Bogaty albo biedny. Po prostu różni mentalnie

„Bogaty albo biedny“ ujawnia brakujące ogniwo między pragnieniem sukcesu a jego osiągnięciem!Czy zastanawiałeś się kiedyś, dlaczego niektórzy łatwo dochodzą do majątku, a inni mają ciągłe problemy, żeby związać koniec z końcem? Czy ta różnica wynika z ich wykształcenia, inteligencji, umiejętności, wyczucia czasu, nawyków zawodowych, kontaktów, odrobiny szczęścia, czy też może z zawodu, biznesu albo inwestycji, które wybrali?Szokująca odpowiedź brzmi: z żadnej z tych rzeczy!W przełomowej książce „Bogaty albo biedny ” T. Harv Eker twierdzi: „Daj mi pięć minut, a powiem ci, jaką będziesz miał finansową przyszłość!”. Eker potrafi to zrobić, rozpoznając indywidualny „schemat pieniędzy i sukcesu”. Każdy z nas ma własny schemat pieniędzy zakorzeniony w podświadomości i to właśnie ten schemat, bardziej niż cokolwiek innego, decyduje o naszym sukcesie finansowym. Możesz wiedzieć wszystko o marketingu, sprzedaży, negocjacjach, akcjach, nieruchomościach i świecie finansów, lecz jeśli twój schemat pieniędzy nie jest nastawiony na wielki sukces, nigdy nie dojdziesz do wielkich pieniędzy – a jeśli jakimś trafem zdobędziesz pieniądze, najprawdopodobniej je stracisz! „Bogaty albo biedny” to właściwie dwie książki w jednej. Pierwsza część wyjaśnia, jak działa schemat pieniędzy. Z wykładu Ekera, którego cechuje rzadko spotykane połączenie błyskotliwej inteligencji z niezwykłym poczuciem humoru, dowiesz się, jaką zajmujesz pozycję w świecie finansów. Nauczysz się też, jak rozpoznać i skorygować swój schemat pieniędzy, żeby nie tylko zrobić majątek, ale żeby go utrzymać i stale powiększać.W drugiej części poznasz siedemnaście „zestawów myśli”, które mówią o tym, w jaki sposób działają ludzie bogaci w odróżnieniu od większości ludzi biednych i średnio zamożnych. Każdy zestaw obejmuje opis praktycznych działań, które powinieneś podjąć, żeby zdecydowanie zwiększyć swoje dochody.Jeśli nie wiedzie ci się finansowo tak, jakbyś sobie życzył, to znaczy, że musisz zmienić swój schemat pieniędzy. Niestety, twój obecny schemat zostanie z tobą do końca życia, jeśli go nie zidentyfikujesz i nie skorygujesz – właśnie w tym pomoże ci ta niezwykła książka. Zdaniem Ekera, sprawa jest prosta: jeśli będziesz myślał tak, jak myślą ludzie bogaci, i robił to, co oni robią, jest duża szansa, że staniesz się jednym z nich!

The Sales Acceleration Formula

Business & Personal Finance

Use data, technology, and inbound selling to build a remarkable team and accelerate sales The Sales Acceleration Formula provides a scalable, predictable approach to growing revenue and building a winning sales team. Everyone wants to build the next $100 million business and author Mark Roberge has actually done it using a unique methodology that he shares with his readers. As an MIT alum with an engineering background, Roberge challenged the conventional methods of scaling sales utilizing the metrics-driven, process-oriented lens through which he was trained to see the world. In this book, he reveals his formulas for success. Readers will learn how to apply data, technology, and inbound selling to every aspect of accelerating sales, including hiring, training, managing, and generating demand.As SVP of Worldwide Sales and Services for software company HubSpot, Mark led hundreds of his employees to the acquisition and retention of the company's first 10,000 customers across more than 60 countries. This book outlines his approach and provides an action plan for others to replicate his success, including the following key elements: Hire the same successful salesperson every time — The Sales Hiring Formula Train every salesperson in the same manner — The Sales Training Formula Hold salespeople accountable to the same sales process — The Sales Management Formula Provide salespeople with the same quality and quantity of leads every month — The Demand Generation Formula Leverage technology to enable better buying for customers and faster selling for salespeople Business owners, sales executives, and investors are all looking to turn their brilliant ideas into the next $100 million revenue business. Often, the biggest challenge they face is the task of scaling sales. They crave a blueprint for success, but fail to find it because sales has traditionally been referred to as an art form, rather than a science. You can't major in sales in college. Many people question whether sales can even be taught. Executives and entrepreneurs are often left feeling helpless and hopeless.The Sales Acceleration Formula completely alters this paradigm. In today's digital world, in which every action is logged and masses of data sit at our fingertips, building a sales team no longer needs to be an art form. There is a process. Sales can be predictable.A formula does exist.

