Un negocio es en última instancia sobre la libertad. Scaling Up le muestra a los dueños cómo alcanzar la libertad sin importar cuán grande crece su negocio.

Like Covey before him, Brenneman believes that true business success and personal fulfillment are two sides of the same coin. The techniques that will grow your business will also help you achieve a rich, purposeful, and integrated life.

In Right Away and All At Once, Brenneman takes what he's learned from turning around or tuning up many businesses―including Continental Airlines and Burger King―and distills it into a simple, clear, 5-step roadmap that anyone can follow. His 5 steps teach you how to prepare a succinct Go Forward plan, build a fortress balance sheet, grow your sales and profits, choose all-star servant leaders, and empower your team.

For more than thirty years, Brenneman has seen these steps foster dramatic results in a variety of business environments. But ten years ago he realized that he could apply these same business principles to improve his life and build a lasting moral legacy. He found he could make better decisions by carefully taking the most important facets of his life―faith, family, friendship, fitness, and finance―into consideration.

Brenneman's inspiring examples, from both his business and life, demonstrate the astounding effects these 5 steps can have when you apply them right away and all at once.

Retirement Income Source(R) is revolutionizing the way Americans and their advisors plan and save for retirement!

Since its launch in 2019, Retirement Income Source(R) has been shattering many of the myths that most financial advisors have promoted for decades. Myths like, the 4 percent withdrawal strategy is the best way to generate retirement income, or bond funds are a good conservative option for investors in retirement.

Simon Sinek say's What he was actually teaching us was how to be better human beings.

1 in 4 people capable of giving birth will have an abortion in their lifetime.

Abortion is common. It's everyday. It's healthcare. Abortion is a moral choice for people who despite the shouting voices around them understand that they have the ability to control their fertility the way people with uteruses have for thousands of years and as they will continue to do for thousands of years to come, no matter the barriers thrown in their path. These people understand that being human means controlling the trajectory of their lives. When faced with a dangerous or unwanted pregnancy, they gather the strength to put away the self-serving opinions of others and listen to their hearts.

Undue Burden argues for these people and for abortion as a moral good using the framework of Reproductive Justice. It lays out why it's no longer enough for us to say we're pro-choice, but instead we must proudly proclaim to be pro-abortion. It illustrates how when we force people to continue pregnancies and bring children into the world without providing any of the support systems to help sustain them, we are creating conditions of misery. Through the lens of Reproductive Justice, Undue Burden explains why anti-abortion extremists actually want this misery to exist.

It's time to reclaim the moral high ground from the anti-abortion movement. Undue Burden utilizes the tools of Reproductive Justice to allow pro-abortion advocates to:

• Use Christian doctrine to refute extremist Christians
• Build intersectional coalitions between diverse groups
• Establish abortion care as necessary healthcare
• Center the voices of those most affected by anti-abortion laws: Black people, POC, Indigenous people, people with disabilities, LGBTQ+ people, and the economically disadvantaged.
• Critique why pro-choice is no longer the way forward.
• Examine how and why abortion was criminalized in the first place.
• Understand the various forces of oppression including racism, ableism, misogyny, white supremacy, heteronormality, and how they intersect with the anti-abortion movement.

Author Dr. DeShawn Taylor tells stories of her life, medical training, and practice to center the everyday situations of everyday people struggling with forces outside their control like unaffordable childcare, lack of access to health care, insufficient paid time off, and unsafe communities. She argues that only when we reframe abortion as a social justice issue can we take back the moral high ground from the extremist Christians and family values politicians who have controlled the conversation for far too long.

Dr. Taylor shows that ensuring that all people have the right to not have children, have children, and to parent children in safe and healthy communities is the only way to remove the undue burdens that plague our most vulnerable communities.

What is a boutique?
A boutique is a professional services firm past the start-up stage but prescale. Examples can be found in consulting, marketing and advertising, IT services, etc. It's basically anyone who sells their expertise.

There are 1,465,900 boutiques. This book is for them.
It is about what firms at scale do. It is about what boutiques need to do to scale. And this knowledge gap between those at scale, and those not at scale, makes all the difference.

There is about $2 trillion spent per year on professional services. Those at scale capture most of it. If you want a bigger piece of the pie, you must scale.
We are in the golden era of boutiques. The business models of your clients are being disrupted. This makes it virtually impossible for them to have all the required expertise in-house. They are looking for external expertise. They have big budgets to spend. Clients are buying from boutiques in record numbers.
The sun is shining. Time to make hay.

Johnston compiles her years of experience as an executive coach and business professor with the voices of eighteen leaders at large and small organizations across North America, South America, and Europe to empower you to project your authentic leadership style, to show compassion to your team, and to align yourself with your company.

It recognizes that program evaluation still requires judgment and recommends a process that is inclusive, data-informed, and fast enough to keep up with changes in knowledge, technology, society, and the economy.

Med Spa Mayhem is a compelling and must-read book that delves deep into the often unforeseen dangers lurking within the medical spa industry. Dr. Kate Dee brings her extensive expertise and experience to the forefront, offering a critical examination of the growing trend of med spa treatments and the potential risks they can pose.

The book serves as both an exposé and a guide for anyone wishing to have med spa treatments. Dr. Dee begins by painting a vivid picture of the allure of medical spas, establishments that have become synonymous with luxury, relaxation, and the promise of enhanced beauty. However, as she peels back the layers, a different picture emerges--one of unregulated practices, inadequately trained practitioners, and a startling lack of oversight that can result in dangerous outcomes.

The book presents case studies and personal anecdotes that illustrate the severe consequences for patients suffering from negligent practices in med spas. These stories not only highlight physical harm and emotional trauma experienced by clients but also underscore the lack of accountability within the industry and lack of enforcement of existing law. Dr. Dee shows how these spas often prioritize profit over patient safety, leading to dangerous shortcuts and unethical practices.

Most importantly, Dr. Dee equips readers with practical advice on how to identify reputable med spas, understand the qualifications of practitioners, and make informed decisions about cosmetic treatments. She stresses the importance of consumer education in ensuring their own safety and satisfaction.

Med Spa Mayhem is not just a critique of the med spa industry; it's a compelling page-turner that empowers readers to demand and receive safe, ethical, and high-quality care in their pursuit of beauty. This book is essential reading for anyone considering med spa treatments, policymakers, and healthcare professionals alike.
