With increased demand for hybrid and fully remote work styles, most firms understand that some form of distance work is here to stay—and have put some remote protocols in place. But are they the right ones? Do they reflect best practices when it comes to the hiring, training, and onboarding of new remote hires? Are policies and workflows in place that enable remote workers to be as productive as possible? Does management know how to keep remote teams engaged while keeping an eye out for burnout and other wellness issues?

Often, the answer is “we’re not quite there yet.” Many companies either see the shift to remote work as a threat to their culture and management style, or they just don’t know how to make the transition.

It’s time to take advantage of the many opportunities remote work presents. Stop saying “we’re not there yet,” and start saying “we’ve arrived!” This book will show you how.

2025 NYC Big Book Awards Winner in Nonfiction Cover Design
2025 Independent Publisher Book Awards Gold Medalist in Non-Fiction Book Series

In Go Together, workplace positivity expert Shola Richards suggests replacing divisiveness and incivility with a commitment to living, working, and leading together to positively change the world.

Go Together begins with the story of an impactful keynote speech Richards gave at a conference on workplace civility and a powerful concept: Ubuntu. A transcendent African philosophy, Ubuntu represent the power of human connectedness, compassion, kindness, and togetherness. It was the central theme of his speech on that day, and it also serves as the central theme of this book. He hopes that it becomes a rallying cry on his journey.

Among the subjects that Richards covers are developing empathy through curiosity; the beliefs that destroy connection (and what to do about them); the eight keys to Ubuntu at work; four ways you can cultivate more warmth as a leader; resilience and digging deep to keep moving forward; standing up to bigotry, hate, and intolerance; and more.

Richards writes, “The only thing that is required of us to stop the recurring pattern of the painful lessons of the past is to commit to go together from this point forward.”

LEARN HOW THE MODERN INSURANCE INDUSTRY FUNCTIONS AND DYSFUNCTIONS
With Pay Up!, attorney Chip Merlin exposes the bad faith practices of insurance companies that take advantage of their own customers.
The claims process has become so automated that legitimate claims are denied without ever being seen by human eyes. Exceptions and exclusions are buried within small print that can bury your claim. Many claims departments operate under a culture of paranoia in which legitimate claims are denied, sometimes accidentally, sometimes not. Cost-cutting measures birth “self-serve” policies that force the policyholder to do the insurer’s job. Insurance lobbyists are so enmeshed in the political process that it can be hard to know whose side industry regulators are on.
Commercial and individual policyholders pay premiums with the understanding that insurers will pay claims fairly, fully, and promptly. It’s time for the insurance industry to Pay Up!

For millennia, rice has sealed the fate of dynasties and kingdoms in Asia but has
only remained a cultural curiosity to Western financial markets. Today the
food and agricultural markets of India and China are in motion. The history
of agricultural change is littered with hunger, poverty and failure. Will
that curse pass itself on to this Asian generation? Or is there a brighter
future ahead of us? Now China is rapidly becoming the wealthiest country in
the world. China's water shortages and its rice market are fault lines that
finger their way beneath the surface of the world economy. These fault lines
are sending out tremors that could shake the entire world in the next few
years. Rice is a little grain but a big deal in Asia. The Great Wall of China
is cemented together with sticky rice. It uses up to 70% of the water
resources of China. Rice's 200,000,000 farms feed 3,000,000,000 people. Yet
it is grown on an area the size of France. Rice is the social cement of Asia
and the rice farms of Asia may crack that ancient cement. This book explains
the ancient yet curiously modern story of rice that binds feudal farms to the
new super cities across China. At the center of this story is the rice
farmer, whose backbreaking labor feeds millions. In the next 15 years,
millions of farmers must transition from landless serfs into modern business
people skilled in all the technologies and versed in market risk. The rice
world lies on the dark side of this digital earth. But that world is turning
rapidly towards the light.

