Hi.

Welcome to
Making Good, the podcast for small businesses who want to make a big impact.

I’m so glad you’re here!

Perennial Seller by Ryan Holiday [Making Good Book Club #31]

Perennial Seller by Ryan Holiday [Making Good Book Club #31]

The subtitle of this book I think perfectly explains what the book is all about: “Making and marketing work that lasts”. There are the one-hit-wonders of the world. And then there  are the books, art, music, and businesses that stand the test of time. How do the so-called perennial seller keep reaching people and earning money decades or even centuries later? That’s what this book is all about. Creating something that really matters to people and will live on.

I actually hadn’t heard of this book until it was recommended to us recently, and I’m so glad we gave it a read. As always, Charelle and I picked up on different parts of the book, but over all we both took a lot away from it. I would say this book is most geared toward creatives who are passionate about what they do and really want to build something that lasts, vs. folks who are mainly looking to support a certain lifestyle with their business. No matter where you stand, there is so much food for thought in this episode, and I’m really excited for you to give it a listen. I had truly so much fun digging through this book and highlighted so many things!

In this episode, we discussed:

  • The value of momentum 

  • Why putting in the work and perfecting your craft is key 

  • Why what you create should be timelessness vs. trendy 

  • The one sentence, one paragraph, one page exercise 

  • Some thoughts on “selling out”

  • The power of word of mouth 

  • And more
