关于本书 About the book
BrewDog“酿酒狗”,如果你是一位啤酒文化爱好者,那这家啤酒厂的大名绝对可以称得上如雷贯耳。它是James Watt和Martin Dickie两个苏格兰年轻人在2007年突发奇想创造出来的品牌,现在,这家啤酒厂牌用他们古灵精怪的创意、花样百出的酿造精神主宰着英国甚至是欧洲的美式精酿啤酒市场。
这并不是一本传统意义的创业指导书籍,书中分享了很多与众不同的经营理念,比如: 漠视规则,全然跟着灵感走,并且不重视预算和规划。它给了创业者很多建议,其中有很重要的一条:打破规则,不必理会别人的建议,用自己的方式做事。当然,也包括这本书中的建议。
As the book's tantalizing name implies, this is not the traditional business book that tells aspiring entrepreneurs how to build a great business from scratch. Written by James Watt, the Scottish co-founder of craft beer upstart BrewDog, it refreshingly lacks the textbook style wording and cliché business terminology commonly found in "how to" books. Some statements are even disturbingly vulgar and somewhat offensive, but they are a stark reminder that entrepreneurship is about boldness and the courage to blaze a new path for others to follow.
The author's words are brimming with effervescent passion and unorthodox principles: While he advocates completely following your heart, he urges entrepreneurs to ignore budgets and business plans.