THE SECRETS Your Broker Never Told You!
A seismic shift has taken place in financial planning for people approaching retirement.
When that change came along, author Thomas Helbig was more than ready for it.
What is the new investment landscape all about? Americans planning for retirement have lost faith in risky, Wall Street-style investments. Meanwhile, new investment tools have come along, developed by the insurance sector of the financial services industry, to replace those high-risk vehicles.
St. Louis-based Thomas Helbig, who began advising clients in 1977, has been specializing
in these new-breed investments since their emergence. Always one who emphasized safety and loss-prevention, Helbig became an early adopter of the new portfolio options and his clients have learned, to their happiness, how: • principal can be protected, • a logical plan can be followed, • substantial growth of the portfolio can be realized and • can produce more guaranteed income regardless of Wall Street’s performance
“I may be a financial advisor operating in extremely volatile times, but I don’t toss and turn at night. I know my clients’ funds are well protected.”
For 43 years Thomas Helbig founder of The Retirement Advisory Group has watched several trends in the retirement planning market come and go. But one thing has always remained consistent with all of his clients over the years, not one of them ever lost a dime of principal or gains as a result of following his advice. That is a statement not many Financial Advisors can make.

IS YOUR FAMILY VALUE AT RISK?
When we hear the word “wealth,” many of us think about money. But wealth is about so much more than that. All of the aspects of your life that matter most to you—your family, your legacy, your community, the causes you care deeply about—contribute to your wealth and the richness of your life. Together, they compose your family value. If you’re only managing your family’s money, however, your family value is at risk.
That key concept is at the basis of coauthors and wealth advisors JR Gondeck and Vanessa Martinez’s approach. Rooted in the knowledge that there is way more to wealth beyond one’s ROI, JR and Vanessa work with families to ensure their financial plans reflect and protect their family value.

Their strategy is not only holistic; it’s also inclusive. At their firm, The Lerner Group, advisors prioritize the perspectives and needs of all family members, including matriarchs—individuals who are often overlooked by more traditional advisors. As a result, they are able to help families maintain their overall wealth—and their value—for generations to come. In Family Value at Risk, they share critical insights on the risks and rewards of wealth planning. From the pitfalls of typical advising to the crucial conversations necessary to ensure your plans reflect your wishes, this book is a must-read for anyone concerned about their financial future.

• Can Do – Putting in the kind of effort that will make your work stand out
• Change – Being prepared for change and taking advantage of it

Dr. Bruton lays out both how you can avoid wrong moves in these areas and how to do the right things. As a psychologically sophisticated guide to working in the social services sector, she provides you with the tools you need to succeed and be fulfilled.

“This is a book about approaching your life creatively by keeping your interests alive rather than pushing them aside or worse — actively giving up on them.”

Author Debbe Daley begins her at turns funny and heart wrenching reflection on the ups and downs of making a career as an entrepreneur with the question, “What is going to make me happy? ” That’s a question she finds herself needing to answer carefully at various transition points — like getting married, having a baby, getting divorced, starting her own business — up to and including the present moment, when she’s presented with yet another opportunity to creatively shape her own life.

Interior Motives takes the reader on a journey through Daley’s attempt to establish a career as an interior designer in the New England area. Along the way, Daley offers readers insight into the role that negativity plays in keeping people from doing what they love. “Focusing on the monetary costs of the change we want to make is one of the most convincing ways that we set up obstacles for ourselves, ” Daley writes, before offering readers a hearty dose of encouragement. “ If you want to do something that’s going to make you happy, there will always be alternative paths than the first ones — or the easiest or fastest or most expensive ones — you imagine. There are always other avenues to take. The important thing is committing to taking the journey, believing that it’s worthwhile, getting on that path in some way or other, and seeing where it goes. ”

Daley’s career narrative is intricately interwoven with stories of family, friends, and love, and even offers readers a unique take on design industry challenges. She tracks a field undergoing its own major transitions from the 1980s, “...when a room full of traditionally trained designers gasped at the suggestion that there would be a major shift within the profession away from a more formal aesthetic,” to the 2020s, where she joins, “a room full of relaxed and talented young people dancing and celebrating everything that was new and different about the design world.”

Having made her way in life and career by laying claim to the value of hard work and independence, Daley leaves readers with an equally convincing message about the need for entrepreneurs to be surrounded by people who can push them forward, keep them learning and engaged, and cheer on their successes. “In the end, there’s no going it alone,” she writes, reminding her readers that answering the question, “What is going to make me happy?” always involves and reflects our relationships to the people closest to us.

