Rework

(Vermilion Life Essentials)

by Jason Fried, David Heinemeier Hansson

Rework argues that small businesses can grow with less planning, less capital and less busywork than conventional management guides suggest. The authors, both founders of a software company, present short, numbered principles on topics such as the limited value of rigid business plans, staying lean, growing slowly, and treating productivity as a matter of focus rather than long hours. The book is aimed at founders, small-business owners, freelancers and creative workers who want a practical, plainly written approach to building something of their own.
