WHEN WE THINK ABOUT GREAT ENTREPRENEURS, WE NOTICE SOMETHING IN COMMON: THEY WENT BEYOND THE OBVIOUS. THEY THOUGHT OUTSIDE THE BOX. THEY SAW SOLUTIONS WHEN THE REST OF THE MARKET ONLY SAW HINDRANCES. THAT'S THE SKILL I WANT TO HELP YOU DEVELOP. Everybody knows how hard it is to own a company in the current market—mortality is high, and achieving the desired profit takes time, discipline, and planning. As you build a company, or even while still developing your business idea, you notice some of the complications that might prevent you from going forward: lack of financial control, bad time management, wanting to do everything all at once, inability to finish things, lack of collaboration and team training. However, few people know how to survive adversity, grow and reach success. To teach these and other secrets about entrepreneurship Camila Farani—businesswoman, investor, and Shark Tank Brasil shark—wrote her first book. In this book, she deals with subjects such as Brazilian informal culture, lack of specialization and the need for continuous management studies. Through recognizing the fear of taking your next step, Farani brings to you all of her knowledge from nearly twenty years of experience, which will help today's entrepreneurs become tomorrow's great business leaders. Here, you'll learn to: Protect your business from the most common mistakes made by aspiring entrepreneurs during the first stages of a business; Align your idea to a structured, guided business model to offer solutions that will actually attract your clientele; Price the products and services you're offering to the market fairly; Get out of your comfort zone, go beyond the obvious, and innovate, strengthening your business; Build a business plan based on clarity around your resources, efficiency, judicious execution, and scale growth strategy. And, most of all, understand that, when it comes to business, giving up is not an option!

Sometimes pain makes its mark on our lifes in such profound ways that it feels like they start to define who we are.

Amid all the mess in my life, I found my way back to my safe harbor, to my truth and my self-love. In this book, my deepest desire is to take you the reader on a journey of love, understanding and acceptance, so that you can: Leave behind the cycle of suffering and experience the relief and support you will need for the next steps; Rebuild your relationships, starting with yourself followed by everyone who is important in your life; Reconnect with your self-value and your own truth, so that you can live according to your purpose in life; Experience forgiveness and allow yourself to be truthfully happy; Free the strength inside yourself!

"If you want to take a leap into your dream life and take control of yourself, this book is a must-read. You will no longer have to give up a second of your life." - Roberto Shinyashiki You went through several books before finding this one. You looked at the cover, the title caught your eye, you started reading the first sentence and decided to continue. I ask you, however: was it you who made the decision for each of those steps? You might believe so, but the truth is that everything happened so fast that your decisions had already been made before you could think about them, taken by a deeper part of your mind: your subconscious, responsible for everything you are and do. On which other paths is your mind taking you without your consent? In his first book, Michael Arruda, president of OMNI Brazil, will show you how to get control of your mind, and, consequently, your personal and professional lives. With this goal, he will present you the process that allows you to access your subconscious, identify the causes for pain and insecurities, and solve them quickly and effectively: hypnotherapy. On this journey through your mind, you will learn: - How the three parts of your mind work and what mechanisms lead to your decisions, from the simplest ones to those that can radically transform your life.; - Why you are the way you are—and what is the root of your biggest problems and challenges.; - How to stop self-sabotaging with habits, attitudes, and beliefs that only lead you away from your goals.; - How to become the captain of your life and never again feel like a hostage to destiny.
