by Michael E. Gerber

Gerber on what he calls the surge of entrepreneurial imagination and how to design a company around it, aimed at people who have not yet started. It is more inspirational than practical; the earlier books carry the method.

Three things you will actually use

  1. Imagine the enterprise, not the shop.
  2. Start small, think enormous.
  3. Design before you do.

Do this first

Spend an hour describing the company at ten times its planned size.

Our verdict

Mostly inspiration.
