Ceos Tell Us Their Best Business Books
 Bill Nankivell, Partner at Bregman & Hamman Architects, “If there was one book of 2005 I would recommend that you read, it would be The World is Flat by Thomas Friedman. This book gave me a huge wake-up call on how to change the way we approach our business overseas. Ideas in Friedman’s book are helping us develop a new strategic direction for our oversea branch offices, and leverage newly developed technical skills in those offices into marketable services in North America.” For more CEO best books, see ww.loewenpartners.com

An Internet Game teaches Your Child How to Run a Business
 Forget about worrying that your kids are addicted to the computer and will never grow up to do a business. Now you can get them to go online and play an internet game that gives them skills they can use for the rest of their lives. This game encourages your child to get a taste of what it’s like to be an entrepreneur. They can open their own pet spa, bubblegum factory or comic shop in Opportunity City. Players come up with marketing campaigns; create products & services and fiddle the prices - all in response to customer needs and news events. As a self-funded entrepreneur, they’ll keep all the profits but if something goes wrong, they have to deal with it. (Just like in real life!) The game is a partnership between Walt Disney Company and Carl Schramm, one of
America's leading evangelist of entrepreneurship. Don’t let the Disney brand put off your kids (my kids thought Disney meant babyish game but it’s actually quite sophisticated.)

Business Secret of Turnaround Entrepreneur of the Year
“Make your financial partners an integral part of your business because financial partners are the biggest part of our success. The right partners will understand your business and get you through the bumps,” said Victor Fradkin of VLR Food Corporation (Specialty frozen food manufacturer), as he accepted his Turnaround Entrepreneur award at the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year 2005 Awards.http://www.jonathant.com/corporate.html
Why an “exit strategy” means more money in your pocket
Some business people do not plan how to get investors’ money (or their own) back out of their business. With this short term vision, it is no wonder that many businesses struggle to get the recognition and financial backing they richly deserve.
