Burn the Playbook

How Creators and Entrepreneurs Escape the 9-5 and Build Businesses That Last

De: Joe Pulizzi

Narrado por: Joe Pulizzi

Burn the Playbook is a wake-up call for anyone who’s tired of renting their future. If you want meaning, freedom, and wealth...on your terms...this book shows you how to build it, own it, and keep it.

From Joe Pulizzi—founder of Content Marketing Institute and author of Content Inc.—this is his most important book yet, written first for his kids and now for you. It’s a blueprint for creators and professionals who are done following someone else’s script and ready to build assets that pay you back for years.

Inside, you’ll learn how to:

• Build once, sell forever: Turn ideas into durable assets that compound...long after your content goes live.
• Own the platform, own the data: Why direct sales and first-party relationships beat algorithms every time.
• Convert time into trust: A simple cadence that transforms consistent content into predictable revenue.
• Design freedom: Replace busywork with leverage, systems, and clear personal rules you’ll actually follow.
• Diversify the money: 10+ creator revenue streams—what to launch first, what to skip, and what to scale.

Who this is for

• Creators, entrepreneurs, and side-hustlers who want direct cash flow, not vanity metrics.
• Marketing pros ready to stop chasing trends and start owning outcomes.
• Anyone who wants a practical path to financial and time freedom.

What makes this different

• Real frameworks you can apply this week...no fluff, no hacks.
• Field-tested systems from two decades of building, selling, and advising creator businesses.
• A direct-first approach that keeps profits, ownership, and customer relationships with you.

“If you’re following someone else’s rules, you’re building someone else’s dream. This book helps you build your own.”

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Excellent playbook

Love audio books where the author reads - Joe has a great listening voice. Many actionable items - took lots of notes! Covers a variety of important ideas - including health, habits, and family - around the core focus. Definitely recommend for anyone looking to make a change or considering entrepreneur options! Looking forward to information available in the accompanying PDF (still to find in the audio player).

Great book that lights the fire of purpose in your heart

I happen to start reading this book after I had already started my life purpose transition in this just to gasoline on the fire. Gives me more of a framework to chase after something as nebulous as life purpose.