Manage A Team That Will Follow You Anywhere!
In The Miracle Manager, Kevin G. Armstrong argues that placing true leaders in management positions has become an epidemic that is destroying businesses.
Armstrong—a successful speaker, business owner, advisor and best-selling author—knows first-hand the consequences of mistaking great leadership for effective management. With knowledge gained from 20-plus years of exclusively advising CEOs, business owners and their management teams, the author presents a revolutionary approach to organizational management.
Utilizing professional researchers and actual case studies of great leaders and coaches of the past, Armstrong illustrates why being a stellar player rarely equates to being a great coach – why businesses have to start rewarding and recognizing their leaders, and valuing the special talents of their managers.
“Throughout history, many influential people have earned the title of leader,” says Armstrong. “Leaders look to the future, oblivious to who or how many are following. Being an effective manager requires you to efficiently and effectively work through others — to be what I call a ‘manacoach.’”
Armstrong shares his proven strategies for implementing management techniques based on revolutionary concepts to create scalable and sustainable cultures of accountability.
For business owners and their management teams, The Miracle Manager is your guide to aligning people with your company culture and creating a healthy environment through accountability where politics cannot survive.

Imagine The Smile You Always Wanted

Modern orthodontic technologies have made the process of moving teeth faster, more comfortable, and more convenient. There are even do-it-yourself treatments advertised on TV and the internet that some people are tempted to try to straighten their teeth. Patients themselves have also changed; only a few years ago, most orthodontic patients were children and adolescents. These days, many more adults are looking to have their teeth straightened. Yet one thing hasn’t changed—the biology of the way teeth move. Yes, current treatment happens faster than ever before, but ensuring that teeth move correctly during treatment takes oversight by a trained and experienced orthodontist and team. That’s something you don’t get with do-it-yourself options. But with so much misinformation online, it’s difficult to get the best answers. With Life Transformative Smiles: Orthodontic Treatments and Technologies for the Smile You’ve Only Imagined, Dr. Jep Paschal answers some of the questions most often heard at Paschal Orthodontics for those who are making an important decision about orthodontic treatment for themselves or their children.

For years, Marcy Eisenberg and her company, Pathoras, have seen firsthand projects that meandered with no purpose or relevance—wasting billions of dollars, years of precious time, and resources that were already limited. Quality and quantity faltered, and the downstream effects were devastating—confidence lost in an organization, reputations damaged. All because of projects that missed critical marks that actually mattered to a team or organization.
In her book The Relevance Path™️, Eisenberg presents her secret sauce—the seven steps on the path to relevance—that edges teams and organizations beyond the competitive odds, ensures strong organizational reputations, and builds a brand of unparalleled confidence.
If you want to save time and money, identify project needs and goals with greater clarity, implement greater efficiencies and productivity, or recalibrate a project so that its ROI exceeds expectations, then this book is for you.

MOST PEOPLE HAVE SOMETHING THEY WOULD LIKE TO DO BETTER.
If your job is to help them do that, where do you begin? You might think that because he served as a player development coach in the NBA, Phil Weber would suggest that you start by immediately focusing on the specific skills. What will surprise you about this book is that it starts with and builds on the mental and relational aspects of development that must be established first. Weber lays out a blueprint that addresses the importance of mindset as a foundation for the developmental process. And since all players (and all people) are different, there is no one-size-fits-all approach. This book describes how to identify the unique motivators and triggers that people bring to the table and how to meet them where they are psychologically and emotionally in order to create the right developmental process for them.

On the most basic level, Soles4Souls distributes donated shoes and clothing to people in need, at no cost. This ongoing work is a key component of their overall mission: Wearing Out Poverty. But it’s just one facet of the work they undertake to serve those in need, create opportunity, and protect the environment. By redirecting shoes and clothing from landfills to those who need them, they also champion sustainability.

With over thirty million pairs of shoes distributed thus far, plus literally tons of clothing, author Buddy Teaster outlines Soles4Souls' evolution in Shoestrings, reflecting the power of their work and the significant change they’ve been able to enact. Teaster delves into inspiring stories of how the organization has not only provided essential items to individuals but has also fostered entrepreneurship and economic independence in impoverished communities through micro-business programs.

Begun in response to the Indian Ocean tsunami that struck multiple countries in 2004, Soles4Souls was initially known as a disaster-relief organization. The story of their transformation to the deeper mission they pursue today as a registered non-profit is one of humanitarian concern, human frailty and error, and humankind’s ability to overcome seemingly insurmountable circumstances. Through innovative strategies and partnerships, Soles4Souls continues to fight poverty and inspire hope worldwide.

