Book The Bottom Line

Download or read book The Bottom Line written by Michael Contento and published by . This book was released on 2020-11-18 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bottom Line is the book that tells you how to become successful in life regardless of education level or how much you've messed up in the past. It helps readers develop the elemental skills of business, leadership, and life. This book is for: ▪ The high-powered executive made redundant by pandemic-inspired cost-cutting, now seeking a refresher course in what made her successful in the first place. ▪ The unemployed teen who aspires to become a wealthy entrepreneur but has no idea where to start. ▪ The recent graduate who just can't seem to find a job in the toughest employment climate in decades. ▪ The burnt-out manager who realized, during the lockdown, that she's dying to change careers, but who is overwhelmed by the challenge of starting over. Author Michael Contento knows it's possible for them, and you, to become successful because his story is less likely than anyone's. He didn't go to a fancy school. In fact, he didn't even finish high school. And yet, as the CEO of a fast-growing managed-services IT firm and a director on the national board of Big Brothers Big Sisters Canada, among many other ventures, he's successful by any measure. How did Michael go from being a problem for the boss, to running things for the boss, to being the boss, to owning the holding company that hired the boss? He followed a set of basic principles that can be used by anyone to achieve success. At the heart of this method is the concept of D2: Deliver simplicity, drive growth. Once you're done this book, D2 will guide every business interaction you have. But deliver simplicity isn't the only imperative required to achieve success. Among the fundamental principles that this book will deliver to readers are such insights as: Your time is too valuable for Game of Thrones. 2. Don't say "can't" to the boss. 3. Take the word "kiss-ass" out of your vocabulary. 4. Communicating is about what they hear, not what you say. 5. There's no such thing as a dead-end job. Finding success difficult to achieve in business, leadership and life? The problem isn't that you went to the wrong school or that you're not smart enough. Instead, the bottom line is that you need The Bottom Line-the primary elements required to win supporters, communicate your ideas, overcome obstacles and sell deals. Read this book-and you'll learn to deliver simplicity, achieve success, and never quit. For more resources and supplementary materials related to the book, visit deliversimplicity.ca.

I'll go through several simple strategies which are proven revenue-generators for any small business.

In fact, for many small business owners, marketing isn't producing any results for them at all, and their financial situation is growing more desperate by the day. As a business owner or entrepreneur, if you're struggling right now to generate more leads and clients for your business, and you need to find immediate ways to dramatically increase your business' bottom-line revenue, then spend the next few minutes reading this and I'll show you how we can help you make all of these problems disappear forever.

Book Dealing With the Tough Stuff

Download or read book Dealing With the Tough Stuff written by Margot Fraser and published by Berrett-Koehler Publishers. This book was released on 2009-11-09 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Your business plan is only going to get you so far. When you’re actually running a values-driven business problems come up that you never could have anticipated. And as a mission-driven organization you face issues your more conventional colleagues never have to grapple with. The whole experience can be incredibly isolating and draining. Margot Fraser and Lisa Lorimer have been there, and they’re here to help. Together with five of their colleagues—including Stonyfield Yogurt founder Gary Hirshberg and former Ms. Foundation president Marie C. Wilson—they offer the kinds of personal insights and seasoned advice you just can’t get in business school. It’s like having a coaching session with some of the nation’s top socially conscious entrepreneurs. Each chapter of Dealing with the Tough Stuff tackles a particular challenge. How open and honest can you really be with your employees and still run an efficient business? At what point do you seek outside expertise? What do you do when things go terribly wrong? When is it time to leave? The authors and the members of their “advisory board” share their experiences—not just what worked, but sometimes what spectacularly didn’t. Some of these stories are harrowing: a worker getting killed by factory equipment, a supplier embezzling funds, a false accusation of intellectual property theft. Others are simply day-to-day conundrums: meeting payroll when you’re always in debt, deciding when and how to expand in a responsible way, balancing business needs with your commitment to the triple bottom line. At the end of each chapter, Lorimer and Frasier draw on the stories to offer practical "survival suggestions" that can guide readers through similar situations. This is a book that readers can look to for affirmation, hope and tools. Others have been through what you’re going through, if not worse. They made it and so can you—because they’re going to show you how they did it. No book can cover every challenge that might arise, but if you learn from the attitudes, techniques and coping mechanisms these seasoned leaders offer, you’ll get through the tough stuff with your sanity and your business intact.
