Book Description
The former CEO of Clif Bar, Co-founder of Plum, and serial entrepreneur offers insights about launching and growing a business while maintaining a fulfilled life in this practical guide filled with hard-won advice culled from the author’s own sometimes dark, raw experiences. With a foreword by Steve Blank. Aspiring entrepreneurs are told that to launch a business, you must go all in, devoting every resource and moment to making it work. But following this advice comes at an enormous personal cost: divorce, addiction, even suicide. It means sacrificing the intangibles that make life worth living. Sheryl O’Loughlin knows there is a better way. In Killing It, she shares the wisdom she’s gained from her successful experiences launching a company from the ground up (Plum), running two fast-growing companies (Clif Bar and REBBL), and mentoring aspiring entrepreneurs (Stanford University). She tells it like it is: If you don’t invest in your wellbeing, your business will not succeed, nor will you. Sheryl knows firsthand the difficulty of balancing the needs of her growing family with her physical and mental health, while managing other work and life challenges. In this warm, honest, and wise handbook, she gives you the essentials for killing it in business—without killing the rest of your life. Filled with real-life examples and anecdotes, Killing It addresses common questions including: How do you prepare your significant other for your business venture? How do you time launching and growing your business with the ebb and flow of family life? How do you find joy in the day-to-day? How do you maintain meaningful, supportive friendships? How do you walk away and start again? The ultimate life and business course, Killing It gives entrepreneurs the tools they need to start their enterprise and thrive—both in the office and at home.

Book Description
A Detailed, Wise and Inspiring Guide to Starting Your Own Business and Becoming a Successful Entrepreneur The surest way to retiring poor is working for money instead of getting money to work for you. Whether you have a 9-5 job or are self-employed, if you cannot put money to work for you in some way, your odds of working the rest of your life and perhaps retiring poor are very high. Moreover, if you work for money, you cannot really do everything you want to do whenever you want to do it since your income is directly connected to your efforts- if you stop working, it is only a matter of time before the income dries up. This is the sad situation that many of us find ourselves in but this does not mean this is what should happen. If you take strategic measures aimed at setting yourself up for success and attaining freedom as far as finances are concerned, you can be sure that you won't have to worry about money even when retiring nears. In fact, it is possible to retire early. But this is only possible if you set up systems geared towards running your income-generating activities in a way that is independent of your direct efforts. This is the realm of entrepreneurship. By this, I do not mean self-employment, as the two are very different. As an entrepreneur, you set up systems that work for your business and work "on" the business as opposed to working "in" the business, which means different business operations can take place without your everyday input. If you've ever worked for money, whether you are self-employed or informal employment, you know how it feels when you get to a point when you hit the proverbial 'glass ceiling' where you cannot increase your income any further no matter how hard you work. And even if you increase your production by getting people to work for you, most times, you may notice that you've just shifted the glass ceiling a little higher and that it is just a matter of time before you are at it again. If you've ever wanted to get to a level of freedom where you can take a vacation from your business and not have to worry about the daily operations of the business, then you need to stop working for money and consider getting money to work for you by becoming an entrepreneur. Lucky for you, this book will show you the exact steps to take to make sure you don't end up becoming self-employed when what you wanted to do was to become an entrepreneur. More precisely, the book will show you: Different approaches you can take to own a business How to buy an existing business- the steps to take and various issues todeal with How to evaluate different ideas to start a brand new business How to evaluate/test the ideas you come up with Sourcing funding The different components of business systems How to set up business systems How to set yourself up for success in the environment you operate in How to choose appropriate technology for your business Choosing a business location Product planning and pricing Steps to take to come up with a new product Packaging your product for maximum impact Everything about branding How to prepare a business plan Marketing Operations Management And much more!

Book Description
All around the world, thousands of people are ditching the office and taking their working life on the road... Freelancers are packing up their laptops and setting up shop in Thai cafes and Spanish coworking spaces, while entire companies are realising that they can slash their costs and have happier employees by allowing them to work from wherever they want. Being able to see the world outside of a two-week vacation is pretty great, but it's not just about the travel. It's about doing away with all the constraints of office life - the commute, the cubicle, the bad coffee - and finding freedom in a more flexible way of working and living. Travel While You Work is your guide to how you can make this transition too - whether you're a freelancer or the head of your own company. Over the course of over 300 pages, you'll learn: The art of getting down to work fast in a new environment How to stay productive despite the hassles and distractions of travel Essential information about currencies and payments - including cross-currency payments Tips, tools and important principles for communicating with clients abroad A system for reliably hiring the best contractors and employees without meeting them in person How to manage a team when you're all in different locations ... And everything else you need to make "out of office" your permanent reality. Travel While You Work also contains interviews with 13 very different business owners and freelancers - everyone from a management consultant to a circus school owner - sharing their tips for how they make their business work from anywhere in the world. PLUS interviews with three travelling families who successfully balance entrepreneurship and education along with a life of travel. This book won't teach you how to start a business, or what business you should start. But if you want to take an existing business mobile (whether as a solo freelancer or the head of your own company), Travel While You Work will give you all the inspiration, resources and practical guidance you need.
