by Tim Duggan (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.2 out of 5 stars (30)
Consumers are changing, and the businesses that form around them are principled, purposeful and creative. The next generation of entrepreneurs thinks differently, and Cult Status will show you how you can too.

Enough has been written about huge cult brands founded last century - Nike, Apple, Red Bull. What will the cult companies of tomorrow look like? Who is amassing the kind of passionate community that gives them the best chance of getting through difficult times to build a long-term, sustainable success?

Tim Duggan, co-founder of one of Australia's most innovative and awarded new media companies, has studied hundreds of successful entrepreneurs and change makers over the last decade to uncover what they all have in common.

Learn from the founders of modern brands like Blake Mycoskie (TOMS), Zoë Foster Blake (Go-To), Tim Brown (Allbirds), Daniel Flynn (Thankyou), Lucy Moss (SIX), Oscar McMahon (Young Henrys) and more.

In this book you'll discover:
  • The 7 Steps to building a business with cult status
  • The one thing you should do before starting something new
  • Why every business of the future needs to balance profit and purpose together
  • How to have just as much impact working inside a company as you can from outside
  • The leadership trait every new leader needs
  • How to create a passionate community that will rally around you in tough times
  • 14 practical exercises you can do today to set up for success tomorrow

Armed with this book, anyone from anywhere can help create the next business with serious cult status.

"We're at a point in history where we can create what we want the future to look like. This book is a road map to that future."
- Naomi Simson, Shark Tank & Founder of RedBalloon

"Tim has extraordinary insight into the evolving relationship between companies and the communities that they serve."
- Osher Gunsberg, television & radio host & author

"This book is bloody good. It's really made me question how I work and how I could do things better. I'll be thinking about it for a while yet."
- March Fennell, journalist and presenter

"Cult Status is like the love child of your savviest BFF and a business sage. This will be the manual for a generation of millennial entrepreneurs."
- Lorraine Murphy, author and entrepreneur

"This book challenges you to question what impact you want to have, and provides a guide to help you rally people around you to achieve outcomes you are passionate about."
- Alex Greenwich, Member for Sydney

    Reviewed in Australia on 16 August 2020
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    Cult Status is a thoroughly good read for anyone wanting to understand the critical factors for success in today's fast-paced, disrupted and interconnected world. The book is packed with case studies and examples. Tim Duggan explains success is no longer just about creating great products and services; businesses need a higher purpose, to make an impact — not just a profit, give something back — not only supply a product but advance the life-experience of being human. An excellent read for anyone questioning the purpose of their business or themselves for that matter.

    Tim Duggan’s tightly written battle plan for success is immensely readable, includes highly relatable case studies, and (most importantly) provides a reproducible no-nonsense template for success.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Best business book I've read this year and the best one ever on pure entrepreneurship.
    Reviewed in the United States on 21 March 2021
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    This book is seriously great.

    It's VERY well written. And it's written from experience (as opposed to theory!)

    The 7 Steps on which Tim builds the book are a) in exactly the right order and b) profound in scope and detail.

    You'll be immersed in and learn from the copious examples and you'll love what Tim refers to as the IRL's at the end of each chapter PLUS the Fast Takeaways.

    Highly, highly recommended.

    This is my first experience of Tim and his work.

    I suspect it won't be my last.

    Get the book and DO the book.

    The impact you'll make will amaze you.
