Using anecdotes and stories from his own life experiences, and from other companies, Hsieh provides concrete ways that companies can achieve unprecedented success. He details many of the unique practices at Zappos, such as their philosophy of allocating marketing money into the customer experience, the importance of Zappos’s Core Values („Deliver WOW through Service“), and the reason why Zappos’s number one priority is company culture and his belief that once you get the culture right, everything else – great customer service, long-term branding – will happen on its own.

- Jeff Walker: Launch: An Internet Millionaire’s Secret Formula To Sell Almost Anything Online, Build A Business You Love, And Live The Life Of Your Dreams
„Is your product or business going to achieve nearly instant momentum and sales, or will it start off slow and fade away from there? The start of every business is critically important… and every truly successful product or business starts with a successful launch. Unfortunately, most entrepreneurs put all their focus into „getting the doors open,“ without giving much thought to creating a great launch. It doesn’t have to be that way. Since 1996 Jeff Walker has been creating hugely successful launches in our increasingly digital world. Bootstrapping his first Internet business from his basement, he quickly developed an underground zero-budget process for launching new products with then-unheard of success. But the success-train was just getting started – once he started teaching his formula to other entrepreneurs the results were simply breathtaking. Tiny home-based businesses started doing launches that sold tens of thousands… hundreds of thousands… and even millions of dollars in just a few days. What you have in your hands is the treasure map into that world – an almost secret digital society of entrepreneurs who have learned to create cash-on-demand paydays with their product launches and business launches. Whether you have an existing business with existing products, or whether you have a service-based business and you want to develop your own products so you can leverage your time and your impact, or whether you’re still in the planning phase and haven’t quite started yet…this is your owners manual on how to start. This formula is how you engineer massive success. Now the question is…are you going to start slow, and fade away from there? Or are you ready to engineer a launch that will change the future of your business and your life?“

- Simon Sinek: Start with Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action
„In 2009, Simon Sinek started a movement to help people become more inspired at work, and in turn inspire their colleagues and customers. Since then, millions have been touched by the power of his ideas, including more than 28 million who’ve watched his TED Talk based on START WITH WHY — the third most popular TED video of all time. Sinek starts with a fundamental question: Why are some people and organizations more innovative, more influential, and more profitable than others? Why do some command greater loyalty from customers and employees alike? Even among the successful, why are so few able to repeat their success over and over? People like Martin Luther King Jr., Steve Jobs, and the Wright Brothers had little in common, but they all started with WHY. They realized that people won’t truly buy into a product, service, movement, or idea until they understand the WHY behind it. START WITH WHY shows that the leaders who’ve had the greatest influence in the world all think, act, and communicate the same way — and it’s the opposite of what everyone else does. Sinek calls this powerful idea The Golden Circle, and it provides a framework upon which organizations can be built, movements can be led, and people can be inspired. And it all starts with WHY.“
