Book Description
Is it possible to run a successful business without sacrificing your mental and physical health? Most business owners and leaders have a habit of overcoming their company’s challenges at the expense of their own wellbeing. They work long hours, try to do too many things, and struggle to reconcile the excitement of the early days with the stress and exhaustion they feel now. Their businesses may be profitable, but those profits have come at a high personal cost. In other words, they’ve run up an emotional overdraft. If this is you, you can be sure that not only is this damaging for your health, it’s also masking some of the issues that need to be resolved in your business. Because reducing your emotional overdraft is as much of a lifesaver for your company as it is for you. While it’s common to feel this way, it’s not inevitable. This book explains why you’ve run up an emotional overdraft and how you can reduce it, so that you can create a healthier relationship with your business, your loved ones, and yourself. In the process, you’ll be helping your company to thrive in ways you could never imagine — and without having to try so hard. Andy Brown is an award-winning adviser and coach for people-based businesses, helping them to grow sustainably and increase their value.

Ronnie Apteker's Funny Business
Author: Gus Silber
Publisher: Penguin Random House South Africa
ISBN: 1770221247
Category : Humor
Languages : en
Pages : 165
Book Description
Why does an entrepreneur, like a comedian, need to close a deal every 15 seconds? It is said that inside every successful entrepreneur there is a stand-up comic struggling to get out. Well, meet one who managed to escape. His name is Ronnie Apteker, and no, he’s not an apteker. He’s the high-energy, high-tech founder of South Africa’s first internet service provider, Internet Solutions, and a number of other innovative online ventures. But his real business is getting a laugh out of people, whether it’s in a boardroom, on a stage or on a movie set. As a storyteller, moviemaker and creative spirit, Ronnie takes business seriously enough to know that you don’t need to take yourself too seriously to succeed. Funny Business is a seriously funny and comically serious look at the arcane art and science of entrepreneurship, in which Ronnie reveals why it helps, as an entrepreneur, to have a nice Jewish mother; why being a waiter is the best training for an entrepreneur, especially if you’re serving steak tartare; why you sometimes need to slow down to move fast in a world where progress is a paradox; and why some mistakes are too good to make only once Much more than a business book, this book is everyone’s business. It’s about the way the world works; it’s about living your life with grace and purpose; it’s about learning to love what you do for a living. And it might help you to make it as an entrepreneur ... not to mention a stand-up comic.

Book Description
USA Today Bestseller National Bestseller "Like going to business school and therapy all in one book." —James Clear, New York Times Bestselling Author, Atomic Habits Once a barista in a small cafe making $6.50 an hour, Andrew Wilkinson built a business valued at over a billion dollars by the time he was 36—and yet, his path to success was anything but a straight line. In Never Enough, Wilkinson pulls back the curtain on the lives of the ultra-rich, sharing insights into building a successful business that has been called a “Berkshire Hathaway, but for internetcompanies,” and a surprising first-person account of what it’s actually like to become a billionaire. Never Enough features both the lessons Wilkinson has learned as well as the many mistakes made on the road to wealth—some of which cost him money, happiness, and important relationships. Taking a “no secrets” approach to stories the wealthy rarely reveal, Wilkinson is unwaveringly honest about some of the unexpected downsides of money: its toxic effect on personal relationships, how the lifestyles of the rich and famous aren’t all they’re cracked up to be, and how competition with peers leaves everyone—even billionaires—feeling like they never have enough. In this book, you’ll discover: A candid glimpse into the lives of the super-rich and what truly matters beyond money Insights on building a successful business from the ground up Lessons learned from the mistakes made on the journey to his fortune The surprising realities of life as a billionaire and the challenges that come with extreme wealth In this rare and deeply honest account, Wilkinson examines his journey to nine zeros, what came after that pinnacled number, and the essential things money can’t buy.

ISBN: 1399401750
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
The essential guide to creating a successful organization by making things easier, better and more straightforward for your customers. Leadership Book of the Year 2023, as awarded by the Institute of Leadership Across all sectors, organizations' fixation with functionality has meant that the 'human' elements of the customer's experience have become neglected. Strict processes and automated procedures have created organizations full of people who aren't allowed to act in a 'human' way. As a result, and despite these new technologies, customers are no more satisfied than they were a decade ago (according to the Institute of Customer Service) and, according to Edelman, they now trust big organizations even less than they did in the past. In The Human Experience, John Sills draws upon extensive research and illustrative case studies to explain that the emotional experience is just as important as the functional one, and, if done right, will create a more efficient business. He also demonstrates that the customer experience is not just the responsibility of front-line employees, but shared across the company, from the CEO operating as the spokesperson of the business to the programmers developing a seamless and welcoming user interface. Whether you're a well-established incumbent or an early-stage start-up, on either end of your product or service is a human. Packed full of practical advice and engaging case studies, The Human Experience is the ultimate guide to creating a culture and an experience with humanity at its heart, helping to develop a customer base that will stay with an organization, and a company that will grow in an increasingly efficient way.
