  This is a book about reality  an unpleasant reality that no  one seems to want to address:  A large number of the  population was hit with substantial loss to their income, savings,  and even jobs due to the economic collapse of recent years.   Many feel that they are doomed with no way to build back up their  savings in order to one day retire comfortably and securely, or  that there just isn't enough time to work and save enough to return  to that point.           Fortunately, there is an upside.   This book was written for people who refuse to accept  business as usual.  To be fair, these concepts are not for  everybody.  Many have become so demoralized by their  circumstances and so distrustful of the system, that they feel  physically immobilized and emotionally incapable of turning their  lives around.  That's unfortunate because there is one thing  about which we are irrevocably convinced - it's never too late if  you are still above ground.  The authors of this book explain to readers how to build a  successful network marketing business.  They discuss the  correct ventures to seek out, and how to know which ones should be  avoided.  It is divided into these four sections to help  readers immediately achieve their goals:      How to Thrive as an Entrepreneur      How to Select the Right Company      How to Build a Networking Business      How to Avoid Landmines and Cowpies

  Get in Gear - The Seven Gears...

  Only 10% to 25% of organizations get it right when it comes to achieving the expected results from their strategic planning. This means 75% to 90% of them are leaving results on the table and wasting their time on things that don't matter. Almost a decade ago, a major steel manufacturer approached Sean Ryan and his team to help them think through how to better convert strategy to results. This was the catalyst for the seven gears that translate strategy to results found in Strategy-Execution-Results (SXR™).Why Gears? Gears transmit energy. The more aligned they are and the less friction in their chain, the better they function. Leaders can easily identify the gear creating the most friction and then take action to better align that gear with the strategy generating better results. This creates momentum to improve the alignment and performance of other gears. This approach also emphasizes the ways everyone in the organization has some influence over every gear. Based on Sean Ryan's consulting and training with organizations from start-ups to the Fortune 100, he's found that these performance gears drive better results. In this book, you'll employ them to align your goals with your strategy, create visible scorecards to know whether or not you're on track, and identify the critical behaviors and actions that will drive performance.

  Bridging the Values Gap - How...

  Bridging the Values Gap  
  Business has a values problem. It's not just spectacular public scandals like Enron (which, incidentally, had a great corporate values statement). Many companies fail to live up to the standards they set for themselves, alienating the public and leaving employees cynical and disengaged—resulting in lower productivity, less innovation, and sometimes outright corruption.  
  The reason, argue top scholars and consultants Edward Freeman and Ellen Auster, is that all too often values are handed down from on high, with little employee input, discussion, or connection to the challenges and opportunities facing the organization. Although the words may be well-intentioned, they aren't reflected in the everyday practices, policies, and processes of the organization. This practically invites disconnects between intention and reality.  
  To bridge this gap between the “talk” and the “walk”, Freeman and Auster provide a process through which organizations can collectively surface deeply held values that truly resonate with everyone, from top to bottom. Their Values Through Conversation (VTC) process focuses on four key types of values conversations: introspective (reflecting on ourselves and how we do things in the organization), historical (exploring our understanding of our past and how it impacts us), connectedness (creating a strong community where we work well together), and aspirational (sharing our hopes and dreams).  
  By developing values through discussions—casual or formal, one-on-one or in groups—VTC ensures that values are dynamic and evolving, not static words on a wall or a website. Freeman and Auster offer advice, real-world examples, and sample questions to help you create values that are authentic and embraced because they are rooted in the lived experience of the organization.

  Celebrating Failure is the definitive how-to manual for leaders seeking to embrace the power of failure as a learning tool to improve their organizations and achieve ever-greater goals. The business world (and, lately, the political arena) is convinced that the number one topic is change. Heath posits that it might well be failure, because if you do it right, failure can become a launching pad for change.Heath contends that “positive failures” are not only necessary steps on the path to success, but encourage greater freedom to take risks in pursuit of one's life goals. This counter-intuitive but powerful title includes:Engaging stories of real-life business and personal failure experiences.Practical steps to apply each chapter's “lessons” and change your approach to risk-taking and failure.Positive, effective ways to eliminate the “fear of failure” that can hold you back in today's competitive, fast-changing world.Heath's insightful stories lay out his own failures and reveal his human side as a son, father, athlete, and business leader.
