Burn The Business Plan: What Great Entrepreneurs Really Do
by Carl J. SchrammHow would you like to get business startup advice straight from the man who co-founded Global Entrepreneurship Week and StartUp America? Well now you can. Carl Schramm, the man described by The Economist as 'The Evangelist of Entrepreneurship', has written a myth-busting guide packed with tools and techniques to help you get your big idea off the ground. Carl believes that entrepreneurship has been completely misrepresented by the media, business books, university programmes and MBA courses. He believes that the perception of what it takes to start a business no longer matches the reality - which is bad news for everyone because it stops great ideas coming to life. Burn the Business Plan punctures the myth of the cool, tech-savvy 20-something entrepreneur with nothing to lose and venture capital to burn, showing that most people who start businesses are juggling careers and mortgages just like you. Burn the Business Plan is written to encourage you to get started. It demystifies the entrepreneurial process portrayed on television shows like Dragon's Den. It doesn't rely on largely irrelevant stories of overvalued tech startups, nor does it build on the largely mistaken narrative of a linear path from cold start to great success that is the essence of business planning, as taught in universities. This is the guide to starting and running a business that will actually work for the rest of us.Burn the Business Plan is for regular people who just want practical, real-world advice on how to start and run a successful business. It shows you how to avoid the common mistakes and what you need to do to put your enterprise on track for success.
Burn Notice: Recognizing Your Most Inner-Fire Purpose
by A. M. GarciaAn inspirational guide to help readers find their calling and incorporate their purpose into everyday life.“Do I have purpose?” is likely one of the most self-searched questions in all of existence, yet it has been the most difficult answer to obtain. How do we obtain purpose? Is there a formula to this question? Do we seek after it, or does it appear in an instant?Burn Notice is a journey into the heart of one man, who, by faith and obedience, came to understand his own purpose and why he was placed on this earth. It is a life-changing formula that will encourage and inspire you along your own personal walk. Throughout Burn Notice, A.M. Garcia takes believers into the unknown, where purpose and understanding reside to see personal testimonies come to life, as well as the biblical truths that coordinate the two.“Burn Notice will awaken and stir the passion for God in your life. As you read the powerful stories throughout the book, you will find your heart burning to serve Jesus with every breath that you have. Read this book prayerfully, and then go all in on God’s assignment for your life! Thank you, Aaron, for inspiring a generation to live for a higher purpose.” —Randy Lawrence Jr., author of The Burn Factor and In Pursuit“Aaron gives a fresh take on the familiar theme of living with purpose. His enthusiasm for a life lived in radical obedience to Christ is contagious.” —Dr. Travis Hurley, Director of Advancement of Watered Gardens Ministries
Burn the Boats: Toss Plan B Overboard and Unleash Your Full Potential
by Matt Higgins*A WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER!*In this gripping rags-to-riches instant classic, Matt Higgins provides the blueprint he used to go from a desperate sixteen-year-old high school dropout caring for his sick mother in Queens, New York, to a shark on Shark Tank and the faculty of Harvard Business School. Told with raw emotion and radical transparency, Higgins writes the definitive tome on the oldest life hack in history: burn the boats. From Sun Tzu to Julius Caesar, the ancient Israelites to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, there’s a bold and highly effective tactic seen throughout history—when leaders want to motivate their troops for success, they destroy all opportunities for retreat, and fully commit to the mission. They burn their boats; it’s win or perish, and the clarity of sheer desperation propels them to victory.But the conviction of crisis decision-making can also be harnessed in peacetime to achieve unfathomable success. Higgins draws upon extensive research, historical precedent, and dozens of firsthand case studies—from actress-turned-entrepreneur Scarlett Johansson to NFL Coach Rex Ryan—that prove merely contemplating Plan B diminishes the probability of ever achieving Plan A. Now a self-made serial entrepreneur with a $1 billion consumer portfolio of some of America’s most iconic brands, Higgins explains how to burn the metaphorical boats that undermine total commitment, ranging from imposter syndrome to paralyzing anxiety to toxic leadership.Burn the Boats is the manifesto for anyone looking to level up their life while navigating risk. Each chapter includes clear, actionable advice that readers can immediately start applying to their own lives, along with inspiration drawn from dozens of real-life success stories.This book will give you the courage to confidently go all in on your life’s true purpose.

The Burn Zone: A Memoir
by Renee LinnellAfter seven years of faithfully following her spiritual teacher, Renee Linnell finally realized she was in a cult and had been severely brainwashed. But how did that happen to someone like her? She had graduated magna cum laude with a double degree. She had traveled to nearly fifty countries alone before she turned thirty-five. She was a surf model and a professional Argentine tango dancer. She had started five different companies and had an MBA from NYU. How could someone like her end up brainwashed and in a cult? The Burn Zone is an exploration of how we give up our power―how what started out as a need to heal from the loss of her parents and to understand the big questions in life could leave a young woman fighting for her sanity and her sense of self. In the years following her departure from the cult, Linnell struggled to reclaim herself, to stand in her truth, and to rebuild her life. And eventually, after battling depression and isolation, she found a way to come out the other side stronger than ever. Part inspirational story, part cautionary tale, this is a memoir for spiritual seekers and those who feel lost in a world that makes them feel less than perfect.
