—What readers say
“I've bought a dozen productivity books I never finished. This one I read on three train commutes — and I actually shipped the thing I'd been avoiding for a year.
Dana R. — bought The Forty-Five Minute Method
“"Ship It Ugly" is the only business book that's ever made me close the laptop and actually publish something the same night. Short, sharp, no padding.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What format do the eBooks come in?
Every ebook and the bundle include PDF and EPUB files, so you can read on a phone, e-reader, or laptop. Files are yours to keep — no subscription, no app required.
2. How long does each book actually take to read?
Most readers finish a single book in 5–7 days at roughly 10–15 minutes a sitting. They're written short on purpose, so you can realistically get through one on a normal work week.
3. Is the bundle worth it over buying one book?
If you're likely to want both books eventually, yes — the Starter Set saves $8 and adds the planning templates, which aren't sold separately. If you only want to solve one specific problem, a single book is the better start.
4. What if the book isn't useful to me?
Every purchase comes with a 14-day, no-questions refund. Email us and we'll send your money back — no forms, no explanation needed.
5. Do I need any prior experience with side projects?
No. These books are written for anyone with a project they want to make progress on, whether it's your first one or your fifth — the methods don't assume any specific skill or industry.
