Crazy Is a Compliment: The Power of Zigging When Everyone Else

Crazy Is a Compliment: The Power of Zigging When Everyone Else Zags

"If people aren't calling you crazy, you aren't thinking big enough."

These days taking chances isnâ€™t just for college dropouts in hoodies. Whether you work at a Fortune 500 company, a nonprofit, or a mom-and-pop, everybody needs to think and act like an entrepreneur. We all need to be nimble, adaptive, daringâ€”and maybe even a little crazyâ€”or risk being left behind.

But how do you take smart risks without risking it all? Thatâ€™s Linda Rottenbergâ€™s expertise. As the cofounder and CEO of Endeavor, the worldâ€™s leading organization dedicated to supporting fast-growing entrepreneurs, sheâ€™s spent the last two decades helping innovators think bold and execute smart.

Now Rottenberg draws on her unrivaled experience to show you the proven techniques to achieve your dreams: from overcoming fear to facing down critics, from stalking supporters to exploiting chaos. Crazy Is a Compliment combines inspiring stories, original research, and practical advice to create a road map for getting started and going bigger.

Rottenberg brings to life iconic entrepreneurs like Walt Disney and EstÃ©e Lauder and reveals how companies like MTV, GE, and Burberry found their best successes by breaking the corporate mold and embracing the entrepreneur mind-set. She also introduces us to some of the one thousand entrepreneurs sheâ€™s advised, like Leila Velez, who started a hair-care company in her kitchen sink in Rio that now earns $80 million a year. As Linda writes:

Every day I meet people with a dream. Maybe youâ€™re serving coffee and fantasizing about launching a microbrewery; maybe youâ€™ve skipped college and yearn to start your own design firm; maybe youâ€™re sitting in your cubicle and brainstorming a new idea that can improve your company.

You have a dream, but you donâ€™t know how to turn your dream into reality. Or youâ€™ve already launched your dream but youâ€™re unsure how to take it to the next level. This book can show you the way.
