Каваски хорош в разрезе предметности советов и близости их к реальным боевым услоявиям стартаперов. Главный посыл книги - не размениваться на мелочи и не рефлексировать из-за замечаний псевдоэкспертов, которых у настоящих революционеров всегда много на пути. Особенн порадовала финальная часть книги, в который приведены реальные высказывания довольно авторитетных людей об инновацияхЮ которые по их мнению никогда не станут массовыми - про кино, телевидение, поиск в Интернете и все столь же массово More...

It must be reassuring for Kawasaki that, as parity becomes commonplace in lots of service-oriented businesses, there's a revitalization of good, strong customer service to differentiate. Good customer service and a good product or service empowers consumers to evangelize ones product where they become the market cheerleaders money can't buy - a lot of titanic-sized companies should take note.

I find that business books walk a fine line between self-help and educational, where the latter More...

I really enjoyed this book and I think I need to sit on it a bit and review in a week or so. Two things that kept bugging me:

1) This was not a book to read on the subway. I think I would have really benefited from a pen and paper to jot down some thoughts, or make notes on the exercises, etc. I very rarely think that about books, and I consider this to be a positive exception.

2) I am not sure if there is an updated or revised edition, but it drove me INSANE that for every More...

It took me just one day to read this book. But for months, I've been talking about it. Highly recommended for anyone who considers themselves a "Creative" and is working on a project that they want to be revolutionary.

This was the first Guy Kawasaki book I read and I really liked it. It is a quite good framing of what start-up companies should focus on. I have this one a rough list to re-read as I read it when it first came out.

the book is clearly understandable, easy to read, full of hints an hands on thoughts to start a business. Although it is not new, it is still a must for entrepreneurs.

Guy is the god of consumer marketing. This is an essential, must-read. If you haven't read it already, you've been living in a cave for the last decade.

To paraphrase my idol Bob Dylan, gorrilla marketers "take heed, take heed!"

Aku tidak memiliki buku ini. Aku membacanya, dengan meminjam. Buku ini mengajak kita berpikir revolusioner. Ya, berpikir tidak seperti orang kebanyakan.

Satu poin yang aku ingat dari buku ini adalah, "Eat you own dog food." Jadi maksudnya, kita harus mencoba sendiri apa yang ingin orang lain lakukan. Guy Kawasaki memberi contoh dengan menyuruh membuka situs kita sendiri dengan modem 56 Kbps.

Buku ini sudah lama aku baca. Tiga tahun yang lalu? Jadi tak banyak yan

GK's kick-ass style rules! so much that we endured his yucky manifestos "eat like a bird, poop like an elephant" - this is a call to out-of-the-box thinkers to capitalize on their ideas and avoid the dotcom traps. Even though his famous passion for marketing Apple computers earn him the title "evangelist", he's one of the not-too-many pundits who are critical of the dotcom craze with his term "chinese soda" syndrome which is a naive interpretation of a market.

Would you agree with somebody who says: "The higher you go in most organizations, the thinner the air. The thinner the air, the more difficult it is to find intelligent life" Then you should read it .

Guy brings about an interesting perspective about how to create and market new products .How and why we should defy the conventional notions and follow the gut .

brilliant book, written in a fun and straightforward manner that piles insight upon insight. why haven't more people read this book? and why haven't more people implemented its ideas? one of those a-ha! i knew it things, like you knew it was right but no one had expressed it before.

Guy Kawasaki gives great inside to being a revolutionary in entrepreneurship. I like his style of writing, short quotes and examples from his personal life or from others.

How to be a leader. How to create and sell a product. Eat like a bird and poop like an elephant. Always go analog before going digital.

Good information, but definitely some dated material. Enjoyable as long as you realize you're reading an older book.
