Summary

Using the right phrases at the right moment can make all the difference! It can generate real interest in you, provoke more questions, and show an interviewer that you are the right person for the job. The same applies to written communications such as letters or emails and to voice mail messages. Like learning a foreign language, these phrases, when practiced carefully and used properly, become natural and powerful techniques by which to express oneself. The advice, materials and phrases in Beyond the Resume arm you with appropriate actions to take and phrases to use. It is not the intent of the book to "prop you up" to sound like someone you are not. Instead, it is to help you speak to your strengths, experiences, and jo ] know-how. The book is a "soup to nuts" kind of book that takes you from the point of initial contact with the hiring authority, through interviewing, and on to closing the deal.

    “Eye-opening—shatters several myths, legends, and assumptions about entrepreneurship, opportunities for entrepreneurs, and the role of start-ups in society.” —Jay Rao, Professor of Technology & Innovation, Babson College   Writer, consultant and speaker Chris Rabb coined the term “invisible capital” to represent the unseen forces that dramatically impact entrepreneurial viability when a good attitude, a great idea, and hard work simply aren’t enough. In his book, Invisible Capital: How Unseen Forces Shape Entrepreneurial Opportunity, Rabb puts forth concrete and effective ways entrepreneurs and their advocates can build and grow sustainable enterprises amid these unseen forces created by society’s uneven playing field. By honoring democratic ideals, challenging assumptions, and reframing how success is defined, Rabb illuminates the promise of commonwealth entrepreneurship. This compelling and often counter-intuitive book illustrates how broad and meaningful entrepreneurial opportunity benefits not just individual entrepreneurs, but local communities and society at large.  “My book discusses how green jobs can fix America’s two biggest problems: pollution and poverty. Invisible Capital illustrates masterfully why community-centered entrepreneurship is an essential component of this solution.” —Van Jones, New York Times-bestselling author of The Green Collar Economy“Women entrepreneurs and advocates for women-owned businesses, listen up and read Chris Rabb’s book to find out how to evaluate invisible capital—not just financial capital—and leverage it for success.” —Linda Tarr-Whelan, author of Women Lead the Way  “Democratizing the economy is one of the truly great challenges of the twenty-first century. In this splendid book, Chris Rabb provides a detailed guide to the invisible forces that benefit the few and hold so many other people back. Make it required reading for your business bookshelf.” —Michael Edwards, author of Small Change

    The latest book from Dr. Direct™ will show you how to master online advertising and enhance your social media strategies. This is the perfect companion to the author’s bestselling book Ca$hvertising.  Cashvertising revealed the secrets of ad agencies to the masses. With Cashvertising Online Whitman reveals even more and how to implement his advice in clear-language to increase your bottom line. Most books discussing online ads teach things like: how to create accounts, how to select demographics, what options to select (video vs. carousel vs. slideshow, etc.), and other topics like maximizing the use of Facebook pixels for fine-tuning your target audience. To create successful Facebook, Instagram, Twitter ads, not only do you need to know copywriting basics, but you also need to understand the highly personal nature of the medium. The successful copywriter needs to make the shift to the highly personal “you and me” approach and learn how to sell without expressing the typical appearance of salesmanship. Likewise, a number of books teaching email marketing primarily focus on things like mailing lists, segmentation, funnels, and automation. All important stuff to be sure, but unless your sales copy is persuasive, these things aren’t worth a damn. The majority of these books spend little time teaching readers how to use the power of advertising and consumer psychology in the Facebook and email environments to cause people to actually respond—the whole purpose of advertising!Cashvertising Online is not a book on general copywriting. Instead, it examines the hidden principles specific to actual successful online ads and email promotions and the numerous and potent psychological techniques they employ that make them so persuasive.

    Startup Leadership - How Savvy...

    Only a small fraction of entrepreneurs lead their enterprises to  a successful reality. But, sadly, even if their enterprise does  become successful, they can still fail when their companies  succeed. As the enterprise becomes more successful, the boards of  directors and other stakeholders want to see that business succeed  in the futureand they dont usually see that future  with the founding entrepreneur leading the way.  It happened to Steve Jobs. It has happened to thousands of other  entrepreneurs and it can happen to youunless you learn how  to be more than just an entrepreneur and more than just a leader.  In order to avoid their mistakes you need to walk the walk of an  Entrepreneurial Leader, right on the razors edge.  Being an Entrepreneurial Leader is more than just being an  entrepreneur plus leader.  Entrepreneurs have  certain needs, wants, and desires for their companies. But so do  the people who make up that enterprise. Its difficult for  founding entrepreneurs to make room for others thoughts,  concerns, opinions, and desires when it comes to their  babies. Why? Because entrepreneurship is a fundamentally  selfish act. You began your company because you wanted to be your  own boss. Most of your motivations for starting the business were  about you. And running a company in this mode of thinking  ultimately leads to failure. Leadership, on the other hand, is  about selflessness and making those around you feel they will be  successful. A leader can take a team of individuals with differing  wants, needs, and visions and get everyone on the same page. A  leader makes everyone feel like they are being heard, are  appreciated, and are winning.  But to be a successful entrepreneur, you cant just be the  selfless commander-in-chief. In order for you to be successful and  grow with your enterprise you must somehow balance the two opposing  natures of the entrepreneur and the leader. In Startup  Leadership entrepreneur and professor Derek Lidow describes the  narrow boundary between these two opposing domains and provides you  with the skills and tools to become an Entrepreneurial Leader.  Based on Lidows popular and well-respected class  Entrepreneurial Leadership, Startup Leadership distills  Lidows insights gained from his experience and others who  have struggled as entrepreneurs and leadersas well as from  extensive researchto present the best practices for growing  with the company you created.  It provides the tools needed to  avoid the unseen traps most entrepreneurs fall victim to and needed  to achieve the delicate balancing act that all Entrepreneurial  Leaders must perform in order to successfully lead their team,  enterprise, and themselves to lasting success.
