| building a book of business: Building a Million Dollar Book of Business Esq Daniel P. Lynch, 2018-05-10 If you want to build an above-average book of business, this book is a must! Through a disciplined commitment to foundational principles and growth-oriented behaviors, Dan Lynch built a 10-lawyer Firm and a $1 million ++ annual book of business, surpassing the average lawyer by a wide margin. While practicing law and generating business, Dan regularly mentored his associates and articulated these principles and behaviors. He teaches these principles to his four children as well. Then one Monday morning, Dan was blind-sided when five partner-level lawyers of the Firm came into his office and announced, without notice, We're leaving. This group proceeded to recruit support staff and some of Dan's own clients away from him. The betrayal caused Dan to question the things about life and business that he had believed in and so often articulated. As he debated the answers to these questions and tried to learn from this situation, Dan recruited and hired. He did what he had always done to build a team and build a business. Two years later, The Lynch Law Group had more lawyers, more staff, and more revenue than it did at the time of the betrayal. The Firm was also voted one of the top 100 Best Places to Work by the Pittsburgh Business Times in each of the years following the betrayal. In this book, Dan shares the principles and behaviors he used to build a successful firm, not once, but twice. If you've been looking for a proven guide to build an above-average book of business, you've found it! |

| building a book of business: The Art of Business Value Mark Schwartz, 2016-04-07 Do you really understand what business value is? Information technology can and should deliver business value. But the Agile literature has paid scant attention to what business value means—and how to know whether or not you are delivering it. This problem becomes ever more critical as you push value delivery toward autonomous teams and away from requirements “tossed over the wall” by business stakeholders. An empowered team needs to understand its goal! Playful and thought-provoking, The Art of Business Value explores what business value means, why it matters, and how it should affect your software development and delivery practices. More than any other IT delivery approach, DevOps (and Agile thinking in general) makes business value a central concern. This book examines the role of business value in software and makes a compelling case for why a clear understanding of business value will change the way you deliver software. This book will make you think deeply about not only what it means to deliver value but also the relationship of the IT organization to the rest of the enterprise. It will give you the language to discuss value with the business, methods to cut through bureaucracy, and strategies for incorporating Agile teams and culture into the enterprise. Most of all, this book will startle you into new ways of thinking about the cutting-edge of Agile practice and where it may lead. |

| building a book of business: Big Enough Lee LeFever, 2020-09-15 Lee LeFever and his co-founder and wife, Sachi LeFever, didn't know exactly what type of business they were setting out to build when they started Common Craft in the early 2000s. What they were sure of is that they would design the business in such a way that they prioritized their happiness and time--they wanted the opportunity to go camping on Tuesdays if they felt like it, and make up the time later. While not sacrificing their vision for a business that values time over money, Lee and Sachi built a leading internet-based visual communications firm that includes Google, LEGO, Intel, Microsoft, Ford, and Dropbox as its clients. They paved the way for explainer videos that are now a mainstay of companies' marketing and communications strategy. They learned to pivot to different income streams, and say no to opportunities that would increase unhappiness and decrease autonomy. And they did it all while working from home, not taking on outside employees, and camping on Tuesdays. Like Paul Jarvis in Company of One, Lee shows how they did it, and offers his best tips for how you can build a business and a life you love. |
