Download or read book The Pumpkin Plan written by Mike Michalowicz and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2012-07-05 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each year Americans start one million new businesses, nearly 80 percent of which fail within the first five years. Under such pressure to stay alive—let alone grow—it’s easy for entrepreneurs to get caught up in a never-ending cycle of “sell it—do it, sell it—do it” that leaves them exhausted, frustrated, and unable to get ahead no matter how hard they try. This is the exact situation Mike Michalowicz found himself in when he was trying to grow his first company. Although it was making steady money, there was never very much left over and he was chasing customers left and right, putting in twenty-eight-hour days, eight days a week. The punishing grind never let up. His company was alive but stunted, and he was barely breathing. That’s when he discovered an unlikely source of inspiration—pumpkin farmers. After reading an article about a local farmer who had dedicated his life to growing giant pumpkins, Michalowicz realized the same process could apply to growing a business. He tested the Pumpkin Plan on his own company and transformed it into a remarkable, multimillion-dollar industry leader. First he did it for himself. Then for others. And now you. So what is the Pumpkin Plan? Plant the right seeds: Don’t waste time doing a bunch of different things just to please your customers. Instead, identify the thing you do better than anyone else and focus all of your attention, money, and time on figuring out how to grow your company doing it. Weed out the losers: In a pumpkin patch small, rotten pumpkins stunt the growth of the robust, healthy ones. The same is true of customers. Figure out which customers add the most value and provide the best opportunities for sustained growth. Then ditch the worst of the worst. Nurture the winners: Once you figure out who your best customers are, blow their minds with care. Discover their unfulfilled needs, innovate to make their wishes come true, and overdeliver on every single promise. Full of stories of other successful entrepreneurs, The Pumpkin Plan guides you through unconventional strategies to help you build a truly profitable blue-ribbon company that is the best in its field.

Download or read book Waiting for the Great Pumpkin written by Charles Schulz and published by Fantagraphics Books. This book was released on 2014-09-17 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Linus and his wait for the Great Pumpkin have been a pop culture touchstone for nearly 50 years thanks to the animated television special ("I got a rock"), and it all started in the classic Peanuts strips (1959-1962) collected in this affordable, fun-sized gift book. Linus's proselytizing that on Halloween, the Great Pumpkin rises from the pumpkin patch and travels the world bringing presents to good little girls and boys are derided by his sister Lucy, laughed at by Charlie Brown, met with skepticism by baby Sally, and even causes "denominational squabbling" over who's better, the Great Pumpkin or Santa Claus. Year after year, Linus faces his persecution and inevitable disappointment with either blind faith or Quixotic perseverance. Charles M. Schulz's homage to the power of idealism and belief makes these some of the most beloved comic strips of all time.

Book excerpt: Summary about this story: "The Pumpkin's Secret" is an exciting story about two best friends, Mia and Leo, who go on an amazing Halloween journey. The couple loves their quiet neighborhood and is looking forward to October and all the fun things that come with Halloween, like making pumpkins. They don't know that this year will be different because a stunning secret will be hiding inside a normal pumpkin. They choose a pumpkin from Farmer Jenkins' pumpkin farm that looks like it has something bad in its stem. This marks the beginning of their trip. They have no idea that this pumpkin is more than just a strange puzzle wrapped in a gourd. Under a night sky full of stars, Mia and Leo start to carve their creation, a friendly scarecrow. They are surprised when a soft golden glow comes out of the pumpkin and reveals a secret doorway. They go into a world called Pumpkin Ville, which is all about pumpkins, with their hearts beating fast. Everything in Pumpkin Ville is made out of pumpkins, from people to houses to trees. Mia and Leo went on a trip that was unique and charming, which made them want to go on it. They dance with Pumpkin Jig, a lively pumpkin scarecrow, meet Jack, an old and wise pumpkin, who tells them stories about the past of Pumpkin Ville, and eat treats made by Pumpkin Pie, a beautiful pumpkin cook. One of the most shocking things they found was that the pumpkin they had carved back home had come to life in Pumpkin Ville and was ready to go on adventures with them. Mia and Leo are very interested in Pumpkin