Zigzag Your Way to Success! Have you ever set your sights on

the top of a mountain and then started your ascent by heading

straight through the trees and up the sheer cliffs? Or driven in

your car to the other side of town--as the crow flies? Of course

not! Because you instinctively know that, just as a river has to

wend its way around obstacles, the best route is never actually a

straight line! In The Zigzag Principle, Rich Christiansen applies a

foundational law of nature to business management,

entrepreneurship, goal-setting, and life in general as he explores

why zigzagging toward our intended outcomes is more effective than

trying to bulldoze our way through whatever stands between us and

our objectives. Christiansen helps you get started, make your way

over the big hill to initial profitability, and minimize risks

along the way. A s the head of well-established corporations and as

the brains behind numerous start-ups, Christiansen has been through

it all, and he's charted all the zigs and zags you'll encounter. In

The Zigzag Principle, he documents everything he has learned,

including how to: Identify your destination Create a defined set of

values to help you as your business finds its way Add resources and

hire the right people, as you turn the cash you have into fuel for

more Replicate your successes to bring your product to the masses

Protect your resources, your family, and your sanity The simplicity

of a straight line can be seductive. But it's not a realistic way

to go about achieving your goals, because you will always come upon

unexpected obstacles in the road. Zigzagging requires you to be

nimble and flexible, to "bootstrap," and to be able to take

advantage of multiple opportunities. What it delivers is

success--in business and in life--far beyond your initial plans and

dreams. Use The Zigzag Principle to assess your resources, use them

to their fullest, and keep yourself and your team motivated--all

while living a life of balance. Praise for The Zigzag Principle

"Rock-solid principles so simple that you will read this book

wondering how you could have missed seeing truths that are so

obvious." --Stephen R. Covey, bestselling author of The 7 Habits of

Highly Effective People "Our economy will be saved and grow again

through the industry of focused entrepreneurs who will hire

thousands of employees to meet the needs of customers. This

thoughtful and inspired book will guide creative and energized

business men and women to accomplish their loftiest dreams and

restore America's prosperity once again." --Alan E. Hall,

of the most insightful, practical, and cost-conscious entrepreneurs

--Roy H. Williams, author of the New York Times and Wall Street

Journal bestselling Wizard of Ads trilogy "I don't believe

entrepreneurship is something you can truly learn from a book.

to be a no b.s. guide to starting, nurturing and succeeding at

entrepreneurship." --Jeffrey Eisenberg, author of the New York

Principle isn't feel-good fluff--it is a logical and practical

formula that you can put your hands on, and it will increase the

rate of success of any business you apply it to." --Moe Abdou,

Principal and founder, 33 Voices "The Zigzag Principle is more

powerful than the 'release and iterate' mentality which is so

prevalent today. I have adjusted my planning to incorporate this

principle in our product launches. Properly executed, The Zigzag

Principl will keep folks like me out of financial hot water."

--David McInnis, founder of PRWeb.com and founder and CEO of

Cranberry LLC, Venture Partners "Most entrepreneurs find it

complicated and difficult to build their businesses. Rich has done

simple and the difficult easy--and it works! It will help you get

where you want to be with more confidence and certainty." --Murray

make changes in your world you had never felt were possible."

--Joseph Grenny, New York Times bestselling coauthor of Influencer:

The Power to Change Anything "The Zigzag Principle delivers the

epiphany of the decade for business owners. These strategies are

non-intuitive, but proven to be solid and dependable, which is why

this is such an important work. Not only will you profit faster

than you thought possible, you'll also enjoy greater balance and

fulfillment in the process." --Leslie Householder, Award-winning
