PROLOGUE: Manifesto: A short guide to everything you want
We are in the midst of a microbusiness revolution – “a way of earning a good living while crafting a life of independence and purpose.” This is happening as more and more people are bucking traditional career paths and opting to work for themselves. While small businesses are nothing new, it’s easier and cheaper than ever before to test a business idea and bring it to market.
The $100 Startup focuses on two key themes: freedom and value. In the context of this book, freedom refers to freedom of location, time, and working for someone else.
The $100 Startup isn’t a blueprint of how to build a big internet startup, but rather how to live your dream while making a good living doing something you love. This blueprint is based on stories the author compiled from thousands of entrepreneurs all around the world during a multi-year study.
Memorable Quote
“Value is created when a person makes something useful and shares it with the world.”
