Overview

Start Something That Matters by Blake Mycoskie offers more than just business advice—it gives you a roadmap for building something impactful.

Mycoskie, founder of TOMS, walks you through his journey, from seeing a need to turning it into a global movement.

But the real magic lies in how simple his approach is. I’ll break it down, step by step. Get the book here.

The Power of a Simple Idea

Mycoskie’s trip to Argentina changed everything. He saw kids without shoes, and this planted the seed for TOMS. His idea?

For every pair of shoes sold, one is donated to a child in need. Simple, right? But powerful. The "One for One" model became a huge success, proving that:

• You don’t need a complex idea to make an impact.

• A clear, easy-to-understand mission resonates with people.

He didn’t start with a massive plan. He started with a basic problem and a clear solution. Why does this work? Because people love knowing their purchase is tied to a good cause.
