Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Thinking about starting the business of your dreams So what's holding you back Is it the fear of the unknown If you are even contemplating starting a business of your own, perhaps you feel 'stuck' where you are now But even being 'stuck' can seem better than facing that fear. That fear of the unknown, of leaving that comfort zone. Entrepreneurship is like an uncharted ocean. But ask yourself this question: Do you have the will and determination to leave dry land and navigate the choppy and sometimes daunting waters that lie before you If so, then Anyone Can Do It can help you tackle some of those fears, to answer some of the elusive questions about what an entrepreneur must face when making the decision to go for (what can sometimes seem like) that unattainable dream. Authors Sahar and Bobby Hashemi are the dynamic brother and sister team who started one of the most recognizable and high-profile brands in the United Kingdom today - Coffee Republic.Sahar and Bobby had to leave their comfort zones too, leaving secure jobs to take the plunge. But this is not a business memoir nor mere corporate history. This is a personal story about two ordinary people who 'did it', and who got it right. Anyone Can Do It is an inspirational book that chronicles the start and evolution of a genuine success story. Sahar and Bobby take you through their first conversations (when the seed of the idea was planted), to writing the business plan, finding a name, raising money, opening the first store, taking the company public and to the present day when Coffee Republic turns over millions, employs thousands of individuals and has over 100 outlets around the United Kingdom.Anyone Can Do It offers a myriad of lessons for aspiring entrepreneurs and blows apart the myth that only 'special' people start successful businesses. It's written in an informal style and packed with tips, advice and quotes. Throughout the text are copies of original business plans, early brainstorms and the cruel and duly ignored bank rejection letters.Sahar and Bobby take the reader step by step through every aspect of starting a business. The process for them wasn't always easy but one thing is for sure, it was the most rewarding journey either of them has taken.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The essays in this volume take on the challenge of explaining the current formation of the relation between sovereignty, law and violence in what is termed 'Democracy's Empire'. Democracy's Empire captures the co-appearance of the proliferation of democracy as the political formation that institutes and sustains freedom, equality and emancipation - and along with it, the proliferation of death, destruction and the abject condition of life. A period of history where there was supposed to be some consensus about the legitimate source of authority and the legal structures that would administer such norms has turned out to be a time when war as a sovereign exception has been instituted in an ever increasing number of places. This volume contains a situated discussion of the institution of democracy and related juridico-political problems. From the death of politics in South Africa to the institution of a certain normalisation of death in the 'constitutional' process taking place in Iraq, this thought-provoking volume poses the problem of violence and death at the heart of the institution of democracy.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Recent history has seen profound change in the world's political landscape. With these changes, many formerly secure understandings of political terms have become lost, and the meanings of the words we use to describe our politics have become muddied. Frequently confusing, and often intentionally misleading, this language can be easily distorted in order to spin disputed ideas or justify questionable actions. At the same time, fresh insights about modern politics have been developed that remain little known or discussed outside academic circles. This account of political keywords addresses these circumstances with a view to rectifying them - for the benefit of students, political activists, and a public desperately in need of clarity.The entries in Political Keywords work together to create a timely dictionary of contemporary political vernacular from 'alienation' to 'Zionism.' Extensive cross-referencing, suggested further readings, and a comprehensive glossary make Political Keywords the ideal guide to navigating a landscape of dangerously vague terms.
