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.
In "Anything You Want" he shares 40 powerful lessons, in a book you can read in about an hour. Points include:
- When you make a company, you make your utopia - your perfect world.
