 Here are 10 lessons from the Diary of a CEO podcast by Steven Bartlett: 1. Be authentic Be yourself and don't try to be someone you're not. People can tell when you're being fake, and it will make it difficult to build trust and rapport. 2. Be honest Honesty is always the best policy, even when it's difficult. If you're honest with people, they will be more likely to trust you and respect you. 3. Be transparent Be open and transparent with people about your business and your goals. This will help build trust and credibility. 4. Be a good listener One of the most important skills a CEO can have is the ability to listen well.

Accounting

 Chapter 1 Grasping Bookkeeping and Accounting Basics M ost folks aren't enthusiastic bookkeepers. You probably balance your checkbook against your bank statement every month and somehow manage to pull together all the records you need for your annual federal income tax return. But if you're like most people, you stuff your bills in a drawer and just drag them out once a month when you pay them. Individuals can get along quite well without much bookkeeping but the exact opposite is true for a business. A business needs a good bookkeeping and account- ing system to operate day to day, and a business needs accurate and timely data to operate effectively. In addition to facilitating day-to-day operations, a company's bookkeeping and accounting system serves as the source of information for preparing its periodic financial statements, tax returns, and reports to managers. The accuracy of these reports is critical to the business's survival. That's because managers use f

GONE WITH THE WIND Margaret Mitchell

 The Greatest Love Story of All Time... GONE WITH THE WIND Margaret Mitchell Part One CHAPTER I Scarlett O'HARA was not beautiful, but men seldom realized it when caught by her charm as the Tarleton twins were. In her face were too sharply blended the delicate features of her mother, a Coast aristocrat of French descent, and the heavy ones of her florid Irish father. But it was an arresting face, pointed of chin, square of jaw. Her eyes were pale green without a touch of hazel, starred with bristly black lashes and slightly tilted at the ends. Above them, her thick black brows slanted upward, cutting a startling oblique line in her magnolia-white skin - that skin so prized by Southern women and so carefully guarded with bonnets, veils and mittens against hot Georgia suns. Seated with Stuart and Brent Tarleton in the cool shade of the porch of Tara, her father's plantation, that bright April afternoon of 1861, she made a pretty picture. Her new green flowered-muslin dress spread

Ohio the history of a people

 Ohio: The History of a People Andrew R. L. Cayton As the state of Ohio prepares to celebrate its bicentennial in 2003, Andrew R. L. Cayton offers an account of ways in which diverse citizens have woven its history. Ohio: The History of a People, centers around the many stories Ohioans have told about life in their state. The founders of Ohio in 1803 believed that its success would depend on the development of a public culture that emphasized what its citizens had in common with each other. But for two centuries the remarkably diverse inhabitants of Ohio have repeatedly asserted their own ideas about how they and their children should lead their lives. The state's public culture has consisted of many voices, sometimes in conflict with each other. Using memoirs, diaries, letters, novels, and paintings, Cayton writes Ohio's history as a collective biography of its citizens. Ohio, he argues, lies at the intersection of the stories of James Rhodes and Toni Morrison, Charles Ruthenb
