Struggling to be an entrepreneur? Forget what you know. Success is not about how to win . . . It's about how to lose. With thousands of books and courses on entrepreneurship, why aren't there more successful entrepreneurs? The answer is simple-we have been teaching it all wrong. In Winners and Losers, award-winning speaker Don Schmincke uses research from his many anthropological expeditions across the world, scientific data, and his experience training over thirty thousand CEOs to uncover the truth. Instead of looking at what successful entrepreneurs did right, Schmincke looks at what happened before their successes. What he found was that their paths were littered with mistakes, misguided assumptions, and major losses. Could the key to their successful entrepreneurship actually lie in their failures? Unlike entrepreneurship books that focus on how to win, Schmincke deviates from the status quo and reveals that the real secret is in how to lose-powerfully. True success arises from the inevitable losses that come with risky ventures. With a straightforward, humorous, and often politically incorrect approach, Winners and Losers offers anyone with entrepreneurial dreams unique management methods and scientific models to help build a framework for success. Moments of despair birth real entrepreneurship. It's time to embrace the loss.

Die Arbeit untersucht Mitarbeiterbeteiligungen in Start-ups als typische Zielgesellschaften von Finanzierungen mit Venture Capital. Der Autor greift die zunehmende Kritik aus der Praxis auf, wonach gesellschafts- und steuerrechtliche Vorgaben deutsche Start-ups bisweilen an der Einführung von Mitarbeiterbeteiligungen im Unternehmen hindern. Er arbeitet die Schwachstellen des regulatorischen Rahmens heraus, wobei er insbesondere die Änderungen durch das Fondsstandortgesetz in den Blick nimmt. Darauf aufbauend entwickelt er eigene, innovative Reformvorschläge mit dem Ziel, Mitarbeiterbeteiligungen für Start-ups attraktiver zu machen. Daneben setzt sich der Autor aber auch kritisch mit neuen Vertragsklauseln aus der jüngeren Beteiligungspraxis auseinander.

This book serves as a valuable resource for Islamic entrepreneurship researchers, Halal scholars, Islamic finance professionals, Halal advocates, and Halal business model consultants in the fast-changing global economy. The thematic focus is not only on Islamic and halal entrepreneurship but also on halal production and consumption, ethics and impact investing in Islamic entrepreneurship, Shariah principles guiding business model innovation and utilisation of disruptive technologies (such as crowdfunding for startups, bitcoin, digital ventures, cryptocurrency, blockchain, among others), Islamic entrepreneurship and SDGs, halalisation and sustainability issues, and emergence of Islamic-Fintech in Muslim majority nations and nations with plural economic systems, including the interface of Islamic and halal entrepreneurship with science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). At the moment, the working knowledge about Islamic and halal entrepreneurship is at its infancy among Islamic finance professionals, halal consultants, academic researchers, and students nursing the ambition of going into these two fields. Universities, Islamic training academies, and centres are also ill equipped to enrich Islamic and halal curricula with principles and conventional models. One of the proactive ways of breaking financial exclusion, social inequality, and social exclusion caused by apathy and avoidance of Riba, Maysir, and Gharar is by recognising, embracing, and promoting Islamic and halal entrepreneurship among the excluded Muslims and lovers of ethical business models. Overall, this book aims to promote better understanding of Islamic and Halal entrepreneurship in order to assist academics, researchers, practitioners, consultants, and policymakers to improve the growth of Islamic startups and small and medium enterprises (SMEs) by improving social inclusion and financial inclusion and accelerating the attainment of SDG 8 and SDG12.

Hundreds of years from now, anthropologists will puzzle: twenty-first century humans lived in some of the wealthiest societies in history, yet only a minority of us, around a third, reported being happy. Why? One big problem is that so many of us feel trapped, playing a part rather than being our true selves; pursuing an expected path to success, which is supposed to bring happiness but that doesn't actually excite us or nurture our souls.  Is this you? Perhaps you feel out of your natural element much of the time, undervalued, or left behind. Maybe you long to break free and stop following the herd.  Let's face it, though. We live in a white-sheep world, and that's where Peter Sims initially found himself, working inside the capital markets of London. As "just another suit chasing the next sip of sugar water" in the hamster wheel of life, Sims and his colleagues wondered if there's a better life on the other side? Turns out, the black sheep were everywhere, doing things differently-starting with living life.  If the thought of freeing your inner child exhilarates you, we invite you to crack open this book. If you yearn to dance to your own music, read on. If the idea of black sheep reinventing the world from the ground up excites you, join Peter as he shares his deeply personal journey and the development of the Black Sheep movement

It reveals the hard truths and sometimes uncomfortable realities that we all know exist but struggle to articulate.For decades, business and HR leaders have struggled to navigate the complexities of managing people and teams within startups and scaling companies, instead relying on the broad rhetoric of management theory to tackle these challenges or leaning on their networks of leaders who have encountered these challenges before.

It¿s a distinct field in HR that relentlessly focuses on engagement, culture, automation and putting people at the heart of all business operations.
