Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seth Goldman, cofounder and TeaEO of Honest Tea, the fast-growing pioneer of organic brews favored by discerning tea lovers including President Barack Obama, shared the advice that has shaped his company and career: Never lose control of your company’s money, whether you’re spending it or raising it. And run your business as if you are going to own it forever. I got lots of bad advice as I was building Honest Tea. Luckily, I was smart enough not to take most of it. Among the worst nonstarters: Add more sugar (which would have undone one key factor that made us stand out). Rebrand Honest Tea as a low-carb company. (Those low-carb diets, with people eating bacon three times a day, have little appeal for our health-conscious clients.) Sell energy drinks. (There was almost zero overlap of energy-drink buyers with our core customers.) Any of those ideas would probably have wrecked the company. But fortunately, we benefited from two wonderfully wise advisers--Gary Hirshberg, cofounder of Stonyfield, and Jeff Swartz, CEO of Timberland. Their counsel shaped my company, my career, and my life. They preached two core rules: Never lose control of your company’s money, both incoming and outgoing, and run the business as if you plan to own it forever.

Download or read book Clearing the Mind for Creativity written by John Kao and published by Pearson Education. This book was released on 2010-02-01 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Kao learned a lot about creativity and innovation during his years teaching at the Harvard Business School and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Media Lab but also as a serial entrepreneur, psychiatrist, movie producer, and jazz pianist. He wrote about the topic in Jamming--The Art and Discipline of Business Creativity, a BusinessWeek bestseller that has been published in more than a dozen languages. Now, he’s distilling what he knows into a series of brief, practical guides. The topic of this one is how to clear the mind to make way for creativity and the great ideas that follow. Come with me to Harvard. My classroom is like many others at the business school. The setting is casual and comfortable, yet conducive to drama. I lower the lights and ask my students to shut their eyes. “Picture yourself in five years,” I tell them. “Are you alone or with another person? Where do you live? Where do you work? What are you doing right now? What do you smell? What do you taste? Touch the object nearest you. What do you feel?” My students smile. I know what they are experiencing. They are playing parts in a mental performance. Initially, they are surprised by what they are imagining, but soon they are engrossed. One is walking through Washington’s corridors of power. Another is climbing an Alpine rock face. Another is standing in the Shanghai Stock Exchange. After five minutes or so, I turn up the lights and ask how they feel. They are energized, emotional, inspired....