The Practice of Groundedness

Business & Personal Finance

Join thousands of readers and learn about a powerful antidote to today’s epidemic of burnout---and a path to achieving success with deeper satisfaction--from the bestselling author of Peak Performance "A thoughtful, actionable book for pursuing more excellence with less angst." --Adam Grant, author of Think AgainPlaying into the always-on, never enough hustle culture ultimately takes a serious toll. While the high of occasional wins can keep you going for a while, angst, restlessness, frayed relationships, exhaustion, and even substance abuse can be the unwanted side effects of an obsession with outward performance. In The Practice of Groundedness, bestselling author Brad Stulberg offers a path for which peak performance and well-being and fulfillment can emerge and prevail for a lifetime. At the heart of this model is groundedness--a practice that values presence over rote productivity, accepts that progress is nonlinear, and prioritizes long-term values and fulfillment over short-term gain. To be grounded is to possess a firm and unwavering foundation, an internal strength and self-confidence that sustains you through ups and downs and from which deep and enduring success can be found. Groundedness does not eliminate ambition and striving; rather, it situates these qualities and channels them in more meaningful ways. Interweaving case studies, modern science, and time-honored lessons from ancient wisdom traditions such as Buddhism, Stoicism, and Taoism, Stulberg teaches readers how to cultivate the habits and practices of a more grounded life. Readers will learn:Why patience is the key to getting where you want to go faster--in work and life--and how to develop it, pushing back against the culture’s misguided obsession with speed and “hacks.”How to utilize the lens of the wise observer in order to overcome delusion and resistance to clearly see and accept where you are—which is the key to more effectively getting where you want to goWhy embracing vulnerability is the key to genuine strength and confidenceThe critical importance of “deep community,” or cultivating a sense of belonging and connection to people, places, and causes.Provocative and practical, The Practice of Groundedness is the necessary corrective to the frenetic pace and endemic burnout resulting from contemporary definitions of success. It offers a new—and better—way.

IMF Policy Discussion Paper: Putting the Cart Before the Horse? Capital Account Liberalization and Exchange Rate Flexibility in China

Business & Personal Finance

This paper reviews the issues involved in moving towards greater exchange rate flexibility and capital account liberalization in China. A more flexible exchange rate regime would allow China to operate a more independent monetary policy, providing a useful buffer against domestic and external shocks. At the same time, weaknesses in China's financial system suggest that capital account liberalization poses significant risks and should be a lower priority in the short term. This paper concludes that greater exchange rate flexibility is in China's own interest and that, along with a more stable and robust financial system, it should be regarded as a prerequisite for undertaking a substantial liberalization of the capital account.

