How to Succeed in Starting Your Own Business: A No-Fail Plan for Achieving Financial Freedom How to Finish Rich $15.98 I, Spiros, G. Raftis, at age 26, started a manufacturing business because I was fired. I had no business plan, no real product, and more importantly, very little money -I was devastated. I had devoted maximum effort, abilities, and long hours as a salesman for the owners of the company; in fact, I bought shares. I was an owner and was fired. My decision to start my own business was to: PREVENT GETTING RIPPED OFF AGAIN. I was convinced I could do it. OWNING YOUR OWN BUSINESS AFFORDS THE ONLY OPPORTUNITY OF BEING DIRECTLY REWARDED - THE MAXIMUM RETURN OF ONE'S ABILTIY. I wrote this book to share practical advice with anyone starting a business. This is a no-nonsense book with non-MA-theories. More practical advise than theory. Most of the messages, lessons, and Chapters within are my experiences. I did not anticipate most of these events. I know now going into business one will have to face most of what is written in these pages. For example, I thought after one year in business, getting a loan from a bank would be easy. Instead, I got a lesson from my banker. I still remember his words: "Spiros, if something happens to you, how does the bank get back the money it loaned you for your valve business? The bank does not want to run a valve company." The pages repeat ideas that have been proven to be valuable for anyone seeking success in starting a business. It is a must-read, must-buy book. |

The Starting Block $16.48 Swimming runs in the Livingstone family, so to speak. And to sixteen-year-old Teddy Livingstone, as he follows in the wake of his two older brothers, life often seems more like a relay race than even he would like. There is no doubt who anchors that relay. His oldest brother, Chip, a senior in high school, is the fastest of the boys in the water, as seems only right. Billy is the in-between brother: not the youngest, not the fastest. But Teddy is in between in his own way. "The Starting Block" tells the story of the first of three big swimming meets in the suburbs of 1967 Pittsburgh that make the brothers rivals and teammates at the same time. The events of that crucial swimming season forces Teddy to choose which of his brothers to forgive-Billy for losing or Chip for winning. Those months hold events for Teddy besides the hundred free. He falls in love for the first time, he learns to drive, and he has a falling out with his best friend. All along he has to figure out how to think about girls, if your family can be your friends, whether love can be won or lost like a race. It helps Teddy to recount those events in his own way; he likes to think he is ghost writing his life. Sometimes he speaks in the first person; sometimes he prefers the distance of the third person. This method suits his divided self-torn between childhood and adulthood, between love and the illusion of love, but above all between brothers. Robert McCutcheon, a native of Pittsburgh, holds degrees in English literature from Duke, Oxford and Stanford. He lives in Elkins, West Virginia, and teaches at Davis & Elkins College, where he can be contacted most days at noon in the pool. |

Researching Your Own Practice $207.48 Central to caring professions such as teaching is the need to notice and be sensitive to the experiences of pupils and teachers. Starting from this position, Researching Your Own Practice demonstrates that in order to develop your professional practice you must first develop your own sensitivities and awareness. One must be attuned to fresh possibilities when they are needed and be alert to such a need through awareness of what is happening at any given time. By giving a full explanation of this theory and a guide to its implementation, this book provides a practical approach to becoming more methodical and systematic in professional development. It also gives the reader a basis for turning professional development into practitioner research, as well as giving advice on how noticing can be used to improve any research, or be used as a research paradigm in its own right. The discipline of noticing is a groundbreaking approach to professional development and research, based upon noticing a possibility for the future, noticing a possibility in the present moment and reflecting back on what has been noticed before in order to prepare for the future. John Mason, one of the discipline’s most authoritative exponents, provides us here with a clear, persuasive and practical guide to its understanding and implementation. |

Sleep at Your Own Speed $13.58 Butcher the Bar is the one-man band of Joel Nicholson, whose debut album can readily be summed up as a collection of songs greater than the sum of its parts. That may damn with faint praise, but Sleep at Your Own Speed, in its gentle blend of softly echoed vocals, guitar and other instruments, a bedroom recording par excellence, reminds one of nothing so much as the many albums released by Jim Rao aka Orange Cake Mix, each of which had its own calling card songs but which all tended to blend together as a blissfully sweet listen. That Nicholson has done the same here is no problem insofar as he’s nailed his approach very well — two songs that appeared on an earlier single, “Get Away” and “Leave This Town,” essentially set the dynamic for the album as a whole with little variation. Nicholson’s understated singing, hint-of-shoegaze playing, and general sonic envelopment are familiar approaches from any number of performers, and Sleep at Your Own Speed should best be characterized as an enjoyable starting point rather than as a release that fully stands out. Given time, he may well start releasing some truly striking performances, but for now he shows promise, and that is enough. ~ Ned Raggett, Rovi |

There’s a Business in Every Woman: A 7-Step Guide to Discovering, Starting, and Building the Business of Your Dreams $3.48 "Ann Holmes has created the perfect guide to help women turn their dreams into a reality." -Donna Mullen Good, CEO of the Center for Women & Enterprise If you’ve ever dreamed of starting your own business, or if you’ve ever wondered about how to build up the business you already run, but worry because you don’t have an MBA or a couple of years of college business courses, this book is for you. Based on extensive interviews with more than eighty women entrepreneurs from around the country, There’s a Business in Every Woman offers inspiring success stories (and instructive missteps) in a wide range of businesses-from catering, landscaping, personal training, and wedding and events planning to interior and clothing design, staffing, manufacturing, and product design. What the trailblazing women in this book have in common is a good idea and the courage to turn a dream into a money-making reality through hard work, passion, and drive. Take, for instance, the woman who started an IT consulting company in her basement and now has more than a thousand employees in three states; two jogging buddies who commiserated about their uncomfortable bras and went on to design and produce a jog bra, creating a company that Playtex ultimately bought for millions; the mom whose hand-made birthday-party invitations made such a splash that she launched her own custom party invitation company, which she expanded to include holiday cards, gift tags, bags, and more; the sixty-five-year-old corporate wife and mother who applied her domestic talents to opening a profitable B&B; the twenty-three-year-old who bought a fledging real estate franchise and now earns a healthy six figures annually. These success stories highlight the practical: focusing on what you’re good at; setting up your business properly-even if you are starting out from your basement or garage; getting financial backing when you need it; marketing your products with sizzle; networking like the "good old boys"; understanding how and when to diversify your products or services; managing your growth; and, most important, knowing what your company is worth and when it might be lucrative to cash out. An accessible crash course in starting and running your own business, There’s a Business in Every Woman" "will teach you everything you need to know to turn your pipedream into serious profits. |
