Title: Good Profit: How Creating Value for Others Built One of the World's Most Successful Companies Author: Charles G. Koch Narrator: Charles G.

Koch’s name may not be on your home’s plywood, vehicle’s grille, smartphone’s connectors, or baby’s ultra-absorbent diapers but it makes them all. And Koch’s Market-Based Management® (MBM) system is what drives these innovations and many more.     The core objective of MBM is to generate good profit. Good profit results from products and services that customers vote for freely with their dollars. It results from a bottom-up culture where employees are empowered to act entrepreneurially to discover customers’ preferences and the best ways to improve their lives. Drawing on six decades of interdisciplinary studies, experimental discovery, and practical implementation across Koch businesses worldwide, Charles Koch walks the reader through the five dimensions of MBM to show how to apply its framework in any business, industry, or organization of any size. Readers will learn how to:     • Craft a vision for how to thrive in spite of increasingly rapid disruption and ever-changing consumer values  • Select and retain a workforce possessing both virtue and talent  • Create an environment of knowledge sharing that prizes respectful challenges from everyone at every level  • Award employees with ownership and decision rights based on their comparative advantages and proven contributions, not job title  • Motivate all employees to maximize their contributions by structuring incentives so compensation is limited only by the value they create    A must-read for any leader, entrepreneur, or student, as well as anyone who wants a more civil, fair, and prosperous society, Good Profit is one of the greatest management books of all time.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/244866Tue, 13 Oct 2015 01:52:54 +0000Nikko GorczanyPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/244866 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Lead More, Control Less: 8 Advanced Leadership Skills That Overturn Convention Author: Marvin R. Weisbord, Sandra Janoff Narrator: Anna Crowe Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 45 minutes Release date: October 12, 2015 Genres: Career Development Publisher's Summary: Leading experts Marvin Weisbord and Sandra Janoff describe eight highly effective leadership skills that confound conventional views-you can be a more effective leader if you give up trying to change or control people. Leadership experts Marvin Weisbord and Sandra Janoff make a bold claim: contrary to conventional management theory, you actually gain more control when you exert less pressure on those you lead-which also means less stress for you. Working with people all over the world, Weisbord and Janoff realized that leaders trying to tell their people what to do, the traditional approach, wasn't' working. It was far more effective for leaders to nurture and guide people's ability to lead and control themselves. Over time, they developed three alternative principles which form the foundation of this book: 1) Have people build on their own experiences instead of pushing for yours; 2) Set things up so that people coordinate and control their own work rather that you doing it for them; and 3) Change the conditions under which people interact rather than try to change the people. This book describes eight essential leadership skills that put these principles into practice. It shows leaders how to let go of the unrealistic demands that they put on themselves and the far-fetched expectations that others place on them. Leaders will discover how to wear authority lightly and control less while leading more.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/244687Mon, 12 Oct 2015 01:52:54 +0000Nikko GorczanyPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/244687 to listen full audiobooks.

We want to make a contribution, to be a part of something noble and purposeful. But many people wrongly believe significance is unattainable. They worry that it's too big for them to achieve.

And to do that, all you need to do is start. You can't make an impact sitting still and doing nothing. Every major accomplishment that's ever been achieved started with a first step.

When we own our stories, we get to write the ending. Don’t miss the five-part Max docuseries Brené Brown: Atlas of the Heart! Social scientist Brené Brown has ignited a global conversation on courage, vulnerability, shame, and worthiness. Her pioneering work uncovered a profound truth: Vulnerability—the willingness to show up and be seen with no guarantee of outcome—is the only path to more love, belonging, creativity, and joy. But living a brave life is not always easy: We are, inevitably, going to stumble and fall. It is the rise from falling that Brown takes as her subject in Rising Strong. As a grounded theory researcher, Brown has listened as a range of people—from leaders in Fortune 500 companies and the military to artists, couples in long-term relationships, teachers, and parents—shared their stories of being brave, falling, and getting back up. She asked herself, What do these people with strong and loving relationships, leaders nurturing creativity, artists pushing innovation, and clergy walking with people through faith and mystery have in common? The answer was clear: They recognize the power of emotion and they’re not afraid to lean in to discomfort. Walking into our stories of hurt can feel dangerous. But the process of regaining our footing in the midst of struggle is where our courage is tested and our values are forged. Our stories of struggle can be big ones, like the loss of a job or the end of a relationship, or smaller ones, like a conflict with a friend or colleague. Regardless of magnitude or circumstance, the rising strong process is the same: We reckon with our emotions and get curious about what we’re feeling; we rumble with our stories until we get to a place of truth; and we live this process, every day, until it becomes a practice and creates nothing short of a revolution in our lives. Rising strong after a fall is how we cultivate wholeheartedness. It’s the process, Brown writes, that teaches us the most about who we are.

They’re the foundation of nearly everything of value in our world. They have the power to create, and the power to destroy. The power to inspire and to terrify. The power to enlighten, and also to obscure. And, more specifically for you, they have the power to attract wealth and success, and guarantee your brighter future. This is not hyperbole—it is based on rock solid research. Studies show that those people with large vocabularies are smarter, wealthier and happier than the average person—and substantially so. And here’s the best news of all, a large vocabulary is not tied to your social status, your genes or even your education level. It is a skill that can be learned—and it takes only 30 days. In this cutting-edge program, 30 Days To a More Powerful Vocabulary, personal development expert and English enthusiast, Dan Strutzel, will instruct, enlighten and inspire you with a concentrated 30-day program that will teach you over 500 words. But, more than teaching you these words, the uniquely designed morning and evening review sessions will ensure that these words become a habit-knit part of your life and with minimal effort on your part. Best of all, research shows that learning new words has an exponential effect on the size of your vocabulary since learning one word, naturally produces an association between two to three more words. In short, after listening to and applying the system in this 30-day program, you will not only have a bigger vocabulary—you will have a brighter future! Here’s just a sampling of what you’ll learn: • The ten myths about building a dynamic vocabulary. • The secret behind the exponential effect of vocabulary building. • A 30-day program designed to maximize learning and comprehension of over 500 words. • The words you need to know about money and financial issues. • The words you need to know about persuading others. • The words you need to know about marriage, parenting and other relationships. • The words you need to know about science. • The words you need to know to be a great conversationalist. • Why building a large, dynamic vocabulary is even more valuable in the digital age. • And much more!]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/241834Tue, 11 Aug 2015 01:52:54 +0000Nikko GorczanyPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/241834 to listen full audiobooks.

What hope will there be for us when computers can drive cars better than humans, predict Supreme Court decisions better than legal experts, identify faces, scurry helpfully around offices and factories, even perform some surgeries, all faster, more reliably, and less expensively than people? It’s easy to imagine a nightmare scenario in which computers simply take over most of the tasks that people now get paid to do. While we’ll still need high-level decision makers and computer developers, those tasks won’t keep most working-age people employed or allow their living standard to rise. The unavoidable question—will millions of people lose out, unable to best the machine?—is increasingly dominating business, education, economics, and policy. The bestselling author of Talent Is Overrated explains how the skills the economy values are changing in historic ways. The abilities that will prove most essential to our success are no longer the technical, classroom-taught left-brain skills that economic advances have demanded from workers in the past. Instead, our greatest advantage lies in what we humans are most powerfully driven to do for and with one another, arising from our deepest, most essentially human abilities—empathy, creativity, social sensitivity, storytelling, humor, building relationships, and expressing ourselves with greater power than logic can ever achieve. This is how we create durable value that is not easily replicated by technology—because we’re hardwired to want it from humans. These high-value skills create tremendous competitive advantage—more devoted customers, stronger cultures, breakthrough ideas, and more effective teams. And while many of us regard these abilities as innate traits—“he’s a real people person,” “she’s naturally creative”—it turns out they can all be developed. They’re already being developed in a range of far-sighted organizations, such as: • the Cleveland Clinic, which emphasizes empathy training of doctors and all employees to improve patient outcomes and lower medical costs; • the U.S. Army, which has revolutionized its training to focus on human interaction, leading to stronger teams and greater success in real-world missions; • Stanford Business School, which has overhauled its curriculum to teach interpersonal skills through human-to-human experiences. As technology advances, we shouldn’t focus on beating computers at what they do—we’ll lose that contest. Instead, we must develop our most essential human abilities and teach our kids to value not just technology but also the richness of interpersonal experience. They will be the most valuable people in our world because of it. Colvin proves that to a far greater degree than most of us ever imagined, we already have what it takes to be great.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/237436Tue, 04 Aug 2015 01:52:54 +0000Nikko GorczanyPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/237436 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Busy: How to Thrive in a World of Too Much Author: Tony Crabbe Narrator: Tony Crabbe Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 30 minutes Release date: July 7, 2015 Genres: Career Development Publisher's Summary: Business psychologist Tony Crabbe outlines a unique three-step approach to combating one of the modern life's great problems: being too busy.   So many people feel far too busy—unable to work properly on the things that are important to them and stuck in a rut. This book, written by a well-connected business psychologist, puts that feeling in context and provides practical solutions for people to become happier, more motivated and more successful. If you want to take control of your career—and your life—make sure you're not too busy to read to this book. Today's world is one of too much: too much work to do, too much communication, too much competition, too much uncertainty and too much information. We are striving to keep up, but inevitably we're falling behind, leaving us with a nagging sense of failure that is hard to shake off. In Busy, Tony Crabbe debunks the myth that satisfaction at work comes from getting everything done. Instead, he demonstrates that what will enable you to thrive is regaining a sense of mastery over your life, focusing on making an impact, engaging with loved ones and creating the momentum necessary to make changes.   Busy is divided into three digestible sections—Mastery, Differentiation, and Engagement—that will teach readers how to switch from managing time to managing attention, how to transition toward a career strategy that doesn't hinge on productivity, how to think differently about success by re-engaging with what matters, and how to create the impetus, energy, and clarity to put all these changes into effect. Crabbe draws on entertaining psychological studies to show why we're getting it wrong at the moment and to develop a fresh new approach to taking back one's life from chaotic outside forces.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/236757Tue, 07 Jul 2015 01:52:54 +0000Nikko GorczanyPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/236757 to listen full audiobooks.

