  Empowered Employees Are the Key to Business Growth 
  Many business leaders focus only on satisfying their customers as the best way to grow their business. Makes sense, right? Chad Peterman, President and CEO of Peterman Brothers, sees it differently. In his engaging new book, The Empowerment Project, Peterman delves into the concept of empowering employees by creating a supportive corporate culture, giving employees the authority to make decisions, providing training and career path planning, and showing employees that mistakes are opportunities for learning and growth. 
  In Peterman’s view, an outgrowth of employees feeling empowered and trusted is that they will provide excellent customer service, and through satisfied customers, the business will experience nonstop growth. His results speak for themselves. In 1986, Chad’s father started Peterman Heating, Cooling & Plumbing, a one-man operation in Beech Grove, IN. Chad and his brother Tyler joined his father in 2011 and took the company to the next level, with 600 employees across 11 locations and revenues of $110 million.

  Learn how to make sure you get the correct Social Security benefits, avoid frightening clawbacks, and how to deal with the opaque bureaucracy of Social Security. 
   
   
   
  Social Security admits it has made $21.6 billion in incorrect benefits payments! Now it wants its money back—from widows, orphans, retired schoolteachers, and even young children whose parents received disability benefits on their behalf. 
   
   
   
  Often with no explanation, they send threatening letters clawing back amounts ranging from several thousand dollars to more than $100,000. The clawback notices all carry the threat that benefits will be stopped immediately if a repayment plan is not set. 
   
   
   
  But it's almost impossible to get an explanation, the records, or an appointment for a resolution of these clawback demands. It could happen to you—or to someone you love. 
   
   
   
  We wrote this book to help you and let you know you're not alone. We are also working to pressure Congress and the Treasury Secretary to prevent these intimidating clawback interactions that impact our most vulnerable citizens.