François Sicart shares his lessons on life and wealth building from fifty years on Wall Street.
Good fortune helps, but lasting wealth and generational patrimonies are built through instinct, timing, and patience. No one understands that better than François Sicart, whose own fifty-year career on Wall Street originated from a simple twist of fate.
With a veteran’s expert wisdom, Sicart shares insights from his distinguished career in the service of families and individuals. From epic trades to manic bubbles and massive crashes, to maintaining a steady hand at the helm of two companies as the industry underwent many changes, Sicart managed to grow clients’ fortunes through it all. Not merely a book about investment, Luck Is Not Enough examines the delicate family dynamics involved in building a patrimony—and warns against the mistakes that make it so easy to lose a fortune between generations.
Luck Is Not Enough is a compelling reminder that one should train oneself to look for opportunities, not right in front of one’s nose but in less obvious places—and to have the boldness and vision to go for it, even when the crowd holds back.

It’s Time to Adapt for the New Era of Business

In March of 2020, most of the world—along with our politicians—panicked. When presented with an unfamiliar threat in the form of the novel coronavirus, life as we knew it shut down. Without having a plan, we responded in a panic, with no understanding of the true risk to our health or our economy. Our collective reaction to the virus points to one crucial factor: We as a society do not question what we are told—potentially to our own detriment.

This book is not about pointing fingers and laying blame. It is about building an inquisitive spirit and forming our own opinions through critical thinking. It is about considering how to achieve success in a new way going forward.

What’s the “secret sauce” to Supercharged Communications? Can it be quantified? Can it be taught? More than that, as a leader, who are you? What are the values you project—not just in the workplace but 24/7?

David Schreiner, Ph.D., spent years researching and speaking to executives and people in large organizations across the country to try to discover just that. The good news is he uncovered three essential elements to communication:

Engage and connect at a personal level.
Engage with intent through various mediums.
Be mission-focused through united leadership.

He also pinpointed fifteen effective strategies—principles and concepts you could begin to apply to your organization today. He created a platform of Supercharged Communications he could use as a CEO in the healthcare industry—but that could be applied no matter the sector, no matter the circumstances.

Utilizing the technique of Appreciative Inquiry—and a real and personal desire to connect with others, David Schreiner has embraced authentic leadership and distilled its best practices. Research-based and actionable, Schreiner invites the reader on a personal journey to get at the very heart of their organization—and the communications principles that can ensure readers are the best part of the day for the people they encounter.

One Big Idea

Organizations have to be good at lots of things, but the way to win is to become differentiatingly great at One Thing. The one thing every executive team must decide is, "What is your One Thing?"Four Typical ResponsesBased on our experience, we know that the Decide One Thing concept will get four different responses.

Some organizations will categorically reject the idea that they need to become great at One Thing.

Some will think it is cool, but get distracted by the next cool idea or fad that comes along. Some will embrace the concept for a time, but give up because implementing it is too hard.

A few executive teams will fully commit to the Decide One Thing. Align Everything. Win! model. These organizations will generate incredible results – 30, 60 or 100 times their investment.

So, which of the four responses will you have?

The three most incredible blessings in life are not recognized while you have them but only after you’ve lost them: your health, youth, and freedom. All three are connected. There is great freedom in taking charge of your health. The benefits impact the quality of your entire life.

There has never been a moment like this in history. Our generation is the first to have a choice in how we age. Because of the development and perfection of bio-identical hormone replacement therapy, we can now choose to change our hormone chemistry back to the way it was when we were 25 years old.

In my practice, we have placed bio-identical hormone pellets subcutaneously for over 20,000 men and women over the last decade. No severe complications. Over 98 percent patient satisfaction. Scientists and researchers in study after study have cleared the way for this dream.

We use holistically developed, plant-based hormone pellets that dissolve over time, adding just the right amount of hormone restoration. The days of synthetic hormones are over.

We’re stopping the discomfort of aging. What’s the downside of preventing dementia, stopping osteoporosis, or lessening your chance of disease? “Watchful waiting” does not make any sense to me. What are you watching for? Why wait? Do you want these diseases to attack you before you put up your defenses? You could enjoy intimacy with your partner again. You might enjoy traveling healthily with a healthy partner. You might see the doctor less. Your life will have new energy.

The sooner you restore your hormones, the less likely you will lead a frail elderly conclusion to your life. We replace hormones in patients from 18 to 86 years of age, with most patients complaining of running out of gas, tired of being tired, grumpy, unmotivated, or suffering from brain fog, menopause (men and women), and other physical symptoms.

