Nowadays, world-class companies have and eliminated management hierarchies to cut costs, improve quality, and become more responsive to customers. The blueprint to accomplish this was the best-selling forerunner to this book, LEAN TRANSFORMATION. Becoming a lean enterprise has fundamentally changed how people in these businesses are expected to operate. Rather than superiors telling subordinates what to do, and subordinates doing it, they must get things done by working on empowered teams comprised of peers from other departments. A difficulty many in lean enterprises face is they are expected to get more done with fewer resources than they had before. Administrative support, for example, has gone the way of the buggy whip. Since "work flows toward competency unless abated" a few individuals end up doing it all. It's no surprise, or secret, they're overworked. But this doesn't have to be. This book explains in simple, everyday language a process anyone, regardless of inherent leadership skills, can use to spread out the work, create a sense of urgency and accountability, and get everyone pulling their own weight.

Albert Einstein said, "In the midst of every crisis lies great opportunity," and he was right. So do not let the economic crisis our country is now facing go to waste. This book explains how you can start today to create a wonderful life for yourself when things begin to return to normal-even if you have been laid off and are currently dealing with your state governor's orders to remain at home except for trips to the grocery store. It also tells how-if we work to spread the message of this book to everyone-our nation will not only return to normal quickly, dynamic growth can be achieved that will generate jobs and open up opportunities for virtually everyone.The author of this book has two goals:1) To impart information you can use to pursue the work you were born to do, and thereby to create the best life possible for yourself and your family; and 2) To impart knowledge to everyone willing to listen that will create a zeitgeist that will lead to a high level of prosperity in which everyone can and will flourish. What is a zeitgeist? It is the defining spirit or mood of a particular period of history that stems from the dominant ideas and beliefs of the time. This book seeks to recreate one that existed in the past and was based on a belief that has gone out of fashion, but which facts and research findings suggest can be revived.Social distancing instituted by state governments to slow the spread of the Wuhan Virus has resulted in the closure of many businesses and the loss of jobs by millions of people. Many fear the economy may remain in a deep slump for years. This book reveals what many will find to be new information that understood, embraced, and capitalized upon, can create a positive mindset and a spirit of determination that inevitably will lead to success for individuals as well as the entire nation as a whole.

Would you like to become rich? Stephen Hawley Martin, an entrepreneur who founded and sold two businesses, explains in this book how anyone capable of getting and holding a job can become incredibly wealthy by following one of several paths he sets out. One path is to start a business, grow a business, and sell a business. Alternatives to that direction include keeping a day job and building a fortune by starting and running a business on the side, or by investing in real estate or other passive income generators. Targeted for those under the age of 40 who possess an entrepreneurial spirit, anyone seeking financial independence who reads this book will gain valuable insights about growing his or her net worth to a point the individual will be able to spend each day in his or her own way.Martin asks, "Why complain about the richest one percent? Why not become one of them, instead?" He writes that anyone living in America today can become comfortably well off-even very, very rich-by following certain steps, provided the individual does not wait too long in life to begin. This is true whether a person starts out with a mindset of scarcity or with one of abundance. The right mindset-a winner's attitude-is, however, vitally important, which is why he devotes an entire chapter to personal transformation and self improvement techniques anyone can use to create the mindset needed to attract riches. He argues that if you think of yourself as rich-that you deserve to be rich because it is your birthright-with a sufficient amount of effort, you will become rich. That, he writes, is the basic message of two of the most popular self-help, get-rich books of all time: "Think, and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill [1883-1970] and "The Science of Getting Rich" by Wallace D. Wattles [1860-1911].In summary, Martin shares valuable, hard-earned knowledge acquired over a period of forty years. For six of those years right after college, he worked in an advertising agency, learning that business and industry. He then joined is brother as partner and a principal of The Martin Agency, the ad firm that created the GEICO Gecko and "Virginia is for Lovers." He helped grow that business to the point that it was one of the nation's top ad agencies when the Ogilvy Group purchased it for an unheard of ten-times earnings. He then founded an ad agency called Hawley Martin Partners that was acquired by a New York Stock Exchange company, the Interpublic Group, following five years of rapid growth. For a while after that he was self-employed, freelancing for a number of years before founding The Oaklea Press Inc., a book-publishing firm he continues to operate today. Martin has ghostwritten a number of books, and he has authored 18 more under his own name. Many of his titles have reached bestseller status in their categories on Amazon. He is the only three-time winner of the Writer's Digest Book Award, having won first prize twice for fiction and once for nonfiction. He also has won a first prize for visionary fiction from Independent Publisher and a first prize for nonfiction from USA Book News.

