Download or read book Who s Got Your Back written by Garold L. Markle and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2024-08-02 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking a small business and making it larger can pose formidable challenges. The entrepreneur’s dream is to create a product or service so highly desired that customers will form lines at their door, eager to hand them money. The entrepreneur’s nightmare is the same...except that there is no one to answer the door, provide the service, deliver the product, or take the money. In short, growth can be hard and even success can kill you. My friends at Vistage, by most measures, the largest educational institution for small and mid-cap CEOs in the world, describe this inherently risky but highly rewarding journey to reach the top of Entrepreneur Mountain as “a life of climb.” The need to make a small business larger is instinctual, even as the very real dangers in making that ascent are predictable. Like scaling a mountain, there are inevitable challenges, losses, and victories along the upward trail. This business fable is written for those who elect to take this journey, despite the dangers, and to the many more who support it. Who’s Got Your Back? describes the best way I’ve witnessed to climb – with a trusted guide who’s made ascents before, a peer group of noncompeting fellow leaders to question your answers, and some carefully curated experts on topics climbers don’t always know in advance they need to learn from. In short, this business fable is my “love letter to Vistage” and its contemporaries who have successfully shepherded this climb for decades and stand ready to help you be safe and successful on yours. About the Author Garold L.

None of us can do it alone. We need the perspective and advice of a trusted team. And in Who’s Got Your Back, Keith Ferrazzi shows us how to put our own “dream team” together.
Download or read book Shades of the Moon written by Eric James and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2008-06-28 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The move from the City to the Suburbs was a huge change, even though I was young when it happened. People in the suburbs were a lot different than the city and we as kids thought it was paradise. Boy were we wrong. Most people in this town are fake, corrupted, selfish, and overall ASSHOLES, in my opinion. A lot of politics I wont get into but you might see some of it. From the time I turned seventeen, to about twenty two, Ive gone threw some pretty interesting experiences. My life entailed robbing, stealing, fighting, drugs & drug dealing, alcohol, women, kidnapping, sports, and of course fighting. Ive had my ups and downs, arrested eleven times but never locked up, so I guess Im pretty lucky, or have a very good lawyer; just had a few over nighters in a holding cell. My family is very close and we chill together all the time. Id do anything for them, some not for me, but thats just the way they are. I guess they call me the crazy one, but honestly, every family needs someone like me. From my tales to tell, overall I wouldnt take any of it back. I love my life and how I lived it. I feel my past was lived to the fullest and my crew thugged it out for years. I know that most of the trouble I got into was because of the choices I made, and even then I knew that it was the wrong path to take, but I just didnt care. While these adventures where happening, I knew my life would be change for the better once I finished school and landed a good set job. Though it seemed like it took forever, I finally did finish school and became full time at the position Id been working at for a few years. That is when my life started. I enjoyed being young and dumb, as they say, but now its time to grow up and become a man. Ive gone through plenty of friends over the years, some lost due to changes schools or choosing different cliques in school, others lost on bad terms; sometimes I knew why and others I didnt understand. I lost a couple very close best friends and also gained new ones. Life is a struggle, I struggled through it but was able to surpass. I got through the tough times, enjoyed the memorable times, and here are my stories to tell. This book will deliver my resume of an uncontrolled substance that almost ruined my life. The rage and power I absorbed through fisting a persons face brought happiness to me. Every true street fighter will tell you theyve gotten their ass kicked at least once in their life, and probably didnt like it. I on the other hand loved it. The more I got hit the more aggressive I became, trying to destroy anything in my path. It became so much of an addiction that I looked for it all the time and even threw down with my own brother. I loved to fight and was pretty good at it but it almost got me killed a few times. My stories here are all true, but some names may have been altered for confidentiality purposes. In no way am I trying to disrespect anyone, past or present, because its a story about my life but a lot of others are involved as well. Overall, I have been in over fifty legit street fights, mostly in a five year range and these are the main tales. Other than fighting and the mischief Im actually a really nice person and a great athlete. My whole life has been based around sports and my entire family is athletes, including the girls. Though I pursued a sports career I still found myself living the Hip Hop lifestyle, which made me the person I am today. I speak mostly of the bad experiences rather than the good because everyone has their good moments and the awful times are the juiciest. I give a lot of credit to my parents for putting up with me all these years and I know what theyve done for me and I really do appreciate it. They are the best parents any kid can ever ask for, and to put them through what I did was a horrible thing to do, so Im truly sorry. Like the saying goes, what doesnt kill you only makes you stronger, I guess Im
Download or read book Got Your Back written by Louise Pepper and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011-04 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In creation of Cook Books for Borscht & Beyond, Book O'Beans, to be followed by Much Muffins, and finally the Novels I started to write, I got side tracked by the wonderful world outside. It brought to mind a time when my young son and I would make up stories about our surroundings for our amusement to pass idle hours away. In this process we were known to give a humanistic life to all manner of things, from vehicles to animals. Upon witnessing the opening event of Casey rescuing Sidney, I was back in time recalling the joy of the story creation, my imagination would add a phase every time I looked out and saw another happening. I decided this would be fun to share with children and their parents and perhaps open their minds to the wonders readily surrounding them. Life is always fascinating if you give it a chance, not always high tech. It is a privilege to have friends that will help you in your times of concern. So the creation of "Got Your Back!" is about caring and sharing, the best things one can do. The characters are fictitious, the lives are very real. Happy Reading, May your minds run free to creation.

Download or read book Work Won t Love You Back written by Sarah Jaffe and published by Bold Type Books. This book was released on 2021-01-26 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A deeply-reported examination of why "doing what you love" is a recipe for exploitation, creating a new tyranny of work in which we cheerily acquiesce to doing jobs that take over our lives. You're told that if you "do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life." Whether it's working for "exposure" and "experience," or enduring poor treatment in the name of "being part of the family," all employees are pushed to make sacrifices for the privilege of being able to do what we love. In Work Won't Love You Back, Sarah Jaffe, a preeminent voice on labor, inequality, and social movements, examines this "labor of love" myth—the idea that certain work is not really work, and therefore should be done out of passion instead of pay. Told through the lives and experiences of workers in various industries—from the unpaid intern, to the overworked teacher, to the nonprofit worker and even the professional athlete—Jaffe reveals how all of us have been tricked into buying into a new tyranny of work. As Jaffe argues, understanding the trap of the labor of love will empower us to work less and demand what our work is worth. And once freed from those binds, we can finally figure out what actually gives us joy, pleasure, and satisfaction.

Normally, Asher would be amused by his son’s matchmaking efforts. But this time, Jace has struck a nerve. It would be all too easy for Asher to fall for the unaffected, straight-talking brunette who has become his son’s nanny; all too easy for Marnie to mean too much. But the millionaire from Atlanta will consider no further investments of the heart—no matter how sweet the payoff might be. . . .
