It is simply a matter of knowing which quadrant to work from and when, and winning the confidence of others. It should enable the reader to gain the knowledge and courage to remake themselves. |

THE BALANCED SCORECARD
Translating Strategy into Action
KAPLAN and NORTON
This is a universal corporate strategy "bible". In my experience it can be extremely effective but may be "over-kill" for the SME and entrepreneur in the developing days of business growth. Now supported by a Microsoft application,however, it is the book-by the recognized architects of the Balanced Scorecard--that shows how managers can use this revolutionary tool to mobilize their people to fulfill the company's mission.
More than just a measurement system, the Balanced Scorecard is a management system that can channel the energies, abilities, and specific knowledge held by people throughout the organization toward achieving long-term strategic goals. |

THE MASTER KEY SYSTEM
CHARLES F. HAANDEL
Bill Gates is alleged to be a convert. I am and found this method accesible and logical. It is not your run of the mill business-in-a-box book; it requires some deeper thought but because of that is profound and inspiring. Haanel argues that everyone's subconscious is a part of the Universal Consciousness. This gives the individual access to great creative power, in any aspect of life.
The trick, therefore, is to learn how to discipline your inner world, to channel your thinking - so that inner creation is positive and your outside world develops to reflect this. |

THE SECRET
RHONDA BYRNE
This book is simply stunning. Anyone can access its power to bring themselves health, wealth and happiness. I know, I have used it !! Fragments of The Secret have been found in oral traditions, literature, religions and philosophies throughout the centuries.
Beautiful in its simplicity, and mind-dazzling in its ability to really work, The Secret reveals the mystery of the hidden potential within us all. By unifying leading-edge scientific thought with ancient wisdom and spirituality, the riveting, practical knowledge will lead readers to a greater understanding of how they can be the masters of their own lives |
