    The podcast comes to an end

    Hi everyone, After 183 episodes of the Business Bookshelf podcast I have decided to bring it to an end. Like for most people the last two years have been challenging.  The constant source of joy has been this podcast.  It has taken me from my study here in South Africa and allowed me to speak to incredible people around the world. I am very appreciative of everyone who has been involved in the podcast - the authors who were interviewed, the companies that sent me authors to interview, the listeners of the podcast and my family. Wish you everything of the best! Lance Peppler

    Episode 181 of the Business Bookshelf podcast - Jeff Finney - author of "That's It, I'm Fired" Perhaps you're one of those business owners who forgets to eat lunch. Or, if you do, you pick up a sandwich while checking your email. Maybe you haven't been on a real vacation in years and your family time is limited to an hour or two a day. Sound familiar? Entrepreneur and CEO Jeff Finney can certainly empathize with your struggle. He wrote his upcoming book That's It, I'm Fired in order to aid hands-on business owners in perfecting their business operations so that they can take a step back and finally enjoy their personal lives. Jeff Finney is the owner and CEO of Ultimate Cabinets and The Push Thru, LLC, with over 15 years in the woodworking manufacturing business.  I’ll have links to these and a link to his podcast called “The Push Thru”.

  4. “Faster Safer Wealthier" by Dr. Gregory Bott

    “Faster Safer Wealthier" by Dr. Gregory Bott

    Episode 180 of the Business Bookshelf podcast - Dr. Gregory Bott - author of “Faster Safer Wealthier"  Dr. Gregory Bott is an entrepreneur, investor, and university instructor. At the age of 24, he quit his full-time corporate employment in pursuit of both higher education and entrepreneurship. Since then, he has owned and operated numerous businesses across multiple industries, including hospitality, real estate, and agriculture. His businesses have ranged from franchised to independent, from start-ups to acquisitions, from heavily staffed to one-person operations, from leveraged to debt-free, and from sole ownership to numerous shareholders. Gregory is the author of “Faster Safer Wealthier: Skip the Start-up and Buy a Stable Business to Build Intergenerational Wealth”.   High-risk entrepreneurship is a tough route to a rich life and financial freedom. Start-up stress, like relying on a once-in-a-lifetime innovation or setting out on a one-track objective of billionaire status, results in detours and setbacks rather than the financial rewards you desire. Not all businesses are high-risk endeavours though. Substantial, lasting wealth can be built in the space between broke and billionaire—when you reframe your idea of business ownership. Skip the risky start-up and walk straight into an already cash-flowing company to create and retain wealth! Dr. Gregory Bott’s structured framework for small business acquisition will mitigate risk, accelerate wealth accumulation, and elevate your business for profitable growth. With this step-by-step guide for both new and seasoned entrepreneurs, you can start on a steady path of incremental gains as a rightful business owner—for safer financial success that lasts generations.

    “Impact Networks" by David Ehrlichman

    Episode 179 of the Business Bookshelf podcast - David Ehrlichman - author of “Impact Networks" David is cofounder and coordinator of Converge a network of systems strategists, designers, facilitators, educators, and evaluators who partner with people, organizations, and networks to navigate complexity and co-create meaningful change. David is the author of “Impact Networks: Creating Connection, Sparking Collaboration, and Catalyzing Systemic Change”.   The social and environmental challenges we face today are not only complex, they are also systemic and structural and have no obvious solutions. They require diverse combinations of people, organizations, and sectors to coordinate actions and work together even when the way forward is unclear. Even so, collaborative efforts often fail because they attempt to navigate complexity with traditional strategic plans, created by hierarchies that ignore the way people naturally connect. By embracing a living-systems approach to organizing, impact networks bring people together to build relationships across boundaries; leverage the existing work, skills, and motivations of the group; and make progress amid unpredictable and ever-changing conditions. As a powerful and flexible organizing system that can span regions, organizations, and silos of all kinds, impact networks underlie some of the most impressive and large-scale efforts to create change across the globe David's company is Converge found here - www.converge.net.
