Just
yesterday
I was talking about the extraordinary level of creativity
we see in people connected with the domain
industry. That post
was about Rob Grant releasing a new major
label contemporary classical music album, Lost
at Sea, that soared to #1 on the iTunes
Classical Albums Chart. Now, don't be
surprised if you see another industry veteran,
serial entrepreneur and author Colin Campbell
at #1 on Amazon's list of Top Business
Books and the New York Times Best Sellers
list this fall. That
is because Colin (who was profiled in a 2016
DNJournal Cover Story) has just
completed a landmark book that he has been
working on for much of the past decade. Titled Start.
Scale. Exit. Repeat. (now available for pre-order
with an October 3, 2023 delivery date), it is an indispensable
guide that will be a must read for
every start up business owner - and every one who wants
to be one. Colin
has successfully completed that cycle several
times in his career and just as importantly,
he has learned invaluable lessons about how
to recover if things don't go as planned (that's
why our cover
story about him was titled "The
Comeback Kid: How .CLUB's Colin Campbell Rebounded
From a $100 Million Setback and Took a Lead Role
in Reshaping the Web.") Everybody loves to
talk about the successes, but the most critical
insight often comes from the setbacks. While
Colin is best known in the domain business as the
Founder of the .CLUB TLD that he sold to GoDaddy
in 2021, his string of startups dates back decades
and includes such familiar names as Internet
Direct, Hostopia, Tucows, GeeksforLess, Paw.com,
US SDS and Escape Club, Today he spends much of
his time on another creation - one he was born
to run - Startup.club,
a rapidly growing business incubator with
offices in Fort Lauderdale. Over
the years, many of you have had a chance to hear
Colin speak about his experiences at major
conferences, but for those who have never had the opportunity,
Start. Scale. Exit. Repeat. will
give you access to a treasure trove of startup
wisdom earned over a lifetime spent in the business
trenches. In the book, Colin expands beyond |

his own
experience by also taking you inside
the minds of more than 30 experts, authors, and
seasoned entrepreneurs so you can learn from
their hard-earned lessons as well. The winning
patterns of these successful businesses can then be
applied to your own startup. You will also learn how
to avoid common
pitfalls, master the art of hacking your way to
growth, secure the right funding, navigate thriough
potential buyers and cash in on an exit. With a
Kindle pre-order price of $8.99, that has to be one
of the best business book bargains you will ever
see.
