The Freaks Shall Inherit the Earth: Entrepreneurship for Weirdos, Misfits, and World Dominators by Chris Brogan

Chris Brogan's book, The Freaks Shall Inherit The Earth: Entrepreneurship for Weirdos, Misfits, and World Dominators, seeks to provide comfort, hope and guidance to those who don't quite fit the mold of the traditional entrepreneur. In this book, Brogan reveals the path to achieving success with unconventional strategies and tactics, through his own experiences and the stories of many of his clients.

Brogan starts by reminding us that our eccentricities can be our biggest strengths, and he emphasizes that being “weird” doesn't necessarily mean you can't achieve success in business. Brogan begins by outlining the core strengths that come with being a “freak” - people who think differently and possess a unique set of skills and talents. He also discusses his experiences as a misfit student in school, where he knew there had to be something other than the traditional route he was being taught.

The heart of The Freaks Shall Inherit The Earth focuses on new and innovative ways to start an enterprise. To achieve success, Brogan implores entrepreneurs to focus on how they can monetize their skills, abilities and passions in creative ways, rather than settling for a job and accepting the standard life that comes with it. He stresses that with vision, work ethic, and belief in your ideas, anything is possible.

The book also provides numerous examples of “freaks” who have made it big with their entrepreneurial pursuits. There are stories from people of all backgrounds, ages and nationalities, who have found success when others had written them off and expected nothing of them. Examples of entrepreneurs like Robert Scoble and Jessica Ohlsen prove the point that anything is possible when you use ingenuity and creativity to turn a hobby or passion into a money-making endeavor.

Another message in the book is that success doesn't have to come at the expense of our individuality and uniqueness. Our successes needn't be defined by society's expectations or by a need to conform. We should embrace our differences and utilize them to our advantage. Brogan provides practical advice and tips to help us achieve the greatest success we can.

The Freaks Shall Inherit the Earth is an inspiring and empowering book for anyone interested in succeeding as an entrepreneur, no matter how “weird” or different they may be. It will help unconventional thinkers break out of traditional norms, learn to monetize their skills, and make a real name for themselves. It helps readers separate themselves from the rest of the pack and offers a blueprint for success, through the stories of those who have achieved it. By highlighting valuable lessons and key elements to reaching success, readers should be able to take these and use them to create a business of their own.
