Derek Sivers on Business Models and Profitability (LessConf '09 Video)
- krmmalik 17y agoI read the book he mentions in the video last year. Its also my favourite business book of all time too. So easy to read and truly an eye-opener. Trying to implement in my own business now.
- vermontdevil 17y agoWhat's the book he mentioned? The video is not subtitled or captioned so I couldn't watch it at all. Thanks

- krmmalik 17y ago"The Art of Profitability" by Adrian Slywotzky
- sivers 17y agoMost of the talk is very directly from the book "The Art of Profitability" by Adrian Slywotzky. Notes here: http://sivers.org/book/ArtOfProfitability http://sivers.org/book/ArtOfProfitability Very highly recommended reading.
- krmmalik 17y agoIs the first example from the book "Influence: The power of persuasion" ?
- sivers 17y agoYep! Another must-read classic: http://sivers.org/book/Influence http://sivers.org/book/Influence
- nickstamas 17y agoYep, it is. Great anecdote from an awesome book.
- icey 17y agoI've read quite a few books from your recommended reading list and to be honest, it would have saved me a ton of time to just read your reviews. It seems like the reviews cover most (or all) of the important content from the books. (Which is great!)
- sivers 17y agoEh... It only seems that way in hindsight. AFTER you've read the book, you can read cliffnotes/highlights like this, and it brings back the memories of what you learned when you read the book. But if you try to just read the notes for a book you haven't read yet, I think you'll find the lessons don't really stick without all the supporting stories. (Imagine skipping all the world's great stories, and just reading a list of "the moral of the story is..." for each book. None would stick.)
- dualogy 17y agoOne of my favourite "micro books" on business. Very awesome.
- davidedicillo 17y agoI was at lessconf last year. Derek did a great job with that preso.
