Norman Vincent Peale’s The Power of Positive Thinking, a classic bestseller, has inspired an optimistic perspective for millions of Americans. Now, in an inspirational and entertaining rebuttal, the legendary basketball coach Bob Knight explains why “negative thinking” will actually produce more positive results, in sports and in daily life. Coach Knight, the second-winningest coach in NCAA history with 902 victories, explains that victory is often attained by the team that makes the fewest mistakes. His coaching philosophy was to instill discipline by “preparing to win” rather than hoping to win. That meant understanding the downside and drilling his teams to prevent the things that could go wrong. And when his teams did win, he made sure they didn’t dwell on their success, but rather looked immediately to the challenges of the next game. He applies this lesson to business strategy as well.Coach Knight has long been inspired by his grandmother’s words, "If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.” As the first person to teach Knight about the power of negative thinking, this book is dedicated to her pragmatic spirit.

What surprising insights helped the Mayo Clinic better serve both doctors and patients?The solution in each case was a focus on customer experience, the most powerful—and misunderstood—element of corporate strategy today.Customer experience is, quite simply, how your customers perceive their every interaction with your company. It’s a fundamental business driver. Here’s proof: over a recent five-year period during which the S&P 500 was flat, a stock portfolio of customer experience leaders grew twenty-two percent.In an age when customers have access to vast amounts of data about your company and its competitors, customer experience is the only sustainable source of competitive advantage. But how to excel at it?Based on fourteen years of research by the customer experience leaders at Forrester Research, Outside In offers a complete roadmap to attaining the experience advantage. It starts with the concept of the Customer Experience Ecosystem—proof that the roots of customer experience problems lie not just with customer-facing employees like your sales staff, but with behind-the-scenes employees like accountants, lawyers, and programmers, as well as the policies, processes, and technologies that all your employees use every day. Identifying and solving these problems has the potential to dramatically increase sales and decrease costs.

If you want to start your own restaurant business, then this book is for you!Read on your PC, Mac, smart phone, tablet, or Kindle device.Starting a business is always tough - especially in the food industry, and particularly for restaurant businesses. Among other things, you'll have to please a discerning clientele (who will post reviews online before they could finish their meals), deal with fresh produce and other perishables (that have shelf-lives always too short), and keep in line a likely-diverse kitchen staff (whose attitudes tend to clash). Another proof that the restaurant business is tough: around half of all restaurant ventures fold-up in losses. This is, of course, due to varying reasons - although the complications that restaurant owners face are more or less the same. So is starting a restaurant even a viable prospect these days? Or are restaurant start-ups doomed to fail? The answer: Restaurant businesses are not all doomed to fail, and starting one can be a worthwhile endeavor. After all, every man and woman alive still need to eat. This means there will always be potential clientele that your restaurant can feed and profit from.The important question then is, how can you successfully start a restaurant and produce a steady (and healthy) profit? That's exactly what this book will show you how to do. I'm going to guide you through all the preparation and steps you need to take to launch a restaurant business and get positive returns within the year. I'll walk you through the essentials of starting a business including how to get funding, how to hire the right people, how to develop a menu, as well as what traps to avoid to make sure your restaurant remains successful.
