Little Wins

'Read on, and rediscover how to live a fuller and more successful life' SIR RICHARD BRANSON, from the foreword There are some 400 million people worldwide whose creativity, imagination and determination put the rest of us to shame. They are experts in their field, despite having no experience to speak of. Once, you were one of them too. They are toddlers - and they hold the key to unlocking our creative potential as adults. In Little Wins: The Huge Power of Thinking Like a Toddler, Ella's Kitchen founder Paul Lindley reveals the nine characteristics and behaviours that we can all learn from recalling our toddler selves. From attention-grabbing tactics that would humble most marketing experts to the art of thinking divergently, Lindley shows how much we've lost in getting old - and how we can get it back. Never mind growing up; it's time we grew down.

What does a forty-two-year-old, small-town pastor do when he wins one of the most popular singing competitions in the world? Todd Tilghman and his wife, Brooke, share how decades of unrelenting challenges have taught them a joyful mindset of embracing not only winning The Voice but also "every little win" along the way. When Todd Tilghman, pastor and father of eight from Meridian, Mississippi, auditioned for The Voice,he counted it as a win simply to sing in front of an audience other than family and church members. Despite no music or vocal training, he not only made it through the blind audition--with all four celebrity judges vying to coach him--he also won the show's entire eighteenth season. Fans were drawn to Todd's tremendous joy on stage, giving them much-needed inspiration during the hard challenges of a global pandemic. In their first book, Todd and Brooke share how their focus on joy and celebrating every little win has helped them to overcome numerous challenges over their twenty-plus-year marriage. From adopting two children from South Korea to fighting for their newborn son's life to pastoring a small congregation through periods of adversity, Todd and Brooke share the lessons they've learned and the strategies that have moved them from fear to faith to ever-present joy.

What really sets the best managers above the rest? It’s their power to build a cadre of employees who have great inner work lives—consistently positive emotions; strong motivation; and favorable perceptions of the organization, their work, and their colleagues. The worst managers undermine inner work life, often unwittingly. As Teresa Amabile and Steven Kramer explain in The Progress Principle, seemingly mundane workday events can make or break employees’ inner work lives. But it’s forward momentum in meaningful work—progress—that creates the best inner work lives. Through rigorous analysis of nearly 12,000 diary entries provided by 238 employees in 7 companies, the authors explain how managers can foster progress and enhance inner work life every day. The book shows how to remove obstacles to progress, including meaningless tasks and toxic relationships. It also explains how to activate two forces that enable progress: (1) catalysts—events that directly facilitate project work, such as clear goals and autonomy—and (2) nourishers—interpersonal events that uplift workers, including encouragement and demonstrations of respect and collegiality. Brimming with honest examples from the companies studied, The Progress Principle equips aspiring and seasoned leaders alike with the insights they need to maximize their people’s performance.

Introduction I am Vathani Ariyam, the author of the eBook "Thoughts of a Boss," which shows an entrepreneur's thoughts about the current or future business. So, it helps anyone who wants to start or grow an ongoing business. As I mentioned, running a business is a great battle that might tempt you to leave it anytime. So, the only thing stopping you from doing what you do is your love for what you do. I can be a typical example for anyone who wants to stay in business. I am a single entrepreneur who always works without help, but fortunately, I love what I do. I have completely committed myself to my business even though I have yet to reach any significant success. It is not unusual for any entrepreneur to face failure often, but coming out of it is real entrepreneurship and works towards success besides setting your goals. I'd like to tell you about my goals. I will only leave once I see a big hit and stay in my business until I am alive, provided my health remains good. So, when you read this eBook, you will learn many things, like developing essential qualities for an entrepreneur, so know that and continue creating it to help you and your business. Then, how to keep away from negativity, maintain your mind to have positive thoughts, believe in yourself, and always learn about new service strategies you can apply to your business. When you know that your business is moving forward, the important thing is not to get depressed over the downside of your business; instead, keep planning new methods to change your business strategy. You could see failures, so learn to put that aside, but remember to collect the facts for the losses and keep them as lessons to learn from to help you stay in business. If your business is doing well, consider advertising your business; only go for paid advertising if you are familiar with the company. Otherwise, start with free advertisements; once you are confident about your costs, the results could go for paid advertising. Also, could you manage your money and set up proper accounting systems to manage the financial side of your business and prevent it from failing? This will help keep costs under control, an essential aspect of a company. So, you'll need to pay attention to it. A boss must get out of negativity, have self-belief, show empathy to others, and learn to respect and treat customers very well. Further, I must be a good listener and an appreciative person to encourage people, including workers. In addition, entrepreneurs must think about success and not failure, mainly when they deal with others and talk about their business so people can see their confidence in their industry. I hope you will find this book helpful if you are an entrepreneur or planning to become one. If you like it, please leave a helpful review to motivate me to work harder.
