The Money Habit
Money. What if you never had to worry about it again? In the follow-up to his international bestseller Profit First, entrepreneur and money expert Mike Michalowicz reveals how to achieve financial freedom by working with your natural habits rather than trying to change them. His Profit First model has already helped over a million businesses and entrepreneurs achieve financial independence. Now, with The Money Habit, he brings that proven system to personal finance. Most financial advice demands strict budgets, sacrifice, and cutting back on life's joys, yet only 9% of people stick with these approaches. Other systems rely on complex tools or require adopting entirely new behaviors, leading to similarly grim results. Michalowicz offers a radically simple alternative, guiding you to leverage your existing habits for financial success. By categorizing money into distinct bank accounts, you will instantly gain cash clarity, track spending, and feel empowered, all while maintaining financial responsibility. He provides actionable steps to align your finances with your lifestyle and goals -- whether those are to get out of debt, spend some money, save for a big purchase, or plan for the future -- illustrated with lessons from his own journey, from losing his first fortune to regaining financial freedom. The truth is humans have always been wired for financial success, yet we are trying to master methods that work against our natural tendencies. The Money Habit is different: it simply activates what's already within you. This essential guide delivers a proven, sustainable approach to financial stability, security, and long-term wealth without forcing you to change who you are. All you need to do is activate your money habit.

Adapt or Fail!
Conventional approaches to board governance have been unable to keep pace with the momentum of change, as well as the uncertainty and asymmetric competition that characterizes the 21st century. Adapt or Fail! A 5x5 Governance Framework for Boards of Directors provides practical ways boards can lead and accelerate adaptation, even in the face of extreme uncertainty and inevitable adversity. It pulls back the curtain on governance successes and failures. It highlights the critical questions every board should ask and the lessons worth learning if organizations are to successfully adapt. The book describes the five essential powers common to all boards and explores how to use them. Whether for profit or not, large or small, public or private, all boards must conduct the business of the board itself; set direction and policy; approve key decisions and then prudently delegate; oversee the execution of direction within policy; and verify before trusting. Written by two governance experts who have lived and breathed these issues, the book shows how boards can embed a systematic and disciplined process of continuous adaptation by detecting signals (external/internal); interpreting those signals; responding through experimentation and innovation; judging the effectiveness of the response; and then adapting as necessary. This is an indispensable resource for board members and trustees in both for-profit and non-profit organizations.
