How to Think Like an Entrepreneur, Act Like a CEO
As I read more business books and meet more authors, I find it interesting that many have started out writing blogs or newsletter articles which, over time, gained steam and led to eventual published works. Author Beverly Jones successfully leveraged her career-advice-filled blog and newsletter, turning it into a great book called Think Like an Entrepreneur, Act Like a CEO. It includes 50 tips on how to stay afloat, bounce back and get ahead at work.
I spoke with Jones about the inspiration for her book, and she told me that she has always had an interest in how some people are able to adapt to workplace changes and career setbacks better than others. She wondered how some people always land on their feet and appear to be incredibly resilient. During her legal, business and coaching career, she has learned that the same characteristics that enable people to start and run successful businesses are also common in resilient professionals who are adept at making changes and adapting. In her opinion, many successful executives are thinking like entrepreneurs.
