Summary
Summary
Becoming a successful entrepreneur takes energy and drive. Less than 20 percent make it beyond the first three years. Achieving the next level, the status of business titan — the upper echelon of leadership — takes an unrelenting commitment to turn an idea into a plan, a plan into a startup venture, and a venture into a successful business. The chances of getting to the top are slim at best, relying on a particular set of skills and attributes. In The Wisdom of Titans, William Ferguson shares how 10 famous titans, from Bill Marriott to Julia Stewart, made it to the top, for every entrepreneur to learn from and follow. The book describes the challenges of leading service organizations, in particular, where managing and motivating thousands of people can make or break the business. The book provides advice for those just starting out as well as business leaders looking to take their enterprise to the next level. Gildan Media and Bibliomotion are proud to bring you another Bibliomotion Audiobook. Featuring exceptional content for today’s listener, these notable audiobooks contain the essential tools that can be applied to every facet of your life.Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“In The Wisdom of Titans,
Bill Ferguson brings together a who’s who of entrepreneurs who candidly
share lessons learned on their journeys. The book contains important
commonalities—passion, focus on the bottom line, growing market share,
developing a team—as well as ‘secret sauce’ ingredients unique to each
individual. This is a must-read for anyone who is or wants to be a
successful entrepreneur.” —Jeffrey Fox, Fox & Company, author of the bestselling The Transformative CEO
“What does it take to be a successful entrepreneur? In The Wisdom of Titans,
Bill Ferguson goes to the source to answer that question—the top
executives and highly successful business builders across industries
from hospitality to health care. Their ‘success secrets’ encompass solid
business practices as well as those unique traits and qualities that
make a difference between good and great. This book is a game-changer
for anyone interested in the entrepreneurial journey.” —Thomas Priselac, president and CEO, Cedars-Sinai Health System
“Being
your own boss is the great American dream, but only 1% of entrepreneurs
are truly successful. Ferguson, chairman and CEO of Ferguson Partners,
interviewed some of the world’s best-known entrepreneurs in order to
instruct a wide audience: entrepreneurs whose businesses have stalled;
corporate leaders who want to take a more entrepreneurial approach;
budding entrepreneurs; and M.B.A. students…[the] interviewees instruct
the reader to have fun at work, be a student of the business, make a
mark outside the mainstream, grow the bottom line, mentor others, create
value out of a vision, take risks, measure progress, maintain
integrity, and leave a legacy…the overall message is strong.” —Publishers Weekly
