As someone who's got lots of interests, and who's working on their own digital solopreneur business, I found this book extraordinarily helpful.

Julio Agustin Why Julio loves this book

"Ignore Everybody." Period.

This is the first of many chapters of a truly inspirational business book! The author inspires and forces its readers to think about their choices, the "whys" behind their actions, and their own personal values in order to ensure that the goals they are pursuing are, indeed, their own. With bits of wisdom such as "The better the idea, the more 'out there' it initially will seem" and "The more you need the money, the more people will tell you what to do," MacLeod pushes us in ways not commonly encountered in a traditional business text. Sometimes a "how to" book, but mostly a "why and why not to" text, I highly recommend this reading to anyone seeking some out-of-the-box inspiration.