'Thought-provoking and practical ... Good advice based on sound neuroscientific principles' Sunday Times In The Organized Mind, New York Times and Sunday Times bestselling author and neuroscientist Daniel Levitin offers solutions for the problems of information overload. Overwhelmed by demands on your time? Baffled by the sheer volume of data? You're not alone. Even the smartest mind can't beat the organized mind - when we're unable to make sense of it all, our creativity plummets, our decision making suffers and we grow absent-minded.

Title: Measuring Happiness: The Economics of Well-Being Author: Ronnie Schöb, Andreas Knabe, Joachim Weimann Narrator: Steven Menasche Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 15 minutes Release date: July 1, 2015 Genres: Career Development Publisher's Summary: Can money buy happiness? Is income a reliable measure for life satisfaction? In the West after World War II, happiness seemed inextricably connected to prosperity. Beginning in the 1960s, however, other values began to gain ground: peace, political participation, civil rights, environmentalism. 'Happiness economics' -- a somewhat incongruous-sounding branch of what has been called 'the dismal science' -- has taken up the puzzle of what makes people happy, conducting elaborate surveys in which people are asked to quantify their satisfaction with 'life in general.' In this book, three economists explore the happiness-prosperity connection, investigating how economists measure life satisfaction and well-being. The authors examine the evolution of happiness research, considering the famous 'Easterlin Paradox,' which found that people's average life satisfaction didn't seem to depend on their income. But they question whether happiness research can measure what needs to be measured. They argue that we should not assess people's well-being on a 'happiness scale,' because that necessarily obscures true social progress. Instead, rising income should be understood as increasing opportunities and alleviating scarcity. Economic growth helps societies to sustain freedom and to finance social welfare programs. In this respect, high income may not buy happiness with life in general, but it gives individuals the opportunity to be healthier, better educated, better clothed, and better fed, to live longer, and to live well.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/240785Wed, 01 Jul 2015 01:52:54 +0000Nikko GorczanyPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/240785 to listen full audiobooks.

At the heart of “Acres of Diamonds” is a parable Conwell heard while traveling through the Middle East in 1870. It is a story about a Persian farmer named Ali Hafed, who wasted his life searching, in vain, for diamonds that would make him rich, never knowing that the farmland he had abandoned would produce some of the most valuable diamonds ever found, that would adorn the crowns of Europe’s kings and queens.

Acres of Diamonds, Russell Conwell’s famous motivational speech, is narrated by Denis Waitley, who offers his own observations at the conclusion of the program as to why we need to search for our own “acres of diamonds” in our own backyards; the backyards of our minds, where our core values and beliefs are stored.

Balancing work and family life is a constant struggle, especially for women with children and ambitious career goals. It’s been the subject of countless books, articles, blog posts and tweets in the last few years, and passions run high in all directions. Now Laura Vanderkam, the acclaimed time management expert, comes at the “having it all” debate by asking a very practical question. Given that we all have the same 168 hours every week, how do people who do have it all—women with thriving careers and families—use those hours? When you study how such women fit together the pieces of their lives, like tiles in a mosaic, the results are surprising. If you work 40 hours and sleep 56 (i.e. 8 times 7) that leaves 72 hours for everything else. Vanderkam explains how her subjects use those “everything else” hours; why we work less and have more free time than we think; why it’s a myth that successful women get too little sleep; and how women can have demanding jobs, spouses, and kids, and still enjoy a healthy amount of downtime. She shares the time-logs from 1001 days in the lives of women who make at least $100,000 a year and still make time for their families and friends, for sleep and exercise, and for leisure activities they love. Based on what she learned from the patterns in those time-logs, she provides a framework for anyone who wants to thrive at both work and life.

The next Bill Gates will not build an operating system. The next Larry Page or Sergey Brin won’t make a search engine. If you are copying these guys, you aren’t learning from them. It’s easier to copy a model than to make something new: doing what we already know how to do takes the world from 1 to n, adding more of something familiar. Every new creation goes from 0 to 1. This book is about how to get there. ‘Peter Thiel has built multiple breakthrough companies, and Zero to One shows how.’ ELON MUSK, CEO of SpaceX and Tesla ‘This book delivers completely new and refreshing ideas on how to create value in the world.’ MARK ZUCKERBERG, CEO of Facebook ‘When a risk taker writes a book, read it. In the case of Peter Thiel, read it twice. Or, to be safe, three times. This is a classic.’ NASSIM NICHOLAS TALEB, author of The Black Swan]]>305cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/negotiation-genius-how-to-overcome-obstacles-and-achieve-brilliant-results-at-the-bargaining-table-and-beyond-by-deepak-malhotra-max-bazer--65222162https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/233916 to listen full audiobooks.

Yes. Ours is an era of near constant discontinuity.

Triggers confronts head-on the challenges of behaviour and change, looking at the external factors (or 'triggers') - both negative and positive - that affect our behaviours, our awareness of when we need to change, our willingness (or otherwise) to do so and our ability to see the change through. Drawing on his unparalleled experience as an international executive educator and coach, Marshall Goldsmith invites us to understand how our own beliefs and the environments in which we operate can trigger negative behaviours, or a resistance to the need to change.

Title: Hidden Strengths: Unleashing the Crucial Leadership Skills You Already Have Author: Milo Sindell, Thuy Sindell Narrator: Caroline Miller Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 16 minutes Release date: May 18, 2015 Genres: Career Development Publisher's Summary: Books like StrengthsFinder 2.0 have helped leaders discover their strengths-but tend to stop there. Thuy and Milo Sindell argue that focusing only on our best abilities neglects a vital development opportunity. Inside every leader are 'middle skills,' hidden strengths that can be turned into full strengths with attention and focus. Discover Your Strengths and the StrengthsFinder titles-has resulted in a very one-dimensional model for leadership growth, say Thuy and Milo Sindell. Their research and work have shown that, like everyone, you have hidden, undeveloped strengths that, if identified and worked on, can expand your repertoire of skills, make you a better-balanced leader, and significantly improve performance. Everyone has what the Sindells call Default Skills, or obvious strengths; Deficient Skills, or weaknesses; and Hidden Strengths, or skills in the middle. Focusing only on Default Skills can lead to resting on your laurels. But trying to develop Deficient Skills isn't worth it. It takes too much time and effort to bring these skills up to speed-the ROI just isn't there. It's in the neglected middle skills that the most potent development opportunities lie. They're close enough to being strengths that working on them can offer a powerful payoff-they are Hidden Strengths. Using assessments, exercises, and case studies, the Sindells help you identify your most promising middle skills-your Hidden Strengths-and create a plan to turn them into full strengths. In today's work environment, not growing and stretching yourself translates into lack of innovation, stagnation, and obsolescence.