Ville, but they miss their houses and families. They ask their friendly guide, Pumpkin Pops, to help them find their way back with sad hearts. They follow Pumpkin Pops through a pumpkin tunnel that sparkles and takes them and their magical friend back home. They are thrilled by their amazing journey and the fact that they have found a magical world under a simple pumpkin. Still, this is not the end of their story. Mia and Leo keep carving pumpkins for Halloween in the hopes that they will meet someone else amazing. Mia and Leo remember the lessons they learned in Pumpkin Ville as they grow up and become kind, caring people. Their pumpkins are a reminder that just beyond the ordinary, there might be something amazing waiting to be found in the world of "The Pumpkin's Secret." They also act as goodwill ambassadors in their community, spreading cheer, kindness, and the magic of Halloween all year long. Their story shows how selflessness, and the power of honest wishes can change the world, leaving a legacy of love and kindness. Their pumpkins have stood the test of time, which is a sign of how strong their friendship is and how much they want to make the world a better place. They also believe that there is always room for extraordinary opportunities every day. The touching story of Mia and Leo is a gentle reminder that the real magic of life can be found in acts of kindness, the comfort of friendship, and the power of sincere wishes. The story starts out like this: Before there was anything, there were two best friends named Mia and Leo. They lived in a small, beautiful area with tall trees and rolling hills. The kind of friendship that made everyone feel warm and fuzzy who saw it was famous. Leo and Mia were the best of friends. They laughed and did things together all the time. Mia's chestnut hair moved in the wind like fall leaves, and Leo's blue eyes looked like he was up to no good. With each passing season, their bond grew stronger, but it wasn't until Halloween, the best day of the year, that their hearts really came to life. The whole neighborhood was buzzing with excitement in the weeks before the scary holiday. Every house had ghosts and pumpkins on the porch, and the kids were busy making their costumes. But for Mia and Leo, Halloween was more than just a day; it was a season and a wonderful trip that was yet to come. As October began, the air was filled with a certain kind of excitement. The red and gold trees told secrets to anyone who would listen, and the smell of falling leaves could be smelled in the cool autumn breeze. During that time, the world seemed to slow down, so Mia and Leo could really enjoy the season they both loved. A trip to Farmer Jenkins' pumpkin patch was something that everyone looked forward to every year. A Halloween treasure trove was hidden away on this nice piece of land on the edge of their town. As far as the eye could see, there were rows and rows of orange pumpkins that were waiting for their big moment. There, dreams grew, and imaginations ran wild, and Mia and Leo couldn't wait to find the right pumpkin. As they walked through the pumpkin patch, their fingers would touch the rough, bumpy skins of the gourds. Their hearts were full of wonder, and they had big smiles on their faces. When they found pumpkins with strange shapes, they would laugh and think of the stories they could tell. When they thought they had found "the one," they would see another pumpkin a few rows down that was even more beautiful. This year was different, though. Mia and Leo were looking at the rows of orange balls when they noticed one that caught their eye and seemed to be talking to them. It wasn't the biggest or roundest, but there was something interesting about it. Its skin was a deep orange color, and its stem was bent in a funny way, as if it was hiding something important. Mia yelled, "This one!" with the excitement that only Halloween can bring out in a kid, and the two of them rolled the chosen pumpkin toward the checkout line, rustling leaves and making a lot of noise as they went. Farmer Jenkins, a friendly man with a white beard so thick that Santa Claus would be jealous, smiled at them. Even though he had seen many kids choose pumpkins over the years, Mia and Leo's picks stood out. "That's a special one you've got there, kids," he said, referring to a magical world. Mia and Leo tried to get Farmer Jenkins to tell them more, but he just ignored them with a strange grin. Mia and Leo got together in their garden that night as the sun went down below the horizon and turned the sky orange and purple. They got out their carving tools and started carving the pumpkin they had picked. As they skillfully drew a friendly skeleton on it, they thought about how it would look when it was done. As Leo cut into the pumpkin, the moon cast a soft white shimmer over their work. But then, as if it were being pushed by something else, a bright light shot out of the pumpkin's cut. It