Book Synopsis Business Adventures by : John Brooks
Download or read book Business Adventures written by John Brooks and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2015-05-14 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'The best business book I've ever read.' Bill Gates, Wall Street Journal 'The Michael Lewis of his day.' New York Times What do the $350 million Ford Motor Company disaster known as the Edsel, the fast and incredible rise of Xerox, and the unbelievable scandals at General Electric and Texas Gulf Sulphur have in common? Each is an example of how an iconic company was defined by a particular moment of fame or notoriety. These notable and fascinating accounts are as relevant today to understanding the intricacies of corporate life as they were when the events happened. Stories about Wall Street are infused with drama and adventure and reveal the machinations and volatile nature of the world of finance. John Brooks's insightful reportage is so full of personality and critical detail that whether he is looking at the astounding market crash of 1962, the collapse of a well-known brokerage firm, or the bold attempt by American bankers to save the British pound, one gets the sense that history really does repeat itself. This business classic written by longtime New Yorker contributor John Brooks is an insightful and engaging look into corporate and financial life in America.
Book Synopsis Adventure Finance by : Aunnie Patton Power
Download or read book Adventure Finance written by Aunnie Patton Power and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-05-28 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The venture capital model doesn’t work—at least not for 99% of startups and small businesses. In this 99% are a lot of companies with incredible potential: businesses headed by female founders and those from diverse racial backgrounds, organizations headquartered outside of venture capital hubs, and purpose-driven enterprises that are creating social and environmental impact alongside financial success. Counter to what the press-savvy venture capital world would have you believe, there are a lot of funding options out there for startups and small businesses. Adventure Finance is designed to help you understand some of these options, and walk you through real examples of how other founders and funders have put them to use. In simple, approachable language, the book breaks down the different types of funding options available from revenue-based financing to recoverable grants to redeemable equity to distributed ownership and more. Through a mix of storytelling and frameworks, based on a decade of research and experience in investing in early-stage companies, this book will give you the ability to determine how each of these structures can contribute to your own funding journey. The goal for this book is to shift the conversation about startup funding and help founders and funders widen the spectrum of “mainstream” investment options in order to make the venture financing world more inclusive and purpose-driven.
Download or read book The New Builders written by Seth Levine and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2021-05-04 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite popular belief to the contrary, entrepreneurship in the United States is dying. It has been since before the Great Recession of 2008, and the negative trend in American entrepreneurship has been accelerated by the Covid pandemic. New firms are being started at a slower rate, are employing fewer workers, and are being formed disproportionately in just a few major cities in the U.S. At the same time, large chains are opening more locations. Companies such as Amazon with their "deliver everything and anything" are rapidly displacing Main Street businesses. In The New Builders, we tell the stories of the next generation of entrepreneurs -- and argue for the future of American entrepreneurship. That future lies in surprising places -- and will in particular rely on the success of women, black and brown entrepreneurs. Our country hasn't yet even recognized the identities of the New Builders, let alone developed strategies to support them. Our misunderstanding is driven by a core misperception. Consider a "typical" American entrepreneur. Think about the entrepreneur who appears on TV, the business leader making headlines during the pandemic. Think of the type of businesses she or he is building, the college or business school they attended, the place they grew up. The image you probably conjured is that of a young, white male starting a technology business. He's likely in Silicon Valley. Possibly New York or Boston. He's self-confident, versed in the ins and outs of business funding and has an extensive (Ivy League?) network of peers and mentors eager to help his business thrive, grow and make millions, if not billions. You’d think entrepreneurship is thriving, and helping the United States maintain its economic power. You'd be almost completely wrong. The dominant image of an entrepreneur as a young white man starting a tech business on the coasts isn't correct at all. Today's American entrepreneurs, the people who drive critical parts of our economy, are more likely to be female and non-white. In fact, the number of women-owned businesses has increased 31 times between 1972 and 2018 according to the Kauffman Foundation (in 1972, women-owned businesses accounted for just 4.6% of all firms; in 2018 that figure was 40%). The fastest-growing group of female entrepreneurs are women of color, who are responsible for 64% of new women-owned businesses being created. In a few years, we believe women will make up more than half of the entrepreneurs in America. The age of the average American entrepreneur also belies conventional wisdom: It's 42. The average age of the most successful entrepreneurs -- those in the top .01% in terms of their company's growth in the first five years -- is 45. These are the New Builders. Women, people of color, immigrants and people over 40. We're failing them. And by doing so, we are failing ourselves. In this book, you'll learn: How the definition of business success in America today has grown corporate and around the concepts of growth, size, and consumption. Why and how our collective understanding of "entrepreneurship" has dangerously narrowed. Once a broad term including people starting businesses of all types, entrepreneurship has come to describe only the brash technology founders on the way to becoming big. Who are the fastest growing groups of entrepreneurs? What are they working on? What drives them? The real engine that drove Silicon Valley’s entrepreneurs. The government had a much bigger role than is widely known The extent to which entrepreneurs and small businesses are woven through our history, and the ways we have forgotten women and people of color who owned small businesses in the past. How we're increasingly afraid to fail The role small businesses are playing saving the wilderness, small towns and redlined communities What we can do to turn the decline in entrepreneurship around, especially be supporting the people who are courageously starting small companies today.

