Poke the Box
by Seth Godin
A tiny book with one message: start. Initiative is the scarce skill; the cost of poking the box, trying, shipping, failing, is lower than ever and the cost of waiting is higher. It is an hour of encouragement, and for people who already have the idea and the fear, that hour can matter.
Read it if…
you have everything but the start.
Skip it if…
you need strategy, not a push.
Three things you will actually use
- Initiative is the job.
- Failure is cheap; waiting is expensive.
- Start, then start again.
Do this first
Ship one small thing today that you have been polishing.
Our verdict
A one-hour push.
