Or, do you want to avoid pitfalls that can ruin your business? Learn from someone who has made the mistakes you want to avoid. See the inside reasons why these 20 things can ruin a business and keep it from being more successful. As an entrepreneur that has worked at businesses for 40 years, I have had my share of failures. Each time I failed, I looked to see what it was that caused me to fail. Each time, I found some little "nugget" that I could take with me to the next effort to help me avoid failure in the next. This book is made up of a number of the lessons I learned during all this time in business. My hope is that you'll avoid these pitfalls and be more successful as a result. Just because I know how to fail at business, it does not necessarily mean that I am a failure at business myself. I'm an entrepreneur. I think I have always been an entrepreneur. The idea of making or obtaining something and selling it to someone else in a way that makes them happy and makes me money is something I've been utilizing since elementary school. I have tried in probably a hundred ways to make money and help people. Some worked quite well, some not so well. Some lasted a while, others only a few days. Some never got off the ground. Each and every time I tried something, I have been able to look back and analyze that situation and learn from it. I don't know why, but I have been blessed with a fantastic memory of the past. Not an identic or photographic memory, just a good memory of things said, actions taken, interactions with people, and a lot of visual memories. It is a blessing to be able to look back at these times and think about every move, every nuance, every person involved, and I try to see why things worked out or didn't work out. These are the lessons I've learned from all these efforts. By reading this book, it is my belief, that if you avoid all the pitfalls that are listed here, you will be able to be successful in the business you choose. Of course there no guarantees and your success will still depend on what you choose and how hard you work. But these guidelines of what NOT to do will keep you from making a lot of mistakes.

Book excerpt: In the ever-changing world of business, we've arrived at a point where process has trumped culture, where the race toward efficiency has left us unable to reach our potential. Stuck in the land of status quo, we've forgotten how to think. The very structures put in place to help businesses grow are now holding us back;; it's time to Kill the Company. This book is a call to arms: to start a revolution in how we think and work. But instead of more one-size-fits-all change initiatives forced upon employees, we need to embrace small changes that create ripple effects throughout the organization. Lisa Bodell urges companies to move from "Zombies, Inc." to "Think, Inc." Thinking can no longer be exclusive to the creative team or lead strategists. A culture of curiosity must be fostered among the ranks to shake up our standard practices, from unproductive meetings to go-nowhere strategic planning. This revolution can and will awaken our ability to think, and ultimately, to innovate and grow.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leaders have talked about the importance of corporate culture for decades, but the success of iconic companies like GE, Apple, and Google shows how culture is a strategic lever that can be utilized for driving growth, change, and innovation. In this new age of globalization, rapid technology shifts, and constant disruption, the 21st century marketplace is more volatile and uncertain than ever. To thrive, businesses need a new kind of emphasis around culture. Sara Roberts, former CEO and founder of Roberts Golden and a seasoned executive consultant to dozens of Fortune 500 companies and CEOs, sees how flourishing companies—from established market leaders to the surprising upstarts—share three distinct attributes: Nimble: They are much faster and more agile than ordinary organizations Focused: They use their sense of purpose as a lens to understand and meet the needs of customers and markets Feisty: They play big and act bold to capitalize on advantages and out-muscle the competition For successful companies in this new era, culture is not about playing defense but about going on offense. It's purposely designed, leveraged, and honed to deliver value and drive growth. In Nimble, Focused, Feisty, Roberts provides not only a look into what these organizations are doing differently but also a blueprint and framework so your company can create a cultural strategy to thrive in the new era.
