Chapters include such subjects as finding a target market, marketing strategies, and brand development. Especially important are the common pitfalls listed to avoid in starting a business from home.

The purpose of leadership is to get better results. Leaders are most useful when they are improving outcomes. Everything else that a leader does is an input to this final output, and everything shared in this book is based on this idea. This book is written for current and aspiring leaders within organisations. The organisation might be your own start-up, a mid-size corporation, a global multinational, a not for profit or a government department. The principles in this book are derived from human behaviour and therefore transcend organisational structure, size and industry type. Where any group of people gather together to achieve an outcome, this book will help the leaders in that group achieve a better outcome.

An inspiring autobiography by “one of the finest human beings, industrial leaders, and philanthropists on the planet” (Stephen R. Covey). The company Jon Huntsman founded in 1970, the Huntsman Corporation, is now one of the largest petrochemical manufacturers in the world, employing more than 12,000 people and generating over $10 billion in revenue each year. Success in business, though, was always a means to an end for him—never an end in itself. In Barefoot to Billionaire, Huntsman revisits the key moments in his life that shaped his view of faith, family, service, and the responsibility that comes with wealth. He writes candidly about his brief tenure in the Nixon administration, which preceded the Watergate scandal but still left a deep impression on him about the abuse of power and the significance of personal respect and integrity. He also opens up about his faith and prominent membership in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. But most importantly, Huntsman reveals the rationale behind his commitment to give away his entire fortune before his death. In 1995, Huntsman and his wife, Karen, founded the Huntsman Cancer Institute and eventually dedicated more than a billion dollars of their personal funds to the fight for a cure. In this increasingly materialistic world, Barefoot to Billionaire is a refreshing reminder of the enduring power of traditional values.

This book is the first episode in the autobiography of Charles Robert Barefoot Jr: "THE MAN." He is not like any man you've ever known or even read about in a fiction novel. Barefoot Jr. is afraid of NOTHING!!! Yet with all this rough exterior, Barefoot Jr. is a loving compassionate man that spends hours every day devoted to helping others. Barefoot Jr. is smarter and wiser than most who have college degrees. This self-made man has studied law, religion, medicine, business, economics, and much more. Yet he keeps his backwoods charm. As a child most adults that knew him were protective of him. The men respected him and all the girls and women loved him. He had everything: money, fame, respect and love. His life was going great. Then suddenly one day, WHAM! His world began to fall apart. This episode takes us to when his troubles first started, and how those he loved and thought he could trust betrayed him. It also gives a glimpse into his childhood and many of the experiences that made him who he is today. Today he sits in prison because of jealousy and lies. Knowing that God is in control of his life, Charles Barefoot Jr. never complains but continues to do God's work right where he is.
