Everyone searches for success. While our ideas of success differ, a typical entrepreneur will define success in terms of accomplishing worthy goals—often accompanied by an improvement in their financial and social position. It is recognized in the business community that success is a direct result of passionate commitment, organized planning, constructive action and perseverance. However, by definition, the word BOOM suggests the creation of something BIG, immediate and successful! In addition, BOOM may also mean “increase” in economic terms, another typical measure of success. So what are your plans?

If you wish to mimic the actions that successful people like the CelebrityExperts® in this book take to make progress towards their goals, and also take advantage of their experiences, here is a good opportunity to understand their mindset – which often covers the “what to do” as well as the “what not to do.”
As you know, at times the latter is more important than the former. If you wish to create something BIG, immediate and successful, as well as to enjoy the “increase” you can create, you will find many pointers in this book. These CelebrityExperts® share their experiences and teachings thoughtfully. They can guide you “to the finish line” much faster than if you have to start your journey to success on your own.

“Efforts and courage are not enough without purpose and direction.”
~ John F. Kennedy

Every customer oriented business has its own Gladys; someone who demands more than most companies are able or willing to give, one who pushes front line service representatives’ buttons, one who requires a higher degree of skill to manage. One who let’s just say it can be difficult. Yet how is it that some businesses prove able not only to satisfy their ‘Gladys’, but turn her into one of their most loyal, utterly pleased customers? Filled with inspiring real-life case studies, “Who’s Your Gladys?” reveals how large and small companies from a variety of industries avoid creating difficult customers in the first place.

Your life’s work is too important to simply begrudge and endure.

A business parable for the ages, Hallelujah! will help you to “hear the music” at work and to believe in the dignity of life’s labors. When Susan is unexpectedly promoted to store manager, productivity falls, tension rises, and the best employees begin to leave. Soon, Susan becomes bitter and cynical about the job she used to love. But when Susan takes a friend’s suggestion and joins a local choir, she learns more about compassion, humility, and everyday grace—and she begins to transform her job into a place of purposeful work. Hallelujah An Anthem for Purposeful Work takes business parables in a different and beautiful direction. The main narrative is driven by believable characters, simple presentation, and situations that anyone could realistically encounter. The narrative is wrapped up by a series of Testaments, or statements of principle aimed at helping readers to bring purpose into their own work and lives.

The parable, while a fictional story, is based on the leadership lessons exhibited in a very real church choir based in Louisville, KY. The Chancel Choir at Christ Church United Methodist, led by Dan Stokes, practices the lessons in Hallelujah! each week.

Myths & Mortals provides insights and strategies for successors of family businesses. Successors often find themselves in the shadow of their parents making it difficult to establish credibility in the family business and tap into their own strengths. The stress of emulating a parent begins to clash with who they are and who they want to be as a leader.

Written by internationally known business strategist and succession planning expert Andrew Keyt, this guide shows you how to establish credibility, take your place at the head of the table, and run your business your way. In groundbreaking research, Keyt interviewed more than 25 successors of family business legends including Massimo Ferragamo, Bill Wrigley Jr., Christie Hefner, and John Tyson to find out how they overcame the challenges successors commonly face. The analysis from that study formed the basis for the strategies presented here—to help you win the loyalty of those stuck in the old way of doing business and still focused on their former leader’s vision. You’ll learn how to take charge without sacrificing your own leadership style and how to get everyone on board with your vision for the business.

Growing up in the shadow of legendary family business leaders creates a unique challenge for successors to the leadership position. You cannot remove the emotional power of family dynamics from the business, but you can change how you choose to react to it. To be successful, you need to create a sense of identity and credibility, and step out of the shadows of your forbears. This guide provides strategies for doing just that, so you can take the reins and be the effective leader your business needs.

Would You Buy from You? Many people cannot answer this question or struggle with it only to find that their best response is a “maybe” or “uhhh I guess” or the noncommittal “it depends.” Huh? If You Would Not Buy from You, why would anyone else buy from you? The answer is simple. They will not and would not. This book helps us think in deep ways (EX: understanding your own and another’s worldview or WHY) yet can be read in a few hours. The book blends traditional and modern communication principles and explains how to achieve sales success in a noisy and short attention span world. Our world is constantly connected and overloaded with more information that can be consumed. We are stimulated by multimedia every waking minute. So, what do we do? We buy from people who are like us and who we understand. And from people who can clearly articulate their message in an authentic way with passion. We purchase from those who are creative and we deem as providing real value. We buy from people we TRUST. Our brand (indeed) makes the difference between (success or failure) in our sales and marketing efforts in 2015 and beyond. This book is broken into three main sections (that build on each other) and can be remembered with the acronym “CUB”. C is for Constantly Connected (modern world we live in); U is for an Under the Iceberg Mindset (below the surface level thinking); and B is for your Brand (our DNA that makes us unique). Only YOU can be YOU and this book shows you how to use this to your advantage and consistently add value in all that you sell and market. Thus, you will learn the difference in selling on “price” and selling value. Price is price. Value= Price +Goods/Services + YOU. After reading this book, the question changes to: “Why Would You Not Buy from You?”