Title: Hidden Strengths: Unleashing the Crucial Leadership Skills You Already Have Author: Milo Sindell, Thuy Sindell Narrator: Caroline Miller Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 16 minutes Release date: May 18, 2015 Genres: Career Development Publisher's Summary: Books like StrengthsFinder 2.0 have helped leaders discover their strengths-but tend to stop there. Thuy and Milo Sindell argue that focusing only on our best abilities neglects a vital development opportunity. Inside every leader are 'middle skills,' hidden strengths that can be turned into full strengths with attention and focus. Discover Your Strengths and the StrengthsFinder titles-has resulted in a very one-dimensional model for leadership growth, say Thuy and Milo Sindell. Their research and work have shown that, like everyone, you have hidden, undeveloped strengths that, if identified and worked on, can expand your repertoire of skills, make you a better-balanced leader, and significantly improve performance. Everyone has what the Sindells call Default Skills, or obvious strengths; Deficient Skills, or weaknesses; and Hidden Strengths, or skills in the middle. Focusing only on Default Skills can lead to resting on your laurels. But trying to develop Deficient Skills isn't worth it. It takes too much time and effort to bring these skills up to speed-the ROI just isn't there. It's in the neglected middle skills that the most potent development opportunities lie. They're close enough to being strengths that working on them can offer a powerful payoff-they are Hidden Strengths. Using assessments, exercises, and case studies, the Sindells help you identify your most promising middle skills-your Hidden Strengths-and create a plan to turn them into full strengths. In today's work environment, not growing and stretching yourself translates into lack of innovation, stagnation, and obsolescence. Relying upon strengths is like relying upon training wheels-at a certain point you need to take them off improve and grow.]]>185cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/how-successful-people-win-turn-every-setback-into-a-step-forward-by-john-c-maxwell--65222183https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/231080 to listen full audiobooks.

Maxwell can teach you how to turn any situation into a winning experience. No one wins at everything they try. But any setback, whether professional or personal, can become a step forward with the right tools and mindset to turn loss into a gain. Drawing on nearly 50 years of leadership experience, Maxwell provides a roadmap for winning by examining the eleven elements that constitute the 'DNA' of people who succeed in the face of problems, failure, and losses.

With compelling stories and examples and an engaging way of comparing and contrasting two very different cultures and value systems, Robert shares the challenges he faced in transitioning to civilian life: where chain of command and team-over-self—once so black and white—were muddy and distorted.

By implementing sweeping changes, businesses often think it’s possible to do better, to earn more, and have happier employees. So why does engagement prove so difficult and productivity so elusive? In Beyond Measure, Margaret Heffernan looks back over her decades spent overseeing different organizations and comes to a counterintuitive conclusion: it’s the small shifts that have the greatest impact. Heffernan argues that building the strongest organization can be accelerated by implementing seemingly small changes, such as embracing conflict as a creative catalyst; using every mind on the team; celebrating mistakes; speaking up and listening more; and encouraging time off from work. Packed with incredible anecdotes and startling statistics, Beyond Measure takes us on a fascinating tour across the globe, highlighting disparate businesses and revealing how they’ve managed to change themselves in big ways through incremental shifts. How did the CIA revolutionize their intelligence gathering with one simple question? How did one organization increase their revenue by $15 million by instituting a short coffee break? How can a day-long hackathon change the culture of a company? Told with wry wit and knowing humor, Heffernan proves that it’s often the small changes that make the greatest, most lasting impact.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/231948Tue, 05 May 2015 01:52:54 +0000Nikko GorczanyPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/231948 to listen full audiobooks.

It’s the perfect solution for the millions of readers who love all things Freakonomics. Surprising and erudite, eloquent and witty, When to Rob a Bank demonstrates the brilliance that has made the Freakonomics guys an international sensation, with more than 7 million books sold in 40 languages, and 150 million downloads of their Freakonomics Radio podcast. When Freakonomics was first published, the authors started a blog—and they’ve kept it up. The writing is more casual, more personal, even more outlandish than in their books. In When to Rob a Bank, they ask a host of typically off-center questions: Why don’t flight attendants get tipped? If you were a terrorist, how would you attack? And why does KFC always run out of fried chicken? Over the past decade, Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner have published more than 8,000 blog posts on the Freakonomics website. Many of them, they freely admit, were rubbish. But now they’ve gone through and picked the best of the best. You’ll discover what people lie about, and why; the best way to cut gun deaths; why it might be time for a sex tax; and, yes, when to rob a bank. (Short answer: never; the ROI is terrible.)

Ten years ago, Fredrik Eklund moved to New York City from his native Sweden with nothing but a pair of worn-out sneakers and a dream: to make it big in the city that never sleeps. Since then, he’s become the top seller in the most competitive real estate market on the planet, brokering multimillion-dollar deals for celebrities, selling out properties all over the city, and charming audiences around the world as one of the stars of the hit Bravo series Million Dollar Listing New York. Now, for the first time, Fredrik shares his secrets so that anyone can find success doing what they love. According to Fredrik, even if you don’t consider yourself a salesperson, you’ve been in sales your whole life because every day you are selling your most important asset: yourself. Whenever you influence, persuade or convince someone to give you something in exchange for what you’ve got—whether it’s a luxury home, a great idea at work, or your profile on Match.com—you are selling. And if you know how to sell the right way, you can live your dream. That is what The Sell is all about.  Blending personal stories, hilarious anecdotes, and the expertise he’s gained from his meteoric rise, Fredrik has written the modern guide on becoming successful, a book that tells you how to recognize and cultivate your true talents and make the ultimate sell. From the importance of being your most authentic self to looking like a million bucks even if you don’t have a million bucks (yet!), he shows how intangible factors like personality and charm can get you noticed and make you shine. He also shares his tips and tricks for preparing, persuading, and negotiating so that in any of life’s dealings, you’ll come out a winner.

From Academy Award–winning producer Brian Grazer, New York Times bestseller A Curious Mind offers a brilliant peek into the “curiosity conversations” that inspired him to create some of the world’s most iconic movies and television shows.

Title: Confronting Capitalism: Real Solutions for a Troubled Economic System Author: Philip Kotler Narrator: Jeff Cummings Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 57 minutes Release date: April 7, 2015 Genres: Career Development Publisher's Summary: With the fall of the Berlin Wall, one economic model emerged triumphant. Capitalism—spanning a spectrum from laissez faire to authoritarian—shapes the market economies of all the wealthiest and fastest growing nations. But trouble is cracking its shiny veneer. In the US, economic growth is no longer matched by economic development. Wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few, natural resources are exploited for short-term profits, and good jobs are hard to find. With a piercing clarity, Philip Kotler explains 14 major problems undermining capitalism, including: persistent poverty, job creation in the face of automation, high debt burdens, the disproportionate influence of the wealthy on public policy, steep environmental costs, boom-bust economic cycles, and more. Amidst its dire assessment of what’s ailing us, Confronting Capitalism delivers a heartening message: we can turn things around. Movements toward shared prosperity and a higher purpose are reinvigorating companies large and small, while proposals abound on government policies that offer protections without stagnation. Kotler identifies the best ideas, linking private and public initiatives into a force for positive change. Combining economic history, expert insight, business lessons, and recent data, this landmark audiobook elucidates today’s critical dilemmas and suggests solutions for returning to a healthier, more sustainable path.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/230488Tue, 07 Apr 2015 01:52:54 +0000Nikko GorczanyPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/230488 to listen full audiobooks.

To effectively lead an organization, bestselling author Mark Miller says, you have to play chess, not checkers. He shows how this mentality enables you to marshal all your available resources, including every employee, to strategically address challenges and opportunities. In his latest business fable, top leadership author Mark Miller tells the story of newly appointed CEO Blake Brown, who takes over a company distressed by poor performance and low morale. Nothing Blake learned from his previous job seems to help him deal with the bigger, more complex problems he now faces. The game has changed. As his new mentor points out, Blake is playing a simple game of checkers when he should be playing chess. Miller uses this metaphor to show how leaders can encourage deep, strategic thinking throughout an organization and utilize the unique abilities of each employee (bishops move differently than knights). He explains how to apply the 'chess not checkers' mentality in four critical areas: leadership development, employee engagement, organizational alignment, and execution. This is an appealing, accessible guide to helping all leaders think ahead, plan their moves, and avoid getting checkmated by circumstances or competitors.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/241822Mon, 06 Apr 2015 01:52:54 +0000Nikko GorczanyPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/241822 to listen full audiobooks.

The key, according to Paul B. Brown, is to think like an entrepreneur, no matter what your position or industry. What works for the most successful entrepreneurs will work for us, Brown argues, whether we want to stay employed working for someone else or are thinking of going off on our own. Based on extensive research, Entrepreneurship for the Rest of Us reveals the best practices of the most successful entrepreneurs, those who are adept at continually innovating and seeing opportunity where others do not. They do that by following a rigid approach. For example: They never start with a new idea, but by trying to solve a market need. Financing is an afterthought. They get started with the resources at hand (not only does that allow them to move quickly, if things don’t work out, they are not out much). Perfect is the enemy of good, it is much more important to get out into the marketplace with a prototype than to keep fiddling with what you have. In short, the entrepreneurial mindset is a protection against economic uncertainty, and Brown’s goal is to spread that thinking to individuals and large organizations alike. Though of course we won’t all start or run our own companies, we need to learn to think like entrepreneurs so that when uncertainty hits, as it will again and again, individuals and companies will be better prepared to not only survive but win.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/230157Wed, 01 Apr 2015 01:52:54 +0000Nikko GorczanyPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/230157 to listen full audiobooks.