Prodávat je lidské

Business & Personal Finance

Bestseller No. 1 podle: New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post „Neotřelý pohled na umění prodávat, spojující výsledky společenských věd, vlastního výzkumu a sebraných příběhů. ... Ohromně zábavné a užitečné.“ – Forbes „Silniční mapa, která nás ostatní dovede k našim vlastním prezentacím.“ – Chicago Tribune Přesvědčujete kolegy, aby přijali váš nápad? – Prodáváte. Rádi byste získali pro své podnikání investora? – Prodáváte. Přemlouváte děti, aby se učily? – Zase prodáváte. Ať jsme zaměstnanci, podnikatelé, rodiče, učitelé… trávíme naše dny snahou působit na ostatní. Přesvědčujeme, ubezpečujeme a ovlivňujeme druhé, aby se vzdali něčeho, co mají, výměnou za to, co máme my. Ať se nám to líbí nebo ne, všichni prodáváme. Tohle není jen další kniha o prodeji a pro prodejce. Autor knihy, Daniel H. Pink, předkládá nový pohled na složité umění prodeje, přičemž své poznatky opírá o četné sociologické studie a výzkumy. Svět se změnil, co dříve platilo a fungovalo, dnes neplatí nebo je přinejmenším neefektivní. Na téměř posvátném pravidle prodejců „pokaždé uzavři obchod“ a po léta uplatňovaných metodách nezůstal kámen na kameni. Vztah prodejce a zákazníka je jiný, rovnocenný. Prodejce dávno nedrží trumfy v rukou jako dřív. Jeho role při uzavírání obchodu se změnila. A Pink formuluje novou trojici zásadních vlastností, které by si měl osvojit každý, kdo to s prodejem myslí vážně. A jako správný obchodník vám autor nabízí několik užitečných „vzorků zdarma“ – soubory zcela konkrétních nástrojů, tipů, rad a cvičení, které byly pečlivě vytvořeny tak, abyste novému světu prodávání opravdu porozuměli a dosáhli úspěchu. V knize se taky dozvíte Jak neprodávat věci, ale zážitky. Jak umět plavat v oceánu odmítnutí. Co je to jednoslovný kapitál. Proč pomáhá tázací samomluva. Co je podstatou pixarské prezentace. Jaké jsou nové formy prezentace obchodních nabídek. Proč jsou důležitá tři základní pravidla improvizačního divadla. O autorovi Daniel H. Pink je americký autor pěti knih věnujících se obchodní, pracovní a manažerské tématice. Jeho knihy byly přeloženy do 33 jazyků. Píše články pro The New York Times, Harvard Business Review, Fast Company a Wired. Přednáší ve firmách a na univerzitách celého světa. V roce 2011 byl v žebříčku Thinkers50 zařazen mezi 50 nejvlivnějších myslitelů světa v oblasti managementu. Žije se svou ženou a třemi dětmi ve Washingtonu, DC.

L'avenir a changé

Business & Personal Finance

Le modèle de développement économique et social qui a prévalu pendant trente ans ne fonctionne plus. La crise est passée par là. Désormais, les économies sont à la recherche d’une nouvelle régulation, tant au plan national qu’international. Dans ce contexte, la coupure tenace entre « l’économique » et le « social », qui aboutit en fait à l’exclusion des salariés du domaine économique, devient une aberration pure et simple. Un mode nouveau de développement passe, entre autres, par la reconnaissance du syndicat comme acteur économique à part entière. La CFDT revendique ce rôle, tant il est vrai qu’il existe un point de vue syndical sur l’efficacité économique, la gestion ou les choix stratégiques. Elle apporte ici la confirmation de son engagement économique. Ce livre constitue la première tentative d’une lecture renouvelée de l’économie à partir du point de vue syndical. Rendre l’économie, cette « science lugubre », attrayante ? Difficile, sans doute. Mais la rendre compréhensible, alors là, pas de problème : la revue Alternatives Economiques en fournit la preuve tous les deux mois. Les ouvrages de cette collection poursuivent le même objectif : analyser la réalité économique et sociale contemporaine, proposer des pistes de réflexions originales, comprendre sans perdre son esprit critique.

From A to B

Business & Personal Finance

Logistics includes the planning and practice of moving “stuff”—raw materials, tools, finished products, and even people—from one place to another. It carried American settlers over the sparsely populated Great Plains to connect the East Coast to the West Coast and has underpinned our domestic prosperity ever since. Logistics also solidified the global power and influence of the United States by guaranteeing our ability to rapidly reinforce Europe in the world wars, by helping us win the Cold War, and by enabling the current U.S. military to fight two wars at once. Further, logistics undergirds the world economy as swelling populations vie for shrinking resources, including energy, water, arable land, food, and cheap labor. Natural disasters urgently increase such demand.From A to B is the story of modern American logistics, which will continue to shape the nation’s role in this century. The book begins with a U.S. Army transportation company in Iraq during the height of insurgent attacks on American supply networks. Then it tours the shipyards, railways, highways, airports, classrooms, corporate boardrooms, and laboratories that make up our complex and colorful transportation culture. With competition stiffening and our national transportation infrastructure crumbling, we must find ways to move resources and products even more efficiently if we are to thrive. From A to B presents this challenge.
