Publisher's Summary:

Your digital business start-up journey begins here.

From the best-selling author of The Small Business Start-up Workbook, Cheryl Rickman brings you a thoroughly practical guide to starting up a digital business, covering the full journey from idea to exit, with easy-to-implement strategies to make your online venture an on-going success.

Learn how to:

Cheryl Rickman writes books on the big world of business from a small village in Hampshire. After working in editorial for three years post-graduation, Cheryl joined an online information publisher and wrote a number of booklets about internet business and web marketing. At the age of 25, Cheryl decided to combine running her own internet business - which served clients such as Microsoft and Motorola - with a freelance writing career, focusing on entrepreneurship, business start-up, and company growth.

Critic Reviews:

If you want advice on starting your own internet business, dont ask me, read this book instead. It is more up-to-date and costs far less than a good lunch. (Nick Jenkins, Founder of Moonpig.com)

"If you read just one book on digital business, make it this one... It is inspirational, informative, and interactive in equal measure. Highly recommended!" (Rowan Gormley, Founder and CEO of NakedWines.com)

"Interspersed with inspiring and useful stories from successful entrepreneurs, this book can help aspiring business owners through a step-by-step process of refining their start-up ideas and building a solid business." (Elizabeth Varley, Founder and CEO of TechHub)

Members Reviews:

Decent if you have an idea and plan to fund it.

Would you listen to The Digital Start Up Workbook again? Why?

I would listen again, once I was in a place to actually need to steps and planned to go "all in" with a solid idea. Rickman has done this (more than once) and knows her stuff. The books contents are a bit dated, only because the technologies evolve so quickly, but on the whole it's still solid and (mostly) practical advice.

Any additional comments?

The 'review questions' should be specific to the type of book. A novel is very different than an instructional book :P

Members Reviews:

Excruciatingly bad Chinese pronunciation

Would you consider the audio edition of China Now: Doing Business in the World's Most Dynamic Market to be better than the print version?

NO!

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

The book is supposed to advice you on how to deal with Chinese, but the reading is sooooo bad and abhorrent especially the Chinese words that it gets really distracting.

How could the performance have been better?

Get someone who,is willing to invest in time learning how to read pinyin properly before reading for this kind of book.

Any additional comments?

I have to think hard where are the location being read because the pronunciation is horrid! The voice is fantastic though.

Very interesting if you persist with it

Where does China Now: Doing Business in the World's Most Dynamic Market rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?

This book does a great job of conveying the information it needs to. It is average for the books I listen to, but that average represents a high quality because I am very selective.

What did you like best about this story?

This book gave great cultural insight into China, covering things from a number of important angles, helped build understanding, and culminating in a very positive message. It takes a very detailed and analytical approach.

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

The narration was overall monotonous, and for this reason it was hard to get through it. It wasn't helped that often the writing was often laboured also.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No.

Any additional comments?

This is honestly quite dry, but once you get past that, it is full of important insights. Sometimes a detailed approach is important, but the writing style and delivery could have been better to draw you.

Good

Helped a lot for my college assignment.

Courage Goes To Work - Great Interesting Read

Courage Goes To Work - I loved this book! The title is what grabbed me first, as the workplace is one place we definitely need more courage. Bill is a terrific writer. His style is motivational, easy to read and powerful in its simplicity. As well, Bill is humble and approachable in his delivery, and I identified with him through struggles, triumphs and principles throughout this book. I love to learn, read and gain knowledge. I am years behind in the number of books I want to read, and articles I want to research. Choosing what to read next is not often easy for me. I am so glad Bill's book made it to the top of my list, and I think you will be too. I highly recommend this entertaining, motivating and action oriented book. Read it and put the ideas and strategies to work immediately - you will be glad you did!

The right book at the right time

I have read many management books, and I have an even larger stack to get through. Bill's book was sitting I my pile until it struck me one day that this was the next book to read. Rather than plodding through it like so many others, I was really struck by the message - get out there and do it, and support your team as they do it too. Bill's style is clear and uplifting without being preachy; insightful without being pedantic. The stories highlight his points, and underscore why Bill is such a great coach and author - he lives what he teaches every day. I am already applying his ideas with my own team, and I look forward to seeing their achievement.

