Download or read book 8 Building Blocks To Launch, Manage, And Grow A Successful Business - Second Edition written by Paul B. Silverman and published by BookLocker.com, Inc.. This book was released on 2024-04-10 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 8 Building Blocks To Launch, Manage, and Grow A Successful Business - Second Edition is about opportunity and achieving success, reinforced by the opening Mark Twain quote "So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sail. Explore. Dream. Discover." The book helps readers navigate from business idea to launching a successful new venture. An easy-to-read entertaining book delivering powerful, useful counsel. Entrepreneurs with experience learn starting a new venture really is the easy part– from business idea, business plan, resources, and launch- these skills can be learned. A recent search on Amazon showed 9,003 "start your own business" or "SYOB" books and many are excellent. And they cover skills the author calls Entrepreneurial Management 1.0. But SBA statistics show half of all these new ventures fail within five years- the challenge is not starting a new business but growth and survival. So, with plenty of books out there, why kill trees for one more? The more relevant question is despite all these resources, why do half of all new ventures fail to meet the critical five- year milestone? Today's challenges demand you know more. Entrepreneurial Management 1.0 skills are just not good enough to help you be a "Survivor" entrepreneur. Simply put, yesterday's skills do not meet today's entrepreneur's needs. Before committing resources to develop new ventures, Fortune 500 firms go further, look at strategic issues, identify alliance and global strategies, understand how new venture metrics impact overall return given 3 to 5,000 other products and services in their business. And these Fortune 500 techniques provide the foundation for what the author defines as Entrepreneurial Management 2.0, a new entrepreneurial management discipline drawing upon new venture 'best practices', Fortune 500 firm techniques for launching and managing new ventures, and the author's experience working with many early-stage public and private companies. Helping entrepreneurs gain new skills needed to meet today’s challenges, reach the critical five-year milestone, and create more "Survivor" rather than "Maybe Next Time" entrepreneurs, is why the author wrote this book. Entrepreneurial Management 2.0 includes a portfolio of new entrepreneurial management skills organized into the eight "Building Blocks" which are defined and explained with examples in the new book. The Second Edition includes edits to improve readability and several new sections. The Digital Marketing arena is moving quickly, impacting today’s traditional sales and marketing processes. The Second Edition includes a new section on Digital Marketing, reviewing tools, methodologies, and impact for entrepreneurs. Regulatory guidelines for securing capital have changed significantly since the First Edition release in 2015. The regulatory section has been revised and updated with updates on the JOBS Act related regulations and a new section addressing the SEC's 'Regulation Crowdfunding' initiative offering entrepreneurs new alternatives to secure financing.

Download or read book How to Create a Culture of Achievement in Your School and Classroom written by Douglas Fisher and published by ASCD. This book was released on 2012-04-26 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it feel like to walk into your school? Is it a welcoming place, where everyone feels valued? Most school improvement efforts focus on academic goals, instructional models, curriculum, and assessments. But sometimes what can make or break your learning community are the intangibles--the relationships, identity, and connections that make up its culture. Authors Fisher, Frey, and Pumpian believe that no school improvement effort will be effective unless school culture is addressed. They identify five pillars that are critical to building a culture of achievement: 1. Welcome: Imagine if all staff members in your school considered it their job to make every student, parent, and visitor feel noticed, welcomed, and valued. 2. Do no harm: Your school rules should be tools for teaching students to become the moral and ethical citizens you expect them to be. 3. Choice words: When the language students hear helps them tell a story about themselves that is one of possibility and potential, students perform in ways that are consistent with that belief. 4. It's never too late to learn: Can you push students to go beyond the minimum needed to get by, to discover what they are capable of achieving? 5. Best school in the universe: Is your school the best place to teach and learn? The best place to work? Drawing on their years of experience in the classroom, the authors explain how these pillars support good teaching and learning. In addition, they provide 19 action research tools that will help you create a culture of achievement, so that your school or classroom is the best it can be. After reading this book, you'll see why culture makes the difference between a school that enables success for all students and a school that merely houses those students during the school day.

Download or read book Understanding by Design written by Grant P. Wiggins and published by ASCD. This book was released on 2005 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is understanding and how does it differ from knowledge? How can we determine the big ideas worth understanding? Why is understanding an important teaching goal, and how do we know when students have attained it? How can we create a rigorous and engaging curriculum that focuses on understanding and leads to improved student performance in today's high-stakes, standards-based environment? Authors Grant Wiggins and Jay McTighe answer these and many other questions in this second edition of Understanding by Design. Drawing on feedback from thousands of educators around the world who have used the UbD framework since its introduction in 1998, the authors have greatly revised and expanded their original work to guide educators across the K-16 spectrum in the design of curriculum, assessment, and instruction. With an improved UbD Template at its core, the book explains the rationale of backward design and explores in greater depth the meaning of such key ideas as essential questions and transfer tasks. Readers will learn why the familiar coverage- and activity-based approaches to curriculum design fall short, and how a focus on the six facets of understanding can enrich student learning. With an expanded array of practical strategies, tools, and examples from all subject areas, the book demonstrates how the research-based principles of Understanding by Design apply to district frameworks as well as to individual units of curriculum. Combining provocative ideas, thoughtful analysis, and tested approaches, this new edition of Understanding by Design offers teacher-designers a clear path to the creation of curriculum that ensures better learning and a more stimulating experience for students and teachers alike.
