Bob Hasson and Shawn Bolz have come together to help infuse you with hope, truth, and perspective about your God-given role in the marketplace. Whether you own or manage a business, have spent decades in your career, or are simply trying to find value in the work that you do, this book is for you. As you walk this journey with us, you'll have an opportunity to build spiritually driven goals for both your own career as well as the industry you are called to. Throughout the book, we explore real-life examples of what it looks like to hear God and follow His leading within marketplace roles. We also discuss where our understanding of God, Church, and the marketplace has been immature or broken. The goal is that you are empowered to do it differently, getting a greater result in your relationship to God's voice impacting the way you partner to your career.
On the surface, Bob Hasson's life in business has followed a storyline many entrepreneurs dream of writing for themselves. Over forty years, he successfully grew his solo startup venture as a house painter into one of the largest and most respected commercial paint companies in the Western U.S. Yet the true story of this growth and success, both in business and in life, lies not a classic recipe of hard work, talent, and great opportunities, but in something deeper: his journey of learning to live as a person of honor in business.
We were created to be God's apprentices in life and work. We all have wisdom gaps that need to be filled--that's the whole point of our journey to mature as sons and daughters of God. Unfortunately, many believers are totally unaware that what they are fundamentally lacking is not passion or the right job or a better work environment, but wisdom for life and what to do when they feel those things. As long as they are misidentifying the true gap in their lives, they will continue to try to solve the wrong problem. This is why so many of them are not thriving as they can and should. Work Wise Live Wise gives you the best of what I have learned through my own experiences, from others, and from the Word of God about how we become wise workers who live into God's design for life and experience the abundant, thriving life He desires for us. Through success and failure we can all find wisdom to move us forward!
The line that divides management and labour is being crossed regularly in Canada, as workers become owners of the companies that employ them. This is the first book to examine this phenomenon. Workers own a variety of enterprises small and large, often taking on an ownership role when their companies are in financial difficulty. Unions frequently provide the structure for workers to negotiate their ownership claims, but unions are ambivalent about these buyouts. Nevertheless, union-based and government-subsidized investment funds have rapidly growing resources to finance these takeovers. Crossing the Line is a groundbreaking look at the controversial phenomenon of employee ownership.
Someone has said that the greatest barrier to achievement is fear of failure. Many times we have brilliant ideas but do not act upon them because we fear we will fail. I wonder how many times did the Wright brothers failed before they finally soared. Usually when I visit Washington, D.C., I like to tour the Space Museum. At the entrance to the Museum hangs a small bi-plane---I assume this plane was our first venture off the ground into the air. The Wright brothers had the idea that, "If birds can fly why can't I." In other words, as someone has said, "If you can conceive it, you can achieve it." However, you may fail many times before you succeed. The important thing is to learn from your mi...
A thrilling behind-the-scenes biography of the Ringling brothers’ chief henchman. Art Concello wasn’t born into the circus. But he was in the right place at the right time, becoming one of the world’s best trapeze artists before transforming himself into a shrewd circus businessman. In the Shadow of the Big Top: The Life of Ringling's Unlikely Circus Savior details Concello’s fateful path from flyer, to manager, to owner. Against the backdrop of the golden age of the American circus, this book goes beyond the showmanship displayed in the ring to reveal how the circus could both thrill a crowd and make incredible money—and exposes the human toll extracted for doing so. Maureen Brunsdale not only tells Art’s incredible life story, but also that of his wife, an orphan-turned-acrobat who was determined to never be left behind in a career every bit as terrifying and electrifying as her husband’s. The first-ever biography of Concello, In the Shadow of the Big Top draws back the curtain on the inner workings of the circus and casts a light on the man who shaped not only Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey, but the circus industry as a whole.
