Rework is the best business book I read in 2012 hands down. When I read it, I had only owned my microbusiness for about a year. A few months before I picked the book up, I realized that I loved owning a business all by myself with only occasional help from people on bigger projects.

I disagreed with people when they told me I needed to grow my business. They told me I would get bored with a microbusiness. That never happened. I actually enjoy staying small and growing at pace that’s right for me. I have more flexibility and can change course when it makes sense.

Rework was the first business book I read that agreed with my thoughts about owning a business. If you want to own a big business, that’s not a problem. Hopefully Rework will talk you into starting your business in a different way and growing at a pace that makes sense!
