Publisher's summary

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

The founder and CEO of AppSumo.com, Noah Kagan, knows how to launch a seven-figure business in a single weekend—and he’s done it seven times. Million Dollar Weekend will show you how.

Now is the best time in history for entrepreneurship. More than ever, the world needs new businesses and it’s cheaper than ever to create them.

And, let’s be frank: most day jobs suck. People spend too much time doing too much work for too little money—and they know it. They want out.

But, if the barriers to starting a business are getting lower and lower, why is it SO HARD TO DO for SO MANY PEOPLE? Why are there so many wantrepreneurs playing at business on social media and so few entrepreneurs actually running them?

Ask yourself:

• Do you want to work for yourself, or start a side-hustle, but it all feels too risky and unpredictable?
• Have you spent time or money on things like websites and logos, but still have no customers?
• Are you brainstorming endlessly and waiting for the perfect idea to strike?

All those Frequent Excuses are solvable. The plan is simple—so simple it can be completed in a single weekend, but so powerful that Kagan has used it to build seven businesses now worth more than $1 million:

• Find your Creator’s Courage to overcome your fear and have fun!
• Use the "Million Dollar Weekend" Process to get customers EXCITED to give you money.
• Automate your business so it can grow while you sleep.

By Monday, you’ll have a market-tested, scalable business idea and you’ll be a entrepreneur on the path to seven figures. Million Dollar Weekend is the path to creating your dream life and attaining financial freedom. LFG.

Critic reviews

“Essential reading for the modern entrepreneur. If you're looking for a book that instills confidence and fun into starting a business, this is it. I LOVE how he focuses on overcoming fear, not spending any money and making it happen all in a weekend."—Marie Forleo, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Everything is Figureoutable

“I admire Noah. This guy has put in the hard work for many years and I’ve watched him stay relevant & put up wins time and time again. I continue to cheer for him!”—Gary Vaynerchuk, CEO of Vaynermedia and Veefriends, five-time New York Times bestselling author

“Noah Kagan changed my life. I created a business because of him. That business went on to sell for tens of millions of dollars. His writing and ideas are easy to follow and incredibly entertaining. Million Dollar Weekend is the real deal.”—Sam Parr, founder of Hampton and The Hustle, host of My First Million

Worth it.

I read a lot of books. I am skeptical when it comes to which audio book to choose with my subscription. Noah is relatable and funny. His book is what made me understand that you do not have to complicate starting a business. He also gives practical advice to start. I have been in limbo for a long while, not allowing myself to start. I would recommend and will recommend his book to others I know.

Ps- he was also recently on modern wisdom, a great podcast. It has been my favorite since the first episode came out. Give Noah a listen!

After listening to this book your excuses will be gone! No more…I can’t come up with an idea for a business!!!

Noah explains in great detail how relatively easy is to start the momentum once you come up with a biz idea.
Love this book, I have shared it with my kids and friends!

Clear, actionable steps

Very well written. Very helpful for aspiring entrepreneurs. Highly recommend. Thanks Noah! Ok
Ok ok ok

Powerfully simple!

At first glance it is easy to write this book off, like most business books. It is easy to think that it is too basic. That was my first reaction. I’ve started 2 companies and raised over $15M, read every business and strategy and startup guru and digital marketing influencer book there is. Honestly I didn’t expect much and my first listen was while cleaning my house.

But this book is simple on purpose. And its simplicity is its power. Simple doesn’t mean easy either. Simple because it clearly shows the difficult path to testing a business: by asking, getting rejected, and iterating.

So if your first reaction is that “this is dumb”: try doing the exercises, try listening a second time.

Now I’m going to go ask Noah to give me a dollar…

Barely started, & I'm SUPER excited and motivated!

WOW! I can't think of a book that's started with such a massive fireball of inspiration. Oh wait, yes I can. It was MJ Demarco's Millionaire Fastlane which I immediately began reading AGAIN after completing it the first time, a mere week ago. MDW may top even that mind-blowing tome. It's all about ACTION, and exploding out of "analysis paralysis." And I'm only 34 pages in!
After completing Demarco's book, I considered holding off on reading MDW, as I had a schedule and plan for coming up with business ideas and didn't want to get sidetracked with what I assumed would be in Noah's book, some sort of quick funnel-build exercise or the like. I could not have been more wrong. It's EXACTLY what I need to leap into the next phase RIGHT NOW.
I'm excited as hell to complete the included journal and worksheet and get my business OUT INTO THE WORLD!

Easy to follow.

Although not every point given resonated with me I do appreciate the motivational aspect of this book. I really appreciate the Very helpful tips throughout the book that you can customize and apply to your own journey. Highly recommend for anyone thinking about or in the midst of starting a business.

Highly recommend!!!

For anyone who wants to start a successful business in a short time. Noah provides practical tips, inspiring stories, and actionable steps to help you overcome fear, avoid common pitfalls, and achieve your entrepreneurial goals. This book will show you how to turn your passion into a million-dollar business. Highly recommended!

Jumping In

This has been an amazing experience in just a few minutes of listening. Every fear has already been exposed and has set a huge fire in my soul. About to go and do the 10% challenge right now!

Tired of the the same old advice on business?! Listen to this book and throw out traditional the mind set

Unique perspective to set goal and how to work your way back from it. I loved the perspective the book was written from. I found myself in a trap of trying to figure out every detail of a business before starting.. Noah's approach turns that upside down with a few techniques to work your way backards. This was a great eye opener. I hope to learn more from following this author. I look forward to seeing what I can do with this information but also use it to ask better questions of mentors to over come some unique hurdles not covered.

Sincere thank you to Noah

I deeply respect the vulnerability it takes to share the failure log in the intro. Noah - thank you for writing this book. It’s the infusion of fun and hope we all need, combined with the path to get there.