Our hormones are vital. And why would we live over half of our life without them? What could we alleviate? Visceral fat, diabetes, osteoporosis, dementia, all these things if we had a youthful chemistry. I love this restoration of youth. It’s the coolest thing I have ever seen. “We’re restoring the homeostasis balance of our body.” We’re restoring the homeostasis balance of our body. That’s all we’re doing. The body itself is brilliant enough to do its work. We’re bio-identically restoring the fuel source.

Use your medical freedom. Watch the results.

Once your hormone levels are like a 25-year-old again, and you have the accumulated knowledge and wisdom of your years, that’s the holy grail. The holy grail is having your health and life span occupy the same real estate. For me, that’s all we can ever ask for in this life.

That’s all we’re trying to do. That’s our holy grail. That’s our journey. Restoration.

This is your personal invitation to age gracefully.

WHEN YOU START WITH LOVE, YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING
In From GED to Harvard Then Inc. 500, be prepared to fall not just for a city but for a couple who firmly believe that the most wildly successful businesses don’t start with a sale or even a product … they start with a desire to engage with others.
When they bought a run-down little market in 1982, the Wolfes didn’t even consider the idea of failing. At seventeen and nineteen years old, Jane and Scott knew that if they were going to succeed, they needed to put their whole heart into their business. And it worked. The Wolfes found that success isn’t as much about what you sell—it’s about the feelings that your team members project and your customers walk away with. In short, it’s about love.
From GED to Harvard Then Inc. 500 walks with the Wolfes through their journey from the early years of Wagner’s Meat, its growth and utter destruction by Hurricane Katrina, their astonishing rebuilding, and the realization of running a New Orleans icon that has a little bit of everything ... and a whole lot of community engagement.

The Corporateneur Plan shares stories and teachings from the business journey of Ken Rohl over a lifetime building an extraordinarily successful presence in the “white space” he identified within the luxury home market. Grounded in research and enlivened with personal anecdotes, The Corporateneur Plan is a guidebook for every aspiring entrepreneur to read before cutting the cord from their corporate careers and setting out on their own journey.

These are the “rules of the road” that Ken’s son Greg adopted, trademarking his consulting company “The Rohl Model.” Its value proposition is rooted in 40 years of proven processes developed over Ken’s lifetime of learning, teaching, leading, and building relationships—with employees, customers, suppliers, and the myriad of associations that together contributed to his successes. This book is a roadmap for others who, like Ken, Pam, and Greg, stepped out of a corporate career to start a business of their own.

What Was Your First Memory of Race?

This opening question is the heart and soul of “Room at the Table.” The word equity is thrown around in multiple media outlets, corporations, and non-profits. Diversity, Equity, Inclusion… Many shy away from these terms, convinced that they already understand. In truth, these concepts are a mystery to most. It’s more important than ever to grasp the vital, far-reaching aim of the equity lens. What does this work look like? What does it sound like? What actions must equity leaders take to turn the future of leadership into a reality?

With public health injustices on the rise, grounded equity leadership can forge the path to a more healthy, understanding, and effective outlook for all of our futures. In her groundbreaking work, Dr. Renee Branch Canady, CEO of the Michigan Public Health Institute, shares through research and candid stories what it’s like to be on the front lines as an equity public health leader. In a culture centered on optics, Dr. Canady brings to light the true act of doing for the sake of change.

Points of focus include:

• The innovative concept of “Leadering”
• Using our outrage to enact change
• Seeing, saying, and doing differently
• Acting courageously in the face of institutional racism
• Leading with authenticity
• Harboring the conviction to move equity work forward, one step at a time

In Dr. Canady’s words, “Health equity leadership is a new leadership in this space that’s predicated by what’s happening at this moment. It hasn’t happened before. Focusing on others, a willingness to be courageous, and a willingness to do something that hasn’t been done before is a grey space in health equity leadership.”

“Room at the Table” addresses this grey space with unflinching honestly and hope.

In survey after survey, executives list attracting and retaining top talent as their #1 issue. Is it your top concern?

While the people puzzle isn’t easy to solve, this book features compelling research, specific personal and client stories, and key perspectives from top business leaders and experts—all in a format that’s easy to read and prompts readers to act.

