The Secret to Leadership: How Not to Suck, by Thomas DiPaolo

An Explanation as to Why Leaders Fail and a Simplified and Different Approach to Becoming an Effective and Respected Leader

The Secret to Leadership: How to Not Suck, takes a different view and approach to leadership study. This book will help break down the very basic principles of effective leaders and strip away the over complicated and intimidating ideas that currently exist within leadership study. It will help you to identify flawed practices and concepts of leadership which should be eliminated and refocus on the basic principles of successful leaders. Sculpture's are not created by constantly adding material in hopes of creating a work of art but rather by removing material. Like carving a sculpture the strategy is to carve away material that is useless, and which hides truth, to reveal your vision which lies beneath. Through the process of carving away over complicated theories in leadership you can help identify, simplify and refine your leadership style which enhances your effectiveness and abilities. This book focuses on internal exploration and self reflection as opposed to searching externally for new ideas and gimmicks. Leadership is not an entitlement and is never awarded or attached to a certain position or social status. It is earned and lived through everyday actions and ideas. There is nothing complicated about being a great leader and it’s a mindset that is carried naturally and extends well beyond the workplace and into all facets of life.


About the Author

Thomas DiPaolo was born in Florida in 1976. His first published book was in 2011 How to Win Any Fight Without Training. He has since published several other personal development books including The Secret to Understanding Men, Things a Man Should Know, and The Secret to Leadership.

Perception is the first Novel by Thomas DiPaolo and the first book in the "Historians" series. Perception is a Sci-Fi thriller which delves into the theory of time travel and coexistence between future and present humanity while being perceived as extra terrestrials.

Never Work Again: Work Less, Earn More and Live Your Freedom, by Erlend Bakke

Welcome to a very different kind of business book.

"Never Work Again" shows you how you can build a successful and profitable business without the long hours and high stress that most entrepreneurs suffer from.

Trust me – I’ve been there and it’s not fun. In the months after I started my first business I didn’t know any better. My business was making me ill, but I was too wrapped up in what I was doing to spot the signs let alone to do anything about it. That is until the day I found myself on a London tube train begging a stranger to call me an ambulance and thinking I was going to die. That was my wake-up call. Luckily I got a second chance.

That day I realised that life is short and precious and I made a decision that if I pulled through I was going to do things differently. I decided to restructure my business efforts so that I could live life to the full.

What I decided to create for myself was:

• A business that I could be proud of
• The financial freedom to live the life of my dreams
• The time freedom to do the things I love and to be with the people who matter most to me

And now I want to help you do the same.

After all, deciding to start your own business is something you do because you have a vision of a better life for you and your family. It’s your chance to take control and live life on your terms. And done right it will give you the financial freedom and the time freedom to do the things you love, when you want to do them and with the people who matter most in your life.

Never Work Again will show you how to create a business that gives you the time to work on your own passions in life.

In short, a business that allows you to work less and earn more.

Starting Your Virtual Business:

Never Work Again shows you how you can easily start your own no-money down virtual business – a business that will make you money online and allow you to quickly achieve financial freedom and time freedom.

- All you need to do is choose from a number of simple blueprints and follow the one that’s right for you

- You will learn how to create positive habits that will free up your time and allow your business to grow more quickly than you ever thought possible

- You will be able to work from home or work virtually from anywhere on the planet – what’s your favourite city or beach?!

- And you will learn how to automate and outsource your business, leveraging other people's time for your own benefit so that you can start living the life you really want 

But more than this, Never Work Again explores what it means to live a truly happy and fulfilled life – to really live the life of your dreams. It encourages you to examine your own motivations and desires in order to determine your true purpose and path in life – so you can discover what freedom really means for you.

Remember, your time is precious – in fact, it’s the most precious resource that you have. Don’t waste another second of it doing things that you don’t absolutely love. Learn how to start creating the life of your dreams today.

Kindle Spotlight: Wisdom Unsung: Historic Proof that Women are the World's Best Leaders, by Sara Bartlett

The Feminine Mistake

Writer/historian Sara Bartlett, in this series of three books, tackles the fear or dangerous disinterest that women have of fighting for leadership positions in their lives. In the first book, she proves that history is full of women leaders going all the way back to cave women days on up to the 15th century.

She shows, through humor and historical accounts, how women and girls from all walks of life stepped up to become significant leaders in many, many ways despite really harrowing circumstances. No one in today’s corporate world is asking a woman on her way up to cut off one of her breasts like the ancient Amazons. No one is forced to suffer the bone fracturing rack like preacher Anne Askew had to do. Today’s woman does not have to fear being burned as a witch for her beliefs. If they can survive that, why is 50 percent of the population so afraid?

Some reasons for this fear are valid. Some are not, and Bartlett is a cheerleader for facing those fears and coming forward anyway. She breaks down how leadership is defined through seven pillars of what we should be looking for in a successful leader, and none of them involves holding a title of any kind.

