Invaluable - The Secret to...

Dave Crenshaw

In his first book, The Myth of Multitasking, Dave Crenshaw showed readers how to gain more time in their lives, making them more present in both work and life. Multitasking discussed the budget of all 168 hours in a week; essentially the total work-life balance. Invaluable focuses just on the hours spent working, and how to maximize the value of every hour. A business fable, Invaluable expands upon a back story of The Myth of Multitasking (those who have read both will find familiar characters). Invaluable focuses on the experiences of Jason, a former intern recently hired at GreenGarb. Like many young twenty-something employees, Jason is frustrated with his job. As a college graduate, he feels he should be making more money, his skills and knowledge are being underutilized, and that he is underappreciated by his boss, Tracy, and his company. Jasons journey toward becoming Invaluable begins when he expresses his frustration during a visit to his octogenarian great-grandfather, Charlie. Charlie shares a story of his experience, at Jasons age, working in a textile factory during and after World War II. He shares how he started to build his career by being the guy who looked for opportunities to serve instead of complaining about small annoyances. Charlie plants the seed of a new perspective in Jason mind: before he can get a raise, he must prove he deserves the raise. He must show his boss that he is invaluable, rather than expecting to be paid what he thinks he is worth. Jason skeptically brings this concept up to his boss the next day. This begins a journey of discovery for both Jason and Tracy. They start as skeptics and debate their way to a starting premise. Then contact with Helen (the CEO), Phil (the business coach). Jason and Tracy begin to build a framework of working together in a way that will help them both improve job security and get a raise. Gradually, the way they view their jobs and their company changes. Jason and Tracy realize that their wage is determined by their personal productivity, not their CEO. They also learn that in order to advance their own position and become truly invaluable, they must help each other. The book will include an appendix of worksheets and examples, giving the reader concrete tools to apply immediately.

History of Money

Introbooks Team

The history of money tells us of the development of the means through which transactions can be carried out with the help of a medium of exchange. From eons now, man has been exchanging goods for a certain price. This price came either in the form of other goods or money. The interesting journey of money from barter products to bitcoin and electronic money covers different ways in which societies and cultures perceived money.
There were a lot of things that were used as a medium of exchange before money made its appearance. These included livestock, vegetables, grains which were useful for the people. But then there were other things like cowrie shells and beads which were used for money solely because they were very attractive. Precious metals and stones were also used as a medium of exchange because of their usefulness and attractiveness.
In the modern world, money has gained a different aspect. It does not require an exchange of produce or commodities, instead, it relies on the exchange of currencies. Money is available today in different forms like currency notes, coins, credit cards, and electronic funds.
In as early as 350 BC, the Greek philosopher Aristotle spoke about the importance of an object for bartering it or selling it. The first official currency is said to be minted in 600 BC in Lydia which is modern day Western Turkey. But there has been evidence that money may have existed before this in various other cultures and cities.
Gradually, the idea of giving monetary value to a relatively insignificant object in order to use it as money became a popular idea. This gave rise to bank notes which are otherwise just a simple piece of paper with no value.
