    i like the logo (with the headset) ... sorry if you've had it a while and i'm just noticing.

    It is hard to pick which of the 8 Rework rules resonated with me the most, although "act like a drug dealer and give free samples" sure makes a strong impact. "Make tiny decisions instead of big ones" make a great deal of sense to me. The old adage "paralysis by analysis" seems to be what keeps businesses chained down and unable to quickly and freely innovate.
  • Janet - those are a great couple to pick. There are plenty other in the book that you'll love if you liked those 2. It's also very hard to make big decisions, isn't it?

    I use basecamp! (37signals flagship product) and it's amazing that with a simple but powerfull tool this guys have created a multimillon dollar company!, with an open mind that I celebrate. Well done!
  • We use them as well - they have a great business model.
  • Dan S.
    We started hearing no, don't do that, stop that, don't touch that by the time we were 8-months old. Then if we were lucky enough, we spent the next 18-22 years being educated and molded by a system that was developed and handed down from generations past to deliver devoted disciples ready and willing to fit in and be average. This has led to a standardization in business practices as we know it today. In this new world economy, it is going to take new and innovative thinking to lead your business out of and ahead of the pack. I am looking forward to getting a copy of Rework soon.
  • So true! Breaking out is hard to do though, isn't it? Hopefully we can get you a copy of the book soon :)
  • Sometimes I feel like Jason says stuff just to say it, but I actively use some of the rules in the video and it works. I think this book, along with Vaynerchuk's Crush It, will lead to business growth. They are smart guys and have decided to share as they go along. At such a relatively young age, they give so many other entrepreneurs a chance to be successful. Go to Buffet for the long view and 37 Signals for the now view.

  • Good point - there's room for both the long view and the "now" view. Thanks!
