    The Entrepreneur Equation

    By: Carol Roth

    It’s time to drop the rose-colored glasses and face the facts: most new businesses fail, with often devastating consequences for the would-be entrepreneur.

    "The Entrepreneur Equation" helps you do the math before you set down the entrepreneurial path so that you can answer more than just "Could I be an entrepreneur?" but rather "Should I be an entrepreneur?". By understanding
    what it takes to build a valuable business as well as how to assess the risks and rewards of business ownership based on your personal circumstances, you can learn how to stack the odds of success in your favor and ultimately decide if business ownership is the best possible path for you, now or ever.

    Through illustrative examples and personalized exercises, tell-it-like-it-is Carol Roth helps you create and evaluate your own personal Entrepreneur Equation as you:

    Learn what it takes to be a successful entrepreneur in today's
    competitive environment.
    Save money, time and effort by avoiding business ownership when the
    time isn't right for you.
    Identify and evaluate the risks and rewards of a new business based
    on your goals and circumstances.
    Evaluate whether your dreams are best served by a hobby, job or
    business.
    Gain the tools that you need to maximize your business success.

    "The Entrepreneur Equation" is essential reading for the aspiring entrepreneur. Before you invest your life savings, invest in this book!

    Who

    By: Geoff Smart, Randy Street

    In this instant New York Times Bestseller, Geoff Smart and Randy Street provide a simple, practical, and effective solution to what The Economist calls “the single biggest problem in business today”: unsuccessful hiring. The average hiring mistake costs a company $1.5 million or more a year and countless wasted hours. This statistic becomes even more startling when you consider that the typical hiring success rate of managers is only 50 percent.

    The silver lining is that “who” problems are easily preventable. Based on more than 1,300 hours of interviews with more than 20 billionaires and 300 CEOs, Who presents Smart and Street’s A Method for Hiring. Refined through the largest research study of its kind ever undertaken, the A Method stresses fundamental elements that anyone can implement–and it has a 90 percent success rate.

    Whether you’re a member of a board of directors looking for a new CEO, the owner of a small business searching for the right people to make your company grow, or a parent in need of a new babysitter, it’s all about Who. Inside you’ll learn how to

    • avoid common “voodoo hiring” methods
    • define the outcomes you seek
    • generate a flow of A Players to your team–by implementing the #1 tactic used by successful businesspeople
    • ask the right interview questions to dramatically improve your ability to quickly distinguish an A Player from a B or C candidate
    • attract the person you want to hire, by emphasizing the points the candidate cares about most

    In business, you are who you hire. In Who, Geoff Smart and Randy Street offer simple, easy-to-follow steps that will put the right people in place for optimal success.

    Change Anything: The New Science of Personal Success

    By: Al Switzler, David Maxfield, Joseph Grenny, Kerry Patterson, Ron McMillan

    A stunning new approach to how individuals can not only change their lives for the better in the workplace, but also their lives away from the office, including (but not limited to) finding ways to improve one's working relationship with others, one's overall health, outlook on life, and so on.

    For example, why is it that 95% of all diet attempts fail? Why do New Year's Resolutions last no more than a few days? Why can't people with good intentions seem to make consistent and positive strides in the way they want to improve their careers, financial fitness, physical fitness, and so on?

    Based upon the latest research in a number of psychological and medical fields, the authors of CHANGE ANYTHING will show that traditional will-power is not necessarily the answer to these strivings, that people are affected in their behaviors by far more subtle influences. CHANGE ANYTHING shows how individuals can come to understand these powerful and influential forces, and how to put these forces to work in a positive manner that brings real and meaningful results.

    The authors present an array of everyday examples that will change and truly empower you to reexamine the way you go about your business and life.

    The Personal MBA: Master the Art of Business

    By: Josh Kaufman





    Master the fundamentals, hone your business instincts, and save a fortune in tuition.

    The consensus is clear: MBA programs are a waste of time and money. Even the elite schools offer outdated assembly-line educations about profit-and-loss statements and PowerPoint presentations. After two years poring over sanitized case studies, students are shuffled off into middle management to find out how business really works.

    Josh Kaufman has made a business out of distilling the core principles of business and delivering them quickly and concisely to people at all stages of their careers. His blog has introduced hundreds of thousands of readers to the best business books and most powerful business concepts of all time. In The Personal MBA, he shares the essentials of sales, marketing, negotiation, strategy, and much more.

    True leaders aren't made by business schools-they make themselves, seeking out the knowledge, skills, and experiences they need to succeed. Read this book and in one week you will learn the principles it takes most people a lifetime to master.
