The Power of Positive Destruction How to Turn a Business Idea into a Revolution (Audible Audio Edition) Seth Merrin Carlye Adler Tim Andres Pabon LLC Gildan Media Books Reviews
WHAT A REFRESHING BOOK
STRAIGHT TO THE POINT; EFFECTIVE. GIVES GOOD PEARLS FOR BUSINESS.
Much better then those prolix verbose books that are still sitting unread in my shelves. Because I put them down after a few boring pages that go nowhere..
This book, in almost every page, you will learn something that goes from ancient wisdom and know how to tips so good only to be transmitted till now orally from generation.to generation.
Also, the central idea that that you can revolution every business or activity is very nice..
What he put in words I did in my business; so that I survived and thrived and the competition failed even if I was the one with less capital or prestige.
It really helps to find ideas to improve your business and to create new business.
Here you learn HOW YOU CAN develop your idea..
I think this is important information for a lot of minorities and females that are so rich of ideas, but get overwhelmed and discouraged by big books going no where, and not answering their questions.
I m glad someone thought about us, and explained how to build business in a clear way; and how to find the energy to keep on going in tough times; and how to maintain the positive attitude that the best in your life is still to come.
We need more books like this.
I find it curious that Seth Merrin makes no reference to Joseph Schumpeter and his concept of creative destruction in this book, written with Carlye Adler, when explaining how to break things down to make them better and “improve the lives of all who benefit from those improvements.” In Capitalism, Socialism and Democracy (1942), Schumpeter examines what he characterizes as “a perennial gale of creative destruction.” That is, “the incessant product and process innovation mechanism by which new production units replace outdated ones. This restructuring process permeates major aspects of macroeconomic performance, not only long-run growth but also economic fluctuations, structural adjustment and the functioning of factor markets. Over the long run, the process of creative destruction accounts for over 50 per cent of productivity growth. At business cycle frequency, restructuring typically declines during recessions, and this add a significant cost to downturns. Obstacles to the process of creative destruction can have severe short- and long-run macroeconomic consequences.”
To what does the title of Merrin’s book refer? “[begin italics] You need to employ every transformational strategy in your arsenal. [end italics] This is not something you think about once a year. You think about [doing things differently to achieve better results] constantly. This is the most difficult work – and where the most creativity comes. Three pieces of advice on how to do it Dissect your business...Understand this takes time...Live by the 30-second rule.” That is, “your concept must be presented and understood in 30 seconds or less.”
Years ago, Albert Einstein observed, “If you can’t explain a concept to a six-year old, you really do not understand it.”
Merrin provides an abundance of information, insights, and counsel that can help leaders in almost any organization to achieve strategic objectives such as these
o. How to come up with the next big idea
o How to create an “unfair competitive advantage”
o How to predict the future by inventing it
o How to give people equity ownership
o How to formulate your unique selling proposition
o How to share up your competitive marketplace
o How to conduct successful meetings
o How to lead through a crisis
o How to know “when to hold ‘em, when to fold ‘em, and when to walk away”
o How to upend an industry and get away with it
o How to hire the right “partners”
o How to incorporate giving back into work
Note the repetition of the word “how.” He identifies what Peter Drucker suggests is the most important question to be asked – “What must be done? – and then explains HOW to do it.
These are among Seth Merrin’s concluding thoughts “Positive destruction is just what it means. It is breaking things down to put them back together better. It improves productivity, jobs, companies, industries, economies, and the lives of all the people who benefit from these improvements.”
As the Japanese term “kaizen” correctly suggests, this is a continuous, never-ending process. Not all acorns become oak trees. The same is true of business ideas. That is where the process must begin and often ends. Keep in mind that positive destruction has power only to the extent an idea does.

For similar ideas, "Zero to one by Peter Thiel", "The hard thing about hard things by Ben Horowitz", "Triggers by Marshall Goldsmith", "Eat People are Andy Kessler" are far better choices.
p.s. Below please find a few favourite passages of mine for your reference.
You need to employ transformational strategy in your arsenal. This is not something you think about once a year. You think about it constantly. Three pieces of advice on how to employ transformational strategy constantly-
Dissect your business – What are the three most important thins your customer base would want that they don’t currently have? What would improve their business or lives that they are getting today? What are the things that if you could change and deliver would give you an unfair competitive advantage?
Understand this take time – I spent months and months thinking about ideas. And I threw out dozens. Good is not enough. But with focused attention, you’ll get to great.
Live by the 30 second rule. Your concept has to be presented and the concept understood in 30 seconds or less, and everyone has to immediately see how awesome it would be or that they would be nuts not to have it. Then you’ll know you’ve nailed it. Pg16
Business is just a set of problems to solve. Pg27
How to come up with the next big idea-
1. Start with a macro event that is an absolute
2. Determine what opportunities will arise from the change. Pg28
I turned out to be indispensable because of something unexpected – seeing inefficiencies and working to solve them. I was being rewarded with a permanent job and responsibility because all the time I said, “What the hell?” (or in today’s vernacular, WTF?) It was not only that, though; it was because I took the responsibility to fix the problems I saw. Pg29
To create a company, a product, or a service that within 30 seconds of a pitch, a prospective client will understand your unfair competitive advantage, why it is so much better, cheaper, or more efficient. This is your unique selling proposition (USP). Pg36
The book is filled with great insights and ideas for motivated entrepreneurs looking to succeed in the highly competitive business world. Very informative and well done. If you are looking for a competitive advantage in your field, this is a must read.
An inspiring and helpful 'how to' manual for any aspiring entrepreneur. This is a candid, first hand account of the mistakes and lessons learned from a fintech luminary. A must read.
