Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America is the ultimate start-up venture – and these are the heroes who made it happen The history of the United States is, to a remarkable degree, the story of its entrepreneurs, those daring movers and shakers who dreamed big and risked everything to build better lives for themselves and their fellow Americans. Drawing on his own family's remarkable journey, Duck Commander CEO and star of the blockbuster Duck Dynasty series Willie Robertson tells the captivating true tale of the visionaries and doers who have embodied the American dream. We begin with the first American entrepreneurs, the Native Americans, who established a highly sophisticated commercial network across the land in the precolonial days. The original Founding Father, George Washington, was also a founding entrepreneur, at the head of a thriving agribusiness venture that gave him the executive skills to steer the nation through the darkest hours of the American Revolution. Then, of course, there were the mega entrepreneurs, legendary figures like Astor, Vanderbilt, Carnegie, and Rockefeller, who transformed America, connected the country with miles of railroad track and supplied the fuel and steel that would help make America the most powerful nation on earth. And in recent years, business visionaries like Jobs, Gates, and Zuckerberg—not to mention the thousands of equally vital, yet smaller-scale, operators who spring up every year—have ushered America into the twenty-first century. American Entrepreneur also relates the story of the Robertson family business, telling how Willie’s family turned a humble regional duck call manufacturer, founded by his father, Phil, into an international powerhouse brand. From a young age, Willie had the entrepreneurial bug, buying candy in bulk and hawking it on the school bus. He did special orders and earned a small fortune for a ten-year-old—until he was hauled into the principal’s office and told to knock it off. So he transferred his focus to Phil’s fledgling business, helping in whatever way he could, from folding endless numbers of cardboard boxes to acting as the company’s customer service department—though he still wasn’t out of grade school. Willie helped build Duck Commander, which he now runs, into a worldwide brand, culminating in the mega success of the Duck Dynasty television show. American Entrepreneur tells a most American tale, of those among us who, through their vision, ingenuity, and good old-fashioned hard work, made something that changed the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book vividly illustrates the history of business in the United States from the point of view of the enterprising men and women who made it happen. Ever since the first colonists landed in the New World, Americans have forged ahead in their quest to make good on promises of capitalism and independence. Weaving stirring narrative with economic analysis, this historical deep dive recounts the successes and failures of some of the most iconic business people to grace our history books--from the founding of our country to the present day. In American Entrepreneur, you’ll learn about how: Eli Whitney changed the shape of the American business landscape; the Civil War impacted the economy, and how it was renewed by the subsequent dominance of Andrew Carnegie and J. P. Morgan; Asa Candler, W. K. Kellogg, Henry Ford, and J.C. Penney led the rise of the consumer marketplace; and Warren Buffett’s, Michael Milken’s, and Martha Stewart’s experience in the “New Economy” in the 1990s--and how that economy continues today. It is an adventure to start a business, and the greatest risk takers in that adventure are entrepreneurs. This is the epic story of America’s entrepreneurs and how they created the economy we enjoy today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dedicated to the late Gerard Béhague (1937-2005), whose pioneering work in Latin American music, popular culture, and performance studies contributed extensively to ethnomusicological discourse in the 1970s-1990s, this anthology offers comparative perspectives on the evolving legacy of performance ethnography in socio-musical analysis. President of the Society for Ethnomusicology from 1979-81, editor of its journal, Ethnomusicology, from 1974-78, and founder and editor of the trilingual Latin American Music Review from 1980 until his death, Béhague also established the ethnomusicology graduate program at the University of Texas at Austin in 1974, thereby influencing the training and thinking of dozens of the field’s practitioners. Among these are the volume’s eight authors, whose contributions reflect the heritage but also contemporary trajectories of Béhague’s scholarly concerns. Prefaced by an essay outlining key developments in the ethnography of performance paradigm, the volume’s seven case studies portray snapshots of musical life in representative communities of the Americas, including the southwestern and Pacific United States, Puerto Rico, Bolivia, Chile, Cuba, and Ecuador. Situated in milieus ranging from the indigenous festivals of the Andean highlands, to the competitive public gatherings of poet-singers in post-Pinochet Chile, to the Puerto Rican dance halls of the Hawaiian islands, these studies pose anthropological inquiries into the ontology of performance practice, the social power of poetic performativity, and the experience and embodiment of sound in place.

Book excerpt: What’s your entrepreneurial style? “This powerful, practical book gives you proven techniques to help you maximize your personal and business potential and make more money than ever before.” —BRIAN TRACY, author of The Psychology of Selling “Stop trying to fit the mold of some successful entrepreneur you’ve seen and start tapping your own DNA—this book will show you how.” —JOHN JANTSCH, author of Duct Tape Marketing and The Referral Engine “This book is the ultimate roadmap to building a thriving business and life as an entrepreneur. Joe Abraham’s ideas and insights are fresh, innovative, timeless, and guaranteed to produce real results and position you for long-term success.” —IVAN MISNER, New York Times bestselling author of The 29% Solution and founder of BNI and Referral Institute “Joe is the next-generation version of Michael Gerber.” —ERIC PLANTENBERG, founder and CEO, Freedom Personal Development “Are you interested in knowing your strengths and weaknesses as an entrepreneur and the strategies that work best for your particular DNA? If so, read this insightful and helpful book.” —RAFAEL PASTOR, Chairman of the Board and CEO, Vistage International “Discover how to succeed and stand apart from other entrepreneurs.” —ENTREPRENEUR MAGAZINE About the Book: Entrepreneurial DNA proves the simple but critical fact that not all entrepreneurs are cut from the same cloth. After all, nobody would put Donald Trump, a multilevel marketer, and the owner of a local pizza parlor in the same category. Everyone possesses unique entrepreneurial “DNA”—and discovering yours is the critical first step to success. To help you build a successful business or optimize results within your current business, serial entrepreneur and business strategist Joe Abraham has developed the BOSI system—a simple, structured process for determining your own entrepreneurial tendencies, strengths, and growth areas. With the BOSI system, you can create a strategic plan mapped to your entrepreneurial DNA that will improve all aspects of your business and leadership journey. Abraham’s system provides four entrepreneurial categories that people fall into. Which type of entrepreneur are you? Builder: Strategic, always looking for the upper hand Talent: creating scalable business ventures Opportunist: Speculative, always in the right place at the right time Talent: making money fast Specialist: Focused, in it for the long term Talent: providing exceptional client service Innovator: Inventive, with a desire to make an impact Talent: creating game-changing products At least one of these four categories describes you—or perhaps a combination of two. Learning what type of entrepreneurial DNA you possess is critical to how you should structure and deploy your game plan in business. Whether you’re serious about becoming a successful entrepreneur or improving your existing business, start with Entrepreneurial DNA. You’ll discover your unique BOSI profi le and gain tremendous insight into how to engage the right people and develop plans and processes to match who you are.

Book excerpt: Entrepreneurship -- manifested in the entry of new firms or products into new markets, or substantial improvements in technological capacity or process innovation by incumbent firms -- is widely considered to be an important ingredient for long term economic development. This report argues that entrepreneurship is also a source of employment generation, export growth, and resilience during economic downturns. Although the conventional wisdom suggests that Latin American and Caribbean countries underperform relative to China and other emerging markets in terms of its entrepreneurial dynamism, t.
