  Burn the boats

  The term ‘burn your boats’ comes from a lesson in History going way back to the 1500’s where a Spanish expedition to conquer Mexico saw the Spanish army’s leader burn the boats they had arrived on. He realised that so long as his men knew there was a chance of retreat, they would never be able to put in 100% of their effort towards conquering the new land. He gave them no choice. Once they knew there was no way out, the men worked harder than ever to conquer the Aztec empire. The men knew that there was no alternative, the bridges or in this case, the boats had certainly been burned. This is actually where the phrase ‘burn your boats’ came from, when you know that the only thing holding you back is the knowledge that if you don’t put all your effort into something, you’ll kind of still be okay, enough to put up with it at least. 
  I’ve seen plenty of people approach this stupidly though, quitting their jobs to start businesses rather than starting the business on the side, in their spare time while they save up enough capital to branch out on their own. I’ve seen people invest all of their life savings in one single investment opportunity which failed miserably when a bit of extra research or diversification could have prevented their massive fall. I’ve seen people take massive risks simply because they don’t want to have to plan or prepare or wait or be patient. The trick here is to create a healthy balance between risk and achievement, its dangerous betting it all on black because you may loose it all, but if you don’t bet at all playing it safe you will never gain anything so the key here is to weight the options and create a balance. 
  You will be able to get more of an idea as to how exactly to find that balance within this book.

  There has been a flurry of thought leadership over the last few years. More and more business owners are striving to get noticed and writing a non-fiction book has become the tool of choice.  
  Coaches, consultants, trainers, therapists, speakers and other experts are becoming wise to the benefits that a book can give them and their business.   
  But things have changed hugely in the last ten years. It’s not enough to just write a book anymore. 
  Too many authors are jumping on the bandwagon but are not achieving the results they expected. They struggle to sell their book, reach the right audience, and grow their business from it. 
  As we move into a new decade, if you want to write and publish a book that sells you and your business, it’s time to do things a different way. 
  It’s time for you to become an AUTHORITY.  
  Bestselling author and Book Mentor, Karen Williams wrote her first book in 2009, and she starts this book by focusing on what’s changed in the last ten years. She explores publishing trends, why getting a publishing deal isn’t the only way and how this can be detrimental to your success. She considers the fact that despite the growth in technology, it has become increasingly difficult to get heard.  
  With experience of writing and publishing six of her own books and having helped dozens of clients with theirs, she has developed her 10 Authority Principles. From planning your book to choosing the right team, and writing tips to marketing must-knows, she’ll show you the best way to approach your book, so that it becomes more than an expensive business card.

  You started a business. But why? 
  Entrepreneurs often lose sight of what matters. Are you helping people? Are they happy? Are you happy? Are you profitable? Isn't that enough? 
  Derek Sivers accidentally started a business by helping musicians sell their music. It became the largest online seller of independent music with over 150,000 musicians and $100M in sales. After ten years, he sold the company for $22 million and gave all the money to charity. 
  In “Anything You Want” he shares 40 powerful lessons, in two hour listen. Points include:When you make a company, you make your utopia — your perfect world.Business is not about money. It’s about making dreams come true for others and for yourself.Starting with no money is an advantage. You don’t need money to start helping people.Your business plan is moot. You don’t know what people really want until you launch.Don’t pursue business just for your own gain. Only answer the calls for help. 
  The book’s most memorable stories are from his horrible mistakes, like why saving ten minutes cost him $3.3 million dollars, and how he was attacked by Steve Jobs. 
  “Anything You Want” was first published by Seth Godin in 2011, then by Penguin/Portfolio in 2015. This third edition for 2022 was improved with eight new chapters. 
  Its surprisingly humanist approach to business, focusing on generosity and happiness more than profits, has helped thousands of entrepreneurs to re-focus on what matters and find their own path to success.

  When you have taken this class, you will understand the similarities and differences between traditional product management and scrum product ownership. In order to develop a product from original concept to working model, many factors must be taken into consideration. Clients and stakeholders might have a clear idea of what they want and when they want it. In such cases, it is the product owner's responsibility to clarify all of the details and enable the development team to generate the final product as quickly and inexpensively as possible. If the client and stakeholders are not as certain about what it is that they want, the product owner has the added responsibilities of helping them to figure out what they want and articulating this to the developers. In each segment of a development project the roles and responsibilities of product managers and product owners differ substantially. In each class, we will examine a component of product development and identify the different ways that these two roles approach them. In this class you will learn: An overview of the two product development methods How to manage requirements as a product owner as opposed to a traditional product manager How to plan a project as a product owner versus a traditional product manager How to schedule a project as a product owner as opposed to a traditional product manager Common methods for budgeting a project as a product owner versus that of a traditional product manager Tips for becoming a product owner in your team or business Now, let us move forward and let me help you to learn the differences between a traditional product manager and a scrum product owner.
