| harvard business review entrepreneur's handbook: Time Rich Steve Glaveski, 2020-11-02 Recover wasted time and start living your fullest life Most of us wouldn't dare give away our money, but when it comes to time, we let it go without a second thought. Business and creative professionals often dedicate long hours to their work, with little to show for it. We take on more than we should, we treat everything as urgent, and we attend pointless meetings. This book can help you see where you might be sabotaging your own goals. Time Rich helps you identify where you’re losing personal time and mismanaging career time. Through practical productivity tools and techniques, author and entrepreneur Steve Glaveski will show you how to be more productive at work, have more time to pursue your personal and life goals, and build a culture that supports achieving objectives without risking burnout. Learn how to: • Identity how you are wasting time • Manage your attention, get into the zone and stay there longer • Prioritise, automate and outsource tasks • Optimise your mind and body Time Rich is a blueprint for recovering your work hours, achieving more and spending time where it matters most. ‘Steve Glaveski understands something that few leaders have figured out: it’s possi¬ble to do less and get more done. This book offers a blueprint for working smarter.’ Adam Grant, New York Times best-selling author of Originals and Give and Take, and host of the chart-topping TED podcast WorkLife ‘Time isn’t money; it’s something of far more value. Glaveski makes the case that we ought to be protecting our time much more than we product other resources. And best of all, he shows you how.’ David Burkus, author of Under New Management ‘Steve Glaveski offers countless ways to get more out of each day by being Time Rich.’ Nir Eyal, best-selling author of Hooked and Indistractable ‘Time Rich by Steve Glaveski makes a compelling argument for abandoning the archaic historical artefact of an 8 hour work-day (or any other arbitrary sum of time) as outmoded and irrelevant to the way we live and do our best work today. Glaveski offers both big ideas and specific techniques to contain or eliminate such time-snatching demons as meetings, email and social media. Reclaim the value of your time by forsaking the management of it and learning instead to manage energy, efficiency and attention — inputs with far greater impact on output and outcomes, not to mention quality of life.’ Whitney Johnson, award-winning author of Disrupt Yourself and Build an A-Team ‘Time Rich is a fascinating look into why we’re all so ‘busy’ — and how to gain back our most precious resource. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned productivity geek, this book will change your life.’ Jonathan Levi, author, podcaster, and founder of SuperHuman Academy ‘A very worthwhile read for ambitious professionals to achieve that elusive work-life holy grail: being present and engaged at home without sacrificing anything on the work front — and even, perhaps, becoming more productive than you ever thought you could be.’ Andy Molinsky, award-winning author of Global Dexterity and Reach |
| harvard business review entrepreneur's handbook: Nail it Then Scale it Nathan R. Furr, Paul B. Ahlstrom, 2011 Why do most new businesses fail, yet a few entrepreneurs have a habit of winning over and over again? The shocking discovery of years of research and trial is that most startups fail by doing the right things, but doing them out of order. In other words, human nature combined with our entrepreneurial drive puts us on autopilot to become part of the 70% to 90% of ventures that fail. From Thomas Edison to Steve Jobs, the Nail It Then Scale It method is based on pattern recognition of the timeless principles and key practices used by successful entrepreneurs to repeatedly innovate. |

| harvard business review entrepreneur's handbook: Worthless, Impossible and Stupid Daniel, 2013-06-18 Introducing the global mind-set changing the way we do business. In this fascinating book, global entrepreneurship expert Daniel Isenberg presents a completely novel way to approach business building—with the insights and lessons learned from a worldwide cast of entrepreneurial characters. Not bound by a western, Silicon Valley stereotype, this group of courageous and energetic doers has created a global and diverse mix of companies destined to become tomorrow’s leading organizations. Worthless, Impossible, and Stupid is about how enterprising individuals from around the world see hidden value in situations where others do not, use that perception to develop products and services that people initially don’t think they want, and ultimately go on to realize extraordinary value for themselves, their customers, and society as a whole. What these business builders have in common is a contrarian mind-set that allows them to create opportunities and succeed where others see nothing. Amazingly, this process repeats itself in one form or another countless times a day all over the world. From Albuquerque to Islamabad, you will travel with Isenberg to discover unusual yet practical insights that you can use in your own business. Meet the founders of Grameenphone in Bangladesh, PACIV in Puerto Rico, Sea to Table in New York, Actavis in Iceland, Studio Moderna in Slovenia, Hartwell Metals in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, Given Imaging in Israel, WildChina in China, and many others. You’ll be moved by the stories of these plucky start-ups—many of them fueled by adversity and, more often than not, by necessity. Great stories, stunning successes, crushing failures—they’re all here. What can we, in the East and West, learn from them? What can you learn—and what will these entrepreneurial stories, so compellingly told, inspire you to do? Let this book open doors for you where you once saw only walls. If you’ve ever felt the urge to turn a glimmer of an idea into something extraordinary, these stories are for you. |

| harvard business review entrepreneur's handbook: The Lean Startup Eric Ries, 2011-09-13 Most startups fail. But many of those failures are preventable. The Lean Startup is a new approach being adopted across the globe, changing the way companies are built and new products are launched. Eric Ries defines a startup as an organization dedicated to creating something new under conditions of extreme uncertainty. This is just as true for one person in a garage or a group of seasoned professionals in a Fortune 500 boardroom. What they have in common is a mission to penetrate that fog of uncertainty to discover a successful path to a sustainable business. The Lean Startup approach fosters companies that are both more capital efficient and that leverage human creativity more effectively. Inspired by lessons from lean manufacturing, it relies on “validated learning,” rapid scientific experimentation, as well as a number of counter-intuitive practices that shorten product development cycles, measure actual progress without resorting to vanity metrics, and learn what customers really want. It enables a company to shift directions with agility, altering plans inch by inch, minute by minute. Rather than wasting time creating elaborate business plans, The Lean Startup offers entrepreneurs—in companies of all sizes—a way to test their vision continuously, to adapt and adjust before it’s too late. Ries provides a scientific approach to creating and managing successful startups in a age when companies need to innovate more than ever. |
