I could not finish.

Writing must have been outsourced. Many points repeated and rephrased. I can not imagine what the abridged version would include.

Title: Second Shift

Subtitle: The Inside Story of the Keep GM Movement

Author: David Hollister, Ray Tadgerson, David Closs, G. Tomas M. Hult

Narrator: John Alexander Brancy

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 23 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-11-16

Publisher: McGraw-Hill Education

Genres: Business, Commerce & Economy

Publisher's Summary:

The dynamic, collaborative management model that saved a US manufacturing city.

When car-making giant General Motors decided to close its plant in Lansing, Michigan, in 1996, one person - the city's newly elected mayor - stood up and said no. Initially it was the cry of a man in the wilderness. Not once in its century-long history had GM reversed a decision to close a plant. But Mayor David Hollister quietly went to work building the Lansing Works! Keep GM! movement and succeeded in defying all the odds. Lansing remains GM's Oldsmobile headquarters.

Hollister's collaborative problem-solving approach - the Second Shift model - succeeded in bringing together state and regional politicians, economic developers, private-sector firms, labor unions, educators, and residents of the region. Powerful, persuasive, and well organized, this coalition implemented a strategic six-dimensional framework to achieve the seemingly impossible:

The Lansing Works! Keep GM! movement was a victory of people over bureaucracy, of a can-do attitude over cynicism - a story rarely told in today's complex and often dehumanizing technological world of large business and out-of-control government. And the best part was that in the end, both sides came away winners. It's proof positive that when the public and private sectors work together as equal partners, amazing things can happen.

One of the great business sagas of modern times, Second Shift provides a proven, practical design for problem solving that anyone can apply in any business, large or small.

Dullish narrative but inspiring story

In 1996, two years into his first term, Mayor David Hollister of Lansing, Mich. was confronted with the sobering news that General Motors planned to close its area plant and move. In the late nineties, GM was responsible for 7,000 direct jobs, 20,000 jobs with community ties, and 50,000 statewide jobs in commerce, so calling this a potential catastrophe would not be exaggerating. However, Hollister refused to be daunted and reached out to other business leaders, including Edward Donovan, Municipal Government for GM. Together they would come up with, then implement a six-step strategic framework to find a way to keep GM. Successfully implementing this process meant coordinating and working with a number of groups, each with its own agenda, including business, labor, local and state government, citizens and community organizations. As it turned out - and is detailed in this book, the campaign was a stunning success: General Motors ultimately wound up building multiple state of the art manufacturing plants in Michigan. The "Second Shift" is the story of how this came about.

The Six Steps.

1. Identifying challenges

2. Partnering: i.e. building strong relationships between different groups (and political party lines)

3. Building: i.e. employing a willingness to be flexible and continually evaluate how effective the process is

4. Solving, i.e. engage in constant problem solving

5. Celebrating, i.e. mark successful milestones, both big and small

6. Persevering

One thing that struck me was how willing the various authors and people interviewed were willing to admit that in multiple places, it had not been a smooth journey.

Investment Strategy Made Clear

I received an ARC of this book from Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.

When the Bernie Madoff scandal broke in the news, I wondered how someone could get away for so long with a Ponzi scheme without anyone catching on to what he was up to. The answer seemed to be that when people are realizing gains on their investments, they don't question why they're getting richer. They just accept it as their due. But then came the realization that people who trusted Bernie Madoff with their retirement funds and many other sources of revenue were completely wiped out. THEN people wanted answers, and it wasn't much of a stretch to say they wanted Madoff's head on a silver platter. That's when I wondered if all those investors bore no responsibility at all for what happened to their money. All was peachy when they increased their nest eggs, but now that all was in jeopardy and people lost every cent they'd saved, NOW they wanted blood. Enter David Mallach, author of Myth, a wonderfully informative book in the form of a story about one such couple who wanted to invest their money into vehicles that would support them financially during their retirement years.

The story begins with Henry and Norma Thompson who have brought a case against their financial advisor, Valerie Brown. Along with their respective attorneys, the Thompsons and Ms Brown are in an arbitration meeting that will decide what is to be done about the $400,000 they lost since handing over management of their money to Brown. There are 3 members on the panel deciding the outcome of this case. The Thompson's attorney, Lucien Marat, believes he has built a rock solid case against both Valerie Brown, and also against her employer, American National Finance. He believes he can recover all the money lost for the Thompsons as well as hefty punitive damages. The rest of the book details how Marat prepared to do that.

This could have been the kind of book that makes people's eyes glaze over as they explain they don't understand how the investment business works. I've heard others say that they just can't process the information; it's all too complicated for anyone not directly tied to the investment process. Obviously none of those people tried reading David Mallach because not only can he explain what we need to know in terms easy to follow, but he provides examples of his points especially concerning what people should be looking for and what they can expect to get from financial advisors.

I'm ready to take massive action and become financially free!

What I've liked about the author is his genuine honesty, I've read many passive income books and many of them promise that I would get rich "fast". The author acknowledges the fact that getting rich doesn't happen overnight, and if we want to become financially free we must build our determination and be persistent to achieve our goals even if we don't see immediate results in the beginning. I think this book showed me the correct mindset and attitude that I need to succeed!

