How to turn what people need into what people want

At twenty-three, a nap and a fisherman's advertisement taught him the lesson that would govern the rest of his life: nobody buys bait, everybody buys the dream of coming home with the best catch. Forty years of business, a life of adventures and the thirty-six tools he picked up along the way, told as a novel rather than a manual.

Who it is for: For anyone who ever had an idea and did not know what to do with it.

What you will find inside

Forty years of business told as a novel, in three acts.

  • Learning to fish. The first businesses, the first mistakes and the laws that came out of them: validate before you scale, listen to the market when it speaks quietly, do not build what already exists.
  • Selling dreams from a small country. How you compete from outside the centre: the conditions list, the five engines of buying, the day he sold the thing that was working.
  • Reinventing the category. Leaving someone else's board: the promise that does not frighten, the portfolio, the one-person company.

Every chapter closes with a law: twenty-three in all, each distilled from an episode that actually happened. There are four interludes to breathe between the demanding stretches.
