Summary
Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson challenge common advice about starting and running a business. Drawing on their approach at 37signals, they argue for less planning, fewer meetings and staff, and less dependence on outside investors. Their short lessons favor doing useful work, improving productivity and finding customers without a large budget. The book presents the authors’ case for a simpler way to work and build a company.
Why read it Our view
Useful for testing which work your business really needs. The authors’ approach gives you a reason to review plans, meetings, hiring and funding, then decide which of these help you make and sell something useful.
