Download or read book Build written by Tony Fadell and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2022-05-03 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: **New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USAToday Bestseller** Tony Fadell led the teams that created the iPod, iPhone and Nest Learning Thermostat and learned enough in 30+ years in Silicon Valley about leadership, design, startups, Apple, Google, decision-making, mentorship, devastating failure and unbelievable success to fill an encyclopedia. So that’s what this book is. An advice encyclopedia. A mentor in a box. Written for anyone who wants to grow at work—from young grads navigating their first jobs to CEOs deciding whether to sell their company—Build is full of personal stories, practical advice and fascinating insights into some of the most impactful products and people of the 20th century. Each quick 5-20 page entry builds on the previous one, charting Tony’s personal journey from a product designer to a leader, from a startup founder to an executive to a mentor. Tony uses examples that are instantly captivating, like the process of building the very first iPod and iPhone. Every chapter is designed to help readers with a problem they’re facing right now—how to get funding for their startup, whether to quit their job or not, or just how to deal with the jerk in the next cubicle. Tony forged his path to success alongside mentors like Steve Jobs and Bill Campbell, icons of Silicon Valley who succeeded time and time again. But Tony doesn’t follow the Silicon Valley credo that you have to reinvent everything from scratch to make something great. His advice is unorthodox because it’s old school. Because Tony’s learned that human nature doesn’t change. You don’t have to reinvent how you lead and manage—just what you make. And Tony’s ready to help everyone make things worth making.

Download or read book The B.U.I.L.D. Project written by Bernard Ruffin and published by Bernard Ruffin. This book was released on 2021-08 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: They say that a good book can change your life. That’s the mindset Bernard Ruffin took hold of when putting together The B.U.I.L.D. Project. So often people find themselves stranded and astray from the lives they hoped for or feel like they deserve, and once you’re lost to the world, it’s hard to find your way back to the position you want to be in. No one should face up against the hardships of the world alone, and you don’t have to. The B.U.I.L.D. Project is about providing you with a life plan template that will result in an overall positive change to your experience. Yes, the roots are based in Christianity, but this book is about so much more. Through the pages of The B.U.I.L.D. Project, you will learn the importance of family and personal health, while also tackling business and your financial life. Prayer is a necessary part of many of our lives, but with this piece of work, Bernard Ruffin and PRAYpare take a look at why it’s important to prepare and pray, not one or the other. The B.U.I.L.D Project is itself built upon 5 key bricks: B: Begin with Family. Making a positive change starts at home, and if we can’t even reconcile with those to whom we are bonded by blood then how can we ever expect to actualize our own goals and desires? U: Understand your Ministry. This is where we get in touch with our lord and savior and unpack our own relationship with him and the house in which he presides. It’s vital that we have a comprehensive understanding of how the church impacts our lives, and equally important to know how to balance it with every other moving part of being a human. I: Implement Better Health. Healthy body, healthy mind, healthy soul. These are three core building blocks for a happier, more fulfilling life, and unsurprisingly, they all inform one another. Ensuring that we feel our best physically, mentally, and spiritually is key to achieving real progress. L: Lead in Business. This is where you get down to brass tax to begin implementing the teachings in this text. With empathy and knowledge of self, you will be more capable than ever to tackle the dog-eat-dog world of business and finance. D: Develop a Better Financial Life. Life does not begin and end with money, but without it, there’s not much good we can do for the kingdom. Taking everything you’ve learned from the project so far and using it to secure a more stable future is the best way to set yourself up for success personally and as a contributor to others.
