How to Love Your Business by Nicole Lewis-Keeber Pdf

What does it mean to have a business that you love and that loves you back?As a business therapist, Nicole sees business owners and entrepreneurs every day who are stressed out by their businesses feel alone, unsupported and overwhelmed by their schedules. No one drops their personal baggage at the door when they start a business. In fact, starting a business means entering into a relationship, just like a friendship or romance. And just like in human-to-human relationships, if we don't set clear boundaries, and work to practice them mindfully, we're bound to default into toxic behaviors from our past. In other words, we bring our emotional challenges into our businesses with us, and when we ignore this, we get in trouble. In this book, Nicole shares her story of how she almost gave up on her business and dreams when she realized that she had created a business that was demanding and demeaning instead of loving and supportive. If you had trauma in your childhood it will impact all your relationships-and that includes the relationship that you're building with your business. We recreate patterns that we grow up with because they feel familiar and because we've been taught to compartmentalize our lives and drop our "baggage" at the door when we go to the office or start a business. There's no room for emotions, vulnerability, or mental health problems when it comes to workplaces. But the truth is, you will get more out of your business if you integrate all parts of yourself.Based on her experience of over 18-plus years as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and therapist, as well as her completion of Brené Brown's The Daring Way(TM) and Dare To Lead(TM) methodologies, Nicole outlines a process to redefine the relationship you have with your business. She'll walk you through how to identify your values so you know when you're in and out of integrity; craft an authentic mission and vision statement; make space for your business; create the boundaries needed for you and your business to thrive; love your inner critic; examine your relationship with money and create an Emotional Sustainability Plan that will act as a compass to help you make aligned daily decisions about your business. All of this so you can make more money, feel more connected to your business and clients as well as have a business that is emotionally sustainable.

The Business Case for Love by Marc Cox Pdf

Love it? Hate it? Or, just don’t care? How we feel about something dramatically affects how we interact with it. When we feel, we care. When we care, things happen. Companies that are thriving, not just surviving, are much more than a set of ruthlessly efficient and mechanistic processes – they are a social system operated by people for people. The quality of relationships, both inside and outside the organization is a far more important driver of sustainable success or failure than the quality of its control systems. The head is important, but it is the heart that matters most. If you want your customers to be brand ambassadors and your employees to brag about you to their friends, you need them to not just think you’re great – you need them to feel you’re great. You need them to love you – and for that, you need them to feel that you love them. For over a decade Marc Cox has been helping companies whose toxic cultures, miserable employees, and angry customers have all but destroyed them to rebuild their company spirit, discover the business case for love and build an organization that is wonderful to work for, brilliant to do business with and has the mindset of creating memorable employee and customer experiences. Underpinned by fresh insights and perspectives, robustly tested and refined by the real world experience of working with a wide range of companies and over 2,000 senior executives drawn from all parts of the world, and filled with fascinating and illustrative “love stories” the book will help you to make the business case for love. It will help you to find a more rewarding and invigorating way of working – both emotionally and financially. In short, it shows what happens when the love is put back into business.

From the bestselling author of The Radical Leap and Greater Than Yourself comes the first book to directly address love as a hard-core business principle that generates measurable results It’s time to toss aside the touchy-feely notions of love in business and acknowledge the real power that it holds. Love is not only appropriate in the context of business, it’s the foundation of great leadership. To put it bluntly: love is just damn good business.

Love as a Business Strategy by Mohammad F Anwar,Frank E Danna,Jeffrey F Ma Pdf

To increase revenue, improve customer experience, and develop higher-performing teams, it's time for leaders to stop looking for quick fixes to complex business problems and start building a culture of love. Yes, love. Anchored by Softway's own transformational journey, Love as a Business Strategy offers a new, people-first framework for achieving any business outcome-written by folks that aren't fans of run-of-the-mill business books. As a matter of fact, Love as a Business Strategy is so chock-full of real-world examples of mistakes, heartbreak, and redemption that it reads more like a juicy exposé than a business book. Love as a Business Strategy steers clear from piety and theoretical concepts and instead shares grounded stories of resilient people running a real business. A business, as you'll come to find out, that was on the brink of disaster before 'love' took hold. Love As A Business Strategy doesn't preach or mislead, rather it lays out the blueprints for better business outcomes-like better employee engagement, enhanced patient experiences, and increased efficiency-then walks you through it step-by-step. A better way of doing business is possible. The workplace revolution has arrived. Love as a Business Strategy will help you ditch the status quo, embrace humanity, and achieve lasting success.

