Many organizations often wonder where to start and what to do. The Succession Planning for Sustainable Small and Family Business book provides a comprehensive approach in guiding such efforts.

Who will lead your organization into the future? Have you created the systems to properly implement required succession transitions? Have you put the financial tools in place to fund the transition? Do you want a plan that connects with your personal and company core values? When do you include timely planning related to strategy and talent issues? What are the appropriate communication strategies for sharing your plan? What legal issues need consideration related to the strategy, financial, and people aspects of succession?So, what is preventing you from starting this effort tomorrow? Small and family businesses are the bedrock of all businesses. More people are employed by small and family-owned businesses than by all multinational companies combined. Yet the research on small and family businesses is bleak: fewer than one-third of small business owners in the United States can afford to retire. Only 40% of small businesses have a workable disaster plan in case of the sudden death or disability of the owner, and only 42% of small businesses in the United States have a succession plan. Fewer than 11% of family-owned businesses make it to the third generation beyond the founder. Lack of succession planning is the second most common reason for small business failure.Many organizations often wonder where to start and what to do. Succession Planning for Small and Family Businesses: Navigating Successful Transitions presents a comprehensive approach to guiding such efforts.Small and family-owned businesses rarely employ first-rate, well-qualified talent in human resources. More typically, business owners must be jacks-of-all-trades and serve as their own accountants, lawyers, business consultants, marketing experts, and HR wizards. Unfortunately, that does not always work well when business owners embark on planning for retirement or business exits. To help business owners avert problems, this book advises on some of the management, tax and financial, legal, and psychological issues that should be considered when planning retirement or other exits from the business. This comprehensive approach is unique when compared to the books, articles, and other literature that currently exist on the market. This book takes on a bold and integrated approach. Relevant research combined with the rich experiences of the authors connects this thorough, evidence-based approach to action-based approaches for the reader.

"DotCom Secrets is not just another "how-to" book on internet marketing. This book is not about getting more traffic to your website-yet the secrets you'll learn will help you to get exponentially more traffic than ever before. This book is not about increasing your conversions-yet these secrets will increase your conversions more than any headline tweak or split test you could ever hope to make.

What most businesses really have is a "funnel" problem. Your funnel is the online process that you take your potential customers through to turn them into actual customers. Everyone has a funnel (even if they don't realize it), and yours is either bringing more customers to you, or repelling them. In this updated edition, Russell Brunson, CEO and co-founder of the multimillion-dollar software company ClickFunnels, reveals his greatest secrets to generating leads and selling products and services after running tens of thousands of his own split tests. Stop repelling potential customers. Implement these processes, funnels, frameworks, and scripts now so you can fix your funnel, turn it into the most profitable member of your team, and grow your company online"--

"I was expecting a dry business book and was surprised and so excited that it wasn't all business, but health and wellness too ... almost a life hack book as well as a business book." Virginia Johnson"I just wanted to thank you for writing the book I needed to read. To be completely honest, I didn't intend to read it all the way through but it was so well written, logical and full of great advice that I read it in one sitting. I love that you've provided real, actionable strategies that I can use to help myself." Kirsty RussellWHAT DOES A SUCCESSFUL SMALL BUSINESS LOOK LIKE?After 10 years in business Kelly Exeter came to this conclusion: It's one that's both profitable, and also set up so the business owners have the emotional resilience to surmount all the challenges thrown their way.Over the years she signed up for hundreds of courses and downloaded countless free e-books and resources. Not one of them made her business more resilient or successful. None of them made her business life easier. Eventually, she realised the only reason she was signing up for all those things was because she was looking for a magic bullet. Something that didn't exist.What did exist, however, were shortcuts. Faster pathways to achieving the success she craved. It took 10 years and thousands of dollars for Kelly to figure out the shortcuts she shares in this book. Hopefully, you'll benefit from them much earlier in your business journey.

THEY MADE AMERICA GREAT. America Is the Ultimate Start-up Venture?and These Are the Heroes Who Made It Happen.The history of the United States is, to a remarkable degree, the story of its entrepreneurs, those daring movers and shakers who dreamed big and risked everything to build better lives for themselves and their fellow Americans. Drawing on his family's own remarkable journey, Duck Commander CEO and star of the blockbuster Duck Dynasty series Willie Robertson tells the captivating true tale of the visionaries and doers who have embodied the American dream. We begin with the first American entrepreneurs, the Native Americans, who established a highly sophisticated trading network across the land in the precolonial days. The original Founding Father, George Washington, was also a founding entrepreneur, at the head of a thriving agribusiness venture that gave him the executive skills to steer the nation through the darkest hours of the American Revolution. Then, of course, there were the mega entrepreneurs, legendary figures like Astor, Vanderbilt, Carnegie, and Rockefeller, who transformed America, connected the country with miles of railroad track, and supplied the fuel and steel that would help make America the most powerful nation on earth. And in recent years, technology visionaries like Jobs, Gates, and Zuckerberg?not to mention the thousands of equally vital, yet smaller-scale, operators who spring up every year?have ushered America into the twenty-first century.American Entrepreneur also relates the story of the Robertson family business, telling how Willie's family turned a humble regional duck call manufacturer, founded by his father, Phil, into an international powerhouse brand. From a young age, Willie had the entrepreneurial bug, buying candy in bulk and hawking it on the school bus. He did special orders and earned a small fortune for a ten-year-old?until he was hauled into the principal's office and told to knock it off. So he transferred his focus to Phil's fledgling business, helping in whatever way he could, from folding endless numbers of cardboard boxes to acting as the company's customer service department?though he wasn't even out of grade school. Willie helped build Duck Commander, which he now runs, into a worldwide brand, culminating in the mega success of the Duck Dynasty television show.American Entrepreneur tells a most American tale of those among us who, through their vision, ingenuity, and good old-fashioned hard work, made something that changed the world.
