What IS an Entrepreneur? CDBaby Founder Derek Sivers Tells the Story

In 1998 Derek Sivers built CDBaby.com as a way to get his music to his (hopefully) larger audience. A decade later, he sold his $100,000,000 a year business for $22,000,000 - and pledged most of that windfall to help Independent Musicians thrive. His new book, published by Seth Godin's Domino Project, is a guide to looking at business from a totally new direction. And quite possibly the best non-business business book ever written.

New York, NY, August 08, 2011 (Straight Line PR) -- Tens of thousands of consulting books hit the shelves every year. Most of them written by MBA types who have learned to turn thousand dollar buzzwords into hefty consulting fees. While these books create short term buzz they tend to fade very quickly. Mostly because they lack the depth and insights which can only be brought about by real entrepreneurs in the trenches.

What are the fundamentals of business and entrepreneurship? Building for the customer. Within your lifestyle.

Derek Sivers, the founder of CDBaby.com, penned Anything You Want - 40 Lessons For A New Kind Of Entrepreneur ( http://amzn.to/Anything-You-Want ) as a memoir. An accidental success journal of critical insights on founding and growing a very successful e-commerce business.

The book is a quick read. But like a great wine we suggest that you take your time and let every page settle on the palate like a vintage cabernet.

Sivers' book is void of any traditional business jargon. Instead, it focuses on counter-intuitive principles. Ones that only make sense to businesses dedicated to genuinely serving the best interests of their customers.

A short YouTube video by Sivers, which illustrates how to start a business on the cheap, "Start Now. No funding needed", can be seen at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7KLnXjqKL5g

Some key points from the book:

* "Business is not about money. It's about making dreams come true for others and for yourself."

* "Making a company is a great way to improve the world while improving yourself."

* "When you make a company, you make a Utopia. It's where you design your perfect world."

* "You can't please everyone, so proudly exclude people."

* "Little things make all the difference. If you find even the smallest way to make people smile, they'll remember you more for that smile than for all of your other fancy business model stuff."

Derek Sivers sold CDBaby for $22 million in 2008. He founded it in 1998 with a bankroll of $500. While the return on investment is legendary, this book is not about making money. It is about connecting with the customer and building value for them and the world. Do that, and Sivers claims you just might make the money. But you are GUARANTEED to make a difference.

This book ( http://sivers.org/a ) is a classic which, like CDBaby, will build value for generations because of its practical, no nonsense simplicity. Every now and then entrepreneurs need to get back to the basics. According to Sivers those basics are:

1. Start with a dream

2. Take massive action

3. Listen to your customers, and the market.

4. Build value

5. Learn from your experience, and most importantly...

6. Care about your customers (as much or) more than you care about yourself.

In the words of Oliver Twist, "may I have some more please, sir?"

Anything You Want - 40 Lessons For A New Kind Of Entrepreneur is available from Amazon at http://amzn.to/Anything-You-Want

About Derek Sivers:

After making a living as a professional musician, Derek Sivers went looking for ways to sell his own CD online and ended up creating CD Baby, once the largest seller of independent music on the web with over $100M in sales for over 150,000 musician clients. Since 2008, Derek has traveled the world and stayed busy creating and nurturing creative endeavors, like Muckwork, his newest company where teams of efficient assistants help musicians do their "uncreative dirty work." Derek writes regularly on creativity, entrepreneurship, and music on his blog: http://sivers.org/ . He can be contacted via e-mail at derek@sivers.org

Flag Connections Offers New Product to Honor Soldiers

In hopes of helping the families of fallen soldiers memorialize their loved ones, Flag Connections announces the sale of its Presidential Flag and Medal Display Case.

Deer Park, NY, August 05, 2011 - In hopes of helping the families of fallen soldiers memorialize their loved ones, Flag Connections announces the sale of its Presidential Flag and Medal Display Case.

This unique item combines a triangular top section, designed to hold a memorial burial flag, with a lower horizontal display case area. The flag portion of the case can accommodate a 5-foot by 9.5-foot flag. Customers have the option to have the the Great Seal of the United States embossed in the glass.

The lower display area is outfitted with Velcro to safely attach medals without damaging them. At their option, customers can add a personalized engraved nameplate with up to five lines of text to record the names and ranks of veterans.

The Presidential Flag and Medal Display Case from Flag Creations is made from solid wood and produced in the United States. Rather than using plexiglass, the case comes with real, beveled glass and has an inconspicuous magnetic closure. Measuring 22.25 inches wide by 11 inches high by 3.125 inches deep, the case is equipped with mounting hardware, so it is ready to display anywhere in homes or public buildings.

The Presidential Flag and Medal Case helps preserve the memories of veterans for generations to come, making it the ultimate tribute to deceased loved ones.

Said one customer, who wished to remain antonymous, "My father passed away. He was a Veteran of the Korean War. When we were going through all of his belongings, we stumbled upon a box with all of his military medals and awards. In his memory, we decided to buy several...flag and award display cases. Although he is no longer around to see these memories nicely displayed, his stories and his proud service to our country will certainly be passed on to his grandchildren and great grandchildren."

T-Steel Top of the table in its Product Class

Astra Mining, an Australian diversified mining company, has released new technical and economic data for its revolutionary T-Steel product.

North Adelaide, SA, August 05, 2011 - T-Steel types range from structural steel (T1) through to premium grade, high category, specialised steels (T9).

Astra Mining CEO Dr Jaydeep Biswas says the T-Steel range consists of premium category steels within specific steel families that have a demonstrated price-to-performance advantage over other steel products.

“One of the most important factors in the implementation of the T-Steel technology is that factories which cannot afford multi-billion dollar investments in new equipment are able to manufacture higher quality steels using existing factory infrastructure with relatively minor capital investment,” Dr Biswas says.

“These average factories are therefore able to enter markets where they can sell a premium category steel, for example T5, and increase their sales and hence profits.”

Astra Steelworks Ltd, which is part of the Astra Mining group, is planning to start the production of high-quality steels based on highly specialized processes and special alloying technologies invented over a 30-year period in Hungary.

The end product, T-Steel, has numerous advantages over the production of regular steel types including substantial yield savings, a reduction in alloys used, significant savings in energy used and advanced properties when compared to most HSLA steels.

Astra’s managing director, Silvana De Cianni, says the viability of the T-Steel technology is underpinned by the numerous industrial applications of the steels produced.

“These applications include low carbon content stainless steels, non-alloyed construction steels, case hardened alloyed steels and ball bearing steels,” Ms De Cianni says.

“As an example there are a number of top German steel mills which produce rails for various rail systems and sell these at a premium price.

“Comparable quality rails can be produced by the T-Steel process with a lower grade steel through a less prestigious factory, say in Hungary, and sold at a similar premium.”

Astra Mining’s global portfolio includes gold and tin interests in Southeast Asia and southern India, coal mines in Australia and Africa, iron ore in India and Africa, and the production of the high-strength T-Steel technology in Hungary.

Astra has also confirmed its plans to list on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange before the 31st of August or soon thereafter.