Loving Your Business: Rethink Your Relationship with Your Company and Make it Work for You by Debbie King Pdf

Remember when you used to love your business? In some ways, you still do. But it can also feel like a trap. No matter what you try, your business can't run without you and it doesn't scale. It can be frustrating. Overwhelming. Exhausting. But you can't just walk away. You're committed to what you've created, have clients and staff you care about, and you don't want to work for someone else. Debbie King knows what it's like to feel trapped by a business you used to love. She felt that way for years before she made two fundamental shifts: she changed the way she thought about her business and the way she ran it. In Loving Your Business, Debbie shows you how to rethink your relationship with your business and reclaim your life. Instead of taking everything from you, your business can give you what you really want: more time, a sense of purpose, and ultimately, complete financial freedom. Learn how to leverage your brain and manage your mind so that you turn your company into a scalable asset that can run without you. That's a business you'll love owning (and other people will too). In fact, that's a business you can even sell when you're ready.

Lovability by Brian de Haaff Pdf

Love is the surprising emotion that company builders cannot afford to ignore. Genuine, heartfelt devotion and loyalty from customers — yes, love — is what propels a select few companies ahead. Think about the products and companies that you really care about and how they make you feel. You do not merely likethose products, you adore them. Consider your own emotions and a key insight is revealed: Love is central to business. Nobody talks about it, but it is obvious in hindsight. Lovability: How to Build a Business That People Love and Be Happy Doing It shares what Silicon Valley-based author and Aha! CEO Brian de Haaff knows from a career of founding successful technology companies and creating award-winning products. He reveals the secret to the phenomenal growth of Aha! and the engine that powers lasting customer devotion — a set of principles that he pioneered and named The Responsive Method. Lovability provides valuable lessons and actionable steps for product and company builders everywhere, including: • Why you should rethink everything you know about building a business • What a product really is • The magic of finding what your customers truly desire • How to turn business strategy and product roadmaps into customer love • Why you should chase company value, not valuation • Surveys to measure your company’s lovability Brian de Haaff has spent the last 20 years focused on business strategy, product management, and bringing disruptive technologies to market. And in preparation for writing this book, he interviewed well-known startup founders, product managers, executives, and CEOs at hundreds of name brand and agile organizations. Their experiences, along with headline-grabbing case studies (both inspiring successes and cautionary tales), will help readers discover how to build something that matters. Much has been written about how entrepreneurs build innovative products and successful businesses, but the author's message is original and refreshing. He convincingly explains that there is a better path forward — a people-first way grounded in love. In a business world that has increasingly emphasized hype over substance and get-big-at-any-cost thinking over profitable and sustainable growth, it's time for a new recipe for company success. ​Insightful, thought-provoking, and sometimes controversial, Lovability is the book that you turn to when you know there has to be a better way.

