Now, for the first time, Seth Godin offers the core of his marketing wisdom in one compact, accessible, and timeless package. This Is Marketing shows you how to do work you're proud of, whether you're a tech start-up founder, a small-business owner, or part of a large corporation. Great marketers don't use consumers to solve their company's problem; they use marketing to solve other people's problems. Their tactics rely on empathy, connection, and emotional labor instead of attention-stealing ads. When done right, marketing seeks to make change in the world.

For some people, the thought of quitting their day job to pursue the entrepreneurial life is exhilarating. For many others, it's terrifying. After all, a stable job that delivers a regular paycheck is a blessing. And not everyone has the means or the desire to take on the risks and responsibilities of working for themselves. But what if we could quickly and easily create an additional stream of income without giving up the security of a full-time job? Enter the side hustle.

What does it take to create the career you want? It's no secret that the world of work has changed, and we're shifting toward an ever more entrepreneurial, self-reliant, work-from-wherever-you-are economy. That can be a liberating force. But there's a major obstacle professionals face when they contemplate taking the leap: how to actually make money doing what they love. You may have incredible talent and novel ideas, but figuring out how to get started, building your reputation in a new realm, and bringing in a steady flow of new clients can be a daunting prospect.

By forcing us to apply a more selective criteria for what is Essential, the disciplined pursuit of less empowers us to reclaim control of our own choices about where to spend our precious time and energy - instead of giving others the implicit permission to choose for us. Essentialism is not one more thing - it’s a whole new way of doing everything. It’s about doing less, but better, in every area of our lives. Essentialism is a movement whose time has come.

New York Times best-selling author Michael Hyatt wants listeners to know that it doesn't have to be this way.

Since you were old enough to hold a job, you've been hoodwinked to believe that wealth can be created by blindly trusting in the uncontrollable and unpredictable markets: the housing market, the stock market, and the job market. I call this soul-sucking, dream-stealing dogma "The Slowlane" - an impotent financial gamble that dubiously promises wealth in a wheelchair. For those who don't want a lifetime subscription to "settle-for-less", there is an alternative.

don't buy in audio form
The author should have hired someone to read. She drones on, I found her voice leaving me tired and depressed. She puts zero energy into the performance and it has a sarcastic, "see I'm right" undertone to it.

Lacks Concrete Direction
I consume a vast number of business books, how to's and others related to business. I am a small business owner and entrepreneur looking to grow. Employees are not on the agenda, been there, done that. Elaine Pofeldt's book held such promise as to offer insight and direction. No such luck. Nearly every case study has employees or contract workers. Many have had to borrow money to grow and out source their tasks. Over all this is a mildly positive book that might inspire you to move forward on your dream project but don't look to it for the stepping stones towards growth or ideas. Her reading voice was fine.

Very basic guidance, and very poor narration.
This entire effort would be better as a blog post. The author drives at the same handful of rudimentary points, citing 3 to 4 sources over and over, while stumbling over the narration. Save yourself the time, do a Google search for "entrepreneur tips."

Great book!!!!!! Boring Narration!!!!!
This book has a lot of great information. The information I got however, was from the written form. The Author should have had someone narrate for her. Her monotone voice made it hard to concentrate on the topic. If she got better after the first hour, I apologize for this review. One hour is all I could tolerate.

Helpful, relevant, and timely
Would you listen to The Million-Dollar, One-Person Business again? Why?
Yes, I actually have already done so three times! Pofeldt does a great job drawing out the relevancy of different businesses and letting the owners speak for themselves.
What about Elaine Pofeldt’s performance did you like?
Elaine reads well and has a good voice.
Any additional comments?
One of the more useful books if you are looking to (or have) start a business.

I’m an entrepreneur in my third business (producing videos/commercials/marketing) and found this to be great refresher on things I do and know, and some things I’ve forgotten to do!

Great encouragement for the Solopreneur
This book has a very good variety of case studies of how you can scale a business without scaling staff. This was a huge relief for me, compared to the more common story of growing large businesses from a start-up phase. There are smart ways, that smart people are building a business on their own terms. Really enjoyed this.

Thoroughly disappointing book
I read a few poor reviews of this book but decided to buy it anyway on Ryan Holiday’s recommendation. Unfortunately this were a few hours of my life I will never get back.
The book is full of insanely vague advice (think ‘promote your business on social media’) and it is a case study in an author blinded by survivorship bias; the author is pretty much recommending starting a dropshipping business and sell your product on a "giant online marketplace".
Oh, and a few if the businesses that she talks about in the book started as 'one man bands' but now employ people, and I fail to understand how they are still considered one-person businesses.

Worthy of the Title
Got me going again... Full of practical advice and loads of examples.
Would've benefited from more examples outside of America though.

Very motivating
A very motivating book that shows how all kind of people from different industries and markets have achieved their success.
It motivates to move on, keep going or to finally start.
