    <![CDATA[What does it take to turn ideas into action? What are the elements of a perfect pitch? How   do you win the war for talent? How do you establish a brand without bucks? These are   some of the issues everyone faces when starting or revitalizing any undertaking, and Guy   Kawasaki, former marketing maven of Apple Computer, provides the answers. <p>  <em>The Art of the Start </em>will give you the essential steps to launch great products,   services, and companies—whether you are dreaming of starting the next Microsoft or a   not-for-profit that’s going to change the world. It also shows managers how to unleash   entrepreneurial thinking at established companies, helping them foster the pluck and   creativity that their businesses need to stay ahead of the pack. Kawasaki provides readers   with GIST—Great Ideas for Starting Things—including his field-tested insider’s   techniques for bootstrapping, branding, networking, recruiting, pitching, rainmaking, and,   most important in this fickle consumer climate, building buzz. <p>  At Apple, Kawasaki helped turn ordinary customers into fanatics. As founder and CEO   of Garage Technology Ventures, he has tested his iconoclastic ideas on real- world start-   ups. And as an irrepressible columnist for <em>Forbes</em>, he has honed his best thinking   about <em>The Art of the Start</em>.</p></p>]]>
