Find Your Extraordinary by Jessica DiLullo Herrin Pdf
In this Wall Street Journal bestseller, Jessica Herrin, serial entrepreneur and founder and CEO of the Stella & Dot Family Brands, shows how the classic traits of successful entrepreneurs are ones each one of us can develop--and use not only to create a company, but also to create an extraordinary life. What if you could, with a little effort, live an extraordinary life? A life in which you felt deep passion for everything you did, and always had time for what matters most? A life in which you had the power, the daring, and the will to make your boldest dreams come true, all while you happily left feelings of inadequacy or guilt behind? It is possible to take your life from ordinary to extraordinary. The secret? Cultivating the entrepreneurial spirit inside you--the spirit that allows you to embrace your individuality, to look not just at what is but at what could be, to believe in yourself beyond reason and to step up to creating your own definition of happiness and success--a version of success in which work and family life happily co-exist--instead of chasing a cookie-cutter version. Whether we work a corporate job, run a family, or run our own business, Herrin offers realistic, attainable steps each one of us can take to achieve extraordinary success on our own terms. Through candid and inspiring lessons from her life as a successful CEO and working mother of two, as well as stories of many amazing individuals she’s met along the way, Herrin inspires and empowers us to dial up the sound of our own voices and make our authentic dreams a reality.

It Can Be Done by Chick Stewart,Michele Carter Pdf
"Call me Chick. I've been called Chick since I was six years old. If you call me Donald, I'll know you don't know me. In this story, I'll tell you how my life unfolded over the last eight decades: how I got that nickname; how I met and married the most beautiful girl in the world; and how I came to own and operate S & R sawmills in Surrey, British Columbia. By the end of this book, I'm pretty sure you'll know me well enough to call me Chick." --Chapter One Chick grew up on a chicken farm in Fort Rouge, Manitoba. It was the Great Depression and money was always tight, so he began his entrepreneurial career early, peddling eggs to the neighbours, jockeying for odd jobs and selling magazines. After a move to Vancouver, he set pins for a bowling alley, baled shavings and made his mill debut at fifteen straightening boards in the Youbou Mill on Vancouver Island. When the opportunity to buy a mill arose, Chick decided to take a chance. It was a good decision. After buying his first mill with Vic Rempel, their quality work earned them steady cuts, and they were able to buy more equipment, install electricity and expand. It wasn't all smooth sailing--Chick had to dive into the Fraser River to rescue a saw, douse a fire, deal with the fallout of the Asian financial crisis and adapt to growing environmental concerns--but S & R survived and thrived, consistently employing a workforce of over five hundred. Chick even came out of the lumber business with all ten fingers. It Can Be Done is also the lively story of Chick's personal life and includes tales of old-fashioned childhood escapades like trick-or-treating for potatoes and relocating neighbours' outhouses, as well as stories of other adventures: a motorcycle road trip ending with a night in jail because all the motels in town were full, and his decision to get a pilot's license after flying in a plane that was literally falling apart into his lap. Chick shares emotional milestones too: meeting his wife in an ice cream shop, family vacations on Gossip Island and, in later years, building Czorny Alzheimer Centre. Told with a great deal of humility and humour, It Can Be Done is the story of an honourable man, well-respected by his peers, and a history of over fifty years of evolution and change in the BC lumber business.
One Ordinary Woman, One Extraordinary God by M. Lorene Kimura Pdf
An Encouragement for the Heart SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN GOD CALLS YOUR NAME You dream of being used by God but think your life has been too rough, you have been through too much, or done too much for yourself. If you want to find out if God could use you, join with Lorene Kimura to see how he used even the most unsuspecting women. The secret is not in the knowledge you have but being ready every day for the special time for when God calls your name. Describing herself as the "chosen child," Lorene never comprehended the entire meaning of that until much later in life, when God called her and she was ready to listen. Come on a journey, as you discover a fresh approach to a life for God, conquering the attitudes that would hold you back. God doesn't look at your mistakes, lifestyle, or commitments, but by your willingness to say, "Here I am, God. Use me." Jam-packed with storytelling and Bible teaching, One Ordinary Woman, One Extraordinary God will open your eyes to the many ways God can use you where you are, if only you will let him, illustrating the similarities of biblical and contemporary women. God has made us what we are. In Christ Jesus, God made us to do good works, which God planned in advance for us to live our lives doing. (Ephesians 2:10, NCV)
