The Untold Story of the Entrepreneur's Wife guides entrepreneurial couples to permanently exit the "norm" and thrive in their new entrepreneurial lifestyle.When people talk about entrepreneurs, they always talk about the entrepreneur's journey and their climb to the top with all of the pits and peaks that create their hero's journey. But they rarely speak about the entrepreneur's family and their efforts and struggles on the road to success. There is a false belief that says being with an entrepreneur is highly desirable and that being the wife of a business owner is glamorous and exciting. Sure, it has its perks. But the truth is, entrepreneurs' wives are sometimes forced into a life of singularity and loneliness, and they are in need of a roadmap to navigate the unique hurdles that come along with that life. In The Untold Story of the Entrepreneur's Wife, coach Amy Stefanik shows her perspective that being an entrepreneur's wife is not all doom and gloom to entrepreneurial couples. Entrepreneurial families learn how to harness the Unmistakable Entrepreneur Mindset to lay the "Fort Knox" Entrepreneurial Family Foundation and build an Unshakable Entrepreneurial Marriage. The most valuable lessons are not discovered on the highest mountain peaks, in the good and easy times, but in the valleys. Amy shares her tools with entrepreneurial families for when they find themselves in the valley and helps them transform "married to the business" to "the secret weapon" to becoming an unstoppable entrepreneurial power couple!

Is it more important to know where you're going, or understand where you've been? Sometimes when we look at politics, or just at the way the world is being run, we have to just shake our collective heads, because things seem entirely senseless. Events seem illogical, skewed, and destined to keep the world mired in chaos. The widening gap between social classes, the influence of the elites upon world policy, countries that commit grievous human rights violations yet still receive aid from wealthier nations, none of this makes sense in a world where the majority of people are fairly rational and kind. Well, what if that was by design? What if there were an agency devoted to ensuring the disparity and conflict continued? What if that agency was secretly funded by our own government? And what if that agency was wrapped up with other realms, like eugenics, psychic phenomena, religious extremism and sociological controls? And finally, if you knew what was going on and could change it, but at the expense of your own life, would you? Bob-0 and Maury are psychics, chained since birth to the Crown, an agency that works to erode human rights and further empower those already in the upper echelons. Maury is possibly the only person who sees the true purpose of their endeavors but lacks the ability to openly oppose his masters. His friend, Bob-0, believes he is also trapped. He suffers life-stalling migraines and thinks that only the researchers at the Crown can find a remedy. Then there's Erin. Since she was a young girl she's had the ability to read minds, but has sought to suppress it and try to live in a world where such things aren't acceptable. After her ability fractures every relationship in her life she starts to wonder if there's any way she can make peace with the truth of what she truly is. She learns of the Crown and is drawn in, but doesn't suspect the true motives of the Machiavellian establishment she's lured into. How long before the veneer slips, and will she be able to get away when that time comes? Bob-0 is part denouncement of politics, part conspiracy theory and, deep within its core, the story of one man trying to understand the value of truth in a world which would prefer to remain oblivious.

