Description

What if you could build a successful business and change the world at the same time? Blake Mycoskie did exactly that. After witnessing children in Argentina growing up without shoes, he founded TOMS and pioneered the now-famous One for One model — for every pair of shoes sold, a pair is given to a child in need. In this #1 New York Times bestseller, he shows you how to do the same.

Start Something That Matters isn’t just Blake’s story — it’s a practical guide for anyone who wants to combine purpose with profit. Drawing from his own entrepreneurial journey and the stories of other purpose-driven leaders, he lays out six simple keys for creating a business or project that makes money while making a difference. From finding your story and keeping things simple, to building trust and giving more than you take, each chapter is packed with real-world examples and actionable advice.

Whether you’re dreaming of launching a social enterprise, want to bring more meaning to your current career, or simply believe that business can be a force for good, this book will inspire you to take that first step. You don’t need a fortune or a fancy degree — you just need the courage to start.
