Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clayton M. Christensen, the author of such business classics as The Innovator’s Dilemma and the New York Times bestseller How Will You Measure Your Life, and co-authors Efosa Ojomo and Karen Dillon reveal why so many investments in economic development fail to generate sustainable prosperity, and offers a groundbreaking solution for true and lasting change. Global poverty is one of the world’s most vexing problems. For decades, we’ve assumed smart, well-intentioned people will eventually be able to change the economic trajectory of poor countries. From education to healthcare, infrastructure to eradicating corruption, too many solutions rely on trial and error. Essentially, the plan is often to identify areas that need help, flood them with resources, and hope to see change over time. But hope is not an effective strategy. Clayton M. Christensen and his co-authors reveal a paradox at the heart of our approach to solving poverty. While noble, our current solutions are not producing consistent results, and in some cases, have exacerbated the problem. At least twenty countries that have received billions of dollars’ worth of aid are poorer now. Applying the rigorous and theory-driven analysis he is known for, Christensen suggests a better way. The right kind of innovation not only builds companies—but also builds countries. The Prosperity Paradox identifies the limits of common economic development models, which tend to be top-down efforts, and offers a new framework for economic growth based on entrepreneurship and market-creating innovation. Christensen, Ojomo, and Dillon use successful examples from America’s own economic development, including Ford, Eastman Kodak, and Singer Sewing Machines, and shows how similar models have worked in other regions such as Japan, South Korea, Nigeria, Rwanda, India, Argentina, and Mexico. The ideas in this book will help companies desperate for real, long-term growth see actual, sustainable progress where they’ve failed before. But The Prosperity Paradox is more than a business book; it is a call to action for anyone who wants a fresh take for making the world a better and more prosperous place.

Download or read book Prosperity Planning God s Way written by Jacqueline Lawrence and published by . This book was released on 2006-03 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recognizing the fact that it is the "love" of money, and not money itself, that is the root of all evil, and that it is God who gives and takes away prosperity according to His will, an excellent tool for individual, as well as for small and large group study, PROSPERITY PLANNING GOD'S WAY shares God's priceless principles of prosperity so that every one of us can enjoy a bountiful harvest of ripe fruit from our labor! God expects His Children to build wealth so that we can distribute it to ourselves, our families, others, and for His kingdom. Unfortunately, although most of us want to prosper so that we can be free to live our lives the way we want to, many are not prosperous because they are not faithful to do things God's way with the little they now have. It is not enough, therefore, for us to want to prosper, we must plan for it by seeking God for His plans for our prosperity, by preparing ourselves for receiving it, and, through proper planning, by taking the appropriate steps necessary toward attaining and maintaining it. In order for us to have true prosperity, we must align our lives and our plans to prosper with those of Gods'. Then, as we gain more wealth, decrease our debt, save money with interest, and leave inheritances for our children and grandchildren, we are in a greater position to bless the kingdom of God by sharing some of the fruit of our harvest with others. A remarkable and comprehensive program, PROSPERITY PLANNING GOD'S WAY offers pertinent exercises which include relevant questionnaires, charts, checklists and forms to help you prepare and plan for- as well as to maintain- prosperity in your life so that you can bring in a fruitful harvest and be in position to share a wealth of your harvest with others. Dr. Jacqueline Lawrence, a Christian Counselor with over 25 years of experience with helping people to reach their goals, will guide you into prosperity in your proper season, with the help of the Holy Spirit, through these vital steps, which include: Ascertaining that your soil is fertile before planting your seeds Cultivating your land so that your seeds will fall on good ground Pulling up unwanted weeds from your orchard Identifying the kind(s) of seeds that God plans for you to plant Protecting your harvest from insects and wild animals that may devour your crop Documenting your progress by writing down visions for S.M.A.R.T. goals, collecting necessary data, summarizing data and regularly assessing your progress toward reaching your goals
Download or read book Busting the Financial Planning Lies written by Prosperity Economics Movement Staff and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2012-08-09 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is it possible that everything you have been told about building wealth is wrong? For decades, typical financial planning has sold itself on perpetuating a fundamental lie-that you can reach prosperity through its methods. But truly prosperous individuals don't follow typical financial planning. They know that most mainstream money advice is not intended to make you wealthy; it is intended to keep you from being poor. Big difference. And like any advice for the masses, it is geared toward the lowest common denominator. Busting the Financial Planning Lies strips away the myths surrounding money and charts a course toward true prosperity. This book is not for everyone-it is for those of you who sense there is a greater truth than what you hear on the typical cable TV money show or financial talk radio program. You want to zig when others zag. Among other things, this book challenges several popular money mantras: Your home is your best investment. Put as much money into your 401(k) as possible. The stock market can make you rich. Make extra payments toward your mortgage. Life insurance is something only beneficial in the event of your death. The time is now to decide whether you want to strategize for comfort or prosperity. This book will not only help you make that decision, but will reveal the atypical ways prosperity-minded people make their money work for them.

