Book description
From the founders of the trailblazing software company 37signals,
here is a different kind of business book - one that explores a
new reality. Today, anyone can be in business. Tools that used to be
out of reach are now easily accessible. Technology that cost thousands
is now just a few pounds or even free. Stuff that was impossible just
a few years ago is now simple.
That means anyone can start a business. And you can do it without
working miserable 80-hour weeks or depleting your life savings. You
can start it on the side while your day job provides all the cash flow
you need. Forget about business plans, meetings, office space - you
don't need them.
With its straightforward language and easy-is-better approach,
Rework is the perfect playbook for anyone who's ever dreamed of
doing it on their own. Hardcore entrepreneurs, small-business owners,
people stuck in day jobs who want to get out, and artists who don't
want to starve anymore will all find valuable inspiration and guidance
in these pages.
It's time to rework work.
37signals is a privately held company founded by Internet
trailblazers, Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson, committed to
building the best web-based software products possible with the least
number of features necessary. Their products -- Basecamp, Backpack,
Highrise, and Campfire -- do less than the competition...intentionally.
Since 1999, 37signals has grown into a multi-million dollar company with
three million fanatically loyal customers. The company has been profiled
in the
Guardian
,
Time, Wired,
and
Business Week
. They are based in Chicago.