How To Fall Back In Love With Your Business by Adrian Peck Pdf

The Entrepreneur’s Journey: A few years ago you started your business, either on your own or with a business partner(s). There’s a high chance that you come from a technical background and are good at what you do. You started your own business with great plans and, for a number of years, it has grown well, based on your sheer determination, hard work and passion. In time you have managed to get it over the £1m turnover ‘mountain’ and you’ve taken on employees. So what’s next? And this is where you've got stuck. The growth of your business has now slowed down, has plateaued or dropped back. Since you started the business has changed considerably, and you’ve changed with it. When you started out you had a dream about how your life was going to pan out, all the things you were going to do. But the greatest challenge to you now is TIME. Where does it go to? You start every week with great gusto, determined you’re going to smash that to-do list; Before you know it, BAM! It’s Friday again. As the months roll by you are more worn down and frustrated. Yes, there are some highs but it’s not what you really want, and you know you can achieve so much more. You start to look overly forward to weekends and holidays and, before long, you’ve become an employee. You have lost sight of the reason you started the business, and in the words of Bob Geldof, you "Don't like Mondays". Life is starting to feel a bit like Groundhog Day: every week is filled with unwanted noise and, before you know it, it’s the weekend again. You have started to become bored, easily distracted, disinterested and have lost your mojo. If you haven’t already, or you have, but not quite realised that you have, you will start to fall out of love with your business. You have started to fall out of love with your business. How do you know? You’ve lost the passion and drive you once felt. You’re bored and easily distracted. You blame the industry, the economy, your competitors or anyone else. You’re frustrated and stressed. But there’s something else lurking deep inside…The Fear of Failure. Without knowing it you’ve also developed a fear of failure. You’re worried that you have built your business this far and, if you try to change it, it could all come tumbling down and you will lose everything. So, the best thing to do is to bury your head in the sand and ‘pretend/hope/kid yourself’ something magical will happen, and it will change. How can I fall back in love with my business? You are not alone. All your feelings, challenges and fears are a normal part of the Entrepreneur’s Journey and shared across most £1m-plus growing businesses. Your strength now is to recognise the traits and signs mentioned above and do something about it. By reading and implementing the principles that I’m going to share with you in this book, your business will be easier and more enjoyable to manage. Through focus, better utilisation of your team, and by doing the things you enjoy, you’ll achieve the aspirational results you desire and fall back in love with your business. Real results drive wealth and, in turn, you will start to live the dream that your hard work deserves. It’s time to stop procrastinating. “Only sh#t happens, everything else you have to make happen.” The Seven Steps to SECCESS® Strategy – Enjoy the journey, it’s more important than the destination. Empowerment – You'll only achieve exceptional results through effective teamwork. Control Panel – Know what you want, measure, assess and drive performance. Cash – Your primary goal must focus on generating real cash. Efficiency – Get more for less through constant review and utilisation of technology.

Mother Hunger by Kelly McDaniel Pdf

An insatiable need for sex and love. Periods of overeating or starving. A pattern of unstable and painful relationships. Does this sound painfully familiar? Trauma counselor Kelly McDaniel has seen these traits over and over in clients who feel trapped in cycles of harmful behaviors-and are unable to stop. Many of us find ourselves stuck in unhealthy habits simply because we don't see a better way. With Mother Hunger, McDaniel helps women break the cycle of destructive behavior by taking a fresh look at childhood trauma and its lasting impact. In doing so, she destigmatizes the shame that comes with being under-mothered and misdiagnosed. McDaniel offers a healing path with powerful tools that include therapeutic interventions and lifestyle changes in service to healthy relationships. The constant search for mother love can be a lifelong emotional burden, but healing begins with knowing and naming what we are missing. McDaniel is the first clinician to identify Mother Hunger, which demystifies the search for love and provides the compass that each woman needs to end the struggle with achy, lonely emptiness, and come home to herself.

The Radical Leap by Steve Farber Pdf

A new, tenth anniversary edition of the leadership classic that was hailed as one of the 100 Best Business Books of All Time. In his exciting and timeless business parable, The Radical Leap, Steve Farber explores an entirely new leadership model, one in which leaders aren't afraid to take risks, make mistakes in front of employees, or actively solicit employee feedback. His book dispenses with the typical, tired notions of what it means to be a leader. Farber's modern parable begins on a sunny California beach where he has a strange and unexpected encounter with a surfer named Edg. Despite his unassuming appearance, the enigmatic Edg seems to know an awful lot about leadership and this brief interaction propels Steve into an unforgettable journey. Along the way, he learns about Extreme Leadership--and what it means to take the Radical Leap: Cultivate Love Generate Energy Inspire Audacity Provide Proof Geared to people at any level who aspire to change things for the better, The Radical Leap is creating legions of Extreme Leaders in business, education, non-profits and beyond.