Kathleen Quinn Votaw has years of experience working with CEOs who understand that traditional staffing methods don’t work for today’s companies, and in this book she offers advice on how to: keep “A Players” engaged, boosting retention and reducing turnover; attract people who will thrive in a demanding, uncertain, entrepreneurial environment; and Always Be Cultivating (ABC) by thinking of recruitment as a sales process.

Have you ever struggled with giants that stand in your way? Maybe you’re building a business but fear the uncertainty you face. You know you need to innovate, but you’re worried about the potential consequences of taking that next step. And like many leaders, you have a picture of success in your head, but you don’t know how to get to where you want to go. If this is where you are, this book is for you.

In Turning the Giant, John Berra shares his amazing life’s journey that took him from being a shy, uncertain university student to becoming the Chairman of Emerson Process Management. As someone who was voted into the Process Automation Hall of Fame, Berra writes from a place of authority and conviction. Because he has faced countless giants along his path, he knows what it takes to turn them.

Today, the challenges leaders face today are more complex than they have ever been. Giants such as technological advancement and global competition make it tough for the average business leader to survive. But it’s here that Berra’s challenge to “turn giants” is invaluable. Most giants leaders face will never be slain. They will always exist in some form. But rather than see them as a threat, great leaders realize it’s even more valuable to turn giants to their advantage.

Berra’s goal is to inspire a new generation of leaders to confront the complex challenges they face today. Yes, the technological challenges of today are different than Berra faced in the 1990s, but the principles for turning giants remain the same. Every leader faces the giants of corporate bureaucracy, self-doubt, innovation, skepticism, competition, and success. But it’s up to them to turn them.

Turning the Giant will motivate you to put your best foot forward.

Launch your ERP the right way.

The concept of an ERP system—where all of your company’s software talks with each other—is pretty amazing. But sometimes, launching one into your ecosystem can be treacherous. And why wouldn’t it be? You only update your ERP once every ten to fifteen years, so there’s often nobody at your organization that’s been through one, much less two, who could show you the way. Mistakes are bound to happen, but the benefits are manifold. How do you cross that chasm?

First, you get the experience you need, and in this case it’s through Evan Schwartz. He’s got over thirty years of experience working with ERP systems and has helped dozens of companies implement software systems that have saved them millions along the way. This book, People, Places, and Things, shows you the potential traps, tricks, and problems you might find along the path of rolling out your ERP, told through real-world stories from Evan’s decades of experience. You’ll hear about the CEO who saved $160,000 a day by stopping production of an unnecessary report and learn the arduous tale of a company that lost over $75 million because of poor planning during their rollout.

Learn how to:

• Create a vision statement for your ERP rollout
• Determine who goes on what team and why
• Trust your vendor
• Avoid potential problems before they happen

… and much more.

As you weave your way through the book, you’ll also find tips and tricks to guide you on your own path. Think of Evan as your own personal ERP sherpa who helps guide you through the process of rolling out your ERP, taking you down the right paths along the way.

If you’re planning on installing a new ERP system, this is the first book you should read.

The thought of selling your business has been nipping at the edges of your mind. This may have been happening for several months, or perhaps the thought has recently come to the forefront.

Perhaps you’ve been keeping a file with materials about selling your company that holds information about potential buyers, news on sales in your industry, potential service providers and random Mergers and Acquisition (M&A) facts. Or, you may be the type of person who has already put a lot of time and effort into preparing to sell. You may have already consulted business partners, if you have them, your lawyer, your accountant, your banker or wealth advisor, your wife or husband or trusted college roommate.

You may have had this “Should I sell ? ” question rattling around in the back of your mind for some time, but your business has been your primary attention. Then, out of the blue, someone has approached you with an offer to buy your company. It’s nice that someone’s shown interest, but it’s also caught you off guard. You don’t know where to turn or who you can trust. Even if they’ve given you a written offer, sometimes that’s in the form of a “Letter of Intent” or “LOI,” and even if the offer is acceptable, you worry. Is it a fair price? Should you go ahead? How should you proceed?

If you identify with any of the above scenarios, Lift Off! What You Need to Know to Sell Your Business is the right book for you!

Regardless of the size of your company, where you are located, or what industry you’re in, it is essentially a “machine” that takes in revenue and produces profits. But is the machine you’ve built valuable to someone else? This book will help you determine if your business — your cash generating machine — is valuable and how much it might be worth.