My wife and I have been selling an assortment of merchandise at street fairs, A&C (Arts & Crafts) Shows, festivals, and county fairs for over eighteen years. We made yearly trips out of state to Tyson Wells, AZ (July) and various locations in Oregon (July) to sell for extended periods of time in January and July. We participated in many street fairs in the Bay Area and other Northern California locations along with the lovely Central Coast Area throughout the year, visiting and doing street fairs in such communities as Arroyo Grande, Grover Beach, Morro Bay, Los Osos and Cambria, just to name a handful... Last year, I had to withstand winds in excess of seventy miles per hour as both my canopies toppled over in Arizona sending everything crashing to the ground into the mud and water. Imagine watching at least 60 other canopies being lifted into the air while others crumbled merciless to the ground. Canopies that didn't go flying went lying. There were canopies and merchandise that flew away, some never to be seen again. People lost many thousand dollars of their products. See what it's like taking a motor home to Oregon to sell at County Fairs and other events. Our trips north were a lot of fun but getting two flat tires on our motor home once was just not too enjoyable. How about having your vehicle disabled right in the middle of an event hundreds of miles from home? Now you can "meet" many of the 'characters' that we encountered over the years. Read about Moonwalk Marvin, Bossin' Bryan, The Super Heinz Lady, The Walking Billboards of Morro Bay, Hot Flash Henrietta and so many more. I've written about many of our experiences in restaurants and motels, good and bad. Here's one what went on in one Northern California motel: "This definitely is not a 5-star motel. There were noisy neighbors. There were kids racing up and down the hallway. I had to listen to a loud TV next door throughout the night and into the morning. I heard a car outside playing loud music for half an hour near mid-night. People were constantly standing in front of the entrance smoking cigarettes. There were more kids congregating in front of the building swearing at one another. I heard the water being turned on and off 2-3 doors down. Surprisingly, I haven't heard the elephants stomping on the floor above yet, but I sure as heck heard the horses go galloping past my room outside in the hallway. There are some dogs in the rooms." Here is a short description of one of our Northern California festival locations: "A lot of the people in general, tended to be one's escaping the harsh realities of life and living in a world of their own. A lot of them looked and acted spaced-out. I noticed quite an assortment of characters that seem to have exiled themselves from society in the Bay Area. Perhaps many of them found their way over there from the Mendocino Marijuana Fields. They seem to be 'the people that time forgot." How about having to deal with a day and a half of constant rain in Chandler (AZ) where we had two feet of water in a gulley where our booth and other vendors were located. Can you imagine not being able to bring your vehicle in to load up your goods? Find out how we made it out of there. There were a number of vans and trucks that had major problems trying to make it out of the muddy parking lot... See how an anticipated beautiful weekend in South Lake Tahoe in May can turn into a total disaster with snow, cold, freezing rain, wind and illness. I could not believe the extremes in temperatures we had to endure during the months of May and June. One week we encountered 108 degree temperatures in Oakdale, 40 degree temperatures in Lake Tahoe and then back up to 100 in Patterson, I am very down to earth in my descriptions of the events and I am known to all as a 'straight shooter, ' one who holds no punches and I tell it like it is, for better or for worse.

Diplomarbeit aus dem Jahr 1999 im Fachbereich BWL - Sonstiges, Note: 2,0, Hochschule fur offentliche Verwaltung Kehl (Unbekannt), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Inhaltsangabe: Zusammenfassung: Das Ziel dieser Diplomarbeit ist es, die Funktionsweise von Zielvereinbarungen (ZV) im Zusammenspiel mit den anderen Elementen des Neuen Steuerungsmodells (NSM) darzustellen. Dabei liegt der Schwerpunkt auf der theoretischen Darstellung von ZV. Das Praxisbeispiel Calw soll die Vor- und Nachteile sowie die Schwierigkeiten bei der Einfuhrung von ZV verdeutlichen. Ausserdem werden eigene Vorschlage zur Umsetzung im Landratsamt Calw entwickelt. Auf eine Darstellung des NSM zugunsten einer noch intensiveren Darstellung von ZV konnte aufgrund des engen Zusammenhanges nicht verzichtet werden. Worin liegt der Charme von ZV? Im Kern handelt es sich bei ZV um eine positive Art der Mitarbeiterfuhrung. Absprachen statt Einzeleingriff sowie bessere Information und Kommunikation zwischen Vorgesetzten und Mitarbeitern stehen im Vordergrund. Im Ergebnis werden alle Mitarbeiter zufriedener sein, wenn sie mit Eigenverantwortung und Ergebnisruckmeldung arbeiten konnen, auch wenn sich das noch nicht jeder vorstellen kann. Der Mitarbeiter als mundiger Burger wird auch im Beruf "erwachsen," und der Vorgesetzte wird dadurch mittel- und langfristig entlastet. ZV bieten den Mitarbeitern Beteiligungsmoglichkeiten. Aus Sicht der Behordenspitze wird dadurch das grosse Potential der wertvollsten Ressource der Verwaltung, namlich die Beschaftigten, erst richtig genutzt. Fur die Mitarbeiter bedeuten ZV die Chance fur eine bewusste Selbstverwirklichung neben der Freizeit auch an ihrem Arbeitsplatz und somit die Moglichkeit, den anderen Grossteil ihrer Lebenszeit aktiv und eigenverantwortlich gestalten zu konnen. "Das Instrument ZV ist nicht erfolgreich. Die Mitarbeiter und die Fuhrungskrafte konnen jedoch erfolgreich sein, indem sie ZV anwenden " Um dazu in der Lage zu sein, ist eine Schulung der Beteiligten in
