    This memoir is a matter of record and a testimony showing that hard work and perseverance driven by passion results in good things. It also includes an understanding that a faith in our God and His Will is incorporated into successful elements of people's lives. David Ewen did not know this in the early stages of his entrepreneurial career, but after nearly a quarter of a century of experience, this has been proven to be evident. This is a discussion of David Ewen's entrepreneurial experience that will shed light on what truly defines success in business without having to become wealthy. The purpose is to show that wealth does not define success. The best way to describe success is when you enjoy what you are doing and are good at it. Every entrepreneur has a parent or a mentor who always says to them I want you to be happy. That is what David's parents said to him and that's what his pastors say to him. David Ewen says that he is happy.

    Most business leaders understand the power of a dynamic, positive culture—but almost every effort to change culture fails. Why? The approach is often all wrong. Rather than attempt to "transform" a new culture from the ground up, leaders need to instead spearhead a culture renovation.In Culture Renovation, Kevin Oakes provides tangible, tactical insights drawn from a robust data set and informed by CEOs and HR leaders at many of the world's top companies. In this book you'll find everything you need to rebuild your corporate culture with care and expertise, including three phases and detailed action steps for architecting the change you want to see; practical insights and examples from T-Mobile, Microsoft, 3M, and other top companies; the traits of a healthy corporate culture; and proven talent practices to maintain your new culture for long-term success.Oakes identifies eighteen proven leadership actions for turning any culture into an agile, resilient, and innovative high-performance organization. You'll learn how to best understand the culture in place today and set a new cultural path for decades to come; develop a cocreation mindset;  identify influencers and blockers; ferret out skeptics and non-believers; measure, monitor, and report progress; and implement "next practices" in talent strategies to sustain the renovation.

    The social media craze has, ironically, given birth to one of the  biggest booms in recent book publishing. The gaping hole in this  market, however, is B2B. Nearly every social media book that's been  published either targets the consumer market or treats B2B as an  afterthought. If you search for "B2B social media marketing" on  Amazon, the results revealed not a single relevant title. In fact,  Paul's own two social media books both turn up in the top 10  results, despite the fact that neither of them directly targets  this market.   This is a stunning gap, given that some of the earliest adopters  of social media were B2B companies like IBM, Sun Microsystems and  Cisco. There is also plentiful evidence that B2B marketers are  hungry for information about this topic. At the recent Inbound  Marketing Summit in Boston, a show of hands from the audience of  350 marketers revealed that about 70% identified themselves as B2B.  The authors' own consulting and speaking engagements, which were  principally to consumer audiences a couple of years ago, are now  almost entirely to B2B companies and trade associations.  The Business Marketing Association estimates B2B marketing  spending at over $80 billion annually. Among the top 50 companies  on the Fortune 500, nearly all have significant B2B sales. What's  more, the B2B market tends to be less price sensitive than the  consumer market, meaning that readers are more likely to pay a  premium price for specialized guide and to buy in quantity.  How Businesses Reach Businesses will build upon our  extensive experience in this space, the authors' two successful  social media books, and more than a decade of collective immersion  in this topic.  This will be a hands-on guide with plentiful examples, case  studies and best practices. It will focus on the channels that are  proving most effective for B2B marketers as well as on the topics  that are unique to this segment, including prospecting for clients,  long selling cycles and high-ticket items, using social media for  long-term client relationships, corporate transparency and  policies, etc.