Love-Based Copywriting Method by Michele PW (Pariza Wacek) Pdf

The book that started a movement! Do you hate the way sales and marketing copy makes you feel? Sales-y? Inauthentic? Hype-y? Just plain icky? You're not alone ... and there's a reason you feel that way. It's because traditional sales and marketing copy (also known as direct response copy) sells by tapping into fear. But you don't have to use fear – you can sell and market your business using love instead. And when you do that, you stop manipulating and twisting arms to get buyers, and instead start attracting, inspiring and inviting your ideal clients into your business. Ahhh -- doesn't that sound wonderful? In this book, love-based copywriting and marketing expert Michele PW (Pariza Wacek) teaches you the philosophy and the foundational principles behind selling with love versus fear – the same proven principles she's used to help her clients sell nearly $50 Million worth of products and services over eight years. Plus, she includes dozens of exercises so you too can easily implement love-based copy into your own business. Whether you're a seasoned entrepreneur or business owner or just starting out, you'll discover valuable tips and strategies around selling and marketing with love. And not only will you feel great about it, so will your ideal clients. "Love-Based Copywriting Method" is a part of the Love-Based Business series, which is an award-winning series that has been featured on numerous media outlets, including CBS and NPR. You may also want to check out "Love-Based Copywriting System," the second book in the Love-Based Business series, which walks you through step-by-step exactly how to write copy that sells with love. I wish I had Michele's books when I started my first business! The heart, soul and wisdom she shares - along with a deep practical, tactical understanding of how 'Love Based' copywriting really works - is a rare and unique gift that any entrepreneur needs to succeed. Too many of today's marketing tactics feel inauthentic and manipulative. Michele, and her books provide another, much more aligned and authentic way to communicate your message, and your value, in a way that feels GREAT for everyone involved and produces results for you, and your clients. Christine Kloser, award-winning author If you not only want to love your copy and marketing but have your ideal clients love your copy and marketing, Michele's philosophy and system is just what the doctor ordered! Lisa Sasevich, best-selling author of "Boost Your Sales: How to Use Irresistible Offers... Without Being Salesy" As a heart-centered visionary who cares deeply about the people I'm here to serve, I know that marketing from a place of love is essential. Michele PW is the perfect guide & mentor to allow us all to fully embrace our heart while enrolling people. Amy Ahlers, Wake-Up Call Coach & Bestselling Author What readers are saying about the Love-Based Copy books: Love-Based Copywriting offers an alternative to the kind of fear-based marketing that often feels so icky for both those creating it and those on the receiving end. T.L. Cooper The message is excellent and will be a book I'll recommend to all my clients. Goodreads reader Very impressed with this book. Filled with golden nuggets, it provides an excellent process for doing what the cover says: Writing heart centered copy. Jessi Lohman I work in marketing and most of what I do involves copywriting. This method really helped me lose the generic message and become more specific. The writing exercises are helpful. Can’t wait to read the rest of the series!

INSPIRED by Marty Cagan Pdf

How do today’s most successful tech companies—Amazon, Google, Facebook, Netflix, Tesla—design, develop, and deploy the products that have earned the love of literally billions of people around the world? Perhaps surprisingly, they do it very differently than the vast majority of tech companies. In INSPIRED, technology product management thought leader Marty Cagan provides readers with a master class in how to structure and staff a vibrant and successful product organization, and how to discover and deliver technology products that your customers will love—and that will work for your business. With sections on assembling the right people and skillsets, discovering the right product, embracing an effective yet lightweight process, and creating a strong product culture, readers can take the information they learn and immediately leverage it within their own organizations—dramatically improving their own product efforts. Whether you’re an early stage startup working to get to product/market fit, or a growth-stage company working to scale your product organization, or a large, long-established company trying to regain your ability to consistently deliver new value for your customers, INSPIRED will take you and your product organization to a new level of customer engagement, consistent innovation, and business success. Filled with the author’s own personal stories—and profiles of some of today’s most-successful product managers and technology-powered product companies, including Adobe, Apple, BBC, Google, Microsoft, and Netflix—INSPIRED will show you how to turn up the dial of your own product efforts, creating technology products your customers love. The first edition of INSPIRED, published ten years ago, established itself as the primary reference for technology product managers, and can be found on the shelves of nearly every successful technology product company worldwide. This thoroughly updated second edition shares the same objective of being the most valuable resource for technology product managers, yet it is completely new—sharing the latest practices and techniques of today’s most-successful tech product companies, and the men and women behind every great product.
