Zero to One By Peter Thiel

BigIdeasGrowingMinds

I have always been fascinated by entrepreneurs. Brave men or women who believe so much in their ideas that they are willing to put it all on the line to pursue them! People who aren’t afraid of hard work, long hours, and uncertainty.

This week I read ‘Zero to One’ by Peter Thiel. The book has the subtitle ‘How to build the future’ and is, in its essence, a roadmap for entrepreneurs and start-ups.

The book’s essential purpose is to rewire how we think about innovation. See, according to Thiel, most modern companies aren’t innovating at all but simply making incremental improvements to already existing concepts or products – or in the words of Thiel: ‘they move from ‘1 to N’.  But according to him, innovation’s true meaning – and value – is creating and doing something totally new – aka moving from ‘Zero to 1.’

We hope you will enjoy our animated summary of the book; you can watch it here:

‘Winning’ By Jack Welch Part Two. Animated Summary

BigIdeasGrowingMinds

More than a decade ago, I joined the HR department at a large Danish Headquarters. Being only two years into my career, I still had lots to learn about corporate life, so as part of my onboarding, I was given a copy of ‘Winning’ By Jack Welch. I read it with enthusiasm, but honestly, I am not sure I completely understood all its powerful messages at the time.

This week I re-read the book and – now older and wiser – I find myself in a better place to reflect on its insights, and I have to say that I still find them quite inspiring and up to date, even if many years has gone by since Mr. Welch wrote the book. 

Jack Welch was CEO and Chairman of General Electric from 1981 to 2001. During his tenure, the company became one of the world’s most valuable corporations. In ‘Winning,’ Welch shares the hard-earned wisdom of a storied career and delivers advice on dealing with the strategic, organizational, and personal challenges people face at every stage of their careers. The book is divided into four parts:

  1. Underneath it all
  2. Your company
  3. Your competition
  4. Your career

This is our second video on Winning. If you have not yet seen the first video where we focus on chapter one, ‘Underneath it all’, we recommend that you check it out before proceeding. 

In this video, we will summarize the three remaining parts of the book, namely:

  • Your company – Six crucial principles that will support you as you run your company.
  • Your competition – How to win against the world outside your organization,
  • And Your career – Which is all about you and your personal path to success!

Good to Great by Jim Collins

BigIdeasGrowingMinds

Every week I choose a new Big Idea to feature on my YouTube channel. Sometimes I stumble over lesser-known ideas and feel excitement over helping the authors spread the word, and some weeks I simply go with the classics. These are the books that has endured the test of time and become ‘evergreens’! Books like Good to Great by Jim Collins which just so happens to be the Big Idea featured on the channel this week.

In the book, Collins reveals his important findings on why some companies reach staggering heights of success, whilst others in similar situations floundered or failed to make a lasting impression.

In this video, we will walk you through 5 Big Ideas from the book. They are as follows:

#1 Great Leadership is required

#2 Build the right team

#3 Confront reality head-on

#4 The hedgehog concept.

#5 Once you gain momentum – keep going!

In a nutshell, Good to Great underpins that a successful company is built by having Humble and dedicated leaders, the right people in the right positions, and by relentlessly pursuing success.

Profit Wise By Jeff Morrill

BigIdeasGrowingMinds

Today’s big idea comes from Jeff Morrill and his short but impactful book ‘Profit Wise’.

I love reading book about entrepreneurship. Learning how businesses are build and grown, listening to stories of ups and downs and getting inspired by the passion and heartfelt desire that lies behind every successful start-up.

This week I read a short but impactful book called Profit Wise. It is written by @JeffMorrill and holds all of the above and more.

Jeff Morrill started his first business, a car dealership, in 1998 at the age of 26 and through hard work and determination, he grew the company into one of the most successful privately-owned automotive dealerships in the United States. So, he knows from experience what it takes to run a successful business! In the book, he shares with us his secrets to building highly profitable businesses by focusing on doing the right thing every time.

‘Profit Wise’ has 10 Chapters, each conveying sound advice on how to run and grow a more profitable business by doing the right thing. In this video, we will provide you with our bouillon cube version of each chapter. Just for the sake of good order they are as follows:

  1. Take the High Road
  2. Defining Reality
  3. Recruitment
  4. Leadership
  5. Marketing
  6. Customer Service
  7. Negotiation
  8. Decisions and Problems
  9. Time
  10. Long Term Success

We hope you will enjoy the video that it will inspire you, help you Grow your Mind, and Motivate You to be The Best You!!
