Download or read book The Untold Story of the Entrepreneur s Wife written by Amy Stefanik and published by Morgan James Publishing. This book was released on 2018-11-06 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Untold Story of the Entrepreneur’s Wife guides entrepreneurial couples to permanently exit the “norm” and thrive in their new entrepreneurial lifestyle. When people talk about entrepreneurs, they always talk about the entrepreneur’s journey and their climb to the top with all of the pits and peaks that create their hero’s journey. But they rarely speak about the entrepreneur’s family and their efforts and struggles on the road to success. There is a false belief that says being with an entrepreneur is highly desirable and that being the wife of a business owner is glamorous and exciting. Sure, it has its perks. But the truth is, entrepreneurs’ wives are sometimes forced into a life of singularity and loneliness, and they are in need of a roadmap to navigate the unique hurdles that come along with that life. In The Untold Story of the Entrepreneur’s Wife, coach Amy Stefanik shows her perspective that being an entrepreneur’s wife is not all doom and gloom to entrepreneurial couples. Entrepreneurial families learn how to harness the Unmistakable Entrepreneur Mindset to lay the "Fort Knox" Entrepreneurial Family Foundation and build an Unshakable Entrepreneurial Marriage. The most valuable lessons are not discovered on the highest mountain peaks, in the good and easy times, but in the valleys. Amy shares her tools with entrepreneurial families for when they find themselves in the valley and helps them transform “married to the business” to “the secret weapon” to becoming an unstoppable entrepreneurial power couple!

Download or read book What You Do Is Who You Are written by Ben Horowitz and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2019-10-29 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ben Horowitz, a leading venture capitalist, modern management expert, and New York Times bestselling author, combines lessons both from history and from modern organizational practice with practical and often surprising advice to help executives build cultures that can weather both good and bad times. Ben Horowitz has long been fascinated by history, and particularly by how people behave differently than you’d expect. The time and circumstances in which they were raised often shapes them—yet a few leaders have managed to shape their times. In What You Do Is Who You Are, he turns his attention to a question crucial to every organization: how do you create and sustain the culture you want? To Horowitz, culture is how a company makes decisions. It is the set of assumptions employees use to resolve everyday problems: should I stay at the Red Roof Inn, or the Four Seasons? Should we discuss the color of this product for five minutes or thirty hours? If culture is not purposeful, it will be an accident or a mistake. What You Do Is Who You Are explains how to make your culture purposeful by spotlighting four models of leadership and culture-building—the leader of the only successful slave revolt, Haiti’s Toussaint Louverture; the Samurai, who ruled Japan for seven hundred years and shaped modern Japanese culture; Genghis Khan, who built the world’s largest empire; and Shaka Senghor, a man convicted of murder who ran the most formidable prison gang in the yard and ultimately transformed prison culture. Horowitz connects these leadership examples to modern case-studies, including how Louverture’s cultural techniques were applied (or should have been) by Reed Hastings at Netflix, Travis Kalanick at Uber, and Hillary Clinton, and how Genghis Khan’s vision of cultural inclusiveness has parallels in the work of Don Thompson, the first African-American CEO of McDonalds, and of Maggie Wilderotter, the CEO who led Frontier Communications. Horowitz then offers guidance to help any company understand its own strategy and build a successful culture. What You Do Is Who You Are is a journey through culture, from ancient to modern. Along the way, it answers a question fundamental to any organization: who are we? How do people talk about us when we’re not around? How do we treat our customers? Are we there for people in a pinch? Can we be trusted? Who you are is not the values you list on the wall. It’s not what you say in company-wide meeting. It’s not your marketing campaign. It’s not even what you believe. Who you are is what you do. This book aims to help you do the things you need to become the kind of leader you want to be—and others want to follow.
