Jurgen Klaric. Pobre, rico, millonario: Basado en la vida de Jürgen Klaric

La pobreza no es un problema físico sino mental. Este libro te dará las herramientas necesarias para lograr tus propósitos en el menor tiempo posible, cualesquiera que sean, porque la información que brinda es parte esencial de la ecuación de la riqueza y el éxito. Esta es la increíble historia basada en la vida de Jürgen Klaric, quien desde que tenía 10 años mostró un gran interés por ser emprendedor. Cuando advirtió que la mayoría de los millonarios eran emprendedores, tomó la resolución de que él seguiría el mismo camino. Pronto comprendió que era una travesía llena de obstáculos, aunque también de lecciones y aprendizajes. Durante su carrera como uno de los más reconocidos publicistas de Latinoamérica se dio cuenta de que aunque facturaba grandes cantidades de dinero no lo retenía. Descubrió que a pesar de su éxito continuaba siendo una mente pobre, por lo que transformarla se convirtió en su reto diario. Este reto lo llevó a comprender la razón de por qué él y miles de latinos coinciden con el mismo sentimiento y las mismas creencias. Aprendiendo la manera de pensar de varios millonarios, apoyándose en terapias y construyendo su propia autoterapia, Jürgen descubrió la fórmula perfecta para transformar esa mente pobre y convertirse no sólo en un verdadero millonario, sino también en una persona próspera.

The Lady with Balls: A Single Mom's Triumphant Battle in a Man's World

During the 1970s, Alice Combs, undeterred by a former employer's snobbish pronouncement, "You're not corporate material," transformed herself from divorced mother on food stamps to successful entrepreneur. Resolute, Alice overcame her initial ignorance of the recycling trade and recovered from the many novice mistakes she inevitably made while teaching herself to operate Vulcan Wire, which would slowly become a thriving business despite an embezzling partner, cutthroat competitors, and several employees who proved unreliable when they were most needed. Alice refused to be intimidated and wouldn't take no for an answer. Her exceptional achievement in a traditionally male arena is an inspiration for all women who aspire to the heights of success in their chosen fields.

The Globalist: Peter Sutherland - His Life and Legacy

THE GLOBALIST is the first in-depth biography of an international power-broker who was instrumental in shaping the global economy that we know today. PETER SUTHERLAND played a defining role in world history over the past 25 years and was arguably the most influential Irish person ever to have lived. He was Ireland's youngest ever attorney general; the youngest ever European Commissioner; UN special representative for migration; and special adviser to the Vatican. His landmark achievement was the signing of the Uruguay round of multilateral trade negotiations in Marrakesh on April 15th, 1994. Under Sutherland's stewardship, a historic global agreement on the removal of trade barriers and market liberalisation was achieved, earning him a reputation as the 'father of globalisation'. He became chairman of BP and Goldman Sachs International and sat on the board of some of the biggest companies in the world. Public service, however, remained his true calling. The position he most prized was President of the European Commission but a combination of domestic political tribalism and French resistance derailed his chances. Drawing on a wide range of interviews with major political and business figures, including Hank Paulson, Mickey Kantor, Pascal Lamy, Sir Tom McKillop, Mary Robinson, Bertie Ahern, Brian Cowen, Catherine Day, David O'Sullivan and Klaus Schwab, The Globalist examines key episodes in Sutherland's life and career - the Arms Trial, the introduction of the Eighth Amendment, the Anglo Irish Agreement, the development of the EU single market, the establishment of the WTO, and migration policy. Towards the end of his life Sutherland became a tireless advocate for the rights of asylum seekers and migrants, which made him a target for nativist and populist movements around the world.

Grain by Grain: A Quest to Revive Ancient Wheat, Rural Jobs, and Healthy Food

When Bob Quinn was a kid, a stranger at a county fair gave him a few kernels of an unusual grain. Little did he know, that grain would change his life. Years later, after finishing a PhD in plant biochemistry and returning to his family's farm in Montana, Bob started experimenting with organic wheat. In the beginning, his concern wasn't health or the environment; he just wanted to make a decent living and some chance encounters led him to organics. But as demand for organics grew, so too did Bob's experiments. He discovered that through time-tested practices like cover cropping and crop rotation, he could produce successful yields-without pesticides. Regenerative organic farming allowed him to grow fruits and vegetables in cold, dry Montana, providing a source of local produce to families in his hometown. He even started producing his own renewable energy. And he learned that the grain he first tasted at the fair was actually a type of ancient wheat, one that was proven to lower inflammation rather than worsening it, as modern wheat does. Ultimately, Bob's forays with organics turned into a multimillion dollar heirloom grain company, Kamut International.

