The Mary Kay Way - Timeless Principles From America's Greatest Woman Entrepreneur

Mary Kay Ash

Editorial: Wiley

Sinopsis

A revised and updated edition of the cosmetics icon’s timeless guide to entrepreneurial success, featuring her people-centered business philosophy. Mary Kay Ash built a global independent sales force that today numbers 1.8 million women, and is respected by business and academic leaders. How? The secret is in this book. For forty-five years, the principles in The Mary Kay Way have helped the company succeed through changing economic times and explosive global growth. It has been said that no company wholeheartedly embodies the values and reflects the beliefs of its founder more than Mary Kay Inc. Now you can put the same inspiring principles to work for you. Recognized today as America’s greatest woman entrepreneur, Mary Kay Ash stepped out in 1963 in a man’s world to blaze a new path for women. She grew her business based not on the rules of competition, but on The Golden Rule. By “praising people to success” and “sandwiching every bit of criticism between two heavy layers of praise,” this energetic Texas titan opened new opportunities for women around the world and built a multibillion-dollar corporation. Mary Kay’s unconventional business philosophy was first published in 1984. Now revised and updated for the first time, with examples from her company’s top independent salespeople, The Mary Kay Way is perhaps her most important legacy. Praise for The Mary Kay Way“One of the most inspiring entrepreneurial leaders, Mary Kay always understood the importance of people and the value they can bring to an organization.” —J. W. Marriott, Jr., Chairman and CEO, Marriott International, Inc.“Mary Kay knew that when you put people first and then surround them with processes and disciplines that recognize their efforts, performance will soar.” —David C. Novak, Chairman and CEO, Yum! Brands, Inc. (KFC, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, Long John Silver’s, A&W)

The Fatal Conceit - The Errors...

F. A. Hayek

A critique of socialism by the Nobel Prize–winning economist: “The energy and precision with which Mr. Hayek sweeps away his opposition is impressive.” —The Wall Street Journal 
 
In this work, F.A. Hayek—a pioneer in monetary theory and proponent of libertarian philosophy—gives the main arguments for the free-market case and presents his manifesto on the “errors of socialism.” Hayek argues that socialism has, from its origins, been mistaken on factual, and even on logical, grounds and that its repeated failures in the many different practical applications of socialist ideas that the twentieth century witnessed were the direct outcome of these errors. He labels as the “fatal conceit” the idea that “man is able to shape the world around him according to his wishes.” 
 
“The achievement of The Fatal Conceit is that it freshly shows why socialism must be refuted rather than merely dismissed—then refutes it again.” —Fortune

2017 has been a year of changes in the world. Above everything, the blockchain has certainly been the main innovation that will go down in history. While it is not a new technology, it has just started to show its influence. It is clear that cryptocurrencies will become more and more popular in 2020
In fact, the market of cryptocurrencies has now reached over 620 billion dollar in evaluation. It is a remarkable achievement, since this industry is now bigger than McDonald's and Pepsi.

This is the perfect time to get into this space, both from a trader and an investor point of view. Most of the 1,300 cryptocurrencies in existence are undervalued (some of them are overvalued, of course), and it is not sure how long things will stay that way.

Game Theory and Strategy Explained

Can Akdeniz, IntroBooks Team

Game Theory has evolved since its inception, but at its root, it is the modeling of strategic interactions between two or more players where there is a set of rules and outcomes! This basic definition gets to the heart of what Game Theory is. And this can be applied to almost any situation in your life and your business.  
Regardless of your status, as an entrepreneur or a part of the employed, this theory can serve you well. It can help you develop strategic approaches to real life situations, where you predict, with remarkable accuracy, the best possible route towards the best possible outcomes. If you wanted to have a crystal ball, one that helps you predict the future, then Game Theory would be as close to that crystal ball as you can get, in real-life!  
Game Theory and Strategy go hand in hand. In fact, they are like the big brother and the little brother of social interaction. Where Game Theory is the big brother, used to guide you along the way, Strategy is the little brother, needing guidance, and who cannot exist successfully in the absence of ‘big brother’! They, therefore, have a tandem and reciprocal relationship.
