In this special book review episode we do a quick summary of the book Built to Sell by John Warrilow and discuss how you can implement the tips from the book in your own business.  Buy the paperback from Amazon.  Check out our Books Section for more books recommended by our guests. About Built to Sell: Run your company. Don’t let it run you. Most business owners started their company because they wanted more freedom—to work on their own schedules, make the kind of money they deserve, and eventually retire on the fruits of their labor. Unfortunately, according to John Warrillow, most owners find that stepping out of the picture is extremely difficult because their business relies too heavily on their personal involvement. Without them, their company—no matter how big or profitable—is essentially worthless. But the good news is that entrepreneurs can take specific steps—no matter what stage a business is in—to create a valuable, sellable company. Warrillow shows exactly what it takes to create a solid business that can thrive long into the future. About John Warrillow John Warrillow is the author of Built To Sell: Turn Your Business Into One You Can Sell. Throughout his career as an entrepreneur, John has started and exited four companies. Most recently he transformed Warrillow & Co. from a boutique consultancy into a recurring revenue model subscription business, which he sold to The Corporate Executive Board (NASDAQ: EXBD) in 2008. He is the author of Drilling for Gold and in 2008 was recognized by BtoB Magazine's "Who's Who" list as one of America's most influential business-to-business marketers.

WE SPEAK TO: Robert Joseph Rob is a Queensland born and bred startup founder. Spending most of his younger years playing any sport he could get his hands on, he found his own path in action sports. Initially dirt bikes, moving on to mountain bikes and then a stint competing at cable wakeboarding, he found his true sporting love of snowboarding late in life at age 17. When not chasing adrenaline, he’d spend most of his time tinkering. After school, he started an undergrad of Medical Engineering, with the hope to combine his loves of sport and engineering into some form of career. Originally eyeing off prosthetics for sport, his attention turned to brain protection after experiencing first-hand the pain points of brain protection in action sports. After a look around, he realised there wasn’t really anything interesting or progressive happening in brain protection, so he teamed up with his co-founder Brodie to change the way we protect brains across all categories, starting in the unlikely market of Snow sports. Rob is the co-founder of Anti-Ordinary. A company that is aiming to revolutionise snow sports, starting with super protective head gear with the twist of it looking exactly like a beanie. But we’ll find out more about that soon.  WE’RE DRINKING: David: Fistful Shiraz Terng: Suntory -196℃ 日向夏 Rob: Stone & Wood Pacific Ale WE CHAT ABOUT: The Anti-Ordinary Journey: How it began, where it’s going and status updates Anti-Ordinary vs the Big Name Competitors On building the product and what it’s like What it’s like working with a China team Tips on cash flow The serendipitous meeting between Rob and their first investor: Matt Crazy shenanigans and tests done during pitches Why founders should just brawl it out Why kickstarters aren’t what you think they are The importance of finding the right partners Guest Book Recommendations:  Shoe Dog by Phil Knight The Search Any book on Keith Harring- Here’s our pick (Keith Harring Journals)!

About Shoe Dog: In this instant and tenacious New York Times bestseller, Nike founder and board chairman Phil Knight “offers a rare and revealing look at the notoriously media-shy man behind the swoosh” (Booklist, starred review), illuminating his company’s early days as an intrepid start-up and its evolution into one of the world’s most iconic, game-changing, and profitable brands. Bill Gates named Shoe Dog one of his five favorite books of 2016 and called it “an amazing tale, a refreshingly honest reminder of what the path to business success really looks like. It’s a messy, perilous, and chaotic journey, riddled with mistakes, endless struggles, and sacrifice. Phil Knight opens up in ways few CEOs are willing to do.” ABOUT BUSINESS OVER DRINKS We hope you enjoy our entrepreneur podcast!
