Publisher's Summary

In Disrupt You!, Jay Samit, a digital media expert who has launched, grown, and sold start-ups and Fortune 500 companies alike, describes the unique method he has used to invent new markets and expand established businesses.

In today's ever-changing and often-volatile business landscape, adaptability and creativity are more crucial than ever. It is no longer possible—or even desirable—to learn one set of job skills and work your way up the ladder. Rather, today's entrepreneurs and business leaders must anticipate change to create opportunities for professional success and personal satisfaction.

Samit has been at the helm of businesses in the ecommerce, digital video, social media, mobile communications, and software industries, helping to navigate them through turbulent economic times and guide them through necessary transformation so that they stay ahead of the curve and profitable. In Disrupt You!, he reveals how specific strategies that help companies flourish can be applied at an individual level. By challenging assumptions, pinpointing one's unique value, and identifying weaknesses in the structure of current industries, anyone can achieve success and lasting prosperity.

Incorporating stories from his own experience and anecdotes from other innovators and disruptive businesses—including Richard Branson, Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, YouTube, Circ du Soleil, Odor Eaters, Iams Dog Food, Silly Putty, and many more—Samit shows how personal transformation can reap entrepreneurial and professional rewards. Disrupt You! offers clear and empowering advice for anyone looking to break through; anyone with a big idea but no idea how to apply it; and for anyone worried about being made irrelevant in an era of technological transformation. This engaging, perspective-shifting book demystifies the mechanics of disruption for individuals and businesses alike.

What the critics say

Disrupt You! is revolutionary. To survive in today's economy, everyone needs to think like an entrepreneur. Samit shows how we have the power to succeed in business by disrupting our internal limitations, turning obstacles into opportunities, and killing our best ideas. This is a must read for every entrepreneur and intrapreneur wanting greater satisfaction out of their careers.” —Kelly Perdew, entrepreneur and winner of NBC’s The Apprentice

“Embracing innovation has been a hallmark of Jay Samit's career...and that's the mindset all professionals should aspire to now. To successfully navigate today's professional landscape, you must understand the dynamics of disruption. As Jay teaches in this book, you can swim with the currents of change instead of against them. And when you do that, disruption can propel you toward new opportunities, new creative challenges, and prosperity.” —Reid Hoffman, founder of LinkedIn and author of THE START-UP OF YOU

Disrupt You! solves the innovator's dilemma by teaching entrepreneurs how to think and how to achieve game-changing results. Samit combines powerful business insights with a practical step-by-step roadmap for success.” —Nolan Bushnell, Founder Atari, Chuck E. Cheese, and Brainrush

For the people on career crossroads

An empowering book on how business opportunities are always open to daring ones. However - everyone can dare oneself so that we are never going to be "obsolete". Very good read and content update to cover the last 5 years will make it even more current.
