Bright Side Book Club is a gathering for entrepreneurs who want a little inspiration + connection. We’re reading "Anything You Want: 40 Lessons for a New Kind of Entrepreneur" by Derek Sivers.

Bright Side Book Club is a cozy, come-as-you-are gathering for entrepreneurs, side-hustlers, dreamers, and small business owners who want thoughtful conversation, fresh perspective, and a reminder that they are not doing this alone.

We'll gather at the library for 90 minutes of connection, conversation, and good snacks. Each session features a carefully chosen book exploring topics like mindset, money, leadership, creativity, boundaries, and building a business that actually fits your life.

You do not need to finish the whole book. You just need to bring your curiosity, your questions, and your real-life experiences. Expect friendly faces, simple refreshments, and conversations that leave you lighter, braver, and better equipped for whatever your business is throwing at you next.

This session we’re reading Anything You Want: 40 Lessons for a New Kind of Entrepreneur by Derek Sivers.

This short, thoughtful book shares practical lessons from Sivers’ experience building and selling his company, CD Baby, with insights on creativity, independence, and building a business on your own terms. The best part? It’s a quick read you can finish in about an hour.

Borrow the book from the library or grab a copy from one of our local independent bookstores, then join us for a relaxed conversation about ideas, entrepreneurship, and doing work that matters. 📚✨