Book excerpt: Whether you’re in retirement, just getting ready to retire, or 5, 10, or 40 years out, this book can help you invest smarter your whole life and yes, plan better for retirement. Harmful mythology abounds about retirement investing. Many retirees or soon-to-be retirees have heard a plethora of advice. Take 100 (or 120) and subtract your age to get your equity allocation, put the rest in bonds or cash. Buy only bonds. Buy only high dividend stocks. Or some combination! Buy equity-indexed annuities or some “guaranteed” income product. All examples of a potentially harmful myth many folks believe to be smart, strategic moves. Investors believe preparing for retirement requires a radically different set of tools or a dizzying array of products. Navigating the world of retirement products and services can be a full-time job. But investing for retirement is, in practice, not much (if at all) different from investing. In Your Retirement Plan, Ken Fisher will give readers a workable strategy to either develop their own retirement investing plan or work more successfully with a professional to increase the likelihood of achieving long-term goals while avoiding common pitfalls. The book will include easy-to-follow steps like How to think, correctly, about investing time horizon. How to better figure how much income you need How to determine if a portfolio can provide that income How to figure how much to save each year to achieve retirement goals What pitfalls to avoid And more. . . . In this retirement planning book that's not just for retirees, Fisher will hand readers the tools and confidence they need to better plan for the future.

Equipped with practical tools and techniques, you will learn to manage your time in ways that glorify God and propel your ministry and business to new heights of success. Conclusion This e-book is a practical and inspiring guide for Christian business leaders seeking to reach new heights of success, guided by the eternal principles of God's Word.

Download or read book State of the World s Cities 2012 2013 written by Un Habitat and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-23 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The city is the home of prosperity. It is the place where human beings find satisfaction of basic needs and access to essential public goods. The city is also where ambitions, aspirations and other material and immaterial aspects of life are realized, providing contentment and happiness. It is a locus at which the prospects of prosperity and individual and collective well-being can be increased. However, when prosperity is restricted to some groups, when it is used to pursue specific interests, or when it is a justification for financial gains for the few to the detriment of the majority, the city becomes the arena where the right to shared prosperity is claimed and fought for. As people in the latter part of 2011 gathered in Cairo’s Tahrir Square, in Madrid’s Puerta del Sol, in front of London’s St Paul’s cathedral, or in New York’s Zuccotti Park, they were not only demanding more equality and inclusion; they were also expressing the need for prosperity to be shared across all segments of society. What this new edition of State of the World’s Cities shows is that prosperity for all has been compromised by a narrow focus on economic growth. UN-Habitat suggests a fresh approach to prosperity beyond the solely economic emphasis, including other vital dimensions such as quality of life, adequate infrastructures, equity and environmental sustainability. The Report proposes a new tool – the City Prosperity Index – together with a conceptual matrix, the Wheel of Prosperity, both of which are meant to assist decision makers to design clear policy interventions. The Report advocates for the need of cities to enhance the public realm, expand public goods and consolidate rights to the 'commons' for all as a way to expand prosperity. This comes in response to the observed trend of enclosing or restricting these goods and commons in enclaves of prosperity, or depleting them through unsustainable use. The Report maps out major policy steps to promote a new type of city – the city of the twenty-first century – that is a 'good', people-centred city. One that is capable of integrating the tangible and more intangible aspects of prosperity, and in the process shedding off the inefficient, unsustainable forms and functionalities of the city of the previous century. By doing this, UN-Habitat plays a pivotal role in ensuring that urban planning, legal, regulatory and institutional frameworks become instruments of prosperity and well-being.
Download or read book Instruments of Planning written by Rebecca Leshinsky and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-08-11 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Instruments of Planning: Tensions and Challenges for more Equitable and Sustainable Cities critically explores planning’s instrumentality to deliver important social and environmental outcomes in neoliberal planning landscapes. Because each instrument is unique and may be tailored to its own jurisdictional needs, Instruments of Planning is a compendium of case studies from urban regions in Australia, Canada, the United States and Europe, providing readers with a collection that critically challenges the role and potential of planning instruments and instrumentality across a range of contexts. Instruments of Planning captures the political, institutional, and economic challenges that confront planning. It examines planning instruments designed to assist with strategic planning and implementation, and considers the role that technology plays in unpacking and understanding complexity in planning. Written by Rebecca Leshinsky and Crystal Legacy of RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia, this book fills the gap in planning theory about the instrumentality of planning in the neoliberal urban context. It is essential reading for students, urban researchers, policy analysts and planning practitioners.
