Entrepreneurial Suicide by Khalil Abdul-Karim Pdf

Entrepreneurial Suicide()Khalil Abdul-KarimWhy are you not growing your business? Why are you generating the same amount of money each year? The answer is usually right in the mirror. This book challenges entrepreneurs and business owners to look within themselves and seek out what is preventing them from achieving continued success.The premise of this book is that the reader has already experienced some level of success as a business owner. Your business is profitable. You have a nice house. A couple of cars. And your family and friends respect you as a self-made, successful business owner. Let's say your business generates $5 million a year in revenue and you've been generating this amount for the past three years. Let's compare that to Corporate America and up the stakes so that the point hits home. If a CEO for a Fortune 500 company generated revenues of $50 million for three consecutive years, he or she would be fired. Reason being, zero profit. Therefore, the shareholders would be both disappointed and concerned. They would cite the CEO as being a poor manager and leader, resulting in dismissal.As a small-business owner, you don't have that much pressure. However, Entrepreneurial Suicide: The Birth, Life, and Death of a Business Owner helps to identify common traits within us that hold us back. Whether it be ego, emotion, poor communication skills, lack of drive, or poor decision-making skills, this book will help its reader uncover what the root problem is and how to overcome it.As the author, I have written this book based on over two decades of working with entrepreneurs and business owners, both as an entrepreneur and as a corporate professional. I have never understood how talented, well-educated, and self-educated people hold their own selves back. It's the most bizarre thing to watch. It is also what motivated me to write this book. To help kick start the process of looking in the mirror and breaking out of the self-destructive behaviors that are preventing you from reaching bigger and more rewarding goals.

The Family Business Suicide Prevention Guide by Dr Marc Dussault Pdf

First the Bad News: Family businesses make up the vast majority of the economy, yet their failure rates are just as high as non-family firms. The tragedy is that when a family business goes under, an entire family’s legacy is lost, often with traumatic consequences. Now for the Good News: Family business suicides CAN be prevented, but not without: 1. Identifying each of the many factors involved 2. Discovering the complexity of the context of your particular situation and 3. Understanding the dynamics of the people involved. Based on well documented and extensive academic research and more than 20 years of practical coaching and mentoring experience, this book will: - Highlight the key differentiators between corporate versus family firm succession processes – so you can better understand the scientifically established principles to improve the chance of success within your family firm. - Help you as the next generation heir ascend to the throne without wreaking havoc within your family – there is no point in saving the business if you destroy your family in the process! - Help guide you if you are a non-family member in a family-run firm – so you won’t feel helpless the next time a family issue spills over into the business. - Give you advice on transferring family ownership to outsiders – even though this might not be your first choice, it might be an unavoidable reality that requires you to be ready to transition properly if you are to maximise your exit strategy. - Help you avoid the most common mistakes and missteps that claim too many family firms. The suggestions and advice are based on cutting edge research combined with practical tips you can apply in your business immediately. The Only Cure for Family Business Suicide is Prevention: Admittedly, the book’s title is provocative. It was chosen in part to get you to pick it up off the bookshelf, but more importantly to bring much needed attention to an increasingly alarming problem - the preventable failure of family businesses. Family dynamics are messy, complex and complicated by the inclusion (and sometimes exclusion) of family members in the business. This book takes a uniquely different approach to reveal a multitude of perspectives to look at the various sources of conflict* involved so they can be identified, isolated and dealt with strategically, diplomatically and effectively. This thoroughly documented expose brings decades of academic research and literature to you, the small family business owner, in a format that is easy to digest with practical recommendations you can implement immediately. Sadly, many family businesses fail, not because their issues were insurmountable, but rather because they were unaware of the most common mistakes and how they could have been easily avoided. In the case of family business "suicide" - the only cure is prevention. This book is the first step in administering the cure, the vaccine against the infection that afflicts too many families and their businesses. * Suggestion from the author: Buy one book for each family member, to avoid conflict… Conflict prevention is the cure remember?

Success to Die for by Lynette Davis Pdf

Women are finally taking a seat at the proverbial table as startup founders, company presidents, C-suite executives, and the multiple role-playing small business owner - but at what cost? This truth-revealing and daring book reveals the hidden struggles involved with the pursuit of success among the chaos of workplace cultures fueled with blame, shame, microaggressions, and fear-based competitiveness. The text also shares how women leaders find ways to cope and thrive despite mental illness. Mental health peer advocate and writer Lynette Davis explores and exposes the personal narratives of female entrepreneurs and business owners. Success To Die For offers itself up as a caveat not only to change the game by adequately addressing the links between mental illness and entrepreneurship, but also to be an idea catalyst for suicide prevention through innovation in company ethics, policies, and procedures.