Courage Goes To Work

Courage Goes To Work is an amazing book. Just by reading it has helped me gain much more confidence in myself. When I was reading the book and trust me I hate to even read but when I started reading this book I couldn't put it down. It was as if the author was talking about me. It tells amazing stories and is a great purchase for someone that wants to make new challenges in their life. You will not regret buying this book. I have read it twice and I know I will read it a 3rd time once I get it back from a friend of mine that barrowed it.

Courage and one simple question...

Great book. Bill is a motivational writer using real world examples that hit home. Once you answer the holy question "What do you want?" read this book to figure out how to get it. A quick read that empowers you to do the right thing and get what you want. A guide to building your own strength and getting people to follow. A book I will use for reference for a long time.

Title: The Click Moment

Subtitle: Seizing Opportunity in an Unpredictable World

Author: Frans Johansson

Narrator: Erik Synnestvedt

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 45 mins

Language: English

Release date: 09-21-12

Publisher: Gildan Media, LLC

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 39 votes

Genres: Business, Career Skills

Publisher's Summary:

On the one hand we arent surprised by the uncertainty of everyday life, but on the other we believe that success can be analyzed and planned for. It is a revealing paradox. The implications are explosive and they obliterate every common-sense notion we have about strategy and planning. The Click Moment is about two very simple but highly provocative ideas. The first is that success is randomfar more random than we would like to believe. The second is that there are a number of specific actions that we, as individuals and organizations, can take to capture this randomness and focus it in our favor.

According to Johansson, strategy, planning, and careful analysis can no longer guarantee strong performance; todays business environments are far too random and complicated. But when you dig deep into the actions of successful people and organizations, youll find one common theme. A turning point occursa major client signs on, a new competitor redefines the market, an unlikely idea surfacesand they take advantage of that serendipity to change their fate.

Consider how . . .Diane von Furstenberg saw Julie Nixon Eisenhower on TV wearing a matching skirt and top, and the timeless, elegant wrap-dress was born. Microsoft Windows was on the brink of being shut down until two individuals met unexpectedly at a party and altered the fate of the worlds dominant computer operating system. Starbucks sold high-end brewing equipment and coffee by the pound until Howard Schultz experienced his first latte in a café in Milan. Nike was stumped on how to invent a spikeless trainer when a legendary running coach poured latex on a waffle iron. Each of these individuals experienced a click momenta rare point of opportunity that was completely unexpected. But they capitalized on their luck in ways that paid off significantly and altered their organizations strategies and the course of their lives. Johansson uses stories of successful people and companies throughout history to illustrate the specific actions we can take to create more click moments, place lots of high-potential bets, open ourselves up to chance encounters, and harness the complex forces of success that follow.

Critic Reviews:

In a world where random events increasingly rule our destinies, forget logic. Invite chance, then maximize it. With highly engaging and entertaining style, Frans Johansson shows us how.Peter Sims, author of Little Bets

Title: The Idea Hunter

Subtitle: How to Find the Best Ideas and Make them Happen

Author: Andy Boynton, Bill Fischer, William Bole

Narrator: Sean Pratt

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4 hrs and 39 mins

Language: English

Release date: 04-26-11

Publisher: Gildan Media, LLC

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 88 votes

Genres: Business, Career Skills

Publisher's Summary:

Ideas are arguably the most valuable asset in an information-based economy. But how do you find the best ideas - the kind that can boost careers, change organizations, and ramp up the value of projects? Why do some people seem to come up with these ideas whenever they need them?

In this myth-busting audio book, the authors reveal that great business ideas do not spring from innate creativity, or necessarily from the minds of brilliant people. High-value ideas come to those who are in the habit of looking for such ideas - all around them, all the time. These are the Idea Hunterswho do not buy into the notion that the only great idea is a pristinely original one. They understand that game-changing ideas are already out there, waiting to be spotted and shaped into an innovation. The authors present an eclectic band of Idea Hunters, including Thomas Edison, Mary Kay Ash, Walt Disney, Warren Buffett, Apple's Phil Schiller, and the leaders of Twitter, Pixar Animation Studios, and the Boston Beer Company, and unveil a strategy for unearthing new ideas in any industry or organization. It is a must-have resource for anyone who wants to tap into the successful business ideas that are just waiting to be rediscovered.

