Product Leadership: Creating And Launching Superior New Products

Product innovation is a high-risk war, the battles being fought both behind a company's doors and against the competition. But with all the effort companies exert to become product leaders, over a third of their new products still fail at launch, and many more never gain a profitable return. So what is it that product leaders like 3M, Merck, and Procter & Gamble know that allows them to continually lead the way with exceptional new products? In Product Leadership, Robert Cooper reveals the winners' secrets, and offers managers an invaluable resource to help implement and oversee systematic high-quality new product processes; develop new product strategies; manage product portfolios; determine which products to kill and which to back with resources; and foster ingenuity to outperform the competition. Showcasing examples from the winners, Cooper demonstrates that it takes a commitment from all managers, including marketing, finance, R & D, and HR to triumph over the competition and become a leader in the new products war.

After all, a stable job that delivers a regular paycheck is a blessing. And not everyone has the means or the desire to take on the risks and responsibilities of working for themselves. But what if we could quickly and easily create an additional stream of income without giving up the security of a full-time job? Enter the side hustle. Chris Gullibeau is no stranger to this world, having launched more than a dozen side hustles over his career. Here he offers a step-by-step guide that takes you from idea to income in just 27 days. Designed for the busy and impatient, this detailed road map will show you how to select, launch, refine, and make money from your side hustle in under a month. You'll learn how to: Brainstorm, borrow, and steal to build an arsenal of great side hustle ideas (day 3) Apply "Tinder for Side Hustle" logic to pick the best idea at any time (day 6) Learn, gather, or create everything you need to launch; then set up a real-life way to get paid (days 13-14) Start raking in the money by channeling your inner Girl Scout (day 18) Master the art of deals, discounts, and special offers (day 21) Raise your game: improve, expand, or make more money off your hustle (days 24-26) A side hustle is more than just another stream of income; it's also the new job security. When you receive paychecks from different sources, it allows you to take more chances in your "regular" career. More income means more options. More options equals freedom. You don't need entrepreneurial experience to launch a profitable side hustle. You don't have to have an MBA or know how to code or be an expert marketer. You don't need employees or investors. With Chris as a guide, anyone can make more money, pursue a passion, and enjoy greater security - without quitting their day job.

Digital Goddess: The Unfiltered Lessons Of A Female Entrepreneur

With women leading only twenty-four Fortune 500 companies, female founders receiving only 2.2 percent of US venture capital, and the continued presence of sexual harassment and double standards, the gender gap continues to hinder the advancement of women in the professional world. In Digital Goddess, Montgomery-Brown & mdash;founder of Big Think, a collection of experts across all fields and disciplines that are either at the top of their field or disrupting it, shares her story in an entertaining and educational light. Told from the unique, female entrepreneurial perspective that unpacks all the hurdles other female founders may face in their own journey to the top, Montgomery-Brown shares the real-world lessons she & rsquo;s learned along the way, such as: Never lie to your investors, even when you just got arrested. Raising money is a poker game & mdash;learn how to play. The power and money still lie with men. Pretending it & rsquo;s not that way, or being angry about it, won & rsquo;t lead to success. Your relationship with your co-founder is like a second marriage, so forget about keeping the personal out of the workplace. The more authentic you are, and the more fun you have, the better your experience will be. This book is about dealing with the way things are, even when you don & rsquo;t like it, and being yourself, even when it seems like a drawback. It & rsquo;s about sucking it up, making the hard choices, and dealing with the consequences. It & rsquo;s about being honest no matter what is going down. Victoria & rsquo;s been called & ldquo;the anti-Elizabeth Holmes, & rdquo; for a good reason & mdash;unlike the ill-fated Theranos CEO, she & rsquo;s transparent with her investors even when she fears they will walk away. Digital Goddess is a story for entrepreneurial women at any stage of life who want to know what it actually takes to build a business in a world that & rsquo;s not always fair, predictable, or politically correct

Company Of One By Paul Jarvis

What if the real key to a richer and more fulfilling career was not to create and scale a new start-up, but rather, to be able to work for yourself, determine your own hours, and become a (highly profitable) and sustainable company of one? Suppose the better - and smarter - solution is simply to remain small? This book explains how to do just that. Company of One is a refreshingly new approach centered on staying small and avoiding growth, for any size business. Not as a freelancer who only gets paid on a per piece basis, and not as an entrepreneurial start-up that wants to scale as soon as possible, but as a small business that is deliberately committed to staying that way. By staying small, one can have freedom to pursue more meaningful pleasures in life and avoid the headaches that result from dealing with employees, long meetings, or worrying about expansion. Company of One introduces this unique business strategy and explains how to make it work for you, including how to generate cash flow on an ongoing basis. Paul Jarvis left the corporate world when he realized that working in a high-pressure, high profile world was not his idea of success. Instead, he now works for himself out of his home on a small, lush island off of Vancouver, and lives a much more rewarding and productive life. He no longer has to contend with an environment that constantly demands more productivity, more output, and more growth. In Company of One, Jarvis explains how you can find the right pathway to do the same, including planning how to set up your shop, determining your desired revenues, dealing with unexpected crises, keeping your key clients happy, and of course, doing all of this on your own.

Anything You Want

You can follow the beaten path and call yourself an entrepreneur or you can blaze your own trail and really be one. When Derek Sivers started CD Baby, he wasn & rsquo;t planning on building a major business. He was a successful independent musician who just wanted to sell his CDs online.

