An inspiring, irreverent manifesto for those seeking to blaze their own path to entrepreneurship and find fulfillment and happiness through bold action and big ideas.
With zero experience and no capital, Miki Agrawal opened WILD, a farm-to-table pizzeria in New York City and Las Vegas, partnered up in a children's multimedia company called Super Sprowtz, and launched a patented high-tech underwear business called THINX.

Miki, a successful serial social entrepreneur and angel investor, pulls back the curtain to reveal how you can live out loud, honor your hunches, and leave nothing on the table. Start your business on a shoestring budget, nail your brainstorming sessions and product testing, and get free press coverage—all while living your best life.
Whether you’re a recent college graduate trying to find your way in the world, or a professional with a dead-end job and big dreams, Do Cool Sh*t will make you open your eyes, laugh out loud, and shout, “I can do that!”
Do Cool Sh*t features a foreword by Tony Hsieh, the founder and CEO of Zappos.

Quotes

    Why did I have to make this so hard for myself? Every time I go anywhere, my life turns into an action movie where I’m sprinting around, when it could very easily be a nice, slow-paced romantic French film. If only I’d leave one hour earlier.

    In my opinion, raising money is one of those things that nobody truly enjoys doing (unless you’re raising money for someone else or for a cause). It’s hard to find investors, it screws with your ego, screws with confidence, usually takes so much more time than you imagined, and it’s total agony to wait while potential investors make up their minds. It’s one of the most challenging issues for any passion project. We have to remember that investors are people too and they have the right to be indecisive, and all we can do is put our best, most confident foot forward and reassure them that their investment is safe.
    Raising money can also be one of the most exciting experiences. When someone hands you a check because they believe in you and they believe in what you are pouring your heart into, it validates everything!

    1. Anything is possible if you set your mind to it.
    2. Freaking out never helps.
