I’m a small business owner who is always searching for ways to make my company more efficient, effective and prosperous. In my quest for knowledge I read REWORK by Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson. To sum-up the book, I would use the old acronym K.I.S.S. – keep it simple stupid. The best advice I took from the book: Planning is guessing. Make decisions right before you take action. Workaholics are stupid. They waste your time and cause more harm than good. Send people home at 5. Don’t ask for money from other people. It’s their money and therefore, they control your business. Do a few simple things and do it well. Don’t worry about the competition, worry about yourself. Learn to love “no.” Saying “yes” can put you into a position you really don’t want to be in. Make a product/service that is good at-home, not just in-store....