When Bachelder was named CEO of Popeyes in the fall of 2007, guest visits had been declining for years, restaurant sales and profit trends were negative, and the company stock price had dropped from $34 in 2002 to $13. The brand was stagnant, and relations between the company and its franchise owners were strained. By 2014, average restaurant sales were up 25 percent, and profits were up 40 percent. Popeyes' market share had grown from 14 percent to 21 percent, and the stock price was over $40. The franchisees were so pleased with the turnaround that they began reinvesting in the brand, rapidly remodeling restaurants, and building new units around the world. The difference maker, Bachelder says, was a conscious decision to lead in a new way. She and her team created a workplace where people were treated with respect and dignity yet challenged to perform at the highest level. Silos and self were set aside in favor of collaboration and team play. And the results were measured with rigor and discipline. Servant leadership is sometimes derided as soft or ineffective, but this book shows that it's actually challenging and tough minded—a daring path. Bachelder takes you firsthand through the transformation of Popeyes and shows how a leader at any level can become a Dare-to-Serve leader.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/231076Wed, 01 Apr 2015 01:52:54 +0000Nikko GorczanyPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/231076 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: How to Take Your Business Global Author: Dolf de Roos Narrator: Dolf de Roos Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 22 minutes Release date: April 1, 2015 Genres: Career Development Publisher's Summary: You’ve probably heard the often quoted statistic about entrepreneurial businesses: “95% of all new businesses will fail in their first five years.” However, what you probably don’t know is that, of those businesses that last past five years, the vast majority of those will fail in the next five years after that! Why is this? Pure and simple competition. In a world where it is easier than ever before to start a business in the U.S., it takes little time for a competitor to enter your field and reduce your market share. What’s the answer to this problem? According to global entrepreneur and legendary real estate investor, Dolf De Roos, the answer is to take your business global! And before you say, “my business is too small,” “my business can’t be exported,” or “that’s just too complicated and difficult,” take the time to listen to this extraordinary program and let Dolf dispel you of all of these myths. Having traveled and done business in over 100 countries, and having attended school in six countries, lived in four, and speaking six languages, there is no one more qualified to teach you the skill of taking your business global than Dolf De Roos. Dolf will show you how learning this one skill alone can do more than anything else to take your business to the next level, since you immediately reduce the amount of competition you face, expose your product or service to a huge new customer base, and add a level of credibility to your business for your domestic customer base. And with the internet and 24/7 digital connectivity, going global has never been easier and less costly. In this program, you’ll learn: *The best countries, outside the U.S., in which to do business; *The steps you need to take to see if going global is right for you; *Why doing business abroad can actually be easier than doing business in the U.S. *How technology has made it easier to run a global business, while residing in the U.S. *Why Global Entrepreneurs are the highest paid, and most successful entrepreneurs.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/230790Wed, 01 Apr 2015 01:52:54 +0000Nikko GorczanyPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/230790 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: How To Think Like a Wealthy Person Author: Dolf de Roos Narrator: Dolf de Roos Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 47 minutes Release date: April 1, 2015 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.33 of Total 3 Genres: Career Development Publisher's Summary: Dolf De Roos, the best-selling author of Real Estate Riches and The Wealth Magnet, made an amazing discovery: when he began teaching his real estate students the foundational beliefs that all rich people share, his students success rate in real estate went from 5% to over 80%! Now, in this all-new program How To Think Like a Wealthy Person, Dolf steps outside of his role as an international real estate investor and global entrepreneur to teach you how to develop a wealthy person’s mindset. The result is a transformational audio experience that you’ll never forget. You’ll learn to let go of destructive beliefs like “Money is the root of all evil,” “Money can’t buy you happiness,” “Rich people get wealthy at the expense of the poor,” and “Rich people are‘filthy rich’” and replace them with empowering beliefs like, “Money gives me choices,” “I will make a ton of money, have fun doing it and be generous with it,” and more. You’ll learn the critical difference between an abundance mentality and a scarcity mentality—and how to develop and apply an abundance mentality right away. You’ll learn why many wealthy people choose entrepreneurship as their path to success. And you’ll set some powerful goals to join the ranks of the wealthy and even more important to stay there. You’ll discover how your newfound “abundance mentality” will make every aspect of your life richer—you’ll discover more opportunities to create value, to make contributions to others, and to express gratitude for the abundance you already have in your life. In fact, after listening to just the first two sessions, you’ll already feel richer, before you have even begun to attract that wealth which will inevitably be yours!]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/230789Wed, 01 Apr 2015 01:52:54 +0000Nikko GorczanyPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/230789 to listen full audiobooks.

The problem, says Helene Lerner, isn't so much that women lack confidence but that they misunderstand what confidence really is. True confidence isn't fearlessness; it's having the courage to jump in even when your knees are shaking. Any woman who waits until she feels 100 percent confident before offering a big idea or asking for a raise or promotion will never get anywhere. Drawing on her own and other female leaders' experiences, as well as on her survey of over 500 working women, Lerner lays out practical strategies for beating this confidence myth and overcoming obstacles like gender bias.

It’s estimated that two-thirds of the nation’s wealth will be in women’s hands by 2030. Never before have women been so degreed or so represented as decision-makers in all areas of influence. Why, then, are women withdrawing from leadership positions in unprecedented numbers? Why has the tally of women in middle management reached a plateau? The traditional path to leadership in Western culture was forged by men. This linear, head-down, forward-at-all-costs method doesn’t work for women, who define success in more holistic terms, seeking both personal and professional fulfillment. Wendy Wallbridge recognizes this unmet need of professional women for an alternative path to success, and her new book, Spiraling Upward: 5 Co-Creative Powers for Women on the Rise, offers the solution. Using her tried and true “Spiral Up” method, Wallbridge teaches women to cultivate the five co-creative powers of energy, thoughts, feelings, speech, and action. This method encourages each reader to create a fulfilling life aligned with her own gifts and callings. Complete with easy-to-follow steps and exercises, as well as inspiring stories of thirty successful women, this book offers a cogent, step-by-step roadmap for professional women to unlock their power and achieve success on their own terms.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/231963Wed, 01 Apr 2015 01:52:54 +0000Nikko GorczanyPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/231963 to listen full audiobooks.

From handling the tooth fairy, to tips on allowance, chores, charity, checking accounts, and part-time jobs, this engaging and important book is a must-read for parents.” — Gretchen Rubin, author of The Happiness Project In the spirit of Wendy Mogel’s The Blessing of a Skinned Knee and Po Bronson and Ashley Merryman’s Nurture Shock, New York Times “Your Money” columnist Ron Lieber delivers a taboo-shattering manifesto that explains how talking openly to children about money can help parents raise modest, patient, grounded young adults who are financially wise beyond their years. For Ron Lieber, a personal finance columnist and father, good parenting means talking about money with our kids. Children are hyper-aware of money, and they have scores of questions about its nuances. But when parents shy away from the topic, they lose a tremendous opportunity—not just to model the basic financial behaviors that are increasingly important for young adults but also to imprint lessons about what the family truly values. Written in a warm, accessible voice, grounded in real-world experience and stories from families with a range of incomes, The Opposite of Spoiled is both a practical guidebook and a values-based philosophy. The foundation of the book is a detailed blueprint for the best ways to handle the basics: the tooth fairy, allowance, chores, charity, saving, birthdays, holidays, cell phones, checking accounts, clothing, cars, part-time jobs, and college tuition. It identifies a set of traits and virtues that embody the opposite of spoiled, and shares how to embrace the topic of money to help parents raise kids who are more generous and less materialistic. But The Opposite of Spoiled is also a promise to our kids that we will make them better with money than we are. It is for all of the parents who know that honest conversations about money with their curious children can help them become more patient and prudent, but who don’t know how and when to start.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/226462Tue, 03 Feb 2015 01:52:54 +0000Nikko GorczanyPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/226462 to listen full audiobooks.

Renowned negotiation expert William Ury has taught tens of thousands of people from all walks of life—managers, lawyers, factory workers, coal miners, schoolteachers, diplomats, and government officials—how to become better negotiators. Over the years, Ury has discovered that the greatest obstacle to successful agreements and satisfying relationships is not the other side, as difficult as they can be. The biggest obstacle is actually our own selves—our natural tendency to react in ways that do not serve our true interests. But this obstacle can also become our biggest opportunity, Ury argues. If we learn to understand and influence ourselves first, we lay the groundwork for understanding and influencing others. In this prequel to Getting to Yes, Ury offers a seven-step method to help you reach agreement with yourself first, dramatically improving your ability to negotiate with others. Practical and effective, Getting to Yes with Yourself helps readers reach good agreements with others, develop healthy relationships, make their businesses more productive, and live far more satisfying lives.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/226460Tue, 20 Jan 2015 01:52:54 +0000Nikko GorczanyPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/226460 to listen full audiobooks.

