If you are at a crossroads in your life, this is the perfect book to pick up! I've been unhappy in my career for a long time and I know I'm not doing what I'm meant to be doing. The passion is gone. I'm not kidding you when I tell you that within the first half hour of reading this book, I was inspired with an idea. And I got excited! I hadn't felt like this in a LOOOOOOONG time. Jason's words were just what I needed to read. The way he writes, it feels like he's sitting on the couch next to you having a great conversation. Everything he tells you about how to become an entrepreneur and thinking outside the box made perfect sense. Nothing will be over your head. I took 8 pages of notes and couldn't put the book down. I read it in the first 48 hours I had it! There is so much good information in here and personal stories to tie it all together. You'll walk away feeling inspired and like you learned something valuable.
I have a much clearer idea of what I want to do and how to go about it. I can't wait to get going!
Oh, the sponsors on each page of the book...I didn't mind them because they aren't over-bearing. I'll probably end up checking out a bunch of them. Pretty clever idea, if I don't say so myself.

As a creative entrepreneur, Jason is always trying to do things differently and inspire others (like you!) to do the same. Jason focuses the majority of his time writing articles that share lessons he’s learned with his out-of-the-box business ideas. His most recent crazy idea involved selling his future at BuyMyFuture.com.

At 64, I still don't know where my niche is. The last portion of the book made me realize that I also have an emotional void that I fill with, "things", that I purchase just to purchase them. I had attempted to build a T-shirt business back in the 80's but that led to a "vehicle lettering" venture that lasted for about 10 years. Now I'm again interested in a T-shirt business but, there are so many business out there that I don't know if I can make anything of it.
Anyway, Creativity For Sale, inspired me to at least try so, that's what I'm going to do, wish me luck! (rickritadesigns@gmail.com)

Part story, part instruction, Jason SurfrApp does an excellent job of providing both inspiration and insight for business newbies and veterans alike. Moreover, the book, much of which chronicles his journey from employee to t-shirt wearing employer, is an enjoyable engaging read.
As someone who built and sold a business, I can confirm Jason's story as being accurate, and his instructions as valuable. In spite of my prior experience, I too found some great "nuggets" which I have already incorporated into my own business.
As a fellow author, my hats off to him for employing such creativity in launching his title.
Well worth the time and money invested!

This book gives you a look inside a guy's head who figured out how to really think outside-of-the-box with ideas that have never been done before. And he invites you to try them. Reading this book inspired me to attempt something new.
And one more reason to buy this book -- author, Jason SurfrApp, believes in sharing his good fortune with those who are less fortunate. He showed his support of Cheerful Givers.org by wearing our t-shirts, donating a portion of proceeds from selling his last name and including us in his book. Besides being a very creative guy, he is also a Cheerful Giver!

Jason Surfapp is one of the most creative people I know. Back when he was wearing T shirts for a living, I bought several days from him. He produced some great videos for me that drove tons of traffic to my squeeze page.
In "Creativity for Sale" you get a peek at how Jason's creative mind works -- and how you can apply many of his ideas to become more creative.
Get a hard copy -- because you'll want to highlight and take notes.
This book is must reading for entrepreneurs looking to gain a slight advantage by becoming more creative.

Jason brings you into his world of shirt wearing and general marketing genius through real stories from idea conception through the nitty-gritty hard work and mistakes that he encounters along the way. This book speaks with a voice that is both relateable and authentic. Jason ___? shares his experiences in a way that helps you see how you can launch your own crazy idea, weather it be selling beersicles, wearing shirts or anything else. He also shares how these experiences affected him personally, a side that most books on entrepreneurship don't explore.
Jason hits all the right notes for a book on becoming an entrepreneur and what it has to offer, what it will take from you and how it will change who ,ou are. An enjoyable book filled with humor, insight and inspiration.

The dirty secret in the world of publishing is 99% of the books never make money and most only sell a few copies. Jason knew this reality and decided that his book would be profitable. So in normal iwearyourshirt fashion, he flipped the world of publishing and decided to make $75k before he wrote a word of the book. Not a bad day at the office.
With all of that said, you can tell Jason poured out his soul into this book. I could tell you how much I like the book (except for some parts that were elementary but I understood his logic) and on the whole, it was one of those page turners that you have trouble putting down. I finished the book within about a 10 hour span and it is normally hard to keep my that interested. They say put your money where you mouth is so I liked the book enough to just order 16 copies from Amazon for people at my business and business associates. I think that goes much farther than being verbose.
If you start running into sections (especially all of Chapter 12) that seem elementary, skip to the next section and it will speed your reading of the book and your enjoyment but don't skip the little ads at the bottom. Some are funny, some are creative, and many gave me some helpful resources. Nothing is plain about Jason and we can only guess what his next last name will be.

Jason packed me with crystal clear inspiration to do things differently. He planted new seeds I am scared yet excited to water. My brain is digesting it all. My heart is in love with his heartfelt out-of-the-box creativity. I have no idea where I am heading but after reading this book I know one thing — the unknown tastes better as never before. Thank you Jason for gifting me hope on the road less traveled.
