The video messes up around eight minutes in, but is a fantastic listen in the background. If you haven’t read or don’t own a book by Seth Godin and are serious about business, I suggest you go about buying Purple Cow and giving it a read.

Update: Seth has taken the video down due to it stopping itself eight minutes in, but has placed up a PDF transcript of the talk online which is well worth a read.

The idea is that if you create a purple cow of a product/business amongst a field of ordinary cows then anyone looking at a cow in that field will see the purple cow above the rest (more often than not).

I found the book a brilliant read and managed to read it in the two days of my train journey to and from London this past weekend. Purple Cow weighs in at a small 145 pages which is small when compared to other books in the business/marketing category. The size of the book immediately raised it to the front of my queue for books to read.

As an inspiring businessman for the future I found Purple Cow to be an essential read and would recommend it to anyone else thinking of starting up a business in the future. That said – this book is just as relevant to the current businessmen of today and everyone should learn to be the Purple Cow in their respective fields.
