Evil Plans - brilliant new book by Hugh MacLeod

View fullsize

EVIL PLANS.  We all harbour them.  Now this brilliant little book by Hugh MacLeod gives you all the ammunition you need to go and pursue the road to "world domination."  Based on the author's own hard won experience - quitting the rat race, setting up a business-card cartoon business, partnering with an off-Saville Row tailor, developing a blog, acquiring a taste for wine and then marketing it - all told with great panache and much wit.  I read the invaluable tome on the way to Miami where I have been running a three day course for clients.   Many of the clients on the programme were involved in their own start-ups, or ventures.  Many worked for family businesses that have deep roots, but the work maybe lack the pizzazz that some younger professionals need.  Certainly this group needed some inspiration to get out of bed for!  Anyway, loved the book and signed up for the free daily cartoon.  Appropriately, Hugh talks about the how invaluable the Act of Gift-Giving can be and the book is exactly that.  You can find out more about Hugh, Evil Plans and his various ventures here at www.gapingvoid.com Enjoy.