Now, in a tour-de-force narrative twenty years in the making, Ashton leads us on a journey through humanity’s greatest creations to uncover the surprising truth behind who creates and how they do it. From the crystallographer’s laboratory where the secrets of DNA were first revealed by a long forgotten woman, to the electromagnetic chamber where the stealth bomber was born on a twenty-five-cent bet, to the Ohio bicycle shop where the Wright brothers set out to “fly a horse,” Ashton showcases the seemingly unremarkable individuals, gradual steps, multiple failures, and countless ordinary and usually uncredited acts that lead to our most astounding breakthroughs. Creators, he shows, apply in particular ways the everyday, ordinary thinking of which we are all capable, taking thousands of small steps and working in an endless loop of problem and solution. He examines why innovators meet resistance and how they overcome it, why most organizations stifle creative people, and how the most creative organizations work.

Title: Anticipate: The Art of Leading by Looking Ahead Author: Rob-Jan De Jong Narrator: Steven Menasche Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 12 minutes Release date: January 1, 2015 Genres: Career Development Publisher's Summary: What enables great corporate leaders to detect signals that their industry, or perhaps the entire world, is about to change? How are they able to place their companies in a position to capitalize on that change? And how can you become one of those extraordinary people? It boils down to one word--vision. Leaders who lacked it have often guided their companies to obsolescence and failure. The rare leaders who cultivated a strong vision have disrupted industries, created new ones, and remade the world. For example, you may never have heard of Ingvar Kamprad, but his vision of design furniture that should not just be accessible to the 'happy few' led to the global success of Ikea. John F. Kennedy's 1961 vision that America could put a man on the moon 'by the end of the decade' led to just that--as well as new products ranging from LED lights to artificial limbs. The recent economic boom in Dubai has occurred thanks to a sheikh who realized the region's oil supply would eventually run out. So he developed a vision for today's Dubai, a modern city that focuses on service industries as different as high finance and high-end tourism. Fortunately, visionary leadership is never an accident of birth. This book will teach you the practices that can make you a successful visionary, such as: * How to grow your ability to detect change early * How to connect the dots among emerging trends to develop a coherent and robust vision * Ways to create scenarios that help you design interruptive strategies, products, and services that are game changers * Practical ideas and exercises you can incorporate into your daily routine to nurture your visionary side * How to speak like a visionary leader, present your ideas more colorfully, and ignite your followers emotionally so they'll put their best efforts into a commonly shared cause You'll also discover how to integrate early signs of change into a long-range perspective. You'll learn how to develop a logically consistent 'story' that serves your vision. You'll find out how to maximize the chances that your vision will work. And you'll learn ways to avoid the dangerous pitfall of tunnel vision. Change will always be coming. It's key, then, to see it as far off as possible and so maximize the amount of time you have to prepare for it before it arrives. Anticipate will give you that long-range vision.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/225801Thu, 01 Jan 2015 01:52:54 +0000Nikko GorczanyPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/225801 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Self-Made Billionaire Effect: How Extreme Producers Create Massive Value Author: John Sviokla, Mitch Cohen Narrator: Erik Synnestvedt Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 18 minutes Release date: January 1, 2015 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.56 of Total 9 Ratings of Narrator: 4.5 of Total 2 Genres: Career Development Publisher's Summary: Imagine what Atari might have achieved if Steve Jobs had stayed there to develop the first massmarket personal computer. Or what Steve Case might have done for PepsiCo if he hadn’t left for a gaming start-up that eventually became AOL. What if Salomon Brothers had kept Michael Bloomberg, or Bear Stearns had exploited the inventive ideas of Stephen Ross? Scores of top-tier entrepreneurs worked for established corporations before they struck out on their own and became self-made billionaires. People like Mark Cuban, John Paul DeJoria, Sara Blakely, and T. Boone Pickens all built businesses—in some cases, multiple businesses—that are among today’s most iconic brands. This fact raises two profound questions: Why couldn’t their former employers hang on to to these extraordinarily talented people? And why are most big companies unable to create as much new value as the world’s roughly 800 self-made billionaires? John Sviokla and Mitch Cohen decided to look more closely at self-made billionaires because creating $1 billion or more in value is an incredible feat. Drawing on extensive research and interviews, the authors concluded that many of the myths perpetuated about billionaires are simply not true. These billionaires aren’t necessarily smarter, harder working, or luckier than their peers. They aren’t all prodigies, crossing the billionaire finish line in their twenties. Nor, most of the time, do they create something brand-new: More than 80 percent of the billionaires in the research sample earned their billions in highly competitive industries. The key difference is what the authors call the “Producer” mind-set, in contrast with the far more pervasive “Performer” mind-set. Performers strive to excel in well-defined areas, and are important. But Producers are critical to any company looking to create massive value because they redefine what’s possible, rather than simply meeting preexisting goals and standards. Combining sound judgment with imaginative vision, Producers think up entirely new products, services, strategies, and business models. Big companies tend to reward Performers and discourage the unconventional ways of Producers. But it’s the latter who integrate multiple ideas, perspectives, and actions, and who trust their insights enough to make game-changing bets. This book breaks down the five critical habits of mind of massive value-creators, so you can learn how to identify, encourage, and retain such individuals—and maybe even become one yourself. The Self-made Billionaire Effect will forever change the way you think about talent and business value.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/226075Thu, 01 Jan 2015 01:52:54 +0000Nikko GorczanyPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/226075 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: The Scorecard Solution: Measure What Matters and Drive Sustainable Growth Author: Dan E. King Narrator: Don Hagen Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 18 minutes Release date: January 1, 2015 Genres: Career Development Publisher's Summary: Simply “making the numbers” is no longer enough to remain competitive.

That level of success requires a clear and objective view of the business—because even the most courageous leader can’t steer a ship in the dark. Is the enterprise Agile? Resilient? Vulnerable?

With the facts in hand, readers then learn how to: Position the organization to meet ambitious goals • Bring strategies to life through an execution framework • Design a dashboard to track progress and flag problems • Foster a winning culture • And more Organizations that maintain the status quo will be left in the dust.

Every day brings us a crushing wave of demands: a barrage of texts, emails, interruptions, meetings, phone calls, tweets, breaking news—not to mention the high-pressure demands of our jobs—which can be overwhelming and exhausting. The sheer number of distractions can threaten our ability to think clearly, make good decisions, and accomplish what matters most, leaving us worn out and frustrated.

The 5 Choices—like “Act on the Important, Don’t React to the Urgent” and “Rule Your Technology, Don’t Let It Rule You”—will not only increase your productivity, but also provide a renewed sense of engagement and accomplishment.

The 5 Choices—like “Act on the Important, Don’t React to the Urgent” and “Rule Your Technology, Don’t Let It Rule You”—will not only increase your productivity, but also provide a renewed sense of engagement and accomplishment. You will quickly find yourself moving beyond thinking, “I was so busy today, what did I actually accomplish?” to confidently realizing “I did everything I needed to accomplish today—and did it meaningfully.”]]>185cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/13-things-mentally-strong-people-don-t-do-take-back-your-power-embrace-change-face-your-fears-and-train-your-brain-for-happiness-and-suc--65222217https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/225915 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Finish Big: How Great Entrepreneurs Exit Their Companies on Top Author: Bo Burlingham Narrator: Sean Pratt Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 20 minutes Release date: December 1, 2014 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 3 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Career Development Publisher's Summary: “No two exit experiences are exactly alike. Some people wind up happy with the process and satisfied with the way it turned out while others look back on it as a nightmare. The question I hope to answer in this book is why. What did the people with ‘good’ exits do differently from those who’d had ‘bad’ exits?” When pioneering business journalist and Inc. magazine editor at large Bo Burlingham wrote Small Giants, it became an instant classic for its original take on a common business problem—how to handle the pressure to grow. Now Burlingham is back to tackle an even more common problem—how to exit your company well. Sooner or later, all entrepreneurs leave their businesses and all businesses get sold, given away, or liquidated. Whatever your preferred outcome, you need to start planning for it while you still have time and options. The beautiful part is that if you start early enough, the process will lead you to build a better, stronger, more resilient company, as well as one with a higher market value. Unfortunately, most owners don’t start early enough—and pay a steep price for their procrastination. Burlingham interviewed dozens of entrepreneurs across a range of industries and identified eight key factors that determine whether owners are happy after leaving their businesses. His book showcases the insights, exit plans, and cautionary tales of entrepreneurs such as Ray Pagano: founder of a leading manufacturer of housings for security cameras. He turned down a bid for his company and instead changed his management style, resulting in a subsequent sale for four times the original offer. Bill Niman: founder of the iconic Niman Ranch, which revolutionized the meat industry. He learned about unhappy exits when he was forced to sell to private equity investors, leaving him with nothing to show for his thirty-five years in business. Gary Hirshberg: founder of organic yogurt pioneer Stonyfield Farm. He pulled off the nearly impossible task of finding a large company that would buy out his 275 small investors at a premium price while letting him retain complete control of the business. Through such stories, Burlingham offers an illuminating and inspirational guide to one of the most stressful, and yet potentially rewarding, processes business owners must go through. And he explores the emotional challenges they face at every step of the way. At the end of the day, owning a business is about more than selling goods and services. It’s about making choices that shape your entire life, both professional and personal. Finish Big helps you figure out how to face your future with confidence and be able to someday look back on your journey with pride.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/225804Mon, 01 Dec 2014 01:52:54 +0000Nikko GorczanyPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/225804 to listen full audiobooks.

