The Executive Entrepreneur by Jim Stovall,Paula Marshall Pdf

Jim Stovall began his career in a broom closet lined with boat cushions. He went on to become the successful CEO of his Emmy Award winning company Narrative Television Network. Paula Marshall began working on the floor of her father's pie plant when she had nowhere else to turn to pay the bills and support her newborn daughter. She rose to the top of the organization, and though no one supposed she would be the successor, she took on the CEO role in 1985 and grew her family's company, The Bama Companies, to a $200 million organization. To what do they attribute to their success? The two have very different skill sets: Paula an executive and Jim an entrepreneur. What made the difference for them? As Jim says, "if you're not growin', you're dyin'." What is the key to growth? If you're an executive, it's important to find the entrepreneur within yourself and infuse your organization with new ideas and innovation. For an entrepreneur, it's critical to tap into your managerial side, learn to scale your company strategically and build a team to sustain your creativity. Paula and Jim provide the perfect compliments to the Executive Entrepreneur dichotomy, and their stories, told in tandem make an amazing and revolutionary learning tool for any businessperson.

Sell with Authority by Drew McLellan,Stephen Woessner Pdf

If your agency's future is tied to making stuff, then you're destined to be on a perpetual financial roller coaster. Someone will always make stuff less expensively than you can. We're entering the era of the authority. While you may already be sick of the phrase thought leader, the truth is there aren't that many of them in our industry. Thought leaders don't write content that any other agency could claim. Thought leaders don't write about anything and everything and thought leaders don't compete on price. And their time is now. Experts are afforded the highest level of confidence and trust because they have a depth of knowledge that can't be denied or easily replicated. Why wouldn't we capitalize on that, as opposed to writing generic marketing tip posts that look like every other agency's content? Agencies are at the cusp of a huge shift, and if you take full advantage now, you're going to be tough to catch. You can own an authority position that will future-proof your agency.
