More balls than most - Juggle your way to success with proven company shortcuts

Lara Morgan

Summary

At 23 and relatively clueless about business, planning and management, Lara Morgan was given the opportunity to sell miniature soaps and shampoos to hotels. Just 17 years, several million bars of soap and a portfolio of top licensed brand names later, Lara sold her majority stake in Pacific Direct for £20 million.
In that time she revolutionised her industry, built a successful, forward thinking, profitable business and faced some very tough decisions. She still inspires loyalty and admiration wherever she goes. Continually self-critical, Lara has learnt lessons from failing to plan a work–life balance. She has experienced the guilt and desperation all working parents feel when missing out on a landmark childhood event. She has laughed, cried and gritted her teeth through hilarious challenges whilst trying (and sometimes failing) to meet the demands of all those around her.
Learn from Lara how to:
• Build a successful business and still have a life;
• Have the confidence (and tricks) to make those vital first contacts;
• Take the creative decisions that will set your business apart from the rest;
• Use the simplicity of templates and frameworks to accelerate your growth and shortcut the pain process when laying down a platform for business growth;
• Inspire your team to create and celebrate their success and yours.
More balls than most is written in the down-to-earth, direct style that marks Lara Morgan out among her competitors, and its ideas are tried, tested and guarantee results. Readers of this book will understand how to overcome seemingly insurmountable problems and be able to realise the drive and determination required to build a winning business.

My Secret Life Vol 2 Chapter 12

Anonymous

My Secret Life, the anonymously written erotic memoirs of a Victorian English gentleman who refers to himself simply as 'Walter' is one of the most idiosyncratic and sexually obsessed books ever written. In this vast autobiographical confessional the author recounts, in meticulous detail, his sexual exploits throughout the course of a life devoted entirely to the pursuit of carnal pleasure. Through this compelling exploration of the author's sexual behavior we are left with a uniquely entertaining insight into life behind the closed doors of Victorian society. My Secret Life is evocative, provocative, sorrowful, suspenseful, obscene, exciting and highly erotic...in it we are privy to the thoughts, emotions and memories of one of the most unusual, unsung and colorful English eccentrics of the Victorian era. 
Now, for the first time, the complete unabridged version of this unique text is being narrated and scored by film composer Dominic Crawford Collins as an 'audiofilm' (an audiobook in which the emotional landscape is explored through the music score). Each chapter of My Secret Life will be released at monthly intervals over the next ten or so years culminating in what is likely to become the longest audio book ever to be produced.

Vagabond Princess - The Great...

Ruby Lal

Situated in the early decades of the magnificent Mughal Empire, this first ever biography of Princess Gulbadan offers an enthralling portrait of a charismatic adventurer and unique pictures of the multicultural society in which she lived. Following a migratory childhood that spanned Kabul and north India, Gulbadan spent her middle years in a walled harem established by her nephew Akbar to showcase his authority as the Great Emperor. Gulbadan longed for the exuberant itinerant lifestyle she'd known. With Akbar's blessing, she led an unprecedented sailing and overland voyage and guided harem women on an extended pilgrimage in Arabia. Amid increasing political tensions, the women's "un-Islamic" behavior forced their return, lengthened by a dramatic shipwreck in the Red Sea.Gulbadan wrote a book upon her return, the only extant work of prose by a woman of the age. A portion of it is missing, either lost to history or redacted by officials who did not want the princess to have her say.Vagabond Princess contemplates the story of the missing pages and breathes new life into a daring historical figure. It offers a portal to a richly complex world, rife with movement and migration, where women's conviviality, adventure, and autonomies shine through.

Pathfinder Pioneer - The Memoir...

Raymond E. Brim

In this engaging book we see how an eighteen-year-old miner shoveling ore from deep in the ground in Utah suddenly found himself, only two years later, 30,000 feet in the air over Nazi Germany, piloting a Flying Fortress in the first wave of America's air counteroffensive in Europe.Like thousands of other young Americans, Ray Brim was plucked by the U.S. Army to be a combat flyer, and was quickly pitted against the hardened veterans of the Luftwaffe. Brim turned out to have a natural knack for flying, however, and was assigned to the select squadron developing lead Pathfinder techniques, while experimenting with radar. He was among the first to test the teeth of the Luftwaffe's defenses, and once those techniques had been honed, thousands of other bomber crews would follow into the maelstrom, from which 80,000 never returned.Pathfinder Pioneer gives us vivid insights into the genesis of the American air campaign, told with the humor, attention to detail, and humility that captures the heart and soul of our "Greatest Generation."
