Publisher's Synopsis
Life is a journey of trial and error. But what if we could prevent mistakes in our lives by learning from the mistakes others have made in theirs? Wouldn't that be wonderful? Over the last ten years, as a business and financial development consultant, I've worked with a large number of small and medium sized business. I chose this line of work after many years of running companies and found it to be enriching and challenging in many ways. I use my broad experience and education in the field of economy and business to impart management tools to entrepreneurs and managers, trial-and-error preventive thinking, and other tools that have proven themselves as essential for paving the road to success. As I see it, there's no difference between the way a man conducts himself personally or professionally. The different areas of our life are entwined together, and define who we are. That's why, in this book as well as in life, I deal with all the parts of the personality that I believe have a great influence on success and happiness. The consultation and coaching I conduct are based on four elements: 1. My belief that the goodness of Mankind, like the goodness of society, is dependent on each of us being men of strong values and morals, with the benefit of others in mind as a starting point. 2. My professional experience, built on many years in the public and private sector, including senior management roles. 3. My academic education in the field of economy and business (MBA). 4. My training and expertise as a coach, providing my clients with a practical, professional and efficient way to achieve their goals. It's important to note that all the advice in this book is derived from my own personal experience and knowledge. These suggestions brought me proven success. It is very probable that some of them have been put in writing before because, in the end, we share thoughts and experience. It is in our nature.With many of the suggestions, I present real life examples. Their job is to guide you on how to act in order to adopt the insights at hand. I regard the sharing of my experience and insights with you as a noble and worthy goal. I hope you'll feel the same. An important note: this book isn't only about how to act and how not to act. Our actions are not, nor should be, separate from who we are. An important aspect of the ideas you'll read about here relates to the values and the cornerstones of personality that I strongly advise you to adopt. Only the combination of personal values and proper conduct will eventually lead to a life filled with success, happiness and substance.
