Book Synopsis The Accidental Entrepreneur by : Frederick Brodsky
Download or read book The Accidental Entrepreneur written by Frederick Brodsky and published by . This book was released on 2021-03-02 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fred Brodsky never had a plan. After failing out of Rutgers University, he lacked direction, but a year spent working for his uncle in France sent him down an unexpected entrepreneurial path. After learning from two key mentors while working at the Ford Motor Company, and later, ITT WorldCom, he looked for opportunities that allowed him the freedom to live life his way. Following several years of working in New York City, he spent most of the 1970s traveling the world, learning the ins and outs of international business and finance while working for Trammel Crow International. Thinking he could do better on his own, he put his money where his mouth was and started International Investment Advisors, a real estate investment and development company that made a splash during the Dallas real estate boom. When the market crashed in 1985, Fred went from being worth over $70 million on paper to being underwater by $42 million. He was then forced to start from scratch. It took ten years, but he was able to earn success all over again. In The Accidental Entrepreneur, Fred Brodsky relives his successes and failures and proves that if you are persistent and diligently explore opportunities through strong relationships, you can be successful and content with your life.
Book Synopsis The Accidental Entrepreneur by : Serena Holmes
Download or read book The Accidental Entrepreneur written by Serena Holmes and published by . This book was released on 2021-10-27 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth, but it tarnished. At least, that's what I was told. Life as I knew it fell apart when I was just 4 years old and it would continue to go downhill for several years afterwards. What did I learn from these experiences? The world doesn't owe you anything. If you want to make something of yourself, it will be up to you to take ownership and accountability of the outcome. A mentor once said I was "fearless in my ability to address risks, viewing them as walls to jump over rather than barriers to stop me" - and he was right. I try not to let anything stand in my way when I am pursuing a goal. Follow along with me on my journey of self-discovery and how I managed to navigate all of the lessons life had to throw my way. Instead of letting them knock me down, I used these lessons as stepping stones on the path to success, turning tragedy into triumph to embrace my destiny in entrepreneurship.

This volume reveals and celebrates Campbell's many contributions to the field by presenting new variations that stem directly from his work.

Download or read book Footprints written by David Hilton-Barber and published by 30 Degrees South Publishers. This book was released on 2016-01-16 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a story of success, of the triumph of man over a wilderness; of the triumph of science over disease; of the conversion of a Valley of Death into a paradise. It tells of the shaping of one of the cornerstones of South Africa from a stone which the earlier builders not only rejected, but found an almost insurmountable obstacle. It tells of men and women of all races, principally Boer, Briton and Hollander, toiling against great odds, some for sheer love of adventure, some for wealth or personal advantage, some with a true desire for the common weal; of some who came and shortly went their ways elsewhere; of many who closed their lives here in a twilight of apparently hopeless failure; of some few who lived through the later stages of travail and of hardship to see at last, 'The stubborn thistle bursting into glossy purples, richer than the most voluptuous garden roses'. Each and all of these men and women of the past did their bit, great or small, consciously or unconsciously, with objects of self or of the common good, towards the shaping of the Stone, but the Great Architect could and did combine those individual efforts to the shaping of the things to come; none could foresee how great would be the eventual victory over the inimical forces of Nature, how great would be the use to which future generations would put the generous gifts of Nature in this Region of ours[: the Lowveld]. --H.S. Webb, first president of the Lowveld Regional Development Association, in his preface to The South-Eastern Transvaal Lowveld published in 1954.

Book Synopsis What You Do Is Who You Are by : Ben Horowitz
Download or read book What You Do Is Who You Are written by Ben Horowitz and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2019-10-29 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ben Horowitz, a leading venture capitalist, modern management expert, and New York Times bestselling author, combines lessons both from history and from modern organizational practice with practical and often surprising advice to help executives build cultures that can weather both good and bad times. Ben Horowitz has long been fascinated by history, and particularly by how people behave differently than you’d expect. The time and circumstances in which they were raised often shapes them—yet a few leaders have managed to shape their times. In What You Do Is Who You Are, he turns his attention to a question crucial to every organization: how do you create and sustain the culture you want? To Horowitz, culture is how a company makes decisions. It is the set of assumptions employees use to resolve everyday problems: should I stay at the Red Roof Inn, or the Four Seasons? Should we discuss the color of this product for five minutes or thirty hours? If culture is not purposeful, it will be an accident or a mistake. What You Do Is Who You Are explains how to make your culture purposeful by spotlighting four models of leadership and culture-building—the leader of the only successful slave revolt, Haiti’s Toussaint Louverture; the Samurai, who ruled Japan for seven hundred years and shaped modern Japanese culture; Genghis Khan, who built the world’s largest empire; and Shaka Senghor, a man convicted of murder who ran the most formidable prison gang in the yard and ultimately transformed prison culture. Horowitz connects these leadership examples to modern case-studies, including how Louverture’s cultural techniques were applied (or should have been) by Reed Hastings at Netflix, Travis Kalanick at Uber, and Hillary Clinton, and how Genghis Khan’s vision of cultural inclusiveness has parallels in the work of Don Thompson, the first African-American CEO of McDonalds, and of Maggie Wilderotter, the CEO who led Frontier Communications. Horowitz then offers guidance to help any company understand its own strategy and build a successful culture. What You Do Is Who You Are is a journey through culture, from ancient to modern. Along the way, it answers a question fundamental to any organization: who are we? How do people talk about us when we’re not around? How do we treat our customers? Are we there for people in a pinch? Can we be trusted? Who you are is not the values you list on the wall. It’s not what you say in company-wide meeting. It’s not your marketing campaign. It’s not even what you believe. Who you are is what you do. This book aims to help you do the things you need to become the kind of leader you want to be—and others want to follow.
Book Synopsis Ronnie Apteker's Funny Business by : Gus Silber
Download or read book Ronnie Apteker's Funny Business written by Gus Silber and published by Penguin Random House South Africa. This book was released on 2010-11-18 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why does an entrepreneur, like a comedian, need to close a deal every 15 seconds? It is said that inside every successful entrepreneur there is a stand-up comic struggling to get out. Well, meet one who managed to escape. His name is Ronnie Apteker, and no, he’s not an apteker. He’s the high-energy, high-tech founder of South Africa’s first internet service provider, Internet Solutions, and a number of other innovative online ventures. But his real business is getting a laugh out of people, whether it’s in a boardroom, on a stage or on a movie set. As a storyteller, moviemaker and creative spirit, Ronnie takes business seriously enough to know that you don’t need to take yourself too seriously to succeed. Funny Business is a seriously funny and comically serious look at the arcane art and science of entrepreneurship, in which Ronnie reveals why it helps, as an entrepreneur, to have a nice Jewish mother; why being a waiter is the best training for an entrepreneur, especially if you’re serving steak tartare; why you sometimes need to slow down to move fast in a world where progress is a paradox; and why some mistakes are too good to make only once Much more than a business book, this book is everyone’s business. It’s about the way the world works; it’s about living your life with grace and purpose; it’s about learning to love what you do for a living. And it might help you to make it as an entrepreneur ... not to mention a stand-up comic.
