Perched in the Storm: Brutal Lessons in Resilience Every Leader Can Learn from Entrepreneurs
By Dr. William T. Lewis
Leadership isn't about avoiding the storm-it's about learning how to stand in it without falling apart.
Perched in the Storm is not your typical leadership book. It's a raw, funny, and brutally honest journey through the thunderclaps of life and business, told by someone who has taken the hits, lost the gigs, pivoted hard, and still managed to stay perched-soaked, but standing.
From getting fired from a dream job to launching a business with little more than a prayer and a stack of rejection letters, Dr. William T. Lewis doesn't just talk about resilience-he lives it. Blending hard-earned leadership lessons, personal face-plant moments, and interviews with resilient entrepreneurs, this book delivers insight with honesty, humility, and just enough humor to keep things human.
Inside, readers will find:First-person stories that don't sugarcoat the storm
Lessons from entrepreneurs who built while everything around them was shaking
A practical Resilient Leader Framework for leading with clarity and purpose
Reflection prompts to help turn adversity into strength


Whether you lead a team, a company, a classroom, a household-or you're simply trying to hold it together-this book is for you.
If you've ever been ghosted by a client, doubted your calling, emptied your bank account on payday, or sat in your car gathering yourself before a Zoom meeting, you're not alone.
You weren't built to outrun the storm.
You were built to lead through it.

Brutal Lessons in Resilience Every Leader Can Learn from Entrepreneurs

Perched in the Storm

Every Sunday night, teachers across America are familiar with a host of feelings that have been coined the "Sunday Scaries." Some are excited by the opportunities of a new week, while others are exhausted by the stress of planning lessons to meet constantly shifting educational mandates and the significant emotional needs of an entire generation of students who faced learning loss during and after COVID. The current political climate means that they also feel targeted and are at risk of being fired or demonized for their actions, simply because of a single out-of-context conversation or a misleading video. Creating Teachpreneurs is one way to transform those Sunday Scaries into Monday possibilities. It's a tactical guide and motivational manifesto designed to help educators leverage their existing skills, such as strategic planning, content design, and resilience, and turn them into a profitable and fulfilling business on their own terms.
 There are other options for learning how to start a business. Unlike other business books filled with jargon and fluff, this book speaks directly to the teacher's experience, providing a clear pathway to entrepreneurship rooted in the skills they already use every day. Through a blend of true-to-life stories and fictional vignettes, readers will learn how to turn their classroom wisdom into business impact, gain legal and financial clarity, and build a scalable venture that reclaims their creativity and passion without burning out.

Creating Teachpreneurs

A must-have text for graduate and undergraduate students in entrepreneurship, finance, and management programmes, as well as aspiring entrepreneurs and early-stage investors in any field.

"START MAKING SOME SERIOUS MONEY...FOLLOW MIKE'S COUNTERINTUITIVE ADVICE AND PUT PROFITS FIRST." -Verne Harnish, author of Scaling Up "A BRILLIANT SMACK-UPSIDE-THE-HEAD REVELATION FOR ENTREPRENEURS." -Sally Hogshead, author of Fascinate "PROFIT FIRST MAY ARGUABLY BE ONE OF THE GREATEST 'HACKS' OF ALL TIME...WATCH THE PROFITS ROLL IN." -Chris Guillebeau, author of Born for This and The $100 Startup "A GAME CHANGER...YOU NEED THIS BOOK." -Michael Port, author of Steal the Show "A MUST-READ FOR BUSINESSES LARGE AND SMALL." -Jenny Blake, author of Pivot "THE ROAD MAP TO AVOID BECOMING A STATISTIC." -Dawn Fotopulos, associate professor of business, The King's College, New York City; author of Accounting for the Numberphobic The entrepreneur behind three multi-million dollar companies offers a simple, counterintuitive cash management solution that will help small businesses break out of the doom spiral and achieve instant profitability. Conventional accounting uses the logical (albeit, flawed) formula: Sales - Expenses = Profit. The problem is, businesses are run by humans, and humans aren't always logical. Serial entrepreneur Mike Michalowicz has developed a behavioral approach to accounting to flip the formula: Sales - Profit = Expenses. Just as the most effective weight loss strategy is to limit portions by using smaller plates, Michalowicz shows that by taking profit first and apportioning only what remains for expenses, entrepreneurs will transform their businesses from cash-eating monsters to profitable cash cows. Using Michalowicz's Profit First system, readers will learn that: · Following 4 simple principles can simplify accounting and make it easier to manage a profitable business by looking at bank account balances. · A small, profitable business can be worth much more than a large business surviving on its top line. · Businesses that attain early and sustained profitability have a better shot at achieving long-term growth. With dozens of case studies, practical, step-by-step advice, and his signature sense of humour, Michalowicz has the game-changing roadmap for any entrepreneur to make money they always dreamed of.