It is known widespread that passive income is easy and everyone can do it and start earning money

It is known widespread that passive income is easy and everyone can do it and start earning money. On the contrary, you have to be smart and work smart to earn that income.

Offers Diverse Avenues to Earn Money Online

I've read quite a few of these types of books and thought this author did a good job on presenting various ways you can make money online. The author offers plenty of different ideas, such as freelance writing, renting out of space in your home, bookkeeping, blogging, stock trading, selling handmade items, or providing a service like running errands or driving. It's quite a diverse list, so you're probably not going to be interested (or qualified) to perform every one of the ideas. Within each category, it also includes some websites for you to follow through if you're interested in that type of money-making avenue. I think the author could have made the writing stronger by editing for grammar/spelling one more time, and the book ends abruptly with the last money-making idea. Not horrible mistakes to knock off a star. It's a good guide to give you ideas on how to make money online -- even if you're already doing this, you'll probably find some new avenues to pursue. If you're new to earning online income, you'll have plenty of ideas to pursue after reading this book.

I am so much interested in money making online. The book has a solid quality, the book provides a very nice information and I really had fun with the easy to follow methods. One of the books that make sense and can give a major difference in your life if you can follow.

The book provides tips on how to make a website and hosting. I would love to try the tips from this guide and start making a money.

A Great Guide for Beginners

Wow, I wish I had read this book before I started looking for ways to make money online. This book is so easy to read and is pretty thorough and has a vast array of options. This is not someone trying to sell you on affiliate marketing. This book goes step by step starting with why we need extra money and ending with lots possibilities for making money online. What I liked best though--I liked that there was a warning about "If it seems too good to be true, it probably is." This book takes different ways to earn money online and starts with something small and easy to do. Each method is discussed and names of sites or companies that pay people to work online for them are mentioned so you can go online and look for yourself. This book also includes pros and cons for each method. The last chapter is how to apply these ideas for the best results and I think that is helpful. If you are thinking about working online you should read this book!.

Great Book for getting ideas!

It was a great book to get ideas from and think about. I wish though it was a bit longer and had many more ideas then just the basics!

Great

As a new online business entrepreneur this book has helped me immensely. Tons of great facts and tips that will allow you to make money online easier!

Title: Startup Fever

Subtitle: How Crowdfunding Will Rebuild the American Dream

Author: Austin Muhs

Narrator: Dan Lizette

Format: Unabridged

Length: 3 hrs and 57 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-18-16

Publisher: Austin Muhs

Genres: Business, Commerce & Economy

Publisher's Summary:

The American dream is having a mid-life crisis! It doesn't matter if you are a high level executive or a high school dropout, in this day and age people are on the hunt for more meaningful work. People realize that time is short and want to do something special and unique with their working lives. A quest which has resulted in frustration for many; luckily, crowdfunding has swooped in to save the day. For those looking to make the most out of the crowdfunding wave, a better time has never been upon us.

The author takes us on his journey from middle-class disenfranchisement to vocational enrichment, exploring the who, what, and why along the way. Startup Fever shows listeners how crowdfunding allows you to create your own entrepreneurial destiny if you are willing to put in the time and effort. As is with anything long-lasting, solid preparation is the key. This book serves to alleviate many people's concerns about starting a new business in this economic climate. Austin shows listeners how emotional and spiritual healing can emanate from people who embrace a meaningful vocation.

While many books address the DIY portions of crowdfunding, Startup Fever takes it a step further by connecting the dots between crowdfunding and cultural evolution. The book also shows listeners low-budget start-up models that defy the odds and get you off the ground for little to no money down. Austin utilizes his extensive guerrilla startup knowledge to help you with all of the little money-saving tricks of the startup trade.

Members Reviews:

The WHY of Crowdfunding and Entrepreneurship answered ( or questioned ?) here

Good reading overall. Austin seems to have gone through some good and not so good times in life which seem to a have profound impact on his take on entrepreneurship. Now if you are picking up this book with hopes of learning about startups and Crowdfunding then put it back since there are not much objective pointers ( a few here are there ). But you must still read this book if you are anywhere wading into waters of entrepreneurship, since Austin tries to give you an insight into the "purpose of all this s***" like no one else I have read recently. Quick, easy and simple read yet many powerful observations are littered here and there. At times Austin gets preachy and often you will feel you are just hearing someone rant and swear on this world because the world is just so far away from a simple form Austin wants it to be. You have to sort of tolerate it at times but nevertheless here it is a juicy mix of entrepreneurship, spirituality, and why's and more why's and then why the nirvana lies in choosing your vocation and finding your calling as soon as you can. Good one Austin !

Inspiring!

Austin really tunes into the spiritual aspect of the American dream and how it is much deeper than just making money. This book will inspire and give you the tools and fuel to continue your search for the American dream.

A Worthwhile Read for the Enlightened Entrepreneur

As other reviewers mentioned, the title to this book is misleading.
