Whether you are a student, entrepreneur, philanthropist, executive or simply someone looking for ways to maximise your potential, the same lessons apply. People know who Stephen Schwarzman is he's the man who took $400,000 and co-founded Blackstone, the investment firm that manages over $500 billion (as of January 2019). He's the CEO whose views are sought by heads of state. He's the billionaire philanthropist who founded Schwarzman Scholars, this century's version of the Rhodes Scholarship, in China. But behind these achievements is a man who has spent his life learning and reflecting on what it takes to achieve excellence, make an impact, and live a life of consequence. Folding handkerchiefs in his father's linen shop, Schwarzman dreamed of a larger life, filled with purpose and adventure. After starting his career in finance at a financial firm called DLJ, Schwarzman began working at Lehman Brothers where he ascended to run the mergers and acquisitions practice. He eventually partnered with his mentor and friend Pete Peterson to found Blackstone, where Schwarzman's simple mantra don't lose money has helped Blackstone become a leading private equity and real estate investor, and manager of alternative assets for institutional investors globally. Schwarzman is also an active philanthropist, having given away more than a billion dollars. His gifts have ranged from creating a new College of Computing at MIT for the study of artificial intelligence, to establishing a first-of-its-kind student and performing arts centre at Yale, to founding the Schwarzman Scholars fellowship programme at Tsinghua University in Beijing the single largest philanthropic effort in China's history from international donors. From deal-making to investing, leadership to entrepreneurship, philanthropy to diplomacy, Schwarzman has lessons for how to think about ambition and scale, risk and opportunities, and how to achieve success through the relentless pursuit of excellence.

WHAT IF LIFE WASNT ABOUT DECADES OF WAGE-SLAVERY, PAYING BILLS, AND THEN DYING?Today's contemporary slavery is an implied social contract whereas a gilded cage is exchanged for voluntary indebtedness and lifelong toil, a price sacrificed by a non-redeemable fifty-years of Monday through Friday, a willful servitude in which freedom is only promised by the dawn of lifes fading twilight.' ~ MJ DeMarco HAS AN INVISIBLE SCRIPT HIJACKED YOUR LIFE?UNLOCK YOUR TRUTH.

Bogen præsenterer læseren bredt for fænomenet entreprenørskab. Den sætter fokus på muligheders tilblivelse, evaluering og organisering. Muligheder som kan resultere i nye og selvstændige organisationer eller kan lede til nye projekter og forretningsområder inden for eksisterende virksomheder og i andre organisatoriske kontekster.Teorier om entreprenørskab er fyldt med spændinger og dilemmaer. De præsenteres i bogen som en samling af paradokser. Dette udfordrer forståelsen af entreprenørskab og giver læseren indblik i teoriernes spændingsfyldte natur. Samtidig afspejler paradokserne den usikkerhed og kompleksitet, entreprenører møder i deres hverdag. Læseren udfordres via bogen til at være kritisk og tage stilling til mange af de ofte gådefulde og dilemmafyldte situationer, entreprenører kommer i på deres vej.Hvert kapitel indledes med en konkret entreprenøriel fortælling, som giver appetit på kapitlets emne og det paradoks, der behandles i kapitlet. Læseren møder “virkelighedens entreprenører” på en meget konkret måde. Først herefter inddrages teorier og begreber om entreprenørskab. Hvert kapitel afsluttes med en dobbelt fortolkning af fortællingen, som afspejler paradoksets to sider. Undervejs i kapitlerne stilles en række opgaver, hvor den studerende skal afprøve teori og forholde sig til konkrete problemstillinger, og nogle af disse opgaver løses ved hjælp af e-værktøjer.Bogen har en introducerende karakter. Den kræver ingen specielle forkundskaber, kan bruges af alle studieretninger ved de videregående uddannelser og henvender sig bredt til alle studerende: både dem, der har et ønske om at starte egen virksomhed – eller allerede driver egen virksomhed i studietiden, og dem, som mere generelt ønsker at udvikle en entreprenøriel tankegang og relevante entreprenørielle kompetencer til brug i deres fremtidige karriere.

The Law of Market Failure: Most new products will fail in the market, even if competently executed.Using his experience at Google, his remarkable success as an entrepreneur and consultant, and insights from his lectures at Stanford University and Google, Alberto Savoia's The Right It offers an unparalleled approach to beating the beast that is market failure.Millions of people around the world are working hard to bring to life new ideas. Some of these ideas will turn out to be stunning successes that will have a major impact on our world and our culture: The next Google, the next Polio vaccine, the next Harry Potter, the next Red Cross, the next Ford Mustang. Others will be smaller, more personal but no less meaningful, successes: A little restaurant that becomes a neighborhood favorite, a biography that does not make the best-seller list but tells an important story, a local nonprofit to care for abandoned pets. At this very same moment, another group of people is working equally hard to develop new ideas that, when launched, will fail. Some of them will fail spectacularly and publicly: like New Coke, the movie ?John Carter?, or the Ford Edsel. Others will be smaller, more private, but no less painful failures: A home-based business that never takes off, a children's book that neither publishers nor children have any interest in, a charity for a cause that too few people care enough about. If you are currently working to develop a new idea, whether on your own or as part of a team, which group are you in? Most people believe that they either are, or will be, in the first group?the group whose ideas will be successful. All they have to do is work hard and execute well. Unfortunately, we know that this cannot be the case. The law of market failure tells us that up to 90 percent of most new products, services, businesses, and initiatives will fail soon after they are launched?regardless of how promising they sound, how much we commit to them, or how well we execute them. This is a hard fact to accept. We believe that other people fail because they don't know what they are doing. Somehow, we believe that this does not apply to us and to our idea?especially if we've experienced victories in the past.Filled with detailed case studies, a lesson on creating your own hard data, a strategy for market engagement, and an introduction to the concept of a pretotype (not a prototype), The Right It is a groundbreaking, entertaining, and highly practical book delivers a proven formula for turning ideas, products, services, and businesses into successful endeavors. As Alberto writes, ?make sure you are building The Right It before you build It right?.
