The Purple Cow
The
world is changing ever more rapidly, and the rules of
marketing are no different, writes Goddin, the field's
reigning guru. The old ways-run-of-the-mill TV commercials,
ads in the Wall Street Journal and so on-don't work like
they used to, because such messages are so plentiful that
consumers have tuned them out. This means you have to toss
out everything you know and do something "remarkable"

In
this revised and updated edition, small business consultant
and author Michael Gerber dispels the myths about starting
your own business. With a sharp business insight gained from
years of experience, he points out how common assumptions,
expectations, and even technical expertise can get in the
way of running a successful business. Michael teaches you
how to grow your business in a predictable, productive way
that will enable you to truly control your own destiny. Yes,
small businesses fail at an alarmingly high rate. But yours
doesn't have to be one of them.
