The business book market is busy with books all basically delivering the same advice in the same way. This audience is now demanding something unique, something different and something effective. Snappy, fast-paced and often very surprising, this book is packed with counter-intuitive wisdom that delivers that unique and original angle that readers want. Business book buyers are looking for efficient and inspirational ways to be more successful and more effective in everything they do. They know that the most successful bend the rulesits their willingness to go against the grain and challenge convention that makes them stand out. These are the rules of business that demand to be broken, the ones where the perceived wisdom may no longer be the right way, and a new direction is a more reliable route to success. 100 popular business conventions are profiled, challenged and proven false before a fresh approach is given. Whilst it is often laugh-out-loud funny and witty it is also deadly serious as it seeks to deliver powerful, effective bitesize advice that will make a real difference. This pithy, original and authoritative package will stand out strongly as unusual, imaginative and inventive and quickly establish itself as a must-read business classic.

Through a combination of ground breaking new research, practical exercises, interactive case studies and no-nonsense advice, this book shows you how to understand, develop and use the following skills: Adaptability: Its more important than ever to be flexible and agile to help you respond effectively to challenges and grab new opportunities. Resilience: Youll need to learn how to bounce back from failure, learn from your experience, and attack the next challenge with equal boldness. Optimism: Know how to develop and keep a positive attitude no matter what life throws at you. Integrity: Trust, values, principles and honesty are the name of the game now as is authenticity. Critical thinking: Your attitude needs to be more open than ever. To challenge assumptions, look at things from different angles, think outside the box, collaborate with others, clarify goals and find solutions. Pro-activity: Employers are looking for self-starters, not someone who needs to have their hands held. Being proactive means thinking and acting ahead and using foresight. Empathy: Why is empathy important? Without it you will never have strong listening skills or the ability to respect others and value your relationships. Managing and nurturing all your relationships will be a key skill.

Society is spiralling towards always-on as a default setting. Digital distraction is now a way of life. This is so ingrained that people are not questioning their habits or regulating their behaviour. They are not aware of the consequences of scatter-brain. This book is a wake-up call. It provides a solution for the lack of productivity caused by scatter-brain living. It calls for a stop to digital devices being referred to at all times. This book will improve focus and reduce stress. It will improve relationships, health, and happiness. The book is split into two parts. Part one sets the scene and identifies the problems. Part two looks at how to get focused. There are three key areas which are addressed: Focus your attention and you will be happier. Stop scatter-brain behaviour and you will be more productive. Focus is better for your brain, your work, and your relationships.

Frances Booth is a successful writer and editor who has worked for more than seven years on national newspapers. She currently works part-time at The Guardian. She is extremely passionate about the subjects of attention, distraction and switching off. She has developed methods for being highly focused in the way she works, and is acutely aware of people who suffer lack of productivity due to distractions. She is in the unusual position of being employed and also selfemployed, and has observed what big business can learn from entrepreneurs in terms of productivity and focus (when you work for yourself, if you waste time its your own). She is part of the innovation-focused co-working space The Cube, where the emphasis is on how the brain responds, and generating ideas. She has worked on idea generation for clients including Virgin Media. Most strategy books on the market are about formulating and developing a winning strategy. Executing that strategy is often neglected. Making Your Strategy Work will show you how to get your strategy from paper to people. With help from 100 leading executives, including Justin King (CEO of Sainsburys), Bob McDonald (CEO of Procter & Gamble) and Terry Leahy (ex-CEO of Tesco), this book answers the big strategy questions: Why is strategy development so difficult these days? How do you engage your people with your strategy? How do you lead and manage strategy effectively? Short, punchy and highly practical. Exactly what time-poor executives and aspiring managers need to make strategy happen. A rounded and objective view - based on interviews with 100 top global CEOs, giving fascinating real life insights on what the best actually do. Offers something different: there are many books on the market about formulating and developing a winning strategy, but executing that strategy is often neglected.

Aimed at a large and growing market: The number of doit-yourself investors (people who invest without a financial advisor) is due to grow by 71% a year for the next 3 years. This is due to changes implemented by the FSA on 31st December 2012 whereby financial advisors are paid a standard fee rather than a commission. Targeted: A large proportion of the investors already trading directly, refer to themselves as DIY investors. Accessible: It demystifies jargon and helps investors clearly identify and understand the financial products on the market. Practical: It shows investors how to build a stable financial portfolio at the fraction of the cost of using professionals. Offers more for less: It helps investors to save money by avoiding poor value products, introducing them to free research tools to compare financial products and helping them save tax by managing their affairs in a more tax efficient way. At the same time, investors position themselves to make more money by making betterinformed financial decisions.