Naturally you want to get the best deal possible and really understand the terms of that deal. No matter how much planning you’ve already done or haven’t done, there are probably aspects of preparing your company for sale, and going through the M&A journey, that you’re unaware of. This book will guide you, explaining in simple terms what you need to do and how you need to do it.

You will:
• Get a general working knowledge of the entire sale process, front to back.
• Figure out if the business you now own — that “machine” that takes in revenue and spins off profit — will have value to a new owner.
• Understand how outsiders would calculate the value of your company/machine.
• Recognize potential pitfalls and tradeoffs ahead.
• Ensure appropriate confidentiality, so that word doesn’t get out to the wrong people.
• And better handle the normal emotions that every owner feels upon selling his or her company, or business “machine.”

Are you ready?

It’s time to sell your business and lift off to your next stage in life.

A Great Smile is the Window to the Soul
Many people during their lifetimes will encounter issues with their teeth, whether they are people who crack or chip teeth playing sports or from other trauma, or people who have genetic disorders leading to teeth that cause them pain and anxiety. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
Cosmetic dentistry has a wider range of treatment options than most people think—from simple whitening procedures to full-mouth reconstruction with implants, veneers, crowns, and more. With so many options, figuring out which treatment works best for you can be a headache.
Dr. Hugh Flax wrote A Smile Is Always in Style: How to Look Great and Feel Amazing for those who want to improve their smiles for health reasons, to build confidence, or for those who simply want to be happier with the person they see in the mirror. His hope is that whoever reads this book will learn the options they have with cosmetic dentistry so they can transform their lives forever.

Did you know?

Eight out of ten people consider your smile the most dominant feature of your facial appearance! Don’t just say, ‘Ah!’ Be a smart dental consumer and get the best information on one of the most important health investments you can make! A visit to the dentist is about more than just brushing and flossing. It’s about one of the most visible and important parts of who you are—your smile!

The Farmer’s Code takes you on a hero’s journey of self-development. It follows a path of transformation and growth to help you become your true, highest self. This journey will lead to a greater understanding of the self and a deeper connection to one’s own values and core principles, which paves the way for a long-lasting legacy.

Legacies provide a roadmap for future generations, showing those who follow your footsteps what is possible as they strive to reach their full potential. Filled with personal stories of the struggles and triumphs of one American farming family, the Code shows how legacies are about more than just personal fulfillment. They can have a profound impact on the lives of others by serving as a guiding light to those who are seeking a better way to live. Just as airline passengers are instructed to see to their own oxygen masks first in the event of an emergency before helping others, legacy building has to start with the self. When you are safe, secure, and strong, you are in a much better position to turn outward to help others. It is then that you can help address societal challenges, advance knowledge and innovation, promote social change, or support the important causes you see in your community.

The Farmer’s Code should spark aspirations, ignite passion, and encourage everyone to strive for greatness. By considering the lasting impact you can make, you will be able to live more purposefully and leave a more positive imprint on the world.

LET’S GET REAL:
The vast majority of leadership development programs don’t work. Not only do they feel irrelevant—failing to address the issues that keep leaders up at night—even when they are on point, without built-in opportunities for leaders to practice what they’ve learned, those lessons don’t stick. To cultivate better leaders—ones who can serve as the next generation of senior management, bring business to new heights, and stay with the organization long enough to create lasting change— we need a better solution. Leaders Deserve Better is that solution.
Relying on her experience working with leaders, Jennifer Mackin begins by laying out the problem with standard development practices using real-life examples that illustrate the impact of inadequate development. She gives readers a glimpse of the myriad benefits of a better—and entirely revolutionized—approach, offering tools for leaders to conduct their own assessments to discover the gaps in their programming. Armed with these insights, senior leaders can ignite their own leadership development revolutions that support the effective development that all leaders deserve.

