Creative work doesn't come with a guarantee. But there is a pattern to who succeeds and who doesn't. And engaging in the consistent practice of its pursuit is the best way forward. Based on the breakthrough Akimbo workshop pioneered by legendary author Seth Godin, The Practice will help you get unstuck and find the courage to make and share creative work. Godin insists that writer's block is a myth, that consistency is far more important than authenticity, and that experiencing the imposter syndrome is a sign that you're a well-adjusted human.

In his early 20s, Curtis Jackson, known as 50 Cent, rose to the heights of fame and power in the cutthroat music business. A decade ago, the multi-platinum selling rap artist decided to pivot. His ability to adapt to change was demonstrated when he became the executive producer and star of Power, a high-octane, gripping crime drama centered around a drug kingpin's family. The series quickly became "appointment" television, leading to Jackson inking a four-year, $150 million contract with the Starz network - the most lucrative deal in premium cable history.

Why is Red Bull so popular, though everyone—everyone!—hates the taste? Humans are, in a word, irrational, basing decisions as much on subtle external signals (that little blue can) as on objective qualities (flavor, price, quality). The surrounding world, meanwhile, is irreducibly complex and random. This means future success can’t be projected on any accounting spreadsheet. To strike gold, you must master the dark art and curious science of conjuring irresistible ideas: alchemy.

We live in a hierarchical world where experience has traditionally been the key to promotion. But that period is over! Straight, clear-cut career trajectories no longer exist. Industries disappear, job descriptions change, and people's interests and passions evolve. The key to riding this wave, entrepreneur James Altucher advises, is to constantly be curious about what's next, to be comfortable with uncertainty so you can keep navigating the rough waters ahead, and most importantly, to pursue the things that interest you.

Worse version of a book that’s already been written
- By Chris B on 12-31-21
By: Dorie Clark
Publisher's Summary
At its essence, marketing today is about answering one question: “How can we be heard?” How can we rise above the din of infinite options to create sustainable meaning with an audience or group of customers?
Following the old rules of digital engagement is not enough...not nearly enough. Even being "great" is insufficient in the face of overwhelming competition redefining the limits of excellence every day. From the best-selling author of Known and Marketing Rebellion comes a practical guidebook built for the modern world.
Cumulative Advantage demonstrates how the world is stacked against us in big ways and small and provides new ideas to help us build the unstoppable momentum needed to rise above competitive barricades in business, in our careers, and in our lives. Filled with motivating ideas and fascinating case studies, Cumulative Advantage is an indispensable and practical source of inspiration for every person with a dream that’s ready to take flight.
You will learn:
- How the initial advantage that drives momentum comes from everyday ideas.
- The inside secrets of creating vast awareness for your projects.•How to nurture powerful connections that lead to break-through opportunities.
- Why momentum is driven by the speed, time, and space of a “seam.”
- How the “certainty of business uncertainty” can be used to your advantage.
Mark Schaefer weaves decades of research and revealing expert views into an entertaining guide to building momentous success in the real world. You’ll never view the world the same way again after learning how initial advantages, seams of opportunity, sonic booms, and the lift from mentors can impact your world in powerful and permanent ways. Get ready to make Cumulative Advantage work for you and your ideas right now!

Insightful and Entertaining!
Mark has a great voice for narrating his book! I purchased it to help get ideas for building my brand. When I first started listening, I kept waiting for the “mini-stories” to end and the tips to kick in as other books have. After the first two chapters, realized that embedded in each story were not only tips but served as encouragement that I can have a successful brand! I plan to listen again and most likely again😀

This is one of the rare books that as soon as I read it, I downloaded the audiobook and listened to it (in one day) Cumulative Advantage has humor and great stories that i won’t forget. It also has insights that are so impactful to my life and career now but if I read this book 20 years ago I would have found it just as impactful for that stage in my life.

I enjoyed this book. It was inspiring and I will be rereading it, just like I do his other books. This author is one of my favorite authors and he did not disappoint with this book. It was enlightening how much advantage we come by due to circumstance and how much is our effort. It has a lot of great advice and can enhance your appreciation for the gifts that you inherit.

A truly Inspirational book
There are so many great ideas and thought-provoking parts to this book! The main joy and learning I found is how Mark describes what Cumulative Advantage is and how you can maximise it to help you in your business.
The book is written and narrated in an almost playful way so the information is accesible and easy to understand. This does not, however, take away from the power of its words.
Highly recommended for every business owner and, well, anyone who wants to excel in business. Thank you, Mark Schaefer, for your inspiration.