| harvard business review entrepreneur's handbook: Handbook of Entrepreneurship Research Zoltan J. Acs, David B. Audretsch, 2010-08-03 Interest in and attention to entrepreneurship has exploded in recent years. Nevertheless, much of the research and scholarship in entrepreneurship has remained elusive to academics, policymakers and other researchers, in large part because the field is informed by a broad spectrum of disciplines, including management, finance, economics, policy, sociology, and psychology, often pursued in isolation from each other. Since its original publication in 2003, the Handbook of Entrepreneurship Research has served as the definitive resource in the field, bringing together contributions from leading scholars in these disciplines to present a holistic, multi-dimensional approach. This new edition, fully revised and updated, and including several new chapters, covers all of the primary topics in entrepreneurship, including entrepreneurial behavior, risk and opportunity recognition, equity financing, business culture and strategy, innovation, and the impact of entrepreneurship on economic growth and development. Featuring an integrative introduction, extensive literature reviews and reference lists, the Handbook will continue to serve as a roadmap to the rapidly evolving and dynamic field of entrepreneurship. |
| harvard business review entrepreneur's handbook: Liem Sioe Liong's Salim Group Richard Borsuk, 2014-11-07 After Suharto gained power in Indonesia in the mid-1960s, he stayed as the country's president for more than three decades, helped by the powerful military, hefty foreign aid and support from a coterie of cronies. A pivotal business backer for his New Order government was Liem Sioe Liong, a migrant from China, who arrived in Java in 1938. A combination of the Suharto connection, serendipity and personal charm propelled him to become the wealthiest tycoon in Southeast Asia. This is the story of how Liem built the Salim Group, a conglomerate that in its heyday controlled Indonesia's largest non-state bank, the country's dominant cement producer and flour mill, as well as the world's biggest maker of instant noodles. The book features exclusive input from Liem, who died in 2012, and his youngest son, Anthony Salim. It traces the founder's life and the group's symbiosis with Suharto, his generals and family. After the tumultuous 1997-98 Asian financial crisis sparked Suharto's fall and a backlash against the strongman's cronies, Anthony staved off the crushing of the debt-laden group. Told in a journalistic style, the story of the Salim Group provides insights into Suharto's New Order. For business executives, students and anyone with an interest in Southeast Asia's largest economy, the volume makes a valuable contribution towards understanding the country's modern history. |
| harvard business review entrepreneur's handbook: Entrepreneurial DNA: The Breakthrough Discovery that Aligns Your Business to Your Unique Strengths Joe Abraham, 2011-04-15 What’s your entrepreneurial style? “This powerful, practical book gives you proven techniques to help you maximize your personal and business potential and make more money than ever before.” —BRIAN TRACY, author of The Psychology of Selling “Stop trying to fit the mold of some successful entrepreneur you’ve seen and start tapping your own DNA—this book will show you how.” —JOHN JANTSCH, author of Duct Tape Marketing and The Referral Engine “This book is the ultimate roadmap to building a thriving business and life as an entrepreneur. Joe Abraham’s ideas and insights are fresh, innovative, timeless, and guaranteed to produce real results and position you for long-term success.” —IVAN MISNER, New York Times bestselling author of The 29% Solution and founder of BNI and Referral Institute “Joe is the next-generation version of Michael Gerber.” —ERIC PLANTENBERG, founder and CEO, Freedom Personal Development “Are you interested in knowing your strengths and weaknesses as an entrepreneur and the strategies that work best for your particular DNA? If so, read this insightful and helpful book.” —RAFAEL PASTOR, Chairman of the Board and CEO, Vistage International “Discover how to succeed and stand apart from other entrepreneurs.” —ENTREPRENEUR MAGAZINE About the Book: Entrepreneurial DNA proves the simple but critical fact that not all entrepreneurs are cut from the same cloth. After all, nobody would put Donald Trump, a multilevel marketer, and the owner of a local pizza parlor in the same category. Everyone possesses unique entrepreneurial “DNA”—and discovering yours is the critical first step to success. To help you build a successful business or optimize results within your current business, serial entrepreneur and business strategist Joe Abraham has developed the BOSI system—a simple, structured process for determining your own entrepreneurial tendencies, strengths, and growth areas. With the BOSI system, you can create a strategic plan mapped to your entrepreneurial DNA that will improve all aspects of your business and leadership journey. Abraham’s system provides four entrepreneurial categories that people fall into. Which type of entrepreneur are you? Builder: Strategic, always looking for the upper hand Talent: creating scalable business ventures Opportunist: Speculative, always in the right place at the right time Talent: making money fast Specialist: Focused, in it for the long term Talent: providing exceptional client service Innovator: Inventive, with a desire to make an impact Talent: creating game-changing products At least one of these four categories describes you—or perhaps a combination of two. Learning what type of entrepreneurial DNA you possess is critical to how you should structure and deploy your game plan in business. Whether you’re serious about becoming a successful entrepreneur or improving your existing business, start with Entrepreneurial DNA. You’ll discover your unique BOSI profi le and gain tremendous insight into how to engage the right people and develop plans and processes to match who you are. |
