 Growing
a Business by Paul Hawken
From the Publisher:
Using examples like Patagonia, Ben & Jerry's Homemade Ice Cream,
and University National Bank of Palo Alto, California, Hawken shows
that the successful business is an expression of an individual person.
The most successful business, your idea for a business, will grow
from the something that is deep within you, something that can't be
stolen by anyone because it is so uniquely yours that anyone else
who tried to execute your idea would fail. He dispels the myth of
the risk-taking entrepreneur. The purpose of business, he points out,
is not to take risks but rather to get something done.
