastic leadership strategy for creating the ideal company culture—what they call "the calm company." Their approach directly attack the chaos, anxiety, and stress that plagues millions of workplaces and hampers billions of workers every day. Long hours, an excessive workload, and a lack of sleep have become a badge of honor for modern professionals. But it should be a mark of stupidity, the authors argue. Sadly, this isn’t just a problem for large organizations—individuals, contractors, and solopreneurs are burning themselves out the same way. The answer to better productivity isn’t more hours—it’s less waste and fewer things that induce distraction and persistent stress. It’s time to stop celebrating Crazy, and start celebrating Calm, Fried and Hansson assert. Fried and Hansson have the proof to back up their argument. "Calm" has been the cornerstone of their company’s culture since Basecamp began twenty years ago. Destined to become a foundational text for the next generation, It Doesn't Have to Be Crazy at Work is a practical and inspiring distillation of their insights and experiences. It isn’t a book telling you what to do. It’s a book showing you what they’ve done—and how any manager or executive no matter the industry or size of the company, can do it too. This is the practical management guide for the next generation, offering a new path to sustainable productivity: A Calm Company Culture: Directly attack the chaos, anxiety, and stress that plagues millions of workplaces with a bold strategy for a better way to work. Sustainable Productivity: Learn why long hours and an excessive workload aren’t a badge of honor but a mark of stupidity, and discover how to get more done with less waste. Actionable Leadership Principles: Reject the prevailing notion of aggressive hustle and embrace an iconoclastic approach that has been the cornerstone of the authors’ company for twenty years. Proven Entrepreneurship Framework: Whether you’re a manager, executive, contractor, or solopreneur, get an inspiring distillation of insights that shows you exactly what they’ve done and how you can do it, too.

Play Bigger How Pirates, Dreamers, and Innovators Create and Dominate Markets by Al Ramadan, Dave Peterson, Christopher Lochhead & Kevin Maney

The founders of a respected Silicon Valley advisory firm study legendary category-creating companies and reveal a groundbreaking discipline called category design. Winning today isn’t about beating the competition at the old game. It’s about inventing a whole new game—defining a new market category, developing it, and dominating it over time. You can’t build a legendary company without building a legendary category. If you think that having the best product is all it takes to win, you’re going to lose. In this farsighted, pioneering business strategy guide, the founders of Silicon Valley advisory firm Play Bigger rely on data analysis and interviews to understand the inner workings of “category kings”—companies such as Amazon, Salesforce, Uber, and IKEA—that give us new ways of living, thinking or doing business, often solving problems we didn’t know we had. In Play Bigger , the authors assemble their findings to introduce the new discipline of category design. By applying this discipline, companies can create new demand where none existed, conditioning customers’ brains so they change their expectations and buying habits. While this discipline defines the tech industry, it applies to every kind of industry and even to personal careers. Crossing the Chasm revolutionized how we think about new products in an existing market. The Innovator’s Dilemma taught us about disrupting an aging market. Now, Play Bigger is transforming business once again, showing us how to create the market itself. Category Design: Learn the groundbreaking discipline for creating a new market, conditioning customers so they abandon the old and embrace your new solution. Become a Category King: Discover why the company that builds a legendary category is the one that wins, capturing 76% of the total market capitalization. The Lightning Strike: Execute a focused, high-intensity event to seize the market’s attention, define the problem, and establish your company as the undisputed leader.

Build a Business You Love

Build a Business You Love Mastering the Five Stages of Business by Dave Ramsey

In  Build a Business You Love , #1  New York Times  bestselling author and Ramsey Solutions Founder and CEO, Dave Ramsey breaks down the system that took his business from a card table in his living room to a $250 million operation. Business leaders face all kinds of challenges and fears as they work to grow their business. Dave Ramsey gets it—because he’s been there. Over the past 30 years, he and his team have taken some right (and plenty of wrong) turns as they worked to build his one-man financial counseling business into Ramsey Solutions, a $250 million company with over 1,000 team members. Now, Dave is sharing what he’s learned from walking through three decades of business growth—so you can grow your business faster with fewer missteps. In  Build a Business You Love , Dave lays out the EntreLeadership System, the road map that takes the guesswork out of growth for business owners like you. Because after more than a decade of helping leaders grow their businesses—and through direct experience with his own company—Dave has found that there are five distinct stages of growth every business has to conquer to reach its potential: Stage 1: Treadmill Operator Stage 2: Pathfinder Stage 3: Trailblazer Stage 4: Peak Performer Stage 5: Legacy Builder Throughout the book, Dave breaks down each of the stages and their unique challenges in detail to help you solve the right problems, at the right time, in the right way. You’ll learn how to navigate everything business ownership throws at you—from hiring the right people, to finding and training leaders, to creating and operating a budget, to nailing down strategic plans that get results, and more. Build a Business You Love  is the essential guide for business owners who want to grow their business the right way and leave a legacy they’re proud of. Grab your copy and join the thousands of business owners who have transformed their business by learning to leverage the EntreLeadership System—the proven plan to help you grow yourself, lead your team, and scale your business. Knowing which stage of business we're in tells us what our next goals and challenges are-which mountaintop to climb next. Then we know what to do, when to do it, and how to do it. That's been amazing. Joe Murphy, Integrity Support Inc. The EntreLeadership System has had a profound impact on my business and my family. I was able to take three months off work earlier this year due to a family emergency, and my business still had its best tax season in years. Being able to step away for 90 days and still see incredible results is a testament to the impact of the EntreLeadership framework. Renee Daggett, AdminBooks The work that l've done within the EntreLeadership System has given me more confidence about what I'm doing, which has helped me gain respect with my business partner-who is also my brother. It's changed our working relationship for the better. Todd Dockerty, Dockerty Health Care Services Before EntreLeadership, we didn't have a clear direction for where we were going. One of the big keys for us was implementing a mission, vision, and core values. Now everyone understands where we're going and why, and how we're getting there. It's completely changed our business and allowed us to be more profitable with 90 people than we were with 135 people. Josh Bradford, Altitude Energy LLC The EntreLeadership System has given me the tools to bring calm to chaos, courage and candor to anxious team members, and clarity to the mission and vision God has for me I am living life again with the confidence that I can leave the office and know that clients will be treated the way I would treat them, and I can focus on my time with my family.

