Publisher Description
AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
The founder and CEO of AppSumo.com, Noah Kagan, knows how to launch a seven-figure business in a single weekend—and he’s done it seven times. Million Dollar Weekend will show you how.
Now is the best time in history for entrepreneurship. More than ever, the world needs new businesses and it’s cheaper than ever to create them.
And, let’s be frank: most day jobs suck. People spend too much time doing too much work for too little money—and they know it. They want out.
But, if the barriers to starting a business are getting lower and lower, why is it SO HARD TO DO for SO MANY PEOPLE? Why are there so many wantrepreneurs playing at business on social media and so few entrepreneurs actually running them?
Ask yourself:
Do you want to work for yourself, or start a side-hustle, but it all feels too risky and unpredictable? Have you spent time or money on things like websites and logos, but still have no customers? Are you brainstorming endlessly and waiting for the perfect idea to strike?
All those Frequent Excuses are solvable. The plan is simple—so simple it can be completed in a single weekend, but so powerful that Kagan has used it to build seven businesses now worth more than $1 million:
Find your Creator’s Courage to overcome your fear and have fun! Use the "Million Dollar Weekend" Process to get customers EXCITED to give you money. Automate your business so it can grow while you sleep.
By Monday, you’ll have a market-tested, scalable business idea and you’ll be a entrepreneur on the path to seven figures. Million Dollar Weekend is the path to creating your dream life and attaining financial freedom. LFG.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Kagan, the CEO of AppSumo, a website that helps users get deals on software, debuts with an uneven program that promises to help readers follow his path to success. Outlining how he founded each of his eight businesses, Kagan encourages readers to "find a problem people are having that you can solve," "craft an irresistible solution... backed by simple market research," and then verify the idea's appeal by attempting to sell the product or service before spending money on it. The most sensible recommendations encourage readers to investigate potential customer needs by skimming frequently requested services on Craigslist's gigs section and to determine the potential market for their idea by searching the popularity of related key words on Google Trends and Facebook Ads. Other suggestions range from quirky—the "coffee challenge" urges readers to get comfortable with rejection by requesting that a coffee shop take 10% off one's order—to borderline reckless ("act first, figure it out later"). At times, Kagan's confidence in the average person's ability to jump-start a million-dollar business while keeping a full-time job feels a bit naive ("You can change your life in one weekend. You don't have to quit your job"). Readers will want to pick and choose from Kagan's hit-or-miss guidance.
