Real Freedom By Gregory K. Mohr

Credit: Real Freedom

 Overview

There was a time when Gregory K. Mohr was working the hum drum career. And before that, there was a time when he felt inspired within the world of franchising. After an unfortunate layoff, he found himself returning to the freedom tasted as a young man.

In Real Freedom, Mohr has gathered his own experience along with many others, in the interest of illustrating how franchising is the greatest plan for building wealth-when done correctly. While this can be a complex process, there are many opportunities worth considering, and some of them might even surprise you. After finding his own way to freedom, Greg began helping others do the same. And now, in his book, he is expanding his mission. If you are losing inspiration within the work you're currently doing, if you are longing for something new and exciting, and if you are ready to begin a new-freedom is one franchise away.

People Buy You (Sales Gravy)

Overview

What is most important to your success as a sales or business professional? Is it education, experience, product knowledge, job title, territory, or business dress? Is it your company’s reputation, product, price, marketing collateral, delivery lead times, in stock ratios, service guarantees, management strength, or warehouse location? Is it testimonials, the latest Forbes write up, or brand awareness? Is it the investment in the latest CRM software, business 2.0 tools, or social media strategy?

If you want to know the real secret to what matters most in business, just look in the mirror. That’s right, it’s YOU. Do these other things matter? Of course they do, but when all things are equal (and in the competitive world we live in today, things almost always are) People Buy You. Credit: Excerpt, People Buy You; Jeb Blount.

Slow Productivity By Cal Newport

Credit: Slow Productivity

 

Overview

  

Our current definition of “productivity” is broken. It pushes us to treat busyness as a proxy for useful effort, leading to impossibly lengthy task lists and ceaseless meetings. We’re overwhelmed by all we have to do and on the edge of burnout, left to decide between giving into soul-sapping hustle culture or rejecting ambition altogether. But are these really our only choices? Read more here. Credit: Cal Newport.

Good People By Patmeena Sabit

Overview

The Sharaf family is the picture of success. Prosperous, rich, happy. They came to this country as refugees with nothing more than the clothes on their backs. And now, after years of hard work, they live in the most exclusive neighborhood, their growing family attending the most prestigious schools. Zorah, the eldest daughter, is the apple of her father’s eye. When an unthinkable tragedy strikes, everyone is left reeling and the family is thrust into the court of public opinion. There is talk that behind closed doors the Sharafs’ happy household was anything but. Did the Sharaf family achieve the American dream? Or was the image of the model immigrant family just a façade?

Make Room for Danny

Credit: Make Room for Danny

 Overview

The son of poor Lebanese immigrants, the entertainer was born in 1914 on a horse farm in Michigan and grew up among Jewish, Irish, Italian and other new Americans, an ethnic mix that provides the material for the comic's storytelling routines. After breaking into radio in his youth, Thomas rose to fame in films and TV, remained married to his wife of 54 years, Rose Marie. He attributes his successful life to a kept promise to St. Jude to found and support a children's hospital in his name, an institution for which Thomas was awarded the Congressional Medal. The hospital, according to the star, is his greatest reward, outweighing his professional achievements, even his record-setting TV show, an 11-year prime-time favorite, Make Room for Daddy. Father to Tony, a noted TV producer, and actress-producer Marlo, Thomas also reports proudly on their careers. Among other attractions in the book are tender and funny tales of cherished friends Milton Berle, Lucille Ball, Sinatra, Sammy Davis and others. Credit: Publisher's Weekly.

Overview

Actor-producer Christina Applegate has been onscreen since she was 1 year old (in Days of Our Lives, of course). The Emmy winner’s most recent role as co-star in the exceptional tragicomedy Dead to Me showed her astonishing range, but by the series finale, Applegate had been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Applegate has always kept it real, and her memoir will “dive into the darker moments underpinning her outward success.” Credit: You with the Sad Eyes; BookPage.

Humor Me By Chris Duffy

A sense of humor is often the missing piece in what we struggle with these days (personally, professionally, politically, even globally). In HUMOR ME, Chris Duffy sets out to investigate how to make things fun and funny again. He interviewed psychologists, neuroscientists, a Navy SEAL, a Parisian-trained clown, a woman who runs a nursing home in Hong Kong, famous comedians, extremely not famous comedians, a 10-year-old food critic, and a 104-year-old world champion swimmer.

The result is HUMOR ME—a book about how to laugh more every day and how a sense of humor can help you make friends, be healthier physically and mentally, be more creative, and get through hard times. Credit: Chris Duffy Comedy.

The Octopus Organization

Credit: The Octopus Organization

Overview

Large-scale organizational transformations usually don’t work. What originally starts as a way of improving an organization becomes an all-consuming distraction, a value-destroying set of activities that, even as it becomes clear they will fail, must be completed at any cost. But there is a better way: becoming an Octopus Organization.

The octopus is everything you need your organization to be in these turbulent times: extremely smart, endlessly adaptable, and highly resilient. Its eight arms work beautifully in concert, but crucially, each arm can think for itself if it needs to work independently. Your organization can work as intelligently and as beautifully as these amazing creatures, if you change your operating model. Credit: The Octopus Organization.