Andy Bell is a DIY investment pioneer. He co-founded A J Bell in 1995 since when it has grown into one of the largest providers of low-cost investment and stockbroker services in the UK. Many DIY investors will already know who he is and will want to benefit from his experience and expertise. Andy and his business have been recognized with a number of entrepreneurial and business awards over recent years, including winning the Ernst & Young Business Consumer Entrepreneur of the Year 2009. Lars Kroijer uses his expert knowledge to explain that you dont need to outperform the markets. Rather he demonstrates that you can gain tremendously from a simple and cheap portfolio, tailored to incorporate your individual circumstances. You'll learn about the things you really need to know about, while finding out about those things you dont need to worry about. Above all, youll find out how to put together a successful and profitable trading portfolio. This book shows you: How to put together a cost-effective and time-effective investment portfolio Why its not worth trying to out perform the market How to build and tailor your portfolio to your own specific needs How to incorporate your other financial assets

Takes a unique view of the subject of entrepreneurship. No other book shows you how to comprehensively assess your ideas before you write your business plan. This new edition focuses on lean start ups; a method that focuses on experimentation rather than fixed business plans. There are strong benchmarks for this method, including The Lean Start-Up. The book focuses on a model called the Seven Domains of Attractive Opportunities. This model is used to answer the live-or-die questions in assessing any new business opportunity. It includes a diverse range of case studies including Nike, Starbucks, Wholefoods, Ebay, Walmart and Nokia. It will be accompanied by an app that has two primary functions firstly to make headline points available to users; secondly, to be used as a marketing tool for the book. The app and book will release simultaneously. The current RRP of the app is 4.

There are millions of people around the world stuck in boring, dead-end day jobs or recently made redundant. Theyre fantasising about realising their self-employment dreams. Employee to Entrepreneur shows exactly how they can stop dreaming and start doing. The economy is bad and getting worse. As lay-offs, redundancies, downsizing and off shoring become a reality for millions, so the number of new businesses grow, as do the sales of start-up books and other resources. Employee to Entrepreneur fills a big gap in the market. No other book effectively focuses on how to make a seamless move from employment to self-employed or how to effectively harness, utilise and exploit the skills and expertise already gained. The empowering title package is realistic in its approach, recognising that far from being a trendy go-getter, bursting with revolutionary new product concepts and looking to make millions, the average entrepreneur is over 40, building a business around expertise they already have and is looking for help to generate a stable income and create a professional life they can enjoy. Anyone can turn a career brick wall into an exciting opportunity. This book dispels all the myths, dissolves all the obstacles and takes readers on a start-up journey that will help them to assess their options, appraise their ideas, establish a sensible, functioning business and use the wealth of knowledge, expertise and insight their employment will have taught them.

Job hunters are finding that even the most thorough, well-presented traditional CV is no longer effective. And frazzled recruiters just dont have time to effectively read the avalanche of multi-page CVs they receive with every job they post. When you realize that, on average, most recruiters spend just six seconds looking at an applicants CV its not hard to work out that vital information is being missed and more than one page is wasted. A One-Page CV is the answer. Its guaranteed to stand out. Its quick, short, to the point. Its more likely to be read in its entirety and it will be received with enthusiasm and as a welcome relief by busy recruiters. Writing a one-page CV does not take less time, its not easier or simpler to execute, you do not have to put less effort it, and you dont have to do any less preparation. This book shows you the importance of those preparatory steps, coaches you through each and then shows you how to expertly craft and present a succinct, informative and outstanding CV with impact that will impress any potential employer. Its the future of CV writing, its what recruiters want and its what job-hunters need to succeed.

30% of us work more than 48 hours per week. As we try to pack more things into our day, we become increasingly stressed, overworked and tired. Most people finish their working day too exhausted to do anything much more than eat, watch TV and fall in to bed. Its hardly a recipe for fulfilment and its something that everyone wishes they could change. The Energy Equation explains how we all have the potential to get 15-19 hours of fully-energised waking hours from our day, and shows us just how to achieve it. The opportunity for more productive, industrious and efficient waking hours is a persuasive promise and will resonate with the thousands of people wishing they had more energy and more time to get more done. Working hours quickly transform from overwhelmingly stressful and fraught to tireless, enthused, excited and unstoppable as powerful techniques show readers how to handle everything the working day has to throw at them, whilst still having time and energy to impress the boss and develop their career. After work, the book shows how readers will still have plenty of energy to pursue their own personal goals and fulfil their ambitions. Work will be easier and less stressful, so their life will be too. The Energy Equation is fun, motivating and action-packed.
