Anything You Want

Description

A Success Story That Breaks All MBA Rules
Derek was 27 years old. He was a musician and didn’t know anything about business. He just needed a simple way to sell his album online. So, he made a small website to help himself and a few other musicians. He didn’t have a business plan. He had no investors. He didn’t even want to run a company.

10 years later, this small project – CD Baby – was helping 150,000 musicians, had 85 employees, and was making $100 million a year.

Then Derek sold the company for $22 million.

What did he do differently? He ignored almost every common rule about business. And that turned out to be the reason for his success.

Anything You Want – 48 Business Lessons in 48 Hours

This book is not a boring theory book written by someone who only reads about business. It’s full of real advice from someone who actually built a multi-million dollar company using his gut feeling and a different way of thinking.

Now, he’s sharing everything he learned with you.

A Business Book That Breaks the Rules

Get ready – this book will change how you think about business. Derek Sivers questions popular ideas and shows that:

• You don’t need a lot of money to start – CD Baby started with just $500
• A business plan can be one page – it doesn’t have to be long or complicated
• You can say no to customers who don’t fit your vision
• You don’t have to grow fast if you don’t enjoy it
• Sometimes slowing down is better than speeding up

48 Business Lessons You Can Learn in a Weekend

Sivers’s book is a quick and practical guide for busy people. It has 48 short chapters, each with one lesson. You can read them all in 48 hours.

Each lesson is simple, useful, and easy to try in your own business or project.

A Proven Method You Can Use

Derek Sivers wasn’t just lucky once. After selling CD Baby, he started other successful projects – always using the same ideas. His way of doing business works in many different industries because it’s based on simple truths about people and what really matters.

As Fabian Błaszkiewicz said:

“This is a must-read for every entrepreneur. Sivers talks about real business, but also focuses on personal growth and happiness. This book isn’t about how to make millions – it’s about building a business that gives you joy and meaning.”

Who Is This Book For?

• People who want to start a business but think they don’t have enough
• Business owners who feel like they’ve lost their way
• Creative people who want to make money from their passion
• Employees dreaming of leaving their job but afraid of the risk
• Anyone who believes business should serve life – not the other way around

Sivers’s Business Philosophy in a Nutshell

• Passion before profit – do what you love, the money will follow
• Be generous – give more than your customers expect
• Keep it simple – simple solutions work best
• Learn by doing – don’t wait to be “ready,” just start
• Be yourself – being real is the best marketing

Real-World Wisdom That Works

What makes this book different is that all of Derek’s advice comes from his own experience. These are not just ideas – they are real lessons from his successes and failures.

Each of the 48 lessons includes a story from CD Baby or his other projects, making them easy to understand and use.

A Fresh Look at What Business Is For

Derek believes that true success isn’t just about making money – it’s about being happy and helping others. That’s a fresh idea in a world that often measures success only by money.

He shows that you can build a profitable business without giving up your values, your health, or your relationships. In fact, this kind of approach often leads to the biggest success – in both life and business.

Start Your Business Journey Now

You don’t need a lot of money, a fancy degree, or big connections to succeed in business. All you need is passion, persistence, and some wise advice from someone who has already done it.

Derek Sivers’s Anything You Want is a compass to help you find your own path to success.

Because, as Derek’s story proves:

With the right mindset, you really can achieve anything you want.
