The first thing you'll learn? Get a plan, work it hard, be smart, and surround yourself with people who know how to help you reach your goals--people like Michael Franzese.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if customers expect more than just a good product, excellent service and perfectly performing digital interfaces? And what if new technologies like 5G, artificial intelligence, quantum computing and robotics offer possibilities that go beyond mere ease of use? Digital ease of use is the new minimum. It has become a commodity. The customer now regards it as the most normal thing in the world to have access to limitless products and services with just a single click of a mouse. In the years ahead, companies will need to play an active role in the 'life journey' of customers: helping to make their dreams come true and removing problems from their daily lives. In addition, customers are looking increasingly to companies instead of governments to tackle societal challenges like climate change, health care and mobility. If your company succeeds in providing outstanding digital service, becomes a partner in the life of your customers and provides solutions for major societal issues, you will develop 'an offer you can't refuse'.
Book Synopsis An Offer We Can't Refuse by : George De Stefano
Download or read book An Offer We Can't Refuse written by George De Stefano and published by Faber & Faber/Farrar, Straus, Giroux. This book was released on 2007-01-23 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mafia has maintained an enduring hold on the American cultural imagination--even as it continues to wrongly color our real-life perception of Italian Americans. Journalist and cultural critic De Stefano takes a look at the origins and prevalence of the Mafia mythos in America. Beginning with a consideration of Italian emigration in the early twentieth century and the fear and prejudice--among both Americans and Italians--that informed our earliest conception of what was the largest immigrant group to enter the United States, De Stefano explores how these impressions laid the groundwork for the images so familiar to us today and uses them to illuminate and explore the variety and allure of Mafia stories. At the same time, he addresses the lingering power of the goodfella cliché, which makes it all but impossible to green-light a project about the Italian American experience not set in gangland.--From publisher description.

Book Synopsis So Good They Can't Ignore You by : Cal Newport
Download or read book So Good They Can't Ignore You written by Cal Newport and published by Grand Central Publishing. This book was released on 2012-09-18 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an unorthodox approach, Georgetown University professor Cal Newport debunks the long-held belief that "follow your passion" is good advice, and sets out on a quest to discover the reality of how people end up loving their careers. Not only are pre-existing passions rare and have little to do with how most people end up loving their work, but a focus on passion over skill can be dangerous, leading to anxiety and chronic job hopping. Spending time with organic farmers, venture capitalists, screenwriters, freelance computer programmers, and others who admitted to deriving great satisfaction from their work, Newport uncovers the strategies they used and the pitfalls they avoided in developing their compelling careers. Cal reveals that matching your job to a pre-existing passion does not matter. Passion comes after you put in the hard work to become excellent at something valuable, not before. In other words, what you do for a living is much less important than how you do it. With a title taken from the comedian Steve Martin, who once said his advice for aspiring entertainers was to "be so good they can't ignore you," Cal Newport's clearly written manifesto is mandatory reading for anyone fretting about what to do with their life, or frustrated by their current job situation and eager to find a fresh new way to take control of their livelihood. He provides an evidence-based blueprint for creating work you love, and will change the way you think about careers, happiness, and the crafting of a remarkable life.
Book Synopsis An Offer I Couldn't Refuse by : Joe Cirillo
Download or read book An Offer I Couldn't Refuse written by Joe Cirillo and published by . This book was released on 2021-02-09 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The phone rang at 2:00am, waking me from a sound sleep. To get a call at that hour I panicked and thought the worst. Who would be calling at this hour? Was there an accident? Did something happen to one of my children or perhaps a family member? I fumbled for the phone knocking it off its cradle. My wife stirred next to me asking "Who is it at this hour? Picking up the phone and with an anxious quality in my voice I asked, "Who is it?" Hearing the voice of Bill Kennedy, one of my security personnel, had me immediately sit up in bed. Getting calls in the middle of the night was not unusual to me. But this time, at this hour of the night, I knew it had to be important. Many times, calls came from a location scout or from the production office of a movie company requesting security at a location where they just finished shooting. This time, when I heard my security man's voice, that of Bill Kennedy, I jumped out of bed and took the phone into my bathroom. Bill Kennedy was my security officer assigned at the Waldorf Towers in the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City. Our client was Frank Sinatra. All kinds of thoughts ran through my mind. He then went on to say he was sorry for waking me, but he felt he had to tell me because it was a very unusual situation and shocking to him. He also said if the press were to get the story, it would make page six or even the front page for that matter. I quickly asked if Mr. Sinatra was okay or if anything happened to him. He assured me Mr. Sinatra was okay, and nothing happened to him... but he was not himself. I then asked, "What do you mean he was not himself?" He then described what happened. You cannot make stories like this up. And this is only one story in the many I have encountered as an actor, security person and friend to many of Hollywood's biggest stars. You are about to read stories about the following celebrities I either worked with, did security for, or befriended. I had known many people of interest, quite a few of them Hollywood's biggest stars. Many are still by-words: Telly Savalas, Al Pacino, Meryl Streep, Robert De Niro, Barbra Streisand, Tom Hanks, Frank Sinatra, Katherine Hepburn, to name just a few. So, I decided stories about them might be of interest to movie fans and the public. Then why would anyone want to read my autobiography? Especially when I'm practically a nobody in the business in comparison to them. Yes, I have had my fifteen minutes of fame. I worked in the original Godfather movie. I had a small role in Ghostbusters that people seem to remember me in. I worked in the Kojak series both as an actor and technical advisor. I also had a co-starring role in a TV series called Eischeid, which starred Joe Don Baker. I did okay as an actor but who will remember Joe Cirillo, enough to buy his book? But I realized this story was about a lot more than me. My friends told me that I probably had more interesting stories to tell than the average actor. They would say my book did not have to be limited to just my Hollywood experiences. I could write so much more, and it would not be fiction. They would tell me my being a combat veteran during the Korean War would make an interesting story by itself. And being a police officer in the New York City Police Department for twenty years would be another one. I was on the job from the late 50's to the late 70's, which were very turbulent years in New York City. I had been friends or worked with some of the most honored and famous police officers and detectives in those years. I knew detectives Eddie Egan and Sonny Grosso of The French Connection fame. They were portrayed by Gene Hackman and Roy Scheider, and that movie went on to become the Academy Award winner for best picture of the year. I knew many other famous recognizable names of the NYPD and their stories that were front page headlines. What you are about to read is the truth. I am not looking to embarrass or defame anyone. You can't make this up!