Way: Finding Joy & Meaning in Everyday Life & Work Author: Alex Pattakos, Elaine Dundon Narrator: Tom Perkins Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 52 minutes Release date: November 18, 2014 Genres: Career Development Publisher's Summary: In chasing the good life, many of us sacrifice our relationships, our health, and our sanity, and at the end of the day still find ourselves with lives and work that bring us little fulfillment or meaning. The pursuit of happiness doesn't fill this void, and it doesn't help us deal with the challenges and chaos that are inevitable in everyday life. We need to learn how to embrace all of life—the ups and the downs, the joys and sorrows, the good times as well as times of transition and upheaval.

Title: The OPA! Way: Finding Joy & Meaning in Everyday Life & Work Author: Alex Pattakos, Elaine Dundon Narrator: Tom Perkins Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 52 minutes Release date: November 18, 2014 Genres: Career Development Publisher's Summary: In chasing the good life, many of us sacrifice our relationships, our health, and our sanity, and at the end of the day still find ourselves with lives and work that bring us little fulfillment or meaning. The pursuit of happiness doesn't fill this void, and it doesn't help us deal with the challenges and chaos that are inevitable in everyday life. We need to learn how to embrace all of life—the ups and the downs, the joys and sorrows, the good times as well as times of transition and upheaval. Inspired by ancient Greek philosophy and traditional Greek village life, and backed by years of research, The OPA! Way offers a breakthrough, practical approach to discovering and reconnecting with the true meaning of our lives and work. Bestselling authors Alex Pattakos and Elaine Dundon, founders of The OPA!

Title: Think and Grow Rich (1937 Edition): The Original 1937 Unedited Edition Author: Napoleon Hill Narrator: Fred Stella Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 55 minutes Release date: November 4, 2014 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.54 of Total 325 Ratings of Narrator: 4.56 of Total 41 Genres: Career Development Publisher's Summary: The Napoleon Hill Foundation received many requests from people wanting the original, unedited, 1937 copy of Think and Grow Rich. To satisfy those customers the Foundation reproduced Napoleon Hill’s personal copy of the first edition, printed in March of 1937. The book has the notation, “not to be loaned,” and signed: Annie Lou Hill (the wife of Dr. Hill). This personal copy of Dr. Hill’s was given to me by Dr. Charles W. Johnson, Chairman of the Napoleon Hill Foundation and a nephew of Napoleon Hill.It was Napoleon Hill who sent Dr. Johnson to medical school, and today he is a practicing cardiologist. Charlie refers to Napoleon Hill as “Uncle Nap” and will often makes the statement, “Uncle Nap would be proud of the Foundation today.” The original 1937 manuscript was written and edited with the assistance of Napoleon’s wife. In later years, the existing document was again edited by Dr. Hill. For example, the Foundation owns a 1958 edition that Hill edited personally. This did not lessen the book’s value in Hill’s judgment. Hill made the editing remarks in his own handwriting and the resulting 1960 edited edition has sold over 100 million copies making it the most read self-help book of all time. Think and Grow Rich sells more copies today than before Dr. Hill died in 1970.Now, a new and authoritative recording of this original, unedited, one-of-a-kind work, authorized by the Napoleon Hill Foundation is available. By purchasing this audio edition, you will be supporting the nonprofit Napoleon Hill Foundation. The entire philosophy of Napoleon Hill is based on the Golden Rule. The Foundation deeply appreciates the support of those of you who only purchase Napoleon Hill authorized books.

Title: Behind Every Good Decision: How Anyone Can Use Business Analytics to Turn Data into Profitable Insight Author: Piyanka Jain, Puneet Sharma Narrator: Karen Saltus Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 50 minutes Release date: November 1, 2014 Genres: Career Development Publisher's Summary: List the hottest buzzwords in business today and 'analytics' is bound to come out near the top. But to most people, analytics implies complex tools and technical experts manipulating massive amounts and varieties of information (i.e.,'Big Data'). But complex Big Data analytics isn't the only game in town. And many people don't realize that a business doesn't need data scientists and complex tools to derive useful information and valuable benefits from any amount of raw data (e.g., names, behaviors, zip codes, demographics, sales statistics, etc.). Now Piyanka Jain and Puneet Sharma have defeated the myth that analytics is 'rocket science'--and that only Big Data matters. In Behind Every Good Decision, they demonstrate how you can leverage the data you've got to generate valuable insights and drive countless smart business decisions. Best of all, the techniques for solving 80 percent of all business problems can be solved by any professional using only a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet!--and the authors show you how. Among the fascinating things you'll learn and apply from this engaging, easy-to-understand book are: * How to use a unique, remarkably effective, streamlined method called 'BADIR' for short, that works in any industry and will help you move from data to decisions in just five steps * How this tool can help you improve customer experiences, optimize your work flow, predict the rate of customer churn, and determine which among several business propositions should be the focus of your attention * The four most commonly used analytics methodologies * Tools you can use for storing, reporting, and analyzing data * The kinds of people who should be chosen for an analytics team With this book, you'll see that business analytics is a simple problem-solving tool. Done right, your analytics effort can make for happier customers, better products, agile business practices, more productive employees, bigger revenues, and fatter profits--not to mention delighted bosses. And with the help of Behind Every Good Decision, you'll be able to launch that effort right from your own laptop.

The fact that KISS is one of the most successful rock bands in the world is no accident. From the beginning Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley had a clear-cut vision of what they wanted to do and how they wanted to operate KISS as a business well before they ever first took the stage. Since deciding with Paul to manage the band themselves, Simmons has proved himself to be a formidable businessman, having sold over 100 million CDs and DVDs worldwide, overseen over 3,000 licensed merchandise items, and starred in the longest running celebrity reality show to date. More impressive is that he handles all of his business ventures on his own—no personal assistant, few handlers, and as little red tape as possible. In ME, INC., Simmons shares a lifetime of field-tested and hard-won business advice that will provide readers with the tools needed to build a solid business strategy, harness the countless tools available in the digital age, network like hell, and be the architect for the business entity that is you. Inspired by The Art of War, the book dispenses Simmons’ in-depth insights via thirteen specific principles for success based on his own experience, triumphs, and instructional failures in business—from finding the confidence within yourself that’s necessary to get started, to surrounding yourself with the right people to partner with and learn from, to knowing when to pull the plug and when to double-down.

Title: Me, Myself, and Us: The Science of Personality and the Art of Well-Being Author: Brian R. Little, Phd Narrator: Patrick Lawlor Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 50 minutes Release date: October 14, 2014 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3 of Total 2 Ratings of Narrator: 3 of Total 1 Genres: Career Development Publisher's Summary: In the past few decades, personality psychology has made considerable progress in raising new questions about human nature—and providing some provocative answers. New scientific research has transformed old ideas about personality based on the theories of Freud, Jung, and the humanistic psychologies of the nineteen sixties, which gave rise to the simplistic categorizations of the Meyer-Briggs Inventory and the 'enneagream.' But the general public still knows little about the new science and what it reveals about who we are. In Me, Myself, and Us, Brian Little, Ph.D., one of the psychologists who helped re-shape the field, provides the first in-depth exploration of the new personality science and its provocative findings for general readers. The book explores questions that are rooted in the origins of human consciousness but are as commonplace as yesterday's breakfast conversation. Are our first impressions of other people's personalities usually fallacious? Are creative individuals essentially maladjusted? Are our personality traits, as William James put it, 'set like plaster' by the age of thirty? Is a belief that we are in control of our lives an unmitigated good? Do our singular personalities comprise one unified self or a confederacy of selves, and if the latter, which of our mini-mes do we offer up in marriage or mergers? Are some individuals genetically hard-wired for happiness? Which is the more viable path toward human flourishing, the pursuit of happiness or the happiness of pursuit? Little provides a resource for answering such questions, and a framework through which readers can explore the personal implications of the new science of personality. Questionnaires and interactive assessments throughout the book facilitate self-exploration, and clarify some of the stranger aspects of our own conduct and that of others. Brian Little helps us see ourselves, and other selves, as somewhat less perplexing and definitely more intriguing. This is not a self-help book, but students at Harvard who took the lecture course on which it is based claim that it changed their lives.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/220728Tue, 14 Oct 2014 01:52:54 +0000Nikko GorczanyPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/220728 to listen full audiobooks.

