Download or read book Pithy Business Quotes written by Bud Carter and published by . This book was released on 2016-01-01 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bud Carter's fascination with quotes likely started when he was an award-winning radio news editor, then a TV anchorman, and ultimately the publisher/editor of an issues and business weekly newspaper. After he moved to Atlanta, he was recruited to become Vistage's first Chairman and began collecting the "salient snippets" shared by the speakers appearing before his groups. Since the 1987 start-up, Carter and his groups have heard more than 1,000 speaker presentations, and he has now published twelve editions of their pithy quotes.Carter and his wife reside in suburban Atlanta where he serves on a number of boards including (no surprise here) that of the Reporter Newspaper chain. Carter professes a passion for baseball and jazz, strives for mediocrity on the racquetball court, and says he has spent a lifetime in pursuit of the perfect barbecue. And more pithy quotes.

Download or read book Zero to One written by Peter Thiel and published by Crown Currency. This book was released on 2014-09-16 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “This book delivers completely new and refreshing ideas on how to create value in the world.”—Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta “Peter Thiel has built multiple breakthrough companies, and Zero to One shows how.”—Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX and Tesla The great secret of our time is that there are still uncharted frontiers to explore and new inventions to create. In Zero to One, legendary entrepreneur and investor Peter Thiel shows how we can find singular ways to create those new things. Thiel begins with the contrarian premise that we live in an age of technological stagnation, even if we’re too distracted by shiny mobile devices to notice. Information technology has improved rapidly, but there is no reason why progress should be limited to computers or Silicon Valley. Progress can be achieved in any industry or area of business. It comes from the most important skill that every leader must master: learning to think for yourself. Doing what someone else already knows how to do takes the world from 1 to n, adding more of something familiar. But when you do something new, you go from 0 to 1. The next Bill Gates will not build an operating system. The next Larry Page or Sergey Brin won’t make a search engine. Tomorrow’s champions will not win by competing ruthlessly in today’s marketplace. They will escape competition altogether, because their businesses will be unique. Zero to One presents at once an optimistic view of the future of progress in America and a new way of thinking about innovation: it starts by learning to ask the questions that lead you to find value in unexpected places.
