If you''re like the average business person, you want to be less stressed and more productive in your work. And you need help! Creating Your Business Vision provides a simple, step-by-step guide to bring about dramatic improvements in your work, your team, and your organization. Whether you''re an author, coach, consultant, corporate executive, creative, doctor, entrepreneur, nonprofit leader, lawyer, pastor, or professor, developing a vision for your work will finally give you the clarity and focus you''ve been looking for and give you the freedom to do what only you can do. Most organizations have a vision statement somewhere in a file or on a conference room wall. Yet, unfortunately, these vision statements seldom serve as an energizing guide toward exponential growth and remarkable success for the organization. A vision is energizing. It''s enlivening. Vision is the guiding motivation for all great human efforts. My problem was not vision - I didn''t understand how to get focused and stay focused on the vision. I was not communicating vision effectively. To address these challenges, I developed a tool to help me think through and write out my vision. My experience a business vision was transformational. Realizing the importance and potential of the business vision tool for leaders in diverse markets, I compiled my experiences and the process into this simple, step-by-step guide. In reality, Creating Your Business Vision is less a book and more a career planning experience. I intentionally made it short so you could read it in one sitting. In the book, I will coach you through: 1. The story of a struggling leader and how to find clarity on what matters most in your work. 2. The basics of vision and how to create a career, position, team, or organizational vision. 3. A four-step process for identifying where you are NOW, and how to get from there to where you want to be. 4. A step-by-step process for leading your team through vision development 5. Planning templates, Word documents, and PDF documents that will make it easier for you to create your plan and keep it up-to-date. You can do it! I now have greater clarity and purpose in my work than ever before. And I''m able to create very specific plans to move toward the enormous goals of my vision - daily, weekly, quarterly. Creating my business vision the best business decision I''ve ever made. And it will be for you too! Praise for Creating Your Business Vision: "All my life I have worked for others and their vision statements. Michael''s book helped me understand how important it is to have my own vision statement." - Eloise Williams "Michael''s writing is vivid and simple to follow." - Steve Banhegyi "Very informative and insightful!" - Haven Hawk, Executive Coach "Creating Your Business Vision helped me to improve my team. It was a great help!" - Gracie Caasi

The third volume of the Solo Acoustic Musician series does a deep dive into the business side of booking a gig by interviewing managers, owners, and agents who are in charge of hiring Solo Acoustic Musicians.

David and Jamaal arrived at the Atlanta Boys Center for Disturbed Youth under similar, yet unfortunate circumstances. They were doomed to spend the rest of their adolescence miserable in prison until one of the counselors took it upon himself to introduce the sport of boxing to the young men at ABC. David grew to love the sport and flourished, while Jamaal learned to love the Lord. Each one followed a different path into manhood. Their experiences were sometimes heartfelt and sometimes comical. Sometimes it is not an easy transition going from jail back to the streets. Discover how David and Jamaal persevered as they grew into men and fought the spiritual forces in the heavenly realms while Beating the Air.

Counting efficiencies were determined by empirical measurement and Monte Carlo simulation for carbon-14, strontium-89, strontium-90, and yttrium-90 standards counted by low-background gas flow proportional counter for strontium carbonate precipitates in the range from 3 to 33 mg cm−2. The maximum beta particle energies range from 0.156 MeV for carbon-14 to 2.28 MeV for yttrium-90. The parameters for estimating the counting efficiency are summarized for sources with areal thickness of 14 mg cm−2 and over the range in strontium carbonate areal thickness from 0.1 mg cm−2 to 33 mg cm−2. Uncertainty budgets providing estimates of the uncertainty, sources of variability in the calibration process, and the total expanded uncertainty are presented. Information is presented for the Monte Carlo simulation regarding the composition of the detector window, the energy excluded by the amplifier discriminator of the counting system, and the physical density of materials for this analytical process. The histogram normalization routine implemented within MCNP is described and found to bias the probability distribution for beta-particle energy spectra. The difference in the specification of the probability distribution for beta-particle energy spectra in ICRU 56 Appendix D and MCNP requirements are described and a correction for the bias introduced during the normalization process for beta spectra is provided. Counting efficiencies determined by empirical measurement and Monte Carlo simulations agree within the total expanded uncertainties of the measurements and the uncertainties of the Monte Carlo simulations.

This is an epic story that focuses on one character to the end of her adventure. It''s difficult to write a proper description that doesn''t take away from the twists of the plot or the surprises along the way. There are also many hints and preludes to the other three books. Enjoy the world I created-An orphaned girl lives on a monastery and helps to grow the crops of the surrounding fields. Her race is native to the continent, and they''re able to project, which is an extension of their self and allows them to influence nature and the elements. After learning new skills and beginning to ask questions, she decides to set out on her only adventure. She knows little about the world and learns many things the hard way.

Une série de reportages se présentant comme autant d''invitations à arpenter l''univers de différentes espèces de la faune mondiale, que l''on découvre de manière privilégiée à travers la lentille d''un photographe du réputé ##National Geographic##. Chacun des titres cède ainsi la parole à un reporter qui relate, sur un ton familier et en multipliant les adresses directes au lecteur, sa rencontre avec l''animal en vedette et les observations effectuées sur le terrain. Si ces dernières lèvent le voile sur l''univers, les moeurs, l''anatomie et la vie de famille du bestiaire, une attention toute particulière est portée à la relation de ce dernier avec les hommes et aux dangers qui le menacent. Une rubrique "Comment aider" clôt d''ailleurs chacun des opus, à laquelle se greffent une sélection d''ouvrages, de DVD et de sites Internet pour poursuivre l''exploration, de même que des cartes de localisation et une présentation commentée des traditionnels habitat, régime alimentaire, espérance de vie, comportement, reproduction, etc. [SDM].
