This book was released on 2021-01-30 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive guide for Over-50 entrepreneurs starting a business in 2021, even if they've never owned a business before. In a knowledge-based economy, "KNOWLEDGE" is the indispensable ingredient that transcends all industries to separate winners from losers. Fifteen Critical Insights For Business Owners Over Fifty is knowledge on steroids. Let's be honest. The "new normal" in the workplace started long before COVID-19. Mass downsizing started in the late '90s. Over 91,500 factories and six million US manufacturing jobs were lost to globalization and outsourcing. According to Forbes, 39,200 brick-and-mortar stores shut down. AI robots are now collecting bridge tolls, cleaning hotel floors, driving trucks, performing medical analysis, and picking stocks on Wall Street. Humans have been told to go home. Over-50 workers know the score. They (along with their big salaries, health benefits, and retirement packages) are at the top of the list to go home too. What is the solution? What can over-50 wage-earners do? The solution is simple: Find an unmet need. Meet the unmet need. Get paid for meeting the unmet need. Although the solution is simple, the execution is highly complex, full of pitfalls and booby traps, and according to the SBA, plagued by a failure rate of roughly 60%. Without the proper guidance, chances are, you're going to fail. FIFTEEN CRITICAL INSIGHTS FOR BUSINESS OWNERS OVER FIFTY is the game-changer that gives you a fighting chance. In this book you discover: How you, as a long-time wage-earner, must FIRST transform your mind. (Everything, absolutely everything having to do with decoupling from petty corporate politics and boss-pleasing activities, starts inside your head.) How your perceived disadvantages associated with age are really powerful advantages over younger competitors. (SBA stats say you have the upper hand.) How your subconscious is a brilliant, beautiful mechanism for failure. (For the sake of your success, happiness, wholeness, and healing, your subconscious will tell you a lie.) How your most trustworthy advisors have misled you about debt. How the entire marketplace is NOT open to your exploration. (Your work experiences, personality traits, and core competencies prohibit many market opportunities that others might find compatible.) How centuries of human evolution may cause your spouse to rebel against your entrepreneurial inclinations. How treating people the way Steve Jobs treated people will drive your new business into the ground. Truth is Knowledge that Empowers You... Columbus didn't discover America. There were no weapons of mass destruction. There are more than eight planets in our solar system. AND… You are NOT too old, too cash-strapped, too technology-deficient to start a successful business. Time to reset for the new normal. Let's GO!!! If you want critical, game-changing insight to start your business, click the add to cart button now.

Your "over-50" thinking must change. Without hiring a $300-an-hour psychoanalyst or digging up Carl Jung from the grave, we will break the restrictive bonds of your subconscious mind, peel away the lifelong layers of compromise, and allow your personality traits, work experience, and core competencies to embrace a compatible business niche ... Truth Will Empower You... Columbus didn't discover America. There were no weapons of mass destruction. There are more than eight planets in our solar system. AND...

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Mutual Co Operative and Co Owned Business written by Jonathan Michie and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-03-23 with total page 705 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford Handbook of Mutuals and Co-Owned Business investigates all types of 'member owned' organizations, whether consumer co-operatives, agricultural and producer co-operatives, worker co-operatives, mutual building societies, friendly societies, credit unions, solidarity organizations, mutual insurance companies, or employee-owned companies. Such organizations can be owned by their consumers, the producers, or the employees - whether through single-stakeholder or multi-stakeholder ownership. This complex set of organizations is named differently across countries: from 'mutual' in the UK, to 'solidarity cooperatives' in Latin America. In some countries, such organizations are not even officially recognized and thus lack a specific denomination. For the sake of clarity, this Handbook will refer to member-owned organizations to encompass the variety of non-investor-owned organizations, and in the national case study chapters the terms used will be those most widely employed in that country. These alternative corporate forms have emerged in a variety of economic sectors in almost all advanced economies since the time of the industrial revolution and the development of capitalism, through the subsequent creation and dominance of the limited liability company. Until recently, these organizations were generally regarded as a rather marginal component of the economy. However, over the past few years, member-owned organizations have come to be seen in some countries, at least, as potentially attractive in light of their ability to tackle various economic and social concerns, and their relative resilience during the financial and economic crises of 2007-2013.

