His fame as an NBA star gave him access to some of the most successful business leaders in the country. It was Earvin’s own entrepreneurial spirit that inspired them to serve as his mentors. Earvin made the transition from great athlete to greater entrepreneur through hard work and by avidly pursuing opportunities. He recognized that densely populated urban communities were ripe for commercial and residential development. He partnered with major brands like Starbucks, 24 Hour Fitness, and T.G.I. Friday’s to lead a major economic push in these communities. The success of his businesses proved that ethnically diverse urban residents would welcome and support major brands if given the opportunity.

Book excerpt: **A Forbes Best Business Book of the Year, 2015** **Winner of the 2015 800-CEO-READ Business Book Award in Entrepreneurship** When columnist Paul Downs was approached by The New York Times to write for their “You’re the Boss” blog, he had been running his custom furniture business for twenty-four years strong. or mostly strong. Now, in his first book, Downs paints an honest portrait of a real business, with a real boss, a real set of employees, and the real challenges they face. Fresh out of college in 1986, Downs opened his first business, a small company that builds custom furniture. In 1987, he hired his first employee. That’s when things got complicated. As his enterprise began to grow, he had to learn about management, cash flow, taxes, and so much more. But despite any obstacles, Downs always remained keenly aware that every small business, no matter the product it makes or the service it provides, starts with people. He writes with tremendous insight about hiring employees, providing motivation to get the best out of them, and the difficult decisions he’s made to let some of them go. Downs also looks outward, to his dealings with vendors and to providing each client with exemplary customer service from first sales pitch to final delivery. With honesty and conviction, he tells the true story behind building and sustaining a successful company in an ever-evolving economy, often airing his own failures and shortcomings to reveal the difficulties that arise from being a boss and a businessperson. Countless employees have told the story of their experience with managers—Boss Life tells the other side of that story.

Download or read book Small Business Magic written by Don Dewsnap and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Small Business Magic introduces small business owners and managers to the single most powerful element of success: quality. Working from basic truths, and building on inarguable logic, Small Business Magic explains the three Major Principles of Quality and the four Applied Principles of Quality. Twelve Quality Actions follow, which can be applied individually or in combination. The hallmarks of Small Business Magic are clarity of explanations and ease of understanding. Any small business owner or manager can apply these principles and actions to their business immediately, and begin to see results right away. They are practical, sensible, and doable. Whether their business is already successful or still struggling, any small business owner can use the principles of quality to propel their business to the next echelon. As stated on page 18, "There are no upper limits on growth of a business." Every facet of a business is involved in its success, and the principles of quality address all of them. The author, Don Dewsnap, has spent over thirty years developing, refining, writing about, teaching, and using the principles of quality in Small Business Magic, with uniform, usually astonishing, success. He built his typesetting company from nothing to over a million dollars in annual sales (in 2009 dollars) in less than seven years while developing the principles of quality. Since then, almost every business he has worked with has seen sharp growth, usually doubling, within a year. (The two exceptions were resistant to the idea of changing anything, much less improving it.) In short, these principles have been tested in the heat of the business world, and have passed with flying colors. Small Business Magic belongs on the bookshelf or bedside table of every small business owner or manager in America. It is one of those books which can be read over and over, giving more from each reading. And when you come right down to it, how can increasing quality be anything but a good thing, when it rewards everyone involved?
