Book Description
"Sandra Shpilberg is a unicorn and this book is one, too. Simultaneously profound and practical, replete with the soundest advice and great storytelling while being tender toward the reader's soul, this is a game-changing must-read for anyone who dreams of creating a business--and in particular for those who don't fit the mold. Go Sandra Shpilberg, go!"--Julie Lythcott-Haims, author of the New York Times bestseller How to Raise an Adult, and Real American: A Memoir Sandra Shpilberg will show you a new way to succeed as an entrepreneur! This provocative startup tale of success exposes Silicon Valley's startup myths and sets forth a new approach for aspiring and current founders to build companies that make an impact. In New Startup Mindset, Sandra Shpilberg, founder and CEO of Seeker Health, introduces a new mindset for starting and building a successful company. Shpilberg shows that Silicon Valley's startup formula--a few young male cofounders attempting to build a unicorn funded by venture capital--is a broken system that puts excessive emphasis on hype and improbable outsized outcomes, disregards real results such as revenue and profit, and promotes limiting beliefs for the next generation of entrepreneurs. When Shpilberg founded Seeker Health, a digital patient-finding platform, in 2015, she did almost everything differently than the blazed path: she chose to be a solo founder, didn't pursue an incubator, didn't accept outside funding, led development of software despite not being a programmer, and charged customers from month one. Instead of creating hype about fundraising based on fictitious valuations, Shpilberg focused on customer needs, yielding a startup with revenue, profit, and impact; and three years later, a large life science services company acquired her startup while she was still the sole owner. In this expanded second edition, Shpilberg shares her success story of starting, building, and exiting her startup and provides readers with sage insights and practical tools to follow this approach. This book is simultaneously a needed dose of reality for Silicon Valley and a large serving of inspiration for those who want to create something from nothing. It is a must-read for aspiring startup founders and current entrepreneurs, especially those who may think they don't fit the mold of a Silicon Valley founder and are open to a new way of making a definitive and profound impact with the companies they create.

Book Description
Cliff Walker is The World's #1 Authority on Building a Global Home Business. Having worked in corporations for over 20 years, Cliff was the epitome of success--but he still felt like a cog in the corporate machine, with little freedom or sense of ownership in his position. Cliff had held influential positions in a number of big corporations, among them the beverage giant Diagio, which owns brands like Smirnoff, Guinness and Johnnie Walker. When he worked for them, Cliff enjoyed great salaries, benefits and bonuses, but his sense of insecurity and doubt persisted--and there was always a ceiling on his earnings. As he considered his options, Cliff noticed that there were many business leaders who had achieved a great deal in the corporate world but felt that they weren't really building anything. Some of his successful contemporaries had learned the hard way that they were just one layoff away from having to start all over again. While working as a management consultant, Cliff came across a business model that held some promise, but which had been abused by a lot of companies and garnered something of a bad reputation. Working the bugs out of it, Cliff discovered that the system gave him the opportunity to completely change the way he worked and to dramatically enhance his lifestyle. Ultimately, Cliff refined his system into one that will generate a long-term sustainable business while you remain at work, creating a significant parallel income. Then, you can choose whether or not to scale into exponential growth, using your new business as your main wealth-generating vehicle. In The Entrepreneur Mindset Shift: Owning Your Own Global Home Business, Cliff Walker reveals the processes that will enable you to plan your path toward building a secure, corporate politics and salary cap-free income! In this groundbreaking book, you'll discover how to: Challenge the limiting corporate mindset Understand wealth creation and the power of entrepreneurial enterprise Develop the tools to work from home and begin building your income Understand the fundamental principles behind working less to earn more Anticipate the pitfalls and unforeseen events that could pull the rug out from under you.

Book Description
When there is no job available, the enterprising person makes one! But what happens when that plan fails, too? Are you a Formerly Corporate employee? Did your good corporate job evaporate in the Great Recession so you decided to open a business? Does your retirement plan include a second career as a business owner? How's that working out for you? New business creation has steadily climbed since 2006, but the rate of business failures has also increased. In fact, it almost doubled in the past few years. Part of the problem, says Lorette Pruden, PhD., is that many Formerly Corporate workers don't shift their mindset from employee to business owner. If Plan A was your corporate career and Plan B a business that just isn't making you the money you want or need, the answer, says Pruden, is Plan C. "You need to make big changes to shift from corporate employee to business owner-bigger than you think." In her book you will learn How your Formerly Corporate Outlook gets in your way That you know more, and less, than you think The three characteristics that show you've made the shift Pruden, herself a Formerly Corporate chemical engineer turned successful business coach, gives you a step by step plan to move from Formerly Corporate to Conquering Entrepreneur."

Book Description
The Secret to Taking Your Business from Mediocre to Meaningfully Different? Thinking like a marketer. It’s also the secret to moving your organization from status quo to success story, and from busy to profitable. In an easy-to-read, practical new guidebook, acclaimed marketing expert Kate Colbert offers fresh insights into the actions and attitudes that can accelerate your business success, sharpen your daily work, and balance your efforts to create value for customers while capturing value for the bottom line. For non-marketers and marketers alike, truly thinking like a marketer requires the right framework, and this book is everything you need to make the mindset shift that can change everything for your business. “An MBA in a book? That’s exactly what I consider this to be! ... Trust me -- this book can help you to grow your business!” -- Lois Creamer, Author of Book More Business: Make Money Speaking It doesn’t matter whether you’re a management consultant or the owner of a diner that serves the best biscuits and gravy in town, the ability to think like a marketer will give you a competitive edge. Business owners and leaders are invariably stuck in the frenzied current moment -- chasing the next piece of revenue, getting through the next project, putting out the next proverbial fire, or surviving the next people-problem that’s bound to come up. Think Like a Marketer offers a fresh new approach to a more powerful and lasting way to do business that involves a sometimes-subtle but always-impactful shift in mindset. It’s time to think like a marketer. Thinking like a marketer requires that you: 1.Communicate for connection and meaning, not just to transact sales 2.Live and die by your customer insights 3.Market in a way that’s strategy-religious and tactic-agnostic 4.Create cultures and processes that align with your brand 5.Do everything in service of maintaining a virtuous cycle of creating value for the customer while capturing value for you. The 5 Think Like a Marketer Principles are the framework for Colbert’s valuable insights and practical tips about: •Brand storytelling •Sampling strategies •Smart monetization •Testing new marketing tactics •Conducting critical market research •The perils of do-it-yourself marketing •Building and maintaining lists and pipelines •Innovating product and service deliverables •Being known, being seen and networking in new ways •Delivering customer service, even when the going gets tough •Innovations in distribution and packaging •Creating meaningful connections with your customers Read this book if you are a: •Business owner without a background in marketing •Business professional in a small- to mid-sized company or a Fortune 1000 company •Professional speaker, blogger or thought leader •Non-profit professional •Marketer Thinking like a marketer allows decision-makers -- at every level, in any kind of organization and with backgrounds in any area of functional expertise -- to accomplish more while spending less time and money. A marketing mindset can be the key to sustained profitable growth and meaningful connections with loyal customers. Far from a simple “Marketing 101” for non-marketers, this book is a topical smorgasbord designed to feed the curiosities and satisfy the business needs that all business professionals (including marketers) ultimately crave.
