A revolutionary blueprint for navigating the new world of work
Today, the career escalator is jammed at every level. Creative disruption is shaking every industry. Wages are virtually stagnant. Global competition for jobs is fierce. The employer-employee pact is over; job security doesn’t exist.
Here, LinkedIn co-founder and chairman Reid Hoffman and author Ben Casnocha reveal a revolutionary new blueprint for how to survive and thrive in this new career landscape. How? By learning to thinking and act like an entrepreneur. In other words, the secret to moving up that jammed escalator, they say, is to run your career like it’s a start-up business: a living, breathing, growing start-up of you.
Why? Start-ups and entrepreneurs are nimble. They are innovative. They invest in themselves. They are self-reliant, yet build strong networks to amplify their strengths. They assess the needs of their target customers. They leverage their competitive advantages in the marketplace.
These are the very same skills needed to get ahead in today’s fractured world of work.
You will learn the best practices of some of the most successful start-ups on the planet, and how these entrepreneurial strategies can be applied to your career. Because whether you work for a giant multinational corporation, a mid-size company in a rural city, or a two-person operation run out of a garage, you need to know how to:
-Launch career plans in conditions of tremendous uncertainty – and be nimble enough to iterate on these plans quickly if current ones aren’t working
-Invest in your assets and establish a competitive advantage
-Capitalize on breakout opportunities – and effectively manage the risk inherent in those opportunities
-Develop genuine relationships and map these relationships into an effective professional network.
-Tap your network for the information and intelligence that will lead to you smarter career decisions
-And much more
A groundbreaking guide to flourishing in the world we live in today, the Start-Up of You empowers each one of us to be the founder of and CEO our own career, and take control of our professional future.

Career or motherhood? Do you have to sacrifice one to be truly successful in the other? And if you’re trying to do both, will you have to compromise your career path or your child’s needs? Is “having it all” even realistic, or just plain fantasy? Leading Stanford University psychologist Dr. Laraine Zappert draws upon her twenty years of clinical and research experience to answer these questions and create a road map of innovative solutions. Through her findings from a landmark study of more than three hundred female graduates of Stanford’s Graduate School of Business, Dr. Zappert addresses such critical concerns as: choosing between career and family handling the job stress and the demands of parenting the best time to have children — and what effect they’ll have on a career keeping relationships healthy feeling confident about the decision to tackle the challenges of home and work.