Instead of pushing women to pursue financial success in the traditional fashion, Sacred Success seeks to redefine power from a feminine perspective. You can be financially successful without sacrificing your soul or compromising your values. You can have more money, not as an end itself but as a tool for making a difference and helping others.

Title: Sacred Success: A Course in Financial Miracles Author: Barbara Stanny Narrator: Randye Kaye Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 1 minute Release date: October 7, 2014 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.67 of Total 3 Genres: Career Development Publisher's Summary: In her work with countless powerful, successful women over the last twenty years, bestselling author and financial educator Barbara Stanny found that most women's problems with money have little to do with money itself, but rather their fear of or ambivalence toward power. Instead of pushing women to pursue financial success in the traditional fashion, Sacred Success seeks to redefine power from a feminine perspective. You can be financially successful without sacrificing your soul or compromising your values. You can have more money, not as an end itself but as a tool for making a difference and helping others. You can create wealth and exercise power by staying true to your feminine traits, authentic truths, and personal mission. Sacred Success is a tutorial for taking charge of your life by taking charge of your finances, and not only growing your money but creating a deeper, richer, and more meaningful life.]]>905cleanfullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/assertiveness-training-how-to-get-what-you-want-by-cara-lane-dawn-jones--65222221https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/221561 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Crazy Is a Compliment: The Power of Zigging When Everyone Else Zags Author: Linda Rottenberg Narrator: Linda Rottenberg Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 14 minutes Release date: October 2, 2014 Genres: Career Development Publisher's Summary: In the tradition of both The Lean Startup and Lean In, a manifesto about taking smart risks in pursuit of big dreams Linda Rottenberg has spent her career helping innovators think big. “If people aren’t calling you crazy, you aren’t thinking big enough,” she says. These days taking chances isn’t just for young college dropouts in hoodies. Whether you work at a Fortune 500 company, a non-profit, or a mom-andpop store, everybody needs to think and act like a changemaker. We all need to be nimble, adaptive, daring, and maybe even a little crazy, or risk being left behind. But how do you take smart risks and still achieve big success? That’s Rottenberg’s expertise as the CEO and cofounder of Endeavor, the world’s leading organization devoted to identifying, mentoring, and investing in fast-growing businesses. Since 1997, Endeavor has screened 40,000 candidates and handpicked 1,000 entrepreneurs in 20 countries —then helped them take the crucial steps to grow their organizations and transform their communities. In 2012, Endeavor entrepreneurs generated $6 billion in revenues and provided 225,000 jobs. Now Rottenberg draws on her unique experience to show how we can all take manageable steps to achieve our dreams. Crazy Is a Compliment offers a blend of inspiring stories and practical tools for getting started, going bigger, and integrating work and family. As she writes, “Since everybody has to take risks these days, we all need to be able to derisk risk.” Written with wisdom, wit, and passion, Crazy is a Compliment is a rallying cry for a new approach to business and a blueprint for personal change. The good news is that anybody can initiate those changes. “There are no admission criteria. There is no wardrobe requirement. There is no secret vote. Entrepreneurship is for everyone.”]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/218421Thu, 02 Oct 2014 01:52:54 +0000Nikko GorczanyPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/218421 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Never Be Closing Author: Tim Hurson, Tim Dunne Narrator: Tim Dunne, Tim Hurson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 23 minutes Release date: October 1, 2014 Genres: Career Development Publisher's Summary: Everyone knows that the first rule of sales is “always be closing.” But what if the less time you spend trying to close, the more time you can devote to helping people solve problems and seize opportunities? And what if following the new rule of sales, “always be useful,” results in more business? If you sell and if you aim to sell better, you need to know about the stranger’s dilemma. A stranger doesn’t have the leverage of instant credibility. So it’s not surprising that a wide range of sales tactics, tools, and closing techniques have been developed as a substitute for credibility. Their purpose is often to wrangle a commitment to buy, even when buying may not be in the best interests of the client. The approach advocated in Never Be Closing is designed to overcome the stranger’s dilemma, but in a very different way. This book isn’t just a catalog of techniques to wrestle money out of a client’s pocket. It’s a comprehensive strategy that starts with a well-researched process for identifying and solving problems. It shows you how to access your creativity to establish and maintain relationships that will be truly useful for both you and your clients over time. In a very real sense, this book will show you how to become less of a stranger. Never Be Closing expands on the principles of Tim Hurson’s first book, Think Better, by offering a simple and repeatable Productive Selling framework to make the most of new opportunities. From getting your foot in the door to delivering the perfect sales pitch to debriefing after a meeting, Hurson and Dunne have an all-encompassing plan to improve your sales results, including: Eight Paths to Credibility, proven methods that establish your authority to ask key questions that reveal your client’s issues, challenges, and goals. Q-Notes, a powerful strategy to make your notes doubly useful—to both record and guide your sales meeting. Three-Act Structure, a creative way to design the sales conversation to explore client needs, offer solutions, and deliver value. Hurson and Dunne show that outstanding selling isn’t just about mastering the art of persuasion. Instead, the most successful selling comes from a sincere interest in your clients and their needs. These methods will enable you to sell more effectively than ever before.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/221392Wed, 01 Oct 2014 01:52:54 +0000Nikko GorczanyPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/221392 to listen full audiobooks.

Productivity gains in workflow of as much as 1,200 percent have been recorded, and there’s no more lucid—or compelling—explainer of Scrum and its bright promise than Jeff Sutherland. The thorny problem that Sutherland began tackling back then boils down to this: People are spectacularly bad at doing things with agility and efficiency. Best-laid plans go up in smoke. Teams often work at cross-purposes to one another. And when the pressure rises, unhappiness soars. Woven with insights from martial arts, judicial decision making, advanced aerial combat, robotics, and Sutherland’s experience as a West Point–educated fighter pilot, a biometrics expert, a medical researcher, an early innovator of ATM technology, and a C-level executive at eleven different technology companies, this book will take you to Scrum’s front lines, where Sutherland’s system has brought the FBI into the twenty-first century, helped support John Deere’s supply chain amid a global pandemic and supply chain shortage, reduced poverty in the Third World, and even planned weddings and accomplished weekend chores. The way we work has changed dramatically since Sutherland first introduced Scrum a decade ago. This urgent update shares new insights and provides new tools to take advantage of the radical productivity that Scrum delivers. Sutherland will show you how to optimize working with artificial intelligence and share the latest cognitive science research on culture, psychological safety, diversity, and happiness, and how these factors drive performance, innovation, and overall organizational health. This new edition contains a decade of lessons learned. Whether it’s ten years ago, now, or ten years into the future, the Scrum framework is guaranteed to help you deliver results. But the most important reason to read this book is that it may just help you achieve what others consider unachievable.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/218321Tue, 30 Sep 2014 01:52:54 +0000Nikko GorczanyPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/218321 to listen full audiobooks.

Or at least learn how to fake it. Not at all. There is another way. This audiobook shatters stereotypes about people who dislike networking. They’re not shy or misanthropic. Rather, they tend to be reflective—they think before they talk. They focus intensely on a few things rather than broadly on a lot of things. And they need time alone to recharge. Because they’ve been told networking is all about small talk, big numbers and constant contact, they assume it’s not for them. But it is! Zack politely examines and then smashes to tiny fragments the “dusty old rules” of standard networking advice. She shows how the very traits that ordinarily make people networking-averse can be harnessed to forge an approach that is just as effective as more traditional approaches, if not better. And she applies it to all kinds of situations, not just formal networking events.

Daniel Kahneman's pioneering work that tackles questions of intuition and rationality, read by Patrick Egan. In Thinking, Fast and Slow, Kahneman takes us on a ground-breaking tour of the mind and explains the two systems that drive the way we think and make choices. One system is fast, intuitive, and emotional; the other is slower, more deliberative, and more logical. Kahneman exposes the extraordinary capabilities-and also the faults and biases-of fast thinking, and reveals the pervasive influence of intuitive impressions on our thoughts and behaviour. The importance of properly framing risks, the effects of cognitive biases on how we view others, the dangers of prediction, the right ways to develop skills, the pros and cons of fear and optimism, the difference between our experience and memory of events, the real components of happiness-each of these can be understood only by knowing how the two systems work together to shape our judgments and decisions. Drawing on a lifetime's experimental experience, Kahneman reveals where we can and cannot trust our intuitions and how we can tap into the benefits of slow thinking. He offers practical and enlightening insights into how choices are made in both our professional and our personal lives-and how we can use different techniques to guard against the mental glitches that often get us into trouble. Thinking, Fast and Slow will transform the way you take decisions and experience the world. © Daniel Kahneman 2011 (P) Penguin Audio 2011]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/237948Mon, 12 Dec 2011 01:52:54 +0000Nikko GorczanyPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/237948 to listen full audiobooks.