She rings the alarm bells for the disappearance of women in decisions of world peace, as opposed to the stampeding military industrial complex, in education as opposed to No Child Left Behind, and in politics where personal decisions about their bodies are still determined by men.

The second book tells of the valiant women of the 19th century, particularly the Civil War, that created unlikely women heroes on the battlefield, in medicine, in politics, and so much more. The third book brings us to the 20th and 21st centuries with a plea to recognize the brilliant women leaders of all ages.

Kindle Spotlight: People Skills for Business

People Skills For Business: Winning Social Skills That Put You Ahead Of The Competition

By: Melissa Contreras

How are your people skills? Are you able to negotiate a contract with confidence? When a conflict breaks out in your business, do you know what to do?

Without people skills, as you may have noticed, it’s near impossible to run a successful company. With them, on the other hand, you can’t help but succeed.

“Again, concise and to the point…so easy to read! It’s obvious to me (now) after struggling in business for many, many years; that, the REAL reason why people are ‘held back’, even when they are great at what they do, is due to their lack of interpersonal skills! It really is a career killer.” – Donovan Smith

“Great article. I just get so frustrated with people sometimes because they can’t communicate properly, but neither can I. So arguments just become escalated. Anyway, I find this site SO helpful and I hope you continue to educate people on effective communication.” - Krista Brown

“My company preaches, “You can teach job skills, you can’t teach interpersonal skills!” We’ve had to let people go who were ok at the work but just could not get along with the other staff after a decent period of time, even though companies may not be willing to spend time teaching these skills to new recruits. You’ve hit the nail on the head with this article.” – Jeremy

These are some of the comments left by some of the hundreds of people that visit Melissa Contreras’ blogs everyday.

Now, in her first book “People Skills for Business”, Melissa Contreras, MBA, book publisher and online entrepreneur, teaches business leaders the importance of effective communication, persuasion, negotiation, and the ability to establish rapport and manage conflict. Anyone who wishes to better these skills would be wise to pick up a copy of this book.

In addition to learning about these topics in general, readers can delve into specific situations and better understand how to resolve typical business problems with better interpersonal skills and come away with specific techniques for improving their people skills in order to grow their business.

Kindle Spotlight: "The BossHole Effect"

The BossHole Effect: Three Simple Steps Anyone Can Follow to Become a Great Boss and Lead a Successful Team 

By: Dr.Greg L. Alston and Valerie K. Alston, M.A.

In the traditional management model, bosses usually treat employees as a disposable resource. This undermines the success of the organization and results in higher turnover rates, less productivity, poor morale, and The BossHole Effect. "The BossHole Effect" is the powerful capacity of a BossHole to suck the joy, energy, enthusiasm, and greatness out of any organization. Research has shown that far too many employees are actively disengaged at work and are functioning as either mindless drones or saboteurs. You can break free of this self-imposed failure by following the simple steps outlined in this book.

Author Interview with Zulfiqar Deo: MBA for Startups

A Conversation with Zulfiqar Deo,

Author of "MBA for Startups"



Featured Author, Zulfiqar Deo
MBA for Startups



Why did you feel you had to write MBA for Startups?
I first started supporting SME’s as a consultant about 8 years ago and found the same concerns over and over again. These concerns were also present in pre-starts, startup and micro businesses. So I decided to make some time to highlight how Entrepreneurs could understand better how to manage their own businesses more successfully. Basically, I was tired of seeing Entrepreneurs lose their living when they didn’t need to.

Business Management of the venture is one of the biggest reasons why businesses fail – please remember over 80% of new businesses fail in their first year. How to manage a business is one of the biggest problems they have. I suppose now a days you could say it help you work on the business as opposed to in the business.

Where do you get your ideas?
I have been supporting New and Small Businesses via a Meet Up Group in London. The Business Mentoring Meet Up - http://www.meetup.com/BusinessMentoring/ has supported over 250 New and Small Businesses over the last 12 months. These free sessions I offered Businesses highlighted the kind of areas that I should include in the book.

Do you ever experience writer’s block and how do you overcome it?
Yes. The first page was the hardest LOL I really wasn’t sure where to start, how to start and what approach to take.

What advice would you give to aspiring writers on the writing and publishing process?
I would say that just because you haven’t written anything before doesn’t mean you can’t write. Taking the first step is tough, but once you make it through it there is nothing that can stop you doing well. In terms of the publishing process. You have a host of choices today from traditional publishing to print on demand. Do your research and find out which suits you best and have the confidence of following what you think is right.

How do you market your work? Have you found some avenues to be more successful than others? 
I tend to use my book as supporting material for "MBA for Start Up" workshops I offer. However, feel now it’s time to broaden the readership. I found using the internet and social media allowed me to lower the cost of production, gain access to a better support base globally and ensured the overall quality of the content is more sophisticated.

If your book was made into a movie, who do you picture playing each part?
Emm. It's a fact-based book so not sure how actors could add value unless you have Anglina Jolie do the narrative, Samuel L Jackson focusing on the Financials, Tom Cruise focusing on How Maverick would use Project Management, etc.

****************
