About this book
2018-06-01
In my first book, Anything You Want, I told the story of how I started, grew, and sold my company.
As part of selling the company, I signed a non-compete agreement that said I couldn’t do the one thing I’d been doing since I was twenty-seven years old. So I had to make a real change in my life.
I thought a lot about what’s worth doing, fixing faulty thinking, and making things happen. For the next ten years, I wrote for hours a day in my private journal, asking myself questions and answering them. When these thoughts seemed useful to others, I’d turn them into articles, which are now the chapters of this book.
I write succinctly because I’m only introducing ideas. You can apply them to your life better than I can. But if you want to hear more thoughts or talk about them, go to the URL at the end of each chapter: (sive.rs/_____) There you’ll find many interesting comments about that idea, and you can post your own.
Or just say hello at sive.rs/contact I love hearing from people who have found my work. I reply to every email.

Yes, the URLs are nice; a lot of commenters have things to say from their interesting lives—and everyone's life is interesting to themselves.
I always have so much fun reading all those comments that I never get around to clicking on any of the coloured web links that people sometimes include.
It took me a while to realize that many folks don't read every comment, which to me is a waste of an opportunity. I sympathize, since there is so much to read.
Some folks comment without reading other comments first, which I only half-sympathize with, since to me that may be rude.
One of these days I hope to have a "links only" hour where I finally look at all those links. - terri potoczna-fussen (2020-08-27) #
I have just bought this book because I heard Derek talk about it in a podcast and it sounded fascinating. I just went ahead and bought the audio + paper version. I've just started listening to it and find the comment to go on to Url/whatever profoundly irritating - the whole point of getting the audio book was to listen. I didn't realise I would have to stop and go to my computer every few minutes if I wanted to know more. I'm disappointed.

As a non-native English speaker, I only discovered you after a tweet last night. Available from a real entrepreneur your true "I have experienced" stories and your style are very helpful. I can't wait to finish reading the book. Greetings from Turkey