In plain and simple language, Juan Carlos Samaniego tells how he went for eight years without filing taxes, following the rule of omerta. Even his wife didn't know how long he had hidden from the IRS and how much he owed! He didn't tell anyone out of shame and fear that someone would "rat" him out!

He can defend taxpayers in front of the IRS on any level. He's a recognized expert at resolving tax issues; he is the Godfather of tax resolution. Carlos will show you the three crucial steps you must take to handle your tax debt problems. He will show you how to reduce your tax debt and get the IRS "hit men" off your back for good!

Book Synopsis Why We Can't Wait by : Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Download or read book Why We Can't Wait written by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2011-01-11 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. King’s best-selling account of the civil rights movement in Birmingham during the spring and summer of 1963 On April 16, 1963, as the violent events of the Birmingham campaign unfolded in the city’s streets, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., composed a letter from his prison cell in response to local religious leaders’ criticism of the campaign. The resulting piece of extraordinary protest writing, “Letter from Birmingham Jail,” was widely circulated and published in numerous periodicals. After the conclusion of the campaign and the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom in 1963, King further developed the ideas introduced in the letter in Why We Can’t Wait, which tells the story of African American activism in the spring and summer of 1963. During this time, Birmingham, Alabama, was perhaps the most racially segregated city in the United States, but the campaign launched by King, Fred Shuttlesworth, and others demonstrated to the world the power of nonviolent direct action. Often applauded as King’s most incisive and eloquent book, Why We Can’t Wait recounts the Birmingham campaign in vivid detail, while underscoring why 1963 was such a crucial year for the civil rights movement. Disappointed by the slow pace of school desegregation and civil rights legislation, King observed that by 1963—during which the country celebrated the one-hundredth anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation—Asia and Africa were “moving with jetlike speed toward gaining political independence but we still creep at a horse-and-buggy pace.” King examines the history of the civil rights struggle, noting tasks that future generations must accomplish to bring about full equality, and asserts that African Americans have already waited over three centuries for civil rights and that it is time to be proactive: “For years now, I have heard the word ‘Wait!’ It rings in the ear of every Negro with piercing familiarity. This ‘Wait’ has almost always meant ‘Never.’ We must come to see, with one of our distinguished jurists, that ‘justice too long delayed is justice denied.’”