gave Mia and Leo a warm, alluring glow that made their faces flush. As they looked into the glowing middle of the pumpkin, they gasped in surprise. They were surprised to see a shimmering opening that looked like a window to another world and drew them in by saying they would have an adventure there. They decided to take a risk without thinking twice because they were very interested. Through the portal, they ran away together from their safe neighborhood and garden. They had no idea that the magic in a simple pumpkin would change their lives in such a big way. On the other side of the portal, the world of Pumpkin Ville was waiting to be discovered. It was outside of the realm of fantasy. That's where Halloween really came to life. Every building, tree, and even animal was made out of pumpkins, and each one was brighter and more interesting than the last. As they walked down streets lined with pumpkins, their eyes grew wide with wonder, and their carved faces lit up with smiles. Pumpkin Pops, a happy pumpkin man with a bright orange smile, says that Pumpkin Ville is a beautiful place where pumpkins enjoy Halloween all year long. They were happy to take him up on his offer to lead them. Their trip was full of interesting things they found and new people they met. Pumpkin Jig, a colorful scarecrow who was very good at spinning, joined them in the dance. Jack, a sage-colored pumpkin with a carved face, told them stories about the history of Pumpkin Ville to keep them busy. And they ate the tasty pumpkin treats that Pumpkin Pie, a nice pumpkin chef, had made. Mia and Leo were most excited about how their own pumpkin, which they had made, changed back into their own world. It had also come to life. It was smiling and jumping around, eager to go on adventures with them. Mia and Leo had a good time in Pumpkin Ville, but they knew that their time there was short. They missed their homes, their families, and the places they were used to. They went up to Pumpkin Pops with sad hearts and asked him to help them use the portal to get back home. They found a pumpkin portal that, if they follow Pumpkin Pops, will take them back to their land. They had tears in their eyes as they said goodbye to their new friends, knowing that they would always remember their amazing trip. Mia and Leo went back to their quiet neighborhood and looked at the pumpkin they had carved with smiles on their faces. From their past experiences, they knew that magic can be found in the strangest places, even in the middle of a pumpkin. Mia and Leo continued to carve pumpkins every October because it was a tradition for them. They were sure that something special was hiding beneath the ordinary. Their memories of Pumpkin Ville stayed with them, showing how strong their friendship was and how magical Halloween was. As time went on, Mia and Leo's Halloween traditions became something they looked forward to every year. As they got older, they let other people hang out with them. On cool fall nights, they told wide-eyed kid’s stories about their wonderful trip to Pumpkin Ville. As they carved more and more pumpkins, each with its own story, their love for Halloween grew. As they got older, they learned to appreciate the beauty of the season and became known in their neighborhood as Halloween fans who could turn their small house into a haunted wonderland that could compete with the scariest haunted houses. Still, every Halloween there was a small chance that they would find another great pumpkin. They understood that magic could be found again every time they carved a pumpkin, and not just on a single trip. As the sun went down in the yard on a cool October evening, Mia and Leo began to work on a very complicated pumpkin design. It was a glimpse of a kind spirit, whose ghostly form twisted and spun like strands of smoke. As Leo carefully carved the ghost's face, something wonderful happened again. The pumpkin shined like it did on that night when they were kids and something bad happened. From inside, a soft golden glow filled the air with joy and longing. Leo and Mia gave each other sly looks. They both knew that magic was calling them back. As they reached out to touch the burning pumpkin, they let out a lot of air. Its surface was warm and welcoming, luring them into the shimmering portal that suddenly appeared in front of them. They didn't think twice before taking each other's hands and walking into the unknown. When they came out to the other side, they found out they were in a part of Pumpkin Ville that had never been seen before. This was the Pumpkin Patch of Wishes in Pumpkin Ville, where pumpkins got bigger and stronger. Every pumpkin had a special ability: it could make wishes come true. Wanda, a beautiful pumpkin fairy with a sparkle in her eye, was there to meet them. She told Leo and Mia about the cool things about this special patch and gave them the chance to make a wish, but it had to be true and good for everyone.
