Um bom resumo para relembrar conceitos chave, contudo nada de novo para quem vem da área de economia/ gestão / negócios. Acredito que possa ser bastante útil a quem não seja destas áreas ;)

Deu-me algumas ideias durante a leitura, agora é implementar :D

Did this book teach me everything there is to know about doing business as a creative? — No. But it encouraged me to just try and start my Etsy shop, see how it’s going. And I also connected with other creatives. So, while you can’t expect much advice on legal issues from this book, it does give practical advice + it may just be the nudge you need to finally do that thing you always wanted to do.

Serinin ilk kitabı olan ‘Don’t Read This Book’tan sonra ikincisi ‘Don’t Buy This Book’ da çok benzer bir kitap. İlk kitap yaratıcı insanların zaman planlaması ile ilgiliyken bu kitap da daha çok yaratıcı insanların girişimcilik tarafını geliştirmesiyle alakalı. İlki hakkında yazdığım yoruma benzer bir yorum yapayım; Boş vaktinizde okuyabilirsiniz. Hızlı ve akıcı, güzel özlü sözler bulunan eğlenceli bir kitap ama yine çok bir şey katmıyor.

It was a great read for me even though I know more than half of the content as a business coach for artists aspiring to become entrepreneurs. I recommend this book to all creative people to read. This book will guide you on what to be, what to think and what and how to act.

It’s such a nice business book for creatives, it’s easy, it’s cut to the point, it’s well structured and visual. It really helped me. Looking forward to read the other ones