Critic Reviews:

"Humans make progress by discovering new ideas, but also, importantly, by repurposing the ones that already exist. Boynton and Fischer show how each of us can get better at this critical skill - identifying and reapplying existing ideas." (Paul Romer, senior fellow, Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research)

Members Reviews:

BASIC

Not bad, just simplistic. While productive and entertaining, the book needed more. Good reader though.

awesome

This book inspired me to step up my journey towards my set goals. And it's very well narrated

loved it

I absolutely love this book! I will reread it again and I imagine I will be reading this book time and time again as I go through life. Love this book!

Idea hunter needs more ideas...

Would you try another book from the authors and/or Sean Pratt?

No

What was most disappointing about the authorss story?

The most disappointing thing about this book was the repetition of examples. For a book purporting to be about finding ideas, the author seems only have a handful of sources for ideas. I stopped reading the book midway through chapter 4 when AGAIN the author started a walk down the Apple's work on innovating the the iPod click wheel interface. Again. Disney and Edison also appear to be the only other primary inspirations for ideas.

OK content, but dreadfully slow, boring reading

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Somewhat. Many other writers and researcher present this information better (more accurately and more comprehensively) in various other venues. Yet, it's nice to have it collected here.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

It's not a novel, so the ending isn't some big fireworks!

What didnt you like about Sean Pratts performance?

Far too tedious. The rhythm is slow. The pause between each sentence is too long and put me asleep. The reading lacks energy, passion, variation. The reader sounds lethargic and not interested.

Members Reviews:

Redesigned My Life

I first read this book from my local library. I liked the concise steps outlined that helped me redesign my career path and ultimately my mindset. The experience alone is worth the cost of this book and is the basis for my continual progress to excel. I'm paying it forward to show my appreciation to the author for taking the time to help so many with his words.

Dr. Doug delivers again - superb book! Perfect for those wanting to achieve success

Dr. Doug's new book "8 Ways To Great" reveals top strategies that people can use to get ahead in life (both on the job in business, in trading, and everywhere else).

Written in a practical, step by step way with strategies that are important to implement (and easy to understand), this guide delivers powerful new insights and is an excellent roadmap for helping people achieve peak performance, in any occupation.

Combining a blend of trading, sports and hands-on business analogies, Dr. Doug's book is a superb resource for anybody wanting to achieve top performance.

From his "C.H.A.M.P." goal-setting process (p.34), to practical strategies he's used to help coach top performers to hold themselves accountable (Principle #8 - you've got to read the one about the overnight office stay, p. 101)... he's compiled a very useful set of principles, guidelines and examples for how to get yourself even more focused on success.

As someone who's 'made it' as a seven-figure business owner, this is one book I wish I'd been able to read years ago, it would've helped me focus and achieve success even faster. Coming from the world of sports and trading, Dr. Doug's insights are fresh, innovative (you've never seen these before, they're new), and highly recommended for all people in business and life to study, learn and achieve peak performance with - it's a winner.

Thanks, Dr. Doug - this is a "must have" book; I've already dog-eared 8 pages in the book that I'll be using to help get even better in business and life success. Bravo!

To success,

Ken Calhoun, Pres.

Daytrading University

Nothing that changed my life...that's for sure

This book is well written but is full of really industry specific analogies and advice.

It does have 8 concepts that can be applied to making your life more effective but a lot of the content is driven around what it is like to be a rockstar trader. I wouldn't say that this is the life that everyone wants. To be fair, the author does go on to point out ways that his principles can be applied to everyday life but in general I left reading the book without being inspired to make immediate change.

I could have saved the time I read the book by reading the last couple of pages. Meh, oh well....

Son liked it

I bought it for my son, he enjoyed it.

Great.

Very good book. Readable and interesting, simple concepts very well detailed, but very deep.
