About this listen

Please download the supplementary PDF for a list of the figures referenced in the audio.

When Ari Meisel and Nick Sonnenberg launched their high-end virtual assistant (VA) company, Less Doing™, they changed the culture of start-ups forever, effectively debunking the gospel that every new venture requires months of preplanning and a hefty investment of capital. A business born from scribbled notes on a cocktail napkin during dinner was an up-and-running concern less than 24 hours later, ingeniously brought to life with the help of free, readily available digital tools and apps and no outlay of cash whatsoever.

Meisel and Sonnenberg reveal how a scalable start-up is done to perfection in this fascinating and informative chronicle of their first year in business together. An essential listen for any budding entrepreneur, it follows the creative commercial process from inspiration to inception to success, detailing a bold new approach to 21st century business based on a fearless ingenuity and a willingness to rewrite the rules.

Misleading, self serving

The book was promoted as a way to automate and be more efficient but the book ended up just summarizing a diary of how they progressed in building their own business to help others be more efficient. I didn’t learn much about being more efficient and it didn’t explain enough how businesses were made to be more efficient. The book seemed confused and was a promotion tactic for their own business

Just alright

While informative, the tone of the book seemed pretentious.

Read more like a story and this impacted the ability to decern the actual teachings of this book. Not very clear or concise but somehow extremely repitious.
