Re: What are your favorite business books?
@Tom Adams "Leaders Eat Last" by Simon Sinek is sitting atop my pile of books to get through. I'll have to add "Start With Why." Thanks for the recommendation!
Re: What are your favorite business books?
I like "Start With Why" Simon SinekRyan O'Bleness said:Community, I have a question for you all.

Re: How do I get clients for an online store if the market is not acquainted with e-commerce purchases?
Go through your website, it's good when you launched your website? If it's a new one then have some patience this will take time but invest you time in creating a brand! your blog section has only one post, Indulge in other social media platforms like twitter, Pinterest, tumblr etc. , Invest some money in paid campaigns.
Re: What are your favorite business books?
I second the recommendation of "Big Magic" by @Cara Boyer. It takes a positive approach at creativity instead of the traditional school of thought that promotes the idea of an artist having to suffer to bring out their best work. Of course, "The 4-Hour Workweek" by Tim Ferriss should be included to break you out of the mindset of the traditional 9-5 job.
Re: What are your favorite business books?
Thanks for sharing @gambit! I'd personally recommend "Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear" by Elizabeth Gilbert to all entrepreneurs looking for a boost of creative inspiration. "Steal Like An Artist" by Austin Kleon is another favorite book on creativity.
Re: What are your favorite business books?
The answer really depends on how do you position urself.
business is always changing, but the foundations of great entrepreneurship never do. These classic business books are a must-read for every founder.
1)How to Win Friends and Influence People - Dale Carnegie
2)MoneyBall by Michael Lewis
3)The Power of Now - Eckhart Tolle

Re: Is Driving for Uber or Lyft a good side hustle gig?
I would say you could do it as a side-job, but I don't think the pay is too high. But that's my opinion. Never worked for either.
Re: What's the first thing you do when you wake up?
Hi, @Matt. I see you've already found the link to a plethora of Erik Wahl's content.
You can find video interviews, book excerpts and other content from Clayton Christensen and the authors of "Competing Against Luck" here. They go into great detail about the Jobs to Be Done theory and disruption: https://goo.gl/h5ck5L
I would also take recommend taking a look at a case study from "The Art of Opportunity." The case study looks at how a mattress company was able to innovate the mattress business: https://goo.gl/9eaNhh
Keep an eye out for more "The Art of Opportunity" content, as well actually be releasing exclusive videos with the authors of that book very soon.

Re: Requesting advice on hiring (logo) designers for Outsourcing Agency
I agree with @Chris Nierhaus to simply ask them first. If you wanted to make it more formal than an email, have them complete a "Permission to use Artwork" letter that I'm sure you can Google to find a sample template.
