√√ This volume illuminates the non-negotiable must haves, to eliminate outright blunders.
Here, in Volume V (Sustaining), you cannot just hang out and hang on to yesterday's stellar production metrics. I focus on sustaining that pace and protecting the gains to date. Once you are sailing smoothly, you should be looking for that protective base carpet to underlay, and that protective insulating blanket to cover and protect, everything that you have built. I present them both. I also bring it all together in more thoughts on leadership, considering a few different ways or organizing work and society, and a philosophical journey on the purposes of business in society and society in business, that is both retrospective, and forward-looking.
Set on 6.14" x 9.21" paper (softcover portable novella format), this Volume in the “Success in Business” series has 248 power-packed pages giving the reader practical and actionable guidance on handling business. Hanging out on a limb and a prayer, and hanging on to old production metrics; but for how long? The business stopwatch is for a marathon, not a sprint, and you need to stay the course and deliver repeatedly. Here, in Volume V (Sustaining), I focus on protecting the gains to date, and maintaining the pace and momentum without stumbling, or being timed out. Once you are sailing smoothly, you may be looking for that thick and sturdy, protective base carpet to underlay and support, and that insulating, all-weather protective blanket to cover and protect, all that you have built. I have both of them for you! Introduced right away, here, the carpet is actually a type of food that spells its own acronym in a repeated success formula. Then, after a bit of a philosophical journey on leadership, business types, and the purposes of business in society and of society in business, I also introduce that blanket, to shield the future from ill winds and other perils.
The “Success in Business” series is organized into 5 volumes and 36 chapters grouped by theme, and the author, who is a lawyer, business owner, and regulator with broad and deep experience in the United States and Canada, melds background facts, theories, formulas, and examples with real world scenarios to take readers through Starting, Scaling, facing Situations in, plain Sailing with, and Sustaining a modern-day business.
I'm a lawyer and businessman who also writes books.
Hello, Thank you for visiting. For over 40 years, I have lived, studied, run my own and family-businesses, and worked on 3 continents. With an Ivy-League legal education (William & Mary Law School), I have advised and represented business owners at concept and startup, navigated other business leaders through growing pains and occasional strains, and counseled CFOs and other top executives in businesses small and large, and Non-Profits. During this same period, I have also had the privilege of working in or with governments in the United States of America and Canada at the municipal, state and territorial, and federal levels - including on legislation and policy-making, regulatory compliance, and contracts, litigation, and alternate dispute resolution, amongst others. Looking back, I have been able to distill and assemble some gems of advice and analysis from this broad and deep experience in counseling and representation. The result is a 5-part business book series, entitled "Success in Business: Your Blue-Printed Inside Guide" for Starting, Scaling, facing Situations in, plain Sailing with, and Sustaining momentum and gains, in the modern-day business. I have made each volume available in a 8.5" x 11.0" softcover textbook format, as well as a softcover portable novella format, measuring 6.14" x 9.21". I therefore invite you to pick one up, and if you like it and find it helpful and useful, do come back for more. For maximum utility, every volume contains lined pages at irregular intervals for the convenience of those who like to make notes in their books. And also, for ease of reference and navigation, each volume contains the title and contents of every chapter in the series. So, you can easily hone-in on your preferred business stage or area(s) of interest, or just start at Volume I and go forwards methodically from there. Please note that some covers have changed, and so your order will include the most current version. Thank you, again, and happy Reading!

Here, in Volume V (Sustaining), I focus in on your castle and your moat. Business longevity is a marathon, not a sprint, and barbarians will be at your gates sooner than you think, if you do not protect your past successes, and/or fail to repeat them.
You need to protect and repeat the gains to date, and maintain the pace and momentum without stumbling, or being timed out. Once you are sailing smoothly, you need that thick and sturdy, protective base carpet to underlay and support, and that insulating, all-weather protective blanket to cover and protect, all that you have built. I have both of them for you!
Introduced right away, here, the carpet is actually a type of food that spells its own acronym. Then, after a philosophical journey that is both retrospective and forward-looking on leadership, business types, job sharing, societal organization, and the purposes of business in society and of society in business, I introduce that blanket.