Surrender Letting Go to Level Up by Nick Komodina

Nick Komodina was never a straight-A student in school, but through a strong work ethic instilled by a supportive mother and a lifelong entrepreneurial spirit, he is achieving straight A’s in life. Surrender is for first-time business owners and anyone in a dead-end job as much as it is for professional athletes and CEOs of billion-dollar companies, all of whom Komodina has mentored. In studying the stages his clients progressed through in helping them discover or realign with their mission, he realized that in order to level up, you first have to let go. The heart of those stages is the seven straight A’s of self-mastery—starting with Asleep, Awareness, Acceptance, Awakening, Application, and Ascension, and culminating in Abundance. Achieving results is not finding perfection in any of these areas. Rather, it requires a willingness to surrender to the phase you find yourself in while understanding that the phases are cyclical and will come around again. This understanding will help you become the CEO of your own life as you find the truest version of yourself. In this guide to personal success, you will see Komodina’s growth as he authentically shares his progress. This can be a new perspective for you as you learn to trust the powers of the universe to create what you desire. When you integrate your past shadows with love and light, you realize you have much to gain by letting go.

Unscripted Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Entrepreneurship by MJ DeMarco

What if Life Wasn't About 50 Years of Wage-Slavery, Paying Bills and then Dying?  Tired of sleepwalking through a mediocre life bribed by mindless video-gaming, redemptive weekends, and a scant paycheck from a soul-suffocating job?  Welcome to the SCRIPTED club— where membership is neither perceived or consented. The fact is, ever since you’ve been old enough to sit obediently in a classroom, you have been culturally engineered for servitude, unwittingly enslaved into a Machiavellian system where illusionary rules go unchallenged, sanctified traditions go unquestioned, and lifelong dreams go unfulfilled. As a result, your life is hijacked and marginalized into debt, despair, and dependence. Life's death sentence becomes the daily curse of the trivial and mundane. Fun fades. Dreams die. Don't let life's consolation prize become a car and a weekend. Recapture what is yours and make a revolutionary repossession of life-and-liberty through the pursuit of entrepreneurship. A paradigm shift isn't needed—the damn paradigm needs to be thrown-out altogether. The truth is, if you blindly follow conventional wisdom pushed by conventional people living conventional lives, can you expect to be anything but conventional? Rewrite life’s script: ditch the job, give Wall Street the bird, and escape the insanity of trading your life away for a paycheck and an elderly promise called retirement. UNSCRIPT today and start leading life— instead of life leading you.

Rework by Jason Fried & David Heinemeier Hansson

Rework  shows you a better, faster, easier way to succeed in business.  Most business books give you the same old advice: Write a business plan, study the competition, seek investors, yadda yadda. If you're looking for a book like that, put this one back on the shelf. Read it and you'll know why plans are actually harmful, why you don't need outside investors, and why you're better off ignoring the competition. The truth is, you need less than you think. You don't need to be a workaholic. You don't need to staff up. You don't need to waste time on paperwork or meetings. You don't even need an office. Those are all just excuses.  What you really need to do is stop talking and start working. This book shows you the way. You'll learn how to be more productive, how to get exposure without breaking the bank, and tons more counterintuitive ideas that will inspire and provoke you. With its straightforward language and easy-is-better approach, Rework is the perfect playbook for anyone who’s ever dreamed of doing it on their own. Hardcore entrepreneurs, small-business owners, people stuck in day jobs they hate, victims of "downsizing," and artists who don’t want to starve anymore will all find valuable guidance in these pages.