Download or read book Why I m Buying Gold written by Dean LeBaron and published by Pearson Education. This book was released on 2010-02-01 with total page 10 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The value of gold doesn’t depend on banks or governments keeping their word. In fact, the more they fail, the more gold is worth. And now, with public faith in the system dribbling away, gold is becoming one of the last safe havens. Also, the global financial crisis is far from over. It could topple into either inflation or deflation. Holding a strong position in gold is a good strategy in either case. I hope I’m wrong. Because, if I’m right, it will be bad news for the global economy and for all of us--even for those of you who buy gold. You’ll do better than people who don’t, but no one will come out well. As JFK never said, a falling tide lowers all boats. Yes, I said buy gold--that relic of the days before paper currencies and central banks. It’s faintly ridiculous to hold gold; you have to be one of those nuts carrying a sign: “The End of the World Is Nigh!” Gold doesn’t finance companies or build economies: It just sits there. But remember, the economic world did nearly end in 2008. No one knows how close we came to the point where no one would accept anyone else’s checks, or foreign currencies, or even dollars except at a huge discount. Fortunately, the U.S. government’s extreme moves saved the day--but we’re not safe yet. At times like these, gold becomes king.
Download or read book Keeping It Honest From Kitchen to Coca Cola written by Seth Goldman and published by Pearson Education. This book was released on 2010-02-01 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seth Goldman, cofounder and TeaEO of Honest Tea, America’s leading organic bottled tea maker (favored by President Barack Obama) analyzes his decision to make a game-changing deal with Coca-Cola. Can a fast-growing, organic start-up connect with a corporate giant and retain its own soul? Here’s what you can learn from his experience. In the world of start-ups, there are two kinds of entrepreneurs. One founds a business in order to sell it early and get richer quicker. The other establishes a brand and nurtures it. I am the nurturing type. My goal has always been to make the Honest Tea brand stand for authentic, healthy, organic products; a brand that customers trust and love. My partner, Barry Nalebuff, and I knew that we wanted to build a company with staying power, and that to do so, we’d have to keep control of the enterprise. Then, once we were ready to take it to the next level, we did our best to structure an arrangement where we could keep Honest Tea, well, honest. In essence, that’s our story. But as with any good story, there have been many twists and turns along the way.
Download or read book Mission Drift written by Peter Greer and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2014-02-10 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Christianity Today 2015 Book Award Winner Is your organization in danger of Mission Drift? Without careful attention, faith-based organizations drift from their founding mission. It's that simple. It will happen. Slowly, silently, and with little fanfare, organizations routinely drift from their purpose, and many never return to their original intent. Harvard and the YMCA are among those that no longer embrace the Christian principles on which they were founded. But they didn't drift off course overnight. Drift often happens in small and subtle ways. Left unchecked, it eventually becomes significant. Yet Mission Drift is not inevitable. Organizations such as Compassion International and InterVarsity have exhibited intentional, long-term commitment to Christ. Why do so many organizations--including churches--wander from their mission, while others remain Mission True? Can drift be prevented? In Mission Drift, HOPE International executives Peter Greer and Chris Horst tackle these questions. They show how to determine whether your organization is in danger of drift, and they share the results of their research into Mission True and Mission Untrue organizations. Even if your organization is Mission True now, it's wise to look for ways to inoculate yourself against drift. You'll discover what you can do to prevent drift or get back on track and how to protect what matters most. "No organization is exempt from the danger of drifting away from its original mission. In Mission Drift, Peter and Chris provide solid guidance for remaining laser-focused on core values--from the board level to daily organizational culture. This book is a timely message for any organization working hard to remain Mission True." --Wess Stafford, president-emeritus, Compassion International "Peter Greer and Chris Horst have identified one of the deepest challenges any leader faces: how to ensure that an organization stays true to its mission, especially when that mission becomes countercultural." --Andy Crouch, executive editor, Christianity Today "Essential reading for twenty-first-century believers if we are to gain new vision, unity, and strength. Mission Drift is spine straightening, mind clearing, and courage inspiring. This book is true-north wisdom for leaders--and a gift of hope for the world God loves." --Kelly Monroe Kullberg, founder, The Veritas Forum and author, Finding God Beyond Harvard "Many of us in leadership have learned--often painfully--that our mission needs to be built into every aspect of our organization, from leadership to receptionist, from hiring to implementation. We can't afford not to follow the lessons in this valuable book." --Richard Stearns, president, World Vision U.S. and author, The Hole in Our Gospel "Keeping an eternal perspective is essential in our work. Mission Drift gives a clear message inspiring and challenging us to intentionally keep Christ at the center of all efforts." --David Green, founder and CEO, Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc. "Written with clarity, boldness, and urgency, the authors provide insight into and examples of the causes and solutions to drift using the stories of real organizations...A must-read! Recommend this book to every business and church leader."--CBA Retailers+Resources "This book is a must-read for leaders, easy to read, practical, engaging and inspirational. The principals outlined not only apply to major corporations, but also to any organization, church and even to one's own personal life. Mission Drift . . . will be well worth the effort and time, and you will find yourself wanting to begin implementing what you've learned to safeguard your organization from drifting away from its mission."--Foursquare.org
Download or read book Let the Nations be Glad written by John Piper and published by Inter-Varsity Press. This book was released on 2020-05-21 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Mission is not the ultimate goal of the church. Worship is. Missions exist because worship doesn't. Worship is ultimate.' John Piper's contemporary classic draws on key biblical texts to demonstrate that worship is the ultimate goal of the church and that proper worship fuels missionary outreach. Piper offers a biblical defence of God's supremacy in all things, providing a sound theological foundation for missions. He examines whether Jesus is the only way to salvation and issues a passionate plea for God-centredness in the missionary enterprise, seeking to define the scope of the task and the means for reaching 'all nations'. Let the Nations Be Glad! is a trusted resource for missionaries, pastors, church leaders, youth workers, seminary students, and all who want to connect their labours to God's global purposes. This third edition has been revised and expanded throughout and includes new material on the 'prosperity gospel'.

Download or read book Think written by John Piper and published by Inter-Varsity Press. This book was released on 2013-04-23 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book to help Christians to think about thinking. Focusing on the life of the mind helps us to know God better, love him more, and care for the world. Along with an emphasis on emotions and the experience of God, we also need to practise careful thinking about God. Piper contends that 'thinking is indispensable on the path to passion for God'. So how are we to maintain a healthy balance of mind and heart, thinking and feeling? Piper urges us to think for the glory of God. He demonstrates from Scripture that glorifying God with our minds and hearts is not either-or, but both-and. Thinking carefully about God fuels passion and affections for God. Likewise, Christ-exalting emotion leads to disciplined thinking. Readers will be reminded that 'the mind serves to know the truth that fuels the fires of the heart'.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Online retailer Zappos has put having fun at the heart of its public image and corporate culture. That, along with a smart, ever-evolving business plan anchored in superlative customer service, has made it one of the rarest of business phenomena--an enterprise that thrives by breaking nearly every rule of retailing, online and off. Here’s how they did it--and you can, too. Whenever he meets someone, Tony Hsieh asks whether the person has ever shopped at Zappos.com, the online shoe store he heads. One day, Hsieh’s question triggered a harangue. The man’s wife had spent $60,000 in one year on Zappos. “I should pay you to remove [her] name from your database,” he said. Hsieh was inspired. Soon afterward, he announced that his shoe store would offer a “Cease and Desist” service. For the modest sum of $50,000, Zappos would agree to permanently disable the account of a wife, husband, or significant other. No one has accepted that tongue-in-cheek offer. But the whole caper was of a piece with a company that has put having fun at the heart of its public image and corporate culture. That, along with a smart, ever-evolving business plan anchored in superlative customer service, has made Zappos one of the rarest of business phenomena--an enterprise that thrives by breaking nearly every rule of retailing, online and off.