STRIVE TOGETHER TO BUILD A CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM
Do you want to build winning teams or championship teams?
Winning teams are results-obsessed. Any result will do no matter how low the bar—whatever it takes to compare favorably with The Competition. These teams are built from the outside-in. Decisions are made after asking questions like: “How will this look?” “How will this feel?” and, most importantly, “How will we compare?”
Championship teams are driven by a purpose that transcends winning. Champions don’t compare - they compete based on the origin of compete, ‘to strive together.’ Championship teams are built from the inside-out. Decisions are made after asking: “Will this align with who we are?” and, most importantly, “Will this make us better?”
Today we live in a world of ambiguity. Young people are entering a workplace that is increasingly disruptive and unpredictable. Seeking to work collaboratively is no longer sufficient to meet this challenge. Simply “working together” was perfect for Henry Ford’s assembly line. But in today’s rapid change economy “striving together” is required because productivity and the ability to constantly innovate have become the keys to success.
Winning teams are focused on competing externally. They are built to project a certain image. Championship teams are built to innovate. They compete internally and create their own best practices - which prepares them for anything The Competition throws at them!
In Strive Together, Jeff Moore provides business leaders with a framework for building teams that achieve beyond expectations in a rapid change environment and helps leaders in education understand how to prepare young people to thrive in ambiguity!

How can parents take back their power to discover and develop the best way to parent for their child?

By hitting the pause button, shutting out all the noise that tells them how they should parent, and building the confidence to create the relationship that best nurtures and supports their children’s well-being and independence.

Three years into parenting, Lisa Anderson realized that the way she was parenting wasn’t healthy for her or her daughter. She sought counseling to help her figure it out, and so began her journey of discovering the best parenting approach for her child.

Lisa had her work cut out for her. When her daughter was six, the advisors at her school expressed concern that she had ADHD. Lisa took her to a psychologist who, after months of testing, diagnosed her with BRAT syndrome. “It took me a minute to realize what he meant—she was a brat.”

It was at this point that Lisa realized she had never said “no” to her daughter, not because she thought it was best for her daughter, but because that’s what she knew.

“I was going to create a little monster if I didn’t change my way of thinking and shift my focus from what I needed to what my daughter needed.”

It was a difficult concept to understand, and an even more challenging task to achieve, but through her work on her own trauma coupled with her education and experience in social work and counseling, Lisa figured it out. Not the way to be a perfect parent, but the way to be the best parent for her child. Isn’t that what every parent really wants and what every child deserves?

Fear, guilt, and social pressures are driving parents to be over-involved and their children to be overscheduled and overstressed. Children’s freedom to develop their autonomy is being restricted under the guise of keeping them safe from things we simply cannot control. Hypervigilant parenting comes at a significant cost to all of us, as is evident through the increasing number of anxious and depressed children and the emerging adults who lack the confidence and the skills to be self-sufficient. Somewhere along the way we have forgotten that our number one job as parents is to raise our children to be capable, independent adults.

Something needs to change.

In The Spirit of Philanthropy, Frank Pisch dissects fundraising, showing how it is both an art and a science. Pisch, the founder of The Compass Group, uses his knowledge in the field to give philanthropists an understanding of best practices for fundraising.

From the early stages of a fundraising campaign to the days after it’s done, The Spirit of Philanthropy will be your blueprint for raising money for your nonprofit and more.

BUT HER SPIRIT HAS BEEN
CLAIMED BY A DARK PRESENCE.

“I can’t wait to get to work!”
When was the last time you felt that way? Have you ever?
Mark McClain has and still does. He and his leadership teams have focused on creating companies that make the quality of their employees’ work experiences of equal importance to the quality of the solutions those employees create.

Speaking directly to the lack of fulfillment that too often accompanies work—with generous portions of humor and irreverence—Mark McClain deconstructs the modern business environment, then puts it back together.
Shot through with pithy tales from his own experiences, Joy and Success at Work is Mark’s honest take on what team building can be, and done right, what it produces: Great places to work that support people’s broader lives, rather than sucking the life out of them.

The Stepped Approach: Onboard Better, Systemize Smarter, and Bring Out the Best in Your Sales Team

It is a mystery why sales leaders are often thrown into their positions without a clue as to how to go about guiding a sales team. In most professions, training is a requirement, but many times sales leaders are simply hired with the expectation that they intrinsically know how to motivate and encourage a team. Most often this is not the case and author Dionne Mejer has spent the last several decades training sales leaders how to effectively lead using a simple-to-follow stepped approach that consistently gives great results.
In The Stepped Approach: Onboard Better, Systemize Smarter, and Bring Out the Best in Your Sales Team, Dionne lays out a simple but effective system that will have your sales team buzzing with productivity, team spirit, and positivity. She holds nothing back when sharing a system that she has proven to be highly effective and manageable. Using worksheets, scorecards, and accountability activities, sales leaders are taught not only how to bring out the best in their teams, but to use what they’ve learned to become great all-around leaders both in their professional and personal lives.