The fundamental principle of Scientific Materialism, which dominates the field of science today, is that nothing exists except material substance-"matter." If true, it follows that consciousness and intelligence could not have existed until evolution produced a brain. This book reveals powerful evidence that indicates otherwise, which suggests that western science as we currently know it needs to be updated. Are we robot-like creatures with computer-like brains that miraculously produce consciousness that remains inside our skulls? When we die, do the lights go out, and that's it? That is what ardent Scientific Materialists would have us believe. But could the scientists in that group be mistaken, or even worse, in denial? Are they aware of scientifically-sound, double-blind experiments that strongly suggest otherwise? This book summarizes a number of these studies, including sixty years of research conducted by a division of the University of Virginia School of Medicine. Read this book and decide for yourself. And if what you learn causes you to think that maybe modern science does need an update, pass the book along to those in positions to facilitate this. Your actions together with those of others could result in a revolution in modern science, a revolution that brings about a new way of viewing reality that could change the world and make it a better place.

This book is small in terms of the number of pages it contains, but it relates big, important news about you and every member of the human race. Once you know who you are and how you came to be, you will possess knowledge and wisdom that can help you make your life as fulfilling and satisfying as it can be. The author presents a theory of human origins and evolution based on indisputable evidence that comes from research conducted by the Division of Perceptual Studies at the University of Virginia School of Medicine. His theory not only explains how you came to be, and who you really are, it will open your eyes to the reality that there is much more to you than you probably ever imagined, even in your wildest dreams. Armed with this knowledge, you will be equipped to find your purpose in life and to map out a plan to achieve your inner-most desires and your highest possible destiny. Stephen Hawley Martin is the author of well over a dozen books and the winner of a number of national awards for his work. In particular, his recent title, "Life After Death, Powerful Evidence You Will Never Die," has received high praise.

It's an extensive research project and is quite understandable for the average reader. . . ." - Alan Halverson "I couldn't put this book down. I'm 34 years old with no major health issues and have been recently dealing with a lot of anxiety over death. . . ." - Nicole Ryan "This is one of the most powerful books on this subject that I have ever read. Very inspiring." - C. Ann Clarkon "Very accessible and well-written overview of recent research supporting evidence of consciousness existing independent of the brain; as well as its implications for survival of awareness after physical death. . . ." - Keith Park, Ph.D.

If you're like most leaders, you'd like to take your organization to the next level. Perhaps you have a clear vision. Maybe you would like to have one, but it's slightly out of focus. Either way, a major obstacle standing between where you are and where you'd like to be is that there never seems to be enough time. As the perennial question goes, how can you drain the swamp, if you are up to your you-know-what in alligators? Now there's a way to create the vision and to free the time. Stephen Hawley ("Steve") Martin, a former principal and Senior Vice President in charge of client planning and strategy development at The Martin Agency explains how in this book. A student of business and a strategic thinker and writer, he has authored and ghostwritten sixteen books, many on management topics such as lean enterprise, lean manufacturing, product development, process based management, and advertising. He has worked with many business leaders to help them take their companies to the next level. Steve lays out a system for creating a vision and a way to bring it into reality. It's a methodology comprised of a few simple rules involving scorecards, action registers, and interlocking teams. Once instituted, everyone will know what he or she must do to succeed personally, as well as what has to be done for the organization to succeed.

