Summary

This book is intended to provide information and resources that entrepreneurs can use to navigate the challenging waters of managing and growing an emerging company.  The book begins with a survey of emerging company growth models based on theoretical and empirical research that has been conducted over the course of the last several decades.  The research is then used as the foundation to chart a hypothetical path for the evolution of an emerging growth company, realizing that there is no universal solution and that each entrepreneur must confront and overcome her or his unique set of problems.  Subsequent chapters deal with managing growth and change and knowledge-intensive firms, as well as with steps that need to be taken when a company gets into financial trouble or is otherwise embroiled in a crisis situation.  The last chapter discusses how companies can manage their reputation, which is an important subject given that there is growing evidence that a substantial percentage of a company's value in the eyes of investors and consumers is tied to its reputation.

    How you can make use of your law degree—without making yourself miserable.   When they enter the field, lawyers seem to have it made—with a high-salary, high-status profession that should set them up for life. Yet, even when they seem to have it all, they often start to feel like something’s off. Their careers have become horribly soul-sucking. They’re managing their lives, sort of—but they feel duped. Trapped. Their “good job” is affecting their health and relationships—and they’re just trying to keep all the plates spinning.   Here’s the good news: Beverly Davidek has been there, and in this book she and husband Dirk show how you can find a job that allows for happiness, satisfaction, and peace of mind. If you’re still struggling to find a way to provide for your family without losing yourself, this book is for you. Part Ask and It Is Given and part What Color Is Your Parachute? (but written specifically for lawyers), Happy Lawyer gives you the tools you need to get unstuck in your career and start living your dream.

Among other truths, successful people know that:Belief lifts your talent.Initiative activates your talent.Focus directs your talent.Preparation positions your talent.Practice sharpens your talent.Perseverance sustains your talent.Character protects your talent. . . . and more! 
It's what you add to your talent that makes the greatest difference. With authentic examples and time-tested wisdom, Maxwell shares thirteen attributes you need to maximize your potential and live the life of your dreams. 
You can have talent alone and fall short of your potential. Or you can go beyond talent and really stand out.

    "A game-changer for anyone who feels like they're waiting for their 'real' career to start. You can either read Alexa's book, or keep having the 'Sunday Scaries' for the rest of your f*cking life. You pick." (Sarah Knight, New York Times bestselling author of Get Your Sh*t Together) 
An easy-to-follow, nine-step process for how to land your dream job and cut through the noise of job-searching in the 21st century.   
This program is read by the author. 
Banging your head against the wall about the job search? Wondering why nobody's even bothering to send you a rejection letter (much less an interview request)? You are not alone. This process is a beast, but there's good news: #EntryLevelBoss is the audiobook for you. This is an easy-to-follow roadmap for transforming yourself from frustrated job seeker into hired, happy, productive human. 
One part behind-the-scenes memoir, one part playbook, #EntryLevelBoss lays out career coach Alexa Shoen's proven 9-step methodology for approaching the job search during these crazy times we're living through. Think of it like a fitness plan—except instead of killer abs, you wind up with multiple interviews for a bunch of jobs you actually want. Cool, right? 
This is not another manifesto about finding your passion. (I mean, yes, let's find your passion, sure, but the rent is also due and I would assume you're interested in getting paid.) This is a real plan that's based on the real rules of the game. You'll learn how to effectively identify your future hiring manager, for example, and slide into their DMs in the least creepy way possible. 
Alexa Shoen is the internet's leading confidant for panicking job seekers. She has guided thousands of people into full-time employment using these exact steps. Even if you're convinced you're the least hireable person on the planet, Alexa's got you covered.