If these and related issues have been gnawing at you, perhaps you need to be more assertive. You're not alone. If it's always been hard for you to get the attention of others, to be heard, or to be followed, take heed. Many people feel the same way. It seems it's becoming harder and harder to be heard. Why? Because we live in an over-communicated, over-informed, overly noisy society. Coworkers have greater difficulty getting the true attention of their fellow coworkers.

Hubbard Narrator: David Drummond Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 43 minutes Release date: September 20, 2011 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 1 Genres: Career Development Publisher's Summary: Anything can be measured. This bold assertion is the key to solving many problems in business and life in general. The myth that certain things can't be measured is a significant drain on our nation's economy, public welfare, the environment, and even national security. In fact, the chances are good that some part of your life or your professional responsibilities is greatly harmed by a lack of measurement—by you, your firm, or even your government. Building up from simple concepts to illustrate the hands-on yet intuitively easy application of advanced statistical techniques, How to Measure Anything reveals the power of measurement in our understanding of business and the world at large. This insightful and engaging book shows you how to measure those things in your business that until now you may have considered 'immeasurable,' including technology ROI, organizational flexibility, customer satisfaction, and technology risk. Offering examples that will get you to attempt measurements—even when it seems impossible—this book provides you with the substantive steps for measuring anything, especially uncertainty and risk. Don't wait—listen to this book and find out: —The three reasons why things may seem immeasurable but are not —Inspirational examples of where seemingly impossible measurements were resolved with surprisingly simple methods —How computing the value of information will show that you probably have been measuring all the wrong things —How not to measure risk —Methods for measuring 'soft' things like happiness, satisfaction, quality, and more —How to fine-tune human judges to be powerful, calibrated measurement instruments —How you can use the Internet as an instrument of measurement A complete resource with case studies, How to Measure Anything illustrates how author Douglas Hubbard—creator of Applied Information Economics—has used his approach across various industries. You'll learn how any problem, no matter how difficult, ill-defined, or uncertain, can lend itself to measurement using proven methods. Straightforward and easy-to-follow, this is the resource you'll refer to again and again—beyond measure.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/218709Tue, 20 Sep 2011 01:52:54 +0000Nikko GorczanyPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/218709 to listen full audiobooks.

So why—with all this time, money, and energy being spent—are so few people living the life they really want? Why are millions of smart, talented, motivated people still going through life with one foot on the brake? Here's the real Secret: You don't need any more how-to-succeed information to reach your full potential. The problem isn't lack of motivation or lack of information. The real problem is that most people focus on the ''how-to'' aspects of success taught by traditional self-help programs, without coming to terms with what productivity expert Noah St. John calls your ''head trash''—the subconscious, emotional roadblocks that prevent people from acting on their real hopes, dreams, and ambitions. In this groundbreaking book, based on work with thousands of clients around the world, Noah St. John has created a remarkable, step-by-step approach that helps you achieve long-term happiness, success, and wealth. In The Secret Code of Success, you will learn how to: - Eliminate the causes of self-sabotage and fear of success - Allow yourself to make more money - Remove stress while dramatically increasing personal productivity - Improve relationships with coworkers, family, and friends - Experience enhanced feelings of happiness, connection, and love The Secret Code of Success shows that, when it comes to success, the conscious mind is exactly the wrong place to start. It's only when we first conquer the self-sabotage of our subconscious (which accounts for 90 percent of our behavior) that we can truly begin to enjoy a life filled with success. This insight is at the core of The Secret Code of Success and leads to Noah's revolutionary 7-step method for eliminating these psychological obstacles.

What if you were given that choice? We're talking actual life and death now. Your own life and death. What if a well-informed, trusted authority figure said you had to make difficult and enduring changes in the way you think, feel, and act? If you didn't, your time would end soon—a lot sooner than it had to. Could you change when change mattered most?'' This is the question Alan Deutschman poses in Change or Die, which began as a sensational cover story by the same title for Fast Company. Deutschman concludes that although we all have the ability to change our behavior, we rarely ever do. In fact, the odds are nine to one that, when faced with the dire need to change, we won't. From patients suffering from heart disease to repeat offenders in the criminal justice system to companies trapped in the mold of unsuccessful business practices, many of us could prevent ominous outcomes by simply changing our mindset. A powerful book with universal appeal, Change or Die deconstructs and debunks age-old myths about change and empowers us with three critical keys—relate, repeat, and reframe—to help us make important positive changes in our lives. Explaining breakthrough research and progressive ideas from a wide selection of leaders in medicine, science, and business (including Dr. Dean Ornish, Mimi Silbert of the Delancey Street Foundation, Bill Gates, Daniel Boulud, and many others), Deutschman demonstrates how anyone can achieve lasting, revolutionary change. Change or Die is not about merely reorganizing or restructuring priorities; it's about challenging, inspiring, and helping all of us to make the dramatic transformations necessary in any aspect of life—changes that are positive, attainable, and absolutely vital.]]>https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/233643Tue, 26 Dec 2006 01:52:54 +0000Nikko GorczanyPlease visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/233643 to listen full audiobooks.

Title: Lead to Succeed: 10 Traits of Great Leadership in Business and Life Author: Rick Pitino Narrator: Rick Pitino Format: Abridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 33 minutes Release date: July 5, 2000 Genres: Career Development Publisher's Summary: Learn how to be a leader from one of sports' greatest teachers, Rick Pitino. As Rick Pitino says, great leaders aren't born great; they learn great leadership along the path of life. From the time Pitino first became a coach at twenty-four, he has been a student of leadership in all its forms, studying how great leaders from legendary coaches to American presidents to world humanitarians are able to inspire and motivate others. He discovered that all leaders, on the court and off, in business, politics, or civil rights, have certain qualities in common; these leaders share key traits that make people want to listen to them and follow them. Now, in Lead to Succeed, Rick Pitino shares the ten traits of great leadership he discovered and has cultivated in himself, and shows readers how they, too, can become leaders in their business and personal lives. As the former coach of the Kentucky Wildcats who turned the team around from probation status to a 1996 NCAA championship, Pitino relates stories of this experience, and other leadership lessons from his career. When Rick Pitino joined the Boston Celtics in 1997, he took on the biggest challenge of his professional life, becoming not only head coach but also president of the Celtics. In addition to coaching professional athletes with multimillion-dollar contracts, he was assuming a leadership role of an organization saddled with salary cap problems, limited talent, misfortune in the draft lottery, and bombarded by adversity on all sides. Facing these adversities, Pitino has relied on a leadership strategy based on his years of learning from leaders around him and from his own mistakes and successes. Leading isn't about being a dictator; nor is it about people-pleasing. As Pitino shows in Lead to Succeed, leadership is about communication, consistency, and selflessness. In addition to illustrating how these traits apply in a variety of business situations, Pitino addresses these issues: How you can be an effective business leader and still be honest When it's best not to delegate How the past can hurt you How to get your team out of a slump While Pitino has had great success with his players, he has also convinced thousands of people in companies across America that his leadership message applies in the workplace as well. Lead to Succeed is for anyone who wants to inspire and motivate others--be it your employees or colleagues, or members of an organization you belong to, or your family.

Title: The Fifth Discipline Fieldbook Author: Peter M. Senge Narrator: Peter M. Senge Format: Abridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 0 minutes Release date: July 4, 2000 Genres: Career Development Publisher's Summary: Create your own guide to mastering the disciplines of organizational learning with this invaluable guide based on the national bestseller The Fifth Discipline. “The Fieldbook is a must read for anyone serious about building communities of common purpose, collective action, and continuous learning.”—H. Thomas Johnson, author of Relevance Lost and Relevance Regained   Peter Senge’s The Fifth Discipline revolutionized the practice of management by introducing the theory of learning organizations. Now Dr. Senge moves from the philosophical to the practical by answering the first question all lovers of the learning organization ask: What do they do on Monday morning? The Fieldbook is an intensely pragmatic guide. It shows how to create an organization of learners where memories are brought to life, where collaboration is the lifeblood of every endeavor, and where the tough questions are fearlessly asked.

Thomas Johnson, author of Relevance Lost and Relevance Regained   Peter Senge’s The Fifth Discipline revolutionized the practice of management by introducing the theory of learning organizations. Now Dr. Senge moves from the philosophical to the practical by answering the first question all lovers of the learning organization ask: What do they do on Monday morning? The Fieldbook is an intensely pragmatic guide. It shows how to create an organization of learners where memories are brought to life, where collaboration is the lifeblood of every endeavor, and where the tough questions are fearlessly asked.
