Book Description
Social representation of entrepreneurship is naive. Successful entrepreneurs are visionaries, adept at identifying opportunity, planning, implementing and realizing the opportunity. The reality of business creation is very different. An entrepreneur starts with his skills, vision and commitment. He has self-confidence in a business that doesn’t exist. He believes that he can do it without having done it before. He has to sustain his belief over time, whatever the challenges. And evoke the same belief in customers, suppliers and stakeholders. His focus is implementation. He has setbacks when ideas don’t work. He has to remain upbeat. Perseverance needs courage and conviction amidst uncertainty and often desperation. Entrepreneurs are always grappling with dichotomous ideas; should they trust the path they are on or change direction? Creation of business is a capability that entrepreneurs learn on-the-job. The way entrepreneurs work and think is a significant variable in the creation of a new business. The hypothesis of the book is that entrepreneurship is not only about ‘what’ successful entrepreneurs’ do, ‘who’ they are or ‘whom’ they know, but more importantly about ‘how’ they do it. The entrepreneurial process revealed in the interviews has universal application as a way of entrepreneurship. It expands the potential of entrepreneurship. Methods of working and thinking are free resources accessible to everyone. Therefore, everyone has the potential to be an entrepreneur. Ideas and opportunities emerge from a way of thinking and doing. Implementation is graduation in entrepreneurship. The book is based on a collection of startup journeys of entrepreneurs. The book captures the thoughts and behaviors of a pre-success entrepreneur. There is a difference in how these moments are experienced by entrepreneurs as they occur and read by others ex post facto.

Book Description
'How many were killed in the attack today?' asked Fursa, the senior sheep. He was surveying the bloodstained East African grassland where the lions had gone on a rampage, now scattered with the shattered bones of his friends and families. Despair hung thick in the air.' Welcome to the jungle. Here, the survival of the fittest is the ultimate truth. The weaker animal gets eaten in what is considered a natural food chain. But some have been tampering with the organic arrangement for selfish gains and resorting to mass murder. In the Mau Forest in East Africa, the mighty lion king Kaizaar's autocratic ways are wreaking havoc on his subjects. Known to be the longest-serving ruler of the pride, he is ministered by the shrewd Shaka - the former leader of the lambs who betrayed his flock for the stronger lions. With their defences exposed, the lambs are backed into a corner. How do the lambs stop the carnage and find refuge? Will they be able to reverse the fate of their species and restore the Law of the Jungle? Can a bunch of fearful lambs learn to roar? What emerges is an illuminating leadership fable. The politics of the jungle and the strategies that aid survival are lessons of lasting value that will not only inspire but also help find the leader within you.

A breathtaking celebration of Instagram's premier solo female travel community, featuring 200 striking photographs—most of them all-new—plus empowering messages and practical tips for solo travelers. “For those with passports full of stories, this book carries you away to every dreamy corner of the earth. I can’t stop flipping through these visually incandescent pages to see where I’m capable of traveling to next!”—Caila Quinn, The Bachelor contestant and lifestyle and travel influencer From backpackers in Peru to artists in Berlin to storytellers in Morocco, Dame Traveler celebrates the diversity and bravery of women from around the world who are not afraid to think (and live) outside the box. The revolutionary Dame Traveler Instagram account was founded by Nastasia Yakoub, who was born into a strict Chaldean-Middle Eastern community where women are expected to marry young and put aside other personal ambitions. But at the age of twenty, Nastasia embarked on a solo trip to South Africa to volunteer at an orphanage in Cape Town, which sparked a love of world travel. Recognizing a void in the travel industry, she founded Dame Traveler, the first female travel community on Instagram, now more than half a million strong. Nastasia herself has traveled to sixty-three countries on solo adventures, sharing colorful photos of her tantalizing travels along the way. Dame Traveler celebrates these women with a photographic collection of 200 stunning images paired with inspiring captions, 80% of which have never been seen on the Instagram account. Organized into sections on architecture, culture, nature, and water, each entry features travel information, plus tips, advice, unique solo-travel experiences, and wisdom from contributing globe-trotters to embolden the next generation of Dame Travelers.

From Egopreneur to Ultrapreneur

Languages : en
Pages : 100
Book Description
During the boom years at the end of the 20th Century, 65 percent of entrepreneurial businesses failed within their first five years. They're considered the backbone of the American economy. We live in a great country; as long as it's legal, you can start whatever kind of business you want here almost immediately. But the numbers don't lie: Most of them fail. What's not apparent to most people is why. Do certain people have the magic touch, or do they know something the rest of us don't? This doesn't seem to be the case. For every example of what ti takes to be successful, it seems that you can find the contrary. People that have incredible educations seem to fail just as often as those that don't. Some people get rich from selling something that doesn't even seem sellable. When Starbucks started it's business, the number of coffee drinkers was down while the price of coffee was going up. In most U.S. cities today, you only need to drive a few blocks before finding a Starbucks. And despite the jokes about the company's seven-dollar cup of coffee, customers keep coming. There are hundreds of books on how to be successful, lots of them specifically for the entrepreneurial business owner. So, why do so many fail? Do the business owners not read these books? Do they just not understand what the author is trying to tell them? Are entrepreneurs just stupid? We know this isn't true simply by looking at examples like Google and Youtube. Not only did the entrepreneurs behind these ventures succeed, but they came up with products so effective that they positively impact the way most of us conduct our day-to-day lives. How did the creative minds that started these businesses succeed so wildly while most others-many of whom are equally talented-fail so miserably? There are seminars galore on how to be successful. There are many people that are willing to coach you to success. It these work, why are the statistics so bad? This book is about how I came up with the answers for myself. I am a successful entrepreneur. I have owned one of my businesses for 25 years, and several years ago I started a second business, soon followed by a third business. I love what I do all day long and mu businesses continue to grow every year. I found the secret to my success. And you can too!