Only a tiny number of people at this time in history know the secret of life. Yet only those who grasp it and take it to heart are fully awake, which means most of us remain fast asleep. When we all wake up to the secret, the world will become a much better place. But that is more easily said than done. The secret is not difficult to understand, and it is an obvious truth to those who consider with truly open minds the facts set forth in this book. Nevertheless, the secret will likely be dismissed out of hand by those unwilling to objectively consider the evidence, and some will vehemently oppose it, perhaps subconsciously, no matter what. Why? Because they will see the truth as a personal threat.However, once enough people know, understand, and accept the secret, old animosities will disappear. And what could be a more positive development in this highly partisan age? There can be no doubt that widespread knowledge and acceptance of the secret can create a bond of harmony and brotherhood among us that can lead to a new golden age. Be among the first to know. Read this book and grasp the secret. Experience joy and the cessation of fear. Then actively encourage others to do the same. All you have to do to begin is click "Buy Now."

In this book, award-winning author, Stephen Hawley Martin, issues a challenge to scientists by asking, "Which of you will go down in history as the one who worked out the math and presented the calculations that prove this new theory of creation?" Martin outlines the structure and implications of the theory and provides scientific findings to support it, writing that he believes the cosmology presented not only eventually will be proven and accepted, it will be common knowledge within a hundred years. He writes that the result will be that all human beings will come to view themselves and their place in the universe in a new way that will be a boon, not only to each individual, but to civilization as a whole.

If you believe without a doubt what your science teachers told you in school that matter is all there is, and that if it cannot be seen under a microscope, then it doesn't exist, this book is not for you. As Thomas Gray wrote more than 250 years ago, "Where ignorance is bliss, 'tis folly to be wise." So, don't risk upsetting yourself by reading this book. You would probably remain in denial, anyway, and perhaps even write a one-star review.On the other hand, if you believe that the universe had to come from something rather than nothing and would like to know a plausible theory concerning what that might be, then you have come upon a book that just might have the answer. Read it, but please do so with an open mind.This book lays out a theory and backs it up with facts and scientific research findings concerning what the universe and you are at the core-the ground of being of all that is, including you. The truth is, this is not new information. A tiny number of wise men and women have known throughout the ages, butchances are you do not know because in the twenty-first century western world this knowledge is taboo. Leaders of science in particular, and many in politics and religion, do not want you to know. If you and others found out, they would lose face and power, and you would become the one empowered, along with others who know. In plain English, the author explains clearly who and what the self is in each of us-along with much, much more, including how to make the most of it. Do you want to know? Of course you do, and all you have to do is click "Buy Now."

You were born for a reason, and if you don't know the reason, you cannot be making progress toward its fulfillment-and so you likely feel that something's missing in your life, or worse-you may be unhappy or depressed. This book provides a methodology not only to find out why you're here, it will hand you three keys that if accepted and embraced can open your eyes to who you really are and what you ought to be doing to achieve lasting happiness. What's revealed isn't taught in school or college-modern culture simply does not know or show the way. The author imparts ancient knowledge that for hundreds of years-perhaps even thousands-has been known only by secret society members. Here you will find nothing less than the truth that will set you free, and what could possibly be better than that?

What happens when we die? This new edition of Life After Death adds to powerful evidence consciousness continues the author presented in an earlier release. He spent two years gathering information that demonstrates this and along the way interviewed more than a hundred experts in a number of different fields. Among them were parapsychologists, medical doctors, psychologists, psychiatrists, quantum physicists, and researchers into the true nature of reality. Specific examples are presented that indicate what happens when we die, for example that memories can be formed and retained despite a subject's brain having been shutdown and the blood drained from it. Questions such as whether or not you will be able to communicate with living loved ones after death are addressed, if it is possible to be reborn, and what might be missing from reproductive theory to explain the various phenomena indicated in the many case histories and scientific investigations presented.All of us will someday cross the border to what Shakespeare called "The undiscovered country." As long as we must make that trip, wouldn't it be smart to find out where we are going and what to expect when we get there?