Success Or Suicide? by Wayde Greer Pdf

September 2017 to January 2018 was the absolute darkest time of my life. After nearly a decade of entrepreneurship, problem solving, and putting out fire after fire ... I finally broke. I can pinpoint the exact month, day, and minute my brain gave out on me. When my mind turned traitor. When the fog appeared. When the light burned out. When the panic set in. When I lost my laughter. When death seemed the only viable option. I was stuck. Stuck in my own head. A head telling me to do bad things, unspeakable things, with a brain that was malfunctioning and in full meltdown mode. I never thought this could happen to me; I always thought I could overcome any business problem simply by thinking positive, being creative, and working harder until things got better. Those strategies had always worked for me in the past. But this time was different. Unfortunately, depression is a common condition, especially amongst entrepreneurs. If my message helps even one person, it was worth the effort and vulnerability. Turns out, even the strongest people need to ask for help. There is no shame in it. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. It's not burned out, it's just temporarily obscured. Maybe you can't see it right now, but I promise: it's there. - WG

Businesses Don't Fail They Commit Suicide by Larry Mandelberg Pdf

Symptoms that Your Business May be About to Commit Suicide… Do constant disruptions and distractions make you feel like the business is managing you rather than you’re managing the business? Do the Board and senior managers disagree on major decisions? Is one department or department head the source of most problems? Is conflict within the leadership team undermining staff morale? If your business is suffering from any of the above problems then it’s time to do something about it. No business ever failed because they ran out of money. Most businesses fail because their success brings unfamiliar problems that leaders and managers do not know how to solve. Running out of money is simply a lagging indicator of prior bad decisions and a failure to anticipate change. This book shows you how to anticipate change, manage internal conflict, and leverage it to your advantage. With real-life stories that explore common situations, angst, and humor in ways that are understandable and insightful, Mandelberg delivers: The problems that come with success and how to manage them The infallible crystal ball that lets you see change coming before it’s too late Eight operational must-haves and how your organization ranks Exiting the 'whack-a-mole' cycle with problems that don't get fixed Turning change done unto you into change done unto others, and of course, Why businesses fail Based on over 40 years of experience and interviews with over 250 business leaders, Mandelberg explains how to avoid failure and build a strong, successful business that lasts.

Death by Meeting by Patrick M. Lencioni Pdf

A straightforward framework for creating engaging and exciting business meetings Casey McDaniel had never been so nervous in his life. In just ten minutes, The Meeting, as it would forever be known, would begin. Casey had every reason to believe that his performance over the next two hours would determine the fate of his career, his financial future, and the company he had built from scratch. “How could my life have unraveled so quickly?” he wondered. In his latest page-turning work of business fiction, best-selling author Patrick Lencioni provides readers with another powerful and thought-provoking book, this one centered around a cure for the most painful yet underestimated problem of modern business: bad meetings. And what he suggests is both simple and revolutionary. Casey McDaniel, the founder and CEO of Yip Software, is in the midst of a problem he created, but one he doesn’t know how to solve. And he doesn’t know where or who to turn to for advice. His staff can’t help him; they’re as dumbfounded as he is by their tortuous meetings. Then an unlikely advisor, Will Peterson, enters Casey’s world. When he proposes an unconventional, even radical, approach to solving the meeting problem, Casey is just desperate enough to listen. As in his other books, Lencioni provides a framework for his groundbreaking model, and makes it applicable to the real world. Death by Meeting is nothing short of a blueprint for leaders who want to eliminate waste and frustration among their teams and create environments of engagement and passion.

The Method Method by Eric Ryan,Adam Lowry,Lucas Conley Pdf

An inspiring case study for the next generation of start-ups by the unconventional founders of Method. Founded ten years ago by childhood pals Eric Ryan and Adam Lowry, Method has been making headlines and profits with a revolutionary blend of culture and commerce, style and substance. Today, Method's ecofriendly soaps, detergents, and cleaners are ubiquitous in stores, capturing valuable shelf space long dominated by the tired old products of giants P&G and Unilever. Ryan and Lowry obsess over seven principles at the heart of Method's business philosophy, including: *Kick Ass at Fast: Use small size to your advantage; by bringing innovations to market faster, you can stay out in front of larger rivals. *Inspire Advocates: Rather than getting caught up in costly battles for market share, foster deeper relationships with fewer customers in pursuit of greater wallet share. *Win on Product Experience: Beyond satisfying your customers' rational needs, design experiences for them. The Method Method is an irreverent, candid, firsthand case study. Readers will learn how today's consumers behave, how today's companies compete, and how both groups are acting together to drive profound global change.

Entrepreneurial Leadership by Angelo Mastrangelo Pdf

Real-life examples from the author's experience illuminate a step-by-step plan that can help entrepreneurial leaders achieve their goals. Entrepreneurial leaders are in need of a practical compass, and this book gives them just that. Combining principles of leadership and entrepreneurship, the guide covers basic concepts and pertinent issues for leaders at all levels and does so in a manner that is at once lively, relevant, and entertaining. Drawing on the best thinking from both business and academia, the book irrefutably demonstrates the connection between skilled leadership and organizational effectiveness and performance. Readers are provided with two easy-to-follow models that are applicable to all types of organizations. The Opportunity Model (Part I) shows exactly how to identify business-generating opportunities, while the Enduring Leadership Model (Part II) outlines the author's unique leadership principles, what he calls "Personal" and "Professional" Leadership. Used together, these two models give today's entrepreneurial leaders the real-life tools they need to succeed. To illustrate what works—and what doesn't—the author takes readers inside the highly volatile beverage industry and shares his greatest successes and failures running Adirondack Beverages, a company that still thrives today based on principles instilled more than 20 years ago.
