The N Factor

Adrie Reinders and Marion Freijsen have obviously spent a lot of time thinking through how improved technologies and electronic networks have transformed our ability to network or interact socially, from both a business and a human perspective. Their new book, The N Factor, shares many of their insights into how new forms of networking allow different, innovative, and creative avenues to create a profitable business or simply improve the profitability of your current business. This is not a book merely full of jargon and ideas. The authors share their practical ideas on how building a virtual, personal network can help stimulate a business, and how you then maintain it, nurture it, and grow it.

What distinguishes this book from the thousands of how-to-navigate-today s-business-environment guides is its focus on the wide variety of electronic tools that are available today to help you do your networking ranging from e-mail communication to the more advanced networking sites and search engines. In short, it explores how virtual electronic networks have transformed the possibilities open to anyone for building a personal network. While these technologies are relatively new, they have already made themselves virtually indispensable for business executives. But in the same way that people adapt to any new software or hardware, most quickly settle into using its basic functions and don t begin to explore the vast possibilities that the technology offers.

Hotel Citizen M. - Special E.Factor discount!

E.Factor members get a special discounted rate at Citizen M. - the most innovative concept in hotels you can imagine.

Something exciting is happening in the world of hotels. A new type of traveller is walking through the door. These modern individuals are explorers, culture-seekers, professionals and shoppers. They travel a lot – both long and short haul. They are independent, share a respect for the places they visit and are young at heart.

We call this new traveller: 'Citizen Mobile'. Coming from cities near and far, they share a common desire: affordable luxury for the people. And they are so important to us, we named our hotel after them.

citizenM – short for citizen mobile – has reflected on and learnt from the needs of these new mobile citizens. They know what they like in a good hotel and what they don’t need from a bad one. What they like includes stylish design and great value. They appreciate the best entertainment for free. The latest technology. quality products, a sociable atmosphere, a comfortable bed and great pillows (never, ever underestimate the pillow). They need a hotel in a good location. What they don’t want is unnecessary or hidden costs. They don’t need marble fountains or out-dated services.

Catching the Wolf of Wall Street

In this astounding account, Wall Street’s notorious bad boy—and original million-dollar-a-month stock chopper—leads us through a drama worthy of The Sopranos, from his early rise to power to the FBI raid on his estate to the endless indictments at his arrest, to his deal with a bloodthirsty prosecutor to rat out his oldest friends and colleagues—while they were doing the same. With his kingdom in ruin, not to mention his marriage, the Wolf faced his greatest challenge yet: how to navigate a gauntlet of judges and lawyers, hold on to his kids and his enraged model wife—and possibly salvage his self-respect. It wasn’t going to be easy. In fact, for a man with an unprecedented appetite for excess, it was going to be hell.

From a wired conversation at an Italian restaurant, where Jordan’s conscience finally kicks in, to a helicopter ride with an underage knockout that willbecome his ultimate undoing, here is the tale of a young genius on a roller coaster of harrowing highs—and more harrowing lows. But as the countdown to his moment in court begins, after one last crazy bout with a madcap Russian beauty queen, the man at the center of one of the most outrageous scandals in financial history sees the light of what matters most: his sobriety, and his future as a father and a man. Will a prison term be his first step toward redemption?

BOOK: The Wolf of Wall Street

Yachts, planes, women, drugs - stockbroker Jordan Belfort had it all and lost it all. Tom Leonard meets the man who taught the Mafia how to cheat - then wrote a book about it

Could there be a more compelling poster child for the dark side of modern capitalism than Jordan Belfort?

As a 31-year-old multimillionaire stockbroker, Belfort once landed his helicopter on his back lawn, flying with just one eye open because he was so stoned he had double vision. He sank his 167ft motor yacht, complete with seaplane and helicopter, after overruling the captain and taking it into a Mediterranean storm.

He organised a midget-throwing contest to entertain brokers on his trading floor.

And when he wasn't completely out of his head on drugs, or getting executive relief from prostitutes in the presidential suites of luxury hotels, the man nicknamed the Wolf of Wall Street was presiding over a firm that swindled investors out of $200 million in a shares fraud that landed him and his chief confederates in prison.

BOOK: The Ugly Truth about Small Business

“If I would’ve only known then what I know now…”

It’s a phrase entrepreneurs use when their ventures fail, now it’s a phrase that could mean millions of dollars saved for new business owners.  And it’s about time…

According to the U.S. Small Business Association 50% of all small businesses fail in the first year; 95% within five years.  All new entrepreneurs begin with what they feel are sound business models and marketing plans.  But despite meticulous planning, most make the same disastrous mistakes in their first years, or buckle under the same types of damaging events; all of which they never really saw coming.

Ruth King now reveals the real-world situations that they never teach about in business schools.  King, along with dozens of other small business entrepreneurs, have made the mistakes, weathered the disasters, and now share their personal stories; including a must-know laundry list of “lessons learned the hard way.”

The Ugly Truth recounts 50 actual business disasters, from worst case scenarios to “never-saw-it-coming” avalanches.  Its no-holds-barred approach teaches entrepreneurs and would be entrepreneurs to consider, handle, and/or avoid situations such as:

•    No one showed up.
•    I lost 25 percent of my business in one day.
•    We trusted the wrong people.
•    I got sick and couldn’t work.
•    And many more…

Unlike most books about starting and operating a small business, The Ugly Truth About Small Business deals with reality, not theory.  It focuses on the day-to-day grind that all business owners face, not the few glamorous success stories that will “make it look easy.”  Instead of empty promises, the book presents usable information, making it a must-read for all entrepreneurs, and for those dreaming about owning a business someday.

BOOK: The Ugly Truth about Managing People

Managing:  People Don’t Leave their Company…they Leave their Boss
New Book Teaches Lessons from 50 Actual Management Disasters

“If I would’ve only known then what I know now…”

Even experienced managers make mistakes. It’s a phrase that could mean millions of dollars saved for businesses, large and small.  And it’s about time…

According to a study by the University of Florida, People don’t leave their company. They leave their bosses.

Ruth King, seasoned entrepreneur and author of the new book, The Ugly Truth About Managing People, now reveals the real-world situations that they never teach about in business schools.  King, along with dozens of other managers and employees, from Fortune 500 companies to small businesses, have made the mistakes, weathered the disasters, and now share their personal stories; including a must-know laundry list of “lessons learned the hard way.”

The Ugly Truth recounts 50 actual management issues, from worst case scenarios to “never-saw-it-coming” avalanches.  Its no-holds-barred approach teaches managers and would be managers to consider, handle, and/or avoid situations such as:

•    My employee was in the wrong job
•    I fired my star employee
•    I cursed at my boss
•    I inherited a problem employee
•    Managing teens
•    I went from employee to boss

Unlike most management books, The Ugly Truth About Managing People deals with reality, not theory.  It focuses on the issues that all business owners face, not the few glamorous success stories that will “make it look easy.”  Instead of empty promises, the book presents usable information, making it a must-read for all managers, and for those dreaming about being a manager someday.