Girl Code - Unlocking The Secrets To Success - Sanit-y Happiness For The Female Entrepreneur

Women around the world have responded to Cara Alwill Leyba & rsquo;s Girl Code with a resounding YES. Companies like Kate Spade and Macy & rsquo;s have brought her in to teach & ldquo;the Code. & rdquo; Inc. magazine named Girl Code one of the & ldquo;Top 9 Inspiring Books Every Female Entrepreneur Should Read & rdquo; alongside Lean In, #Girlboss, and Thrive. A few years ago, I made a crazy claim in the first edition of Girl Code: that in today & rsquo;s competitive marketplace, the fiercest thing a female entrepreneur can do is to support other women. Something dynamic happens when women genuinely show up for each other. When we lose the facades, cut the bullsh*t, and truly have each other & rsquo;s backs. When we stop pretending everything is perfect, and show the messy, beautiful parts of ourselves and our work & mdash;which all look awfully similar. When we talk about our fears, our missteps, and our breakdowns. And most importantly, when we share our celebrations, our breakthroughs, and our solutions. I & rsquo;m convinced that there & rsquo;s no reason to hoard information, connections, or insight. Wisdom is meant to be shared, so let & rsquo;s start sharing what we & rsquo;ve learned to make each other better. Let & rsquo;s start building each other up. Let & rsquo;s live up to our potential and start ruling the world. Girl Code is a roadmap for female entrepreneurs, professional women, & ldquo;side hustlers & rdquo; (those with a day job plus a part-time small business), and any & shy;one in between. This book won & rsquo;t teach you how to build a multimillion-dollar company. It won & rsquo;t teach you about systems or finance. But it will teach you how to build confidence in yourself, reconnect with your & ldquo;why, & rdquo; eradicate jealousy, and ultimately learn the power of connection. Because at the end of the day, that & rsquo;s what life and business are all about.

The $100 Startup - Reinvent The Way You Make A Living - Do What You Love And Create A New F

Lead a life of adventure, meaning and purpose & mdash;and earn a good living. & ldquo;Thoughtful, funny, and compulsively readable, this guide shows how ordinary people can build solid livings, with independence and purpose, on their own terms. & rdquo; & mdash;Gretchen Rubin, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller The Happiness Project Still in his early thirties, Chris Guillebeau completed a tour of every country on earth and yet he & rsquo;s never held a & ldquo;real job & rdquo; or earned a regular paycheck. Rather, he has a special genius for turning ideas into income, and he uses what he earns both to support his life of adventure and to give back. Chris identified 1,500 individuals who have built businesses earning $50,000 or more from a modest investment (in many cases, $100 or less), and focused on the 50 most intriguing case studies. In nearly all cases, people with no special skills discovered aspects of their personal passions that could be monetized, and were able to restructure their lives in ways that gave them greater freedom and fulfillment. Here, finally, distilled into one easy-to-use guide, are the most valuable lessons from those who & rsquo;ve learned how to turn what they do into a gateway to self-fulfillment. It & rsquo;s all about finding the intersection between your & ldquo;expertise & rdquo; & mdash;even if you don & rsquo;t consider it such & mdash;and what other people will pay for. You don & rsquo;t need an MBA, a business plan or even employees. All you need is a product or service that springs from what you love to do anyway, people willing to pay, and a way to get paid. Not content to talk in generalities, Chris tells you exactly how many dollars his group of unexpected entrepreneurs required to get their projects up and running; what these individuals did in the first weeks and months to generate significant cash; some of the key mistakes they made along the way, and the crucial insights that made the business stick. Among Chris & rsquo;s key principles: If you & rsquo;re good at one thing, you & rsquo;re probably good at something else; never teach a man to fish & mdash;sell him the fish instead; and in the battle between planning and action, action wins. In ancient times, people who were dissatisfied with their lives dreamed of finding magic lamps, buried treasure, or streets paved with gold. Today, we know that it & rsquo;s up to us to change our lives. And the best part is, if we change our own life, we can help others change theirs. This remarkable book will start you on your way.

Company Of One: Why Staying Small Is The Next Big Thing For Business

What if the real key to a richer and more fulfilling career was not to create and scale a new start-up, but rather, to be able to work for yourself, determine your own hours, and become a (highly profitable) and sustainable company of one? Suppose the better & mdash;and smarter & mdash;solution is simply to remain small? This book explains how to do just that.Company of One is a refreshingly new approach centered on staying small and avoiding growth, for any size business. Not as a freelancer who only gets paid on a per piece basis, and not as an entrepreneurial start-up that wants to scale as soon as possible, but as a small business that is deliberately committed to staying that way. By staying small, one can have freedom to pursue more meaningful pleasures in life, and avoid the headaches that result from dealing with employees, long meetings, or worrying about expansion. Company of One introduces this unique business strategy and explains how to make it work for you, including how to generate cash flow on an ongoing basis.Paul Jarvis left the corporate world when he realized that working in a high-pressure, high profile world was not his idea of success. Instead, he now works for himself out of his home on a small, lush island off of Vancouver, and lives a much more rewarding and productive life. He no longer has to contend with an environment that constantly demands more productivity, more output, and more growth. In Company of One, Jarvis explains how you can find the right pathway to do the same, including planning how to set up your shop, determining your desired revenues, dealing with unexpected crises, keeping your key clients happy, and of course, doing all of this on your own.