Download or read book Freddie and Billie's New Business Adventure written by Paul B. Silverman and published by . This book was released on 2020-04-20 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Doc Larsen Business Adventure Series draws upon the author's corporate management experience, teaching entrepreneurship and management at three universities, publication of two entrepreneurship books and mentoring many new business managers. A portion of proceeds from book sales is being donated to several organizations committed to helping young entrepreneurs including Junior Achievement of America. So how do we educate and motivate young potential entrepreneurs, helping them understand how to plan, launch, and manage a new business? Empowering young adults with entrepreneurship skills helps them excel no matter what career path they pursue. Entrepreneurship programs teach students critical thinking, problem solving, creativity, teamwork, ethics, social responsibility and to plan, develop and launch a new business. But there are challenges. Young adults prefer stories to textbooks. Understandable, compared to action stories, business can be boring. But it doesn't have to be if we develop creative strategies to attract, motivate, and educate young adult readers. The author created the Doc Larsen Business Adventure Series to spur young adult interest in entrepreneurship, help them develop new business ideas and create a successful new business venture. The conversational style of Freddie and Billie's New Business Adventure targets young adults, providing a strong foundation to understand the challenges and solutions for creating a successful new venture. Using conversations and storytelling techniques, not academic lectures, and a light entertaining, highly readable, jargon-free style ensures Freddie and Billie's 'learn by doing' experience is shared with readers. Understanding how new ventures are developed typically demands a 'textbook' approach and this can be overwhelming. The author created the Business In A BoxTM system- a powerful, simple to understand tool to plan, launch and manage new ventures with seven integrated models offering a simplified process and powerful tool helping young adult entrepreneurs develop a new venture. The Story: Living near Long Island's south shore, Freddie Lampert and Billie Phillips were two high school seniors, spending all their spare time pursuing their favorite pastime, fishing. They had an idea for a new fishing jig- they designed it, built it, tested it, and it attracted more fish than any other jig. They knew they had a great idea. So now what? Many more questions than answers, clueless on where to start, and as they said, '... they knew zilch about business'. Both are older now, married with families, and co-founded a successful public software design company. They share their story on their teen age business journey, through a three-hour interview on a new TV show, Lessons For Young Entrepreneurs, describing their experience creating a new fishing jig business with the help of Dr. Ralph Larsen, or 'Doc', and his constant companion, Mitch, described as the 'droolingest' St. Bernard they ever saw, totally out of place on Long Island's south shore. The teens' journey with Doc's mentoring, starting with an idea and creating an exciting opportunity is shared with readers. So for a young entrepreneur like Freddie or Billie, thinking about a new business idea they want to pursue, maybe design a new kitchen tool, create a new pet accessory, or maybe develop a new fishing jig, and don't know where to start, or like the idea of 'doing your own thing', this book can help. Helping young entrepreneurs is why Freddie and Billie's New Business Adventure was written. And if their journey helps even one young entrepreneur say, 'I can do that', the author will have accomplished his mission.