The Ride of a Lifetime: Lessons in Creative Leadership from the CEO of the Walt Disney Company

Brought to you by Penguin. The CEO of The Walt Disney Company shares the ideas and values he has used to reinvent one of the most beloved companies in the world, and inspire the people who bring the magic to life. In 2005, Robert Iger became CEO of The Walt Disney Company during a difficult time. Morale had deteriorated, competition was more intense, and technology was changing faster than at any time in the company's history. 'I knew there was nothing to be gained from arguing over the past,' Iger writes. 'The only thing that mattered was the future, and I believed I had a clear idea of the direction Disney needed to go.' It came down to three clear ideas: 1) Create the highest quality content Disney could produce. 2) Embrace and adopt technology instead of fighting it. And 3) Think bigger--think global--and turn Disney into a stronger brand in international markets. Twelve years later, Disney is the largest, most respected media company in the world counting Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm, and 21st Century Fox among its properties. Its value is nearly five times what it was when Iger took over, and Iger is recognized as one of the most innovative and successful CEOs of our time. Now, he's sharing the lessons he's learned while running Disney and leading its 200,000 employees--taking big risks in the face of historic disruption; learning to inspire the people who work for you; leading with fairness and communicating principles clearly. This book is about the relentless curiosity that has driven Iger for forty-five years, since the day he started as a studio supervisor at ABC. It's also about thoughtfulness and respect, and a decency-over-dollars approach that has become the bedrock of every project and partnership Iger pursues, from a deep friendship with Steve Jobs in his final years to an abiding love of the evolving Star Wars myth. 'Over the past fourteen years, I think I've learned so much about what real leadership is,' Iger writes. 'But I couldn't have articulated all of this until I lived it. You can't fake it--and that's one of the key lessons in this book.'

Erfolgreich mit Elon Musk. Die Prinzipien des Großmeisters

Erfahren Sie Prinzipien des Erfolgs von dem 'Real Iron Man' des 21. Jahrhunderts. Elon Musk ist nicht nur ein Unternehmer, der weltweit große Popularität genießt, sondern ein Ausnahmemensch, der Dinge erreicht und plant, die andere als unmöglich gelten. Eine Idee nach der anderen ist visionärer: PayPal, Tesla Motors und SpaceX. Bereits existierende Ideen und Geschäftskonzepte greift er und definiert sie neu. Dabei arbeitet er unermüdlich und erweckt als einer der wenigen Milliardäre und Multi-Millionäre glaubwürdig den Eindruck, dass es ihm wirklich nicht nur ums Geld geht, sondern darum, der Menschheit zu helfen. Es stellt sich somit wie bei den meisten Siegermenschen die Frage: Wie ist das machbar? Was ist sein Geheimnis? Kann auch ich einen Teil seines Erfolgs haben? Nun, einen Teil seines Erfolgs abbekommen ist schwer, aber von Elon Musk lernen, ist in jedem Fall möglich. Mit Erscheinen seiner Biografie 'Wie Elon Musk die Welt verändert' von Ashlee Vance in den vergangenen Jahren erfuhr die Öffentlichkeit mehr über den Menschen Musk und vor allem die bis dahin wohlgehütete Kindheit und Jugendzeit. Aber seine Erfolgsprinzipien erhalten Sie in diesem Hörbuch Kapitel für Kapitel erklärt. Im Hörbuch erfahren Sie: - wie Elon Musk die Dinge tat, und was für Möglichkeiten existieren, um es ihm gleichzutun; - viel Nützliches über das Durchhaltevermögen, das für große Ziele erforderlich ist; - wie wichtig Mut ist: Mut, Risiken einzugehen, anders zu denken und eigene Träume zu leben; - warum Geld tatsächlich nicht das Wichtigste im Leben ist und wieso auffällig oft diejenigen reich sind, die es gar nicht in erster Linie werden wollten.

This Is Not a T-Shirt: A Brand, a Culture, a Community--a Life in Streetwear

This program is read by the author. The story of The Hundreds and the precepts that made it an iconic streetwear brand by Bobby Hundreds himself. Streetwear occupies that rarefied space where genuine 'cool' coexists with big business; where a star designer might work concurrently with Nike, a tattoo artist, Louis Vuitton, and a skateboard company. It's the ubiquitous style of dress comprising hoodies, sneakers, and T-shirts. In the beginning, a few brands defined this style; fewer still survived as streetwear went mainstream. They are the OGs, the "heritage brands." The Hundreds is one of those persevering companies, and Bobby Hundreds is at the center of it all. The creative force behind the brand, Bobby Kim, a.k.a. Bobby Hundreds, has emerged as a prominent face and voice in streetwear. In telling the story of his formative years, he reminds us that The Hundreds was started by outsiders; and this is truly the story of streetwear culture. In This Is Not a T-Shirt, Bobby Hundreds cements his spot as a champion of an industry he helped create and tells the story of The Hundreds-with anecdotes ranging from his Southern California, punk-DIY-tinged youth to the brand's explosive success. Both an inspiring memoir and an expert assessment of the history and future of streetwear, this is the tale of Bobby's commitment to his creative vision and to building a real community.