“A delightful and fascinating book filled with insight and wit, which will make you think twice and cheer up.” — Steven Pinker In a bold and provocative interpretation of economic history, Matt Ridley, the New York Times-bestselling author of Genome and The Red Queen, makes the case for an economics of hope, arguing that the benefits of commerce, technology, innovation, and change—what Ridley calls cultural evolution—will inevitably increase human prosperity. Fans of the works of Jared Diamond (Guns, Germs, and Steel), Niall Ferguson (The Ascent of Money), and Thomas Friedman (The World Is Flat) will find much to ponder and enjoy in The Rational Optimist. For two hundred years the pessimists have dominated public discourse, insisting that things will soon be getting much worse. But in fact, life is getting better—and at an accelerating rate. Food availability, income, and life span are up; disease, child mortality, and violence are down all across the globe. Africa is following Asia out of poverty; the Internet, the mobile phone, and container shipping are enriching people's lives as never before. An astute, refreshing, and revelatory work of nonfiction that covers the entire sweep of human history—from the Stone Age to the Internet—The Rational Optimist will change your way of thinking about the world for the better. The Collective Brain: Discover how the uniquely human habit of exchange and specialisation created a collective intelligence, sparking innovation and driving prosperity for the last 100,000 years. An Economics of Hope: Read the counterintuitive and evidence-based argument that challenges centuries of pessimism, proving that food availability, income, and lifespan are up while disease, child mortality, and violence are down. The Evolution of Prosperity: Journey through the entire sweep of human history, from the Stone Age to the Internet, to understand how commerce, technology, and the division of labour have consistently raised our standard of living. Escaping Malthus’s Trap: Uncover why humanity’s progress is an accelerating and sustainable process, and why—despite crises and catastrophes—our future is brighter than we think.

The Millionaire Fastlane

The Millionaire Fastlane Crack the Code to Wealth and Live Rich for a Lifetime by MJ DeMarco

** 10th Anniversary Edition!  ** Over 1,000,000 copies sold, translated in over 25 languages worldwide. Has the "settle-for-less " financial plan become your plan for wealth? It sounds a little something like this: "Graduate from college, get a good job, save 10% of your paycheck, cancel the movie channels, quit drinking expensive Starbucks, save and penny-pinch for decades, trust your life-savings to an indexed-fund peddled from Wall Street, and then one day, when you are oh, say, 65 years old, you can retire rich.” Welcome to the greatest scam of the modern world, one that will take you 50 years of your youth to realize that you were conned. You don’t want to DIE rich in life’s tired twilight, you want to LIVE rich in vibrant youth.  Unfortunately, since you were old enough to work a job, you've been lied to by an army of financial profiteers and mainstream media hucksters. The ruse? The reckless idea that TIME can create wealth through patient investing with the most untrusted people on the planet… Wall Street. That’s right, invest in an indexed-fund for 50 years while blindly trusting the uncontrollable and unpredictable markets: the housing market , the stock market , and the job market. This soul-sapping, dream-stealing dogma is known as the “The Slowlane" - an impotent financial gamble that dubiously promises wealth in a wheelchair. Accept the Slowlane as your financial roadmap and your future will carelessly drift on a sailboat of HOPE: HOPE you can get a job and keep it, HOPE the stock market doesn't crash, HOPE the economy stays solvent, HOPE, HOPE, and HOPE. Is HOPE really a solid centerpiece for family's financial plan? Drive the Slowlane and you will find your life deteriorate into a miserable exhibition about what you cannot do, versus what you can. If you refuse the lifetime subscription to mediocrity, penny-pinching, and “waiting to retire so I can finally enjoy life” there's an alternative; an expressway to extraordinary wealth capable of burning a trail to financial independence faster than any road out there. And shockingly, this road has nothing to do with the Wall Street, jobs, 401(k)s, index-funds, or a mindless regimen of frugality.  Demand more. Change lanes and create your explosive wealth accelerator. Hit the Fastlane, crack wealth’s code, and live rich young, and for a lifetime.

Bad Blood - John Carreyrou Cover Art

Bad Blood

Bad Blood Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup by John Carreyrou

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • The gripping story of Elizabeth Holmes and T heranos — one of the biggest corporate frauds in history—a tale of ambition and hubris set amid the bold promises of Silicon Valley, rigorously reported by the prize-winning journalist. With a new Afterword covering her trial and sentencing, bringing the story to a close. “Chilling ... Reads like a thriller ... Carreyrou tells [the Theranos story] virtually to perfection.” — The New York Times Book Review In 2014, Theranos founder and CEO Elizabeth Holmes was widely seen as the next Steve Jobs: a brilliant Stanford dropout whose startup “unicorn” promised to revolutionize the medical industry with its breakthrough device, which performed the whole range of laboratory tests from a single drop of blood. Backed by investors such as Larry Ellison and Tim Draper, Theranos sold shares in a fundraising round that valued the company at more than $9 billion, putting Holmes’s worth at an estimated $4.5 billion. There was just one problem: The technology didn’t work. Erroneous results put patients in danger, leading to misdiagnoses and unnecessary treatments. All the while, Holmes and her partner, Sunny Balwani, worked to silence anyone who voiced misgivings—from journalists to their own employees.
