If you are a budding entrepreneur who has an immense amount of self-belief and who wants to achieve great things in life, then these two non-fiction books mentioned below are for you. Read on to find out!
The Worst Business Model in the World by Danny Schuman
Old school people believe that the model mentioned in the book The Worst Business Model is outdated but the real entrepreneurs understand the true worth behind this model. The author Danny Schuman says that the only downside of this model is that it is a bit chaotic. Successful people believe that the only thing worth doing in life is to live it fully and on one’s own terms. That is why you must have seen many entrepreneurs despising the nine to five work culture. They believe in working smart and not working hard. And they also know that creative freedom cannot be achieved in a nine to five work culture. Therefore, from the very beginning they decide to pursue something of their own.
By now you must have understood that this model is for all those people who need creative freedom but still want to earn a decent amount to pursue their dreams. The business model mentioned in The Worst Business Model In the World is defined as Us Doing Our Thing and it was designed by an entrepreneur Danny Schuman. The two most important factors included in this model are- understanding what you are good at and understanding what you are passionate about. If two of these factors get fulfilled then you are all set to start a journey on the UDOT model. This model is as simple as doing what you love and understanding the rest of it as it comes.
The UDOT model’s prime concern isn’t about optimising profit or predicting and controlling risk rather it is about making your own definition of success, living in the present and most importantly doing what makes you happy. The UDOT model is all about building yourself up along with helping others in need. The model is all about sharing your resources and ending all the greed. The next thing that forms the core of the UDOT model is about learning something new each day and focusing on expanding mental horizons.
It has been wisely said that a person receives what he gives. The author truly believes in this saying and advises the young entrepreneurs to genuinely help as many people as possible. If you are inspired by this model and want to learn more, then you can read audiobook summaries available on this topic on various book summaries sites.