Download or read book Staged Seduction written by Akiko Takeyama and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2016-03-09 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the host clubs of Tokyo's Kabuki-chō red-light district, ambitious young men seek their fortunes by selling love, romance, companionship, and sometimes sex to female consumers for exorbitant sums of money. Staged Seduction reveals a world where all intimacies and feigned feelings are fair game for the hosts who employ feathered bangs, polished nails, fine European suits, and the sensitivity of the finest salesmen to create a fantasy for wealthy women seeking an escape from the everyday. Akiko Takeyama's investigation of this beguiling underground "love business" provides an intimate window into Japanese host clubs and the lives of hosts, clients, club owners, and managers. The club is a place where fantasies are pursued and the art of seduction isn't merely about romance; a complex set of transactions emerges. Like a casino of love, the host club is a site of desperation, aspiration, and hope, in which both hosts and clients are eager to roll the dice. Takeyama reveals the aspirational mode not only of the host club, but also of a Japanese society built on the commercialization of aspiration, seducing its citizens out of the present and into a future where hopes and dreams are imaginable—and billions of dollars can be made.

Book excerpt: Is your business looking out? The world today is drowning in data.

Tomorrow's most successful brands are already embracing Outside Insight, benefitting from an information advantage while their competition is left behind. Drawing on practical examples of transformative, data-led decisions made by brands like Apple, Facebook, Barack Obama and many more, in Outside Insight, Meltwater CEO Jorn Lyseggen illustrates the future of corporate decision-making and offers a detailed plan for business leaders to implement Outside Insight thinking into their company mindset and processes.

Download or read book The Regulatory Aftermath of the Global Financial Crisis written by Eilís Ferran and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2012-11-15 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The EU and the US responded to the global financial crisis by changing the rules for the functioning of financial services and markets and by establishing new oversight bodies. With the US Dodd–Frank Act and numerous EU regulations and directives now in place, this book provides a timely and thoughtful explanation of the key elements of the new regimes in both regions, of the political processes which shaped their content and of their practical impact. Insights from areas such as economics, political science and financial history elucidate the significance of the reforms. Australia's resilience during the financial crisis, which contrasted sharply with the severe problems that were experienced in the EU and the US, is also examined. The comparison between the performances of these major economies in a period of such extreme stress tells us much about the complex regulatory and economic ecosystems of which financial markets are a part.

Download or read book Disrupted written by Dan Lyons and published by Hachette Books. This book was released on 2016-04-05 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An instant New York Times bestseller, Dan Lyons' "hysterical" (Recode) memoir, hailed by the Los Angeles Times as "the best book about Silicon Valley," takes readers inside the maddening world of fad-chasing venture capitalists, sales bros, social climbers, and sociopaths at today's tech startups. For twenty-five years Dan Lyons was a magazine writer at the top of his profession--until one Friday morning when he received a phone call: Poof. His job no longer existed. "I think they just want to hire younger people," his boss at Newsweek told him. Fifty years old and with a wife and two young kids, Dan was, in a word, screwed. Then an idea hit. Dan had long reported on Silicon Valley and the tech explosion. Why not join it? HubSpot, a Boston start-up, was flush with $100 million in venture capital. They offered Dan a pile of stock options for the vague role of "marketing fellow." What could go wrong? HubSpotters were true believers: They were making the world a better place ... by selling email spam. The office vibe was frat house meets cult compound: The party began at four thirty on Friday and lasted well into the night; "shower pods" became hook-up dens; a push-up club met at noon in the lobby, while nearby, in the "content factory," Nerf gun fights raged. Groups went on "walking meetings," and Dan's absentee boss sent cryptic emails about employees who had "graduated" (read: been fired). In the middle of all this was Dan, exactly twice the age of the average HubSpot employee, and literally old enough to be the father of most of his co-workers, sitting at his desk on his bouncy-ball "chair."
