Its time to rework work.

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 youre looking for a book like that, put this one back on the shelf.

Read it and youll know why plans are actually harmful, why you dont need outside investors, and why youre better off ignoring the competition.

The truth is, you need less than you think.

You dont need to be a workaholic.

You dont need to staff up.

You dont need to waste time on paperwork or meetings.

You dont 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.

Youll 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 whos 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 dont want to starve anymore will all find valuable guidance in these pages.
