For most of human history, the hero has been held up as a role model-a symbol of something better that young men and women could aspire to. Somewhere over the course of the last century, it became unfashionable to be a hero-to be better than the rest. Shameless, perfect heroes were abandoned in favor of gritty, flawed antiheroes. Forging your own path is now considered less important than assimilating with the crowd. The results have not been encouraging. We still need heroes, just as we always have. More than ever, we need those who are willing to do what needs to be done and stand up for what's right. For those bold enough to strive for the heroic life, entrepreneur and best-selling author Alan Knott-Craig offers the wisdom and advice of heroes past and present. Heroes do still exist, because heroism doesn't concern itself with popular thought or social trends. Heroism is about sacrifice, courage, humility, and a willingness to make the world a better place. It's not an easy road-but it's a rewarding one for those brave enough to overcome adversity and strive for more than merely existing.

Once you’ve recognized their drive and passion, how do you set your little trailblazers free?

Highlighting the various achievements of innovators from a wide range of cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds—such as Geek Squad’s Robert Stephens and Nantucket Nectars' Tom Scott, nonprofit founders like Mama Hope’s Nyla Rodgers and Pencils of Promise's Adam Braun, profit for purpose creators like TOMS Shoes' Blake Mycoskie and FEED Projects’ Ellen Gustafson, activists like Mike de la Rocha and Erica Ford, and artists like actress Emmanuelle Chriqui and songwriter Benny Blanco—and with photos of the entrepreneurs as children, these inspirational interviews will provide guidance and support on nurturing your own change maker. Not every kid will be an entrepreneur, but all kids have something that makes them unique. If you’re seeking a way to nurture your children’s passions and help them harness their talent, drive, and grit into a fulfilling life purpose, this book is for you. With these ten rules and numerous inspiring stories, you’ll gain confidence in raising your child into a creatively successful adult.

Kennedy debunks twenty treasured maxims to show would-be millionaires that the techniques they thought were helping them are actually holding them back.A successful entrepreneur and highly sought-after motivational speaker, Kennedy writes in a brisk, no-nonsense style to show how the advice of so-called ?experts? run against the experience of most successful people. The first rule of success, he argues, is to throw out all the other rules.For instance:? Forget just about everything you were ever told about positive thinking. Optimism is helpful, but blind optimism is just plain stupid. Identify and plan for every possible objection or setback that could come your way or be prepared to be thrown for some real loops.? The customer is not always right. Make an effort to understand people?s dissatisfaction, but a pain in the neck is a waste of time. Be prepared to ?fire? customers who are never satisfied and concentrate on those you can make happy.? Forget about creativity. Plain, ordinary ideas make people rich every day, as long as they are willing to work very, very hard at the run-of-the-mill things they do.Full of anecdotes about people who defied convention, this energetic, plain-talking guide offers practical, hands-on advice to help you become a successful entrepreneur.

Download or read book The Entrepreneur in Rule Based Economics written by Georg D. Blind and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-11-20 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together three areas of interest: the rule-based approach, the entrepreneur, and Japan as an empirical application. It highlights the advantages of the rule-based approach for economic analysis by linking different methodological underpinnings. Using these, the author exemplifies how rule-based economics allows a systematic analysis of the entrepreneur as the key figure in bringing about economic change and diversity. The book includes an empirical methodology for applied research in rule-based economics, which it puts to the test in an empirical study of entrepreneurship in contemporary Japan. The choice of entrepreneurship and Japan showcases the integrative power that rule-based economics brings to further breaking a theoretical deadlock and to analytically capturing a very particular economy investigated very little so far. By offering a body of new and original research, the monograph shows how the idea of entrepreneurship as a rule helps to resolve the Schumpeter-Kirzner divide and to develop an empirical approach to the determinants of entrepreneurial activity.
