You would probably think “Argh, another scammer trying to con me into putting money in some false money-making opportunity". No, that’s not the case here!Whatever money you have lying around or saved in the bank is gradually losing its value due to “inflation” — resulting in the decreased buying power of the currency. To top it off, the middle class is diminishing with the poor getting poorer and the rich getting richer. For the latter group, however, there is a reason for that, because the rich know how to make their money work for them through smart investing.But why aren’t more people investing?

Online Trading and Stock Investing for Beginners will guide you through:The confusing common terminologies simplified and types of investments availableThe best stock trading platforms and brokerages with the crucial criteria to look forThe secret to generating huge wealth in investing through the power of compounding...on top everything else that beginners need to know.The best part is that this will take you from being a newbie who doesn’t know anything to purchasing your first stock afterward.

  Agile Project Management takes the ideas from Agile software development and applies them to a more general idea of project management. Agile methods generally aim to promote a project management process that encourages stakeholder involvement, feedback, objective metrics and effective controls. With research proving that almost half of all improvement initiatives fail due to lack of effective leadership, then as business owners the time has never been more prudent to consider how we are managing our businesses and what kind of leadership strategies we have in place. Given that so many industries are littered with failed start-ups and businesses these days, it is clear that more work and investment is needed to develop future leaders. But even with the right leadership in place, which business model does one choose to follow? There are numerous schools of thought and endless business theories on this topic, but one I believe can revolutionize the way in which all of our businesses operate is that of “Agile Project Management”. It’s a relatively new concept – especially in businesses operating outside of the IT and technology sectors – but one that I believe could really improve how many companies perform in projects where high quality deliverables are require. But what is exactly is ‘Agile Project Management’? And what is an ‘Agile team’? What makes an ‘Agile Project Manager’ different from a ‘traditional’ project manager? These are just some of the questions we’ll be answering within this book. We also want you to: - Understand the variables and factors that have an impact on the overall implication and sustainability of your movement towards an Agile Project Management style - Identify the main differences between management and leadership styles and behaviours and why going Agile could change your business for the better

  “A lively history” of how TV advertising became a defining force in American culture between 1946 and 1964(Technology and Culture).   The two decades following World War II brought television into homes and, of course, television commercials. Those commercials, in turn, created an image of the postwar American Dream that lingers to this day.   This book recounts how advertising became a part of everyday lives and national culture during this midcentury period, not only reflecting consumers’ desires but shaping them, and broadcasting a vivid portrait of comfort, abundance, ease, and happy family life and, of course, keeping up with the Joneses. As the author asserts, it’s nearly impossible to understand our culture without contemplating these visual celebrations of conformity and consumption, and this insightful, entertaining volume of social history helps us do just that.

  In less than a decade, salesforce.com has grown from a simple idea  to a company with a billion dollars in revenue and the market  leader of a new $52 billion industry that it created. How did  salesforce.com grow from a start up in a rented apartment into the  worlds fastest growing software company? Marc Benioff, the  visionary founder, chairman and CEO of salesforce.com, and his team  have created and employed new business, technology, and  philanthropic models tailored to this time of extraordinary change.    Through compelling, candid, and unlikely first person stories,  Benioff shows how salesforce.com pioneered a simple idea  (delivering business applications as a service over the Internet)  to change the way all businesses use software applications, and  ultimately, change the way the software industry works. With  Benioffs unconventional advice and unusual call-out lessons  from the Salesforce.com Playbook, any business can go  against the grain, rapidly change the game, and learn how to  achieve success on demand. This book will help you:      Align your organization through Benioffs proprietary  management tool, V2MOM, which until now, only a limited number of  people had access. Those who do useV2MOMincluding all  salesforce.com employees and prominent business leaders who are  Benioffs friendshave found significant  benefits.     Evolve a product or service from adoption to addiction by using  Benioffs Feedback Loop, which allows you to  give customers what they ask for (not what you think  theyll ask for). Legendary company founders Michael Dell and  Howard Schultz both turned to Benioff when they reclaimed the CEO  reigns of their companies to learn how to use this process, as well  as salesforce.coms Ideas technology, because  they work.    Build Street Teams (an idea Benioff borrowed  from hip-hop personality MC Hammer) and develop customer  testimony (learned from the Reverend Billy Graham) to turn  customers into evangelists for your brand.      Scale your company by using Benioffs process of  intelligent reaction, not grand design, which allows  you to best respond to the changing marketplace and reap the  rewards of constant innovation.      Establish an international presence quickly by thinking  globally from the very beginning, and raise significant start-up  money through unconventional means.      Integrate philanthropy into your business model with the  unique model Benioff invented for salesforce.com and that has since  been copied by myriad companies, including Google for its new  foundation.