Profit First

More than one hundred million people are displaced worldwide today, and political backlash against refugees has slashed vital humanitarian aid. When given the chance, however, many displaced people have proved themselves to be resourceful entrepreneurs who can drive growth. Investing in refugee-led enterprises, companies supporting refugees, and the communities welcoming them transforms tragedy into economic and social gain for all. Banking on Belonging offers a visionary roadmap that shows how investing in refugees not only empowers displaced communities but also builds more prosperous and resilient economies worldwide. John Kluge Jr., a social entrepreneur, and Christine Mahoney, a public policy expert, demonstrate that refugees are not burdens but instead benefit host societies through job creation, tax revenue, and innovation. They tell the powerful stories of resilient entrepreneurs displaced from places such as Iraq, South Sudan, Syria, Ukraine, and Venezuela, exploring their contributions from New York to North Dakota, Poland to Jordan, Mexico to Uganda. Banking on Belonging presents the Refugee Lens Investing framework, a pioneering system for classifying opportunities such as refugee-owned businesses and funds targeting displaced talent. Blending on-the-ground narratives and case studies with empirical data and concrete tools, it makes the moral and practical case for private investment as a sustainable alternative to humanitarian aid. At once a hands-on guide and an inspiring global saga, this book delivers a fresh, hopeful vision of inclusion and prosperity.

Why Investing in Refugee Entrepreneurs Benefits Everyone

Do Curate

Dieses Buch stellt das gesamte Spektrum der Anlageklasse Private Equity systematisch dar und bietet eine umfassende und zugleich kompakte Grundlage für dieses Wissensgebiet. Der inhaltli­che Schwerpunkt liegt zunächst auf der Erläuterung der wichtigsten Private-Equity-Investment­strategien wie Venture Capital, Growth Capital, Leveraged Buyouts, Distressed Assets und Mezzanine Finance. Darauf aufbauend werden unterschiedliche Zugangsmöglichkeiten zu der Anlageklasse, wie Investitionen in Private-Equity-Fonds, Fund-of-Funds-Strukturen sowie der Kauf von Aktien börsennotierter Private-Equity-Manager erklärt. Wichtige Zielgruppen sind Mitar­beiter institutioneller Investoren wie Pensionskassen und Vermögensverwaltungsgesellschaften, Mitarbeiter von Family Offices sowie vermögende Privatinvestoren, die überwiegend über Fonds­vehikel in die Anlageklasse investieren. Aufgrund seiner durchgehenden Systematik eignet sich das Buch jedoch auch als Lehrbuch im Hochschulstudium sowie als Nachschlagewerk für Invest­ment Professionals in der Private-Equity-Branche.Der Inhalt<ul><li>Einführung</li><li>Private-Equity-Direktbeteiligungen</li><li>Private Equity Fonds</li><li>Private Equity Dachfonds</li><li>Aktien börsennotierter Private-Equity-Manager als Anlagemöglichkeit</li><li>Gesamtwirtschaftliche Auswirkungen von Private Equity</li></ul>Die AutorenMehdi Mostowfi ist Professor für Finance an der Zürcher Hochschule für Angewandte Wissen­schaften (ZHAW). Er ist stellvertretender Leiter des Instituts für Financial Management und Leiter der Fachstelle Corporate Finance &amp; Capital Markets. Sein beruflicher Werdegang umfasst Tätig­keiten als Senior Investment Manager für Private-Equity-Investitionen bei der Deutschen Investitions- und Entwicklungsgesellschaft (DEG), als Investment Banker bei Morgan Stanley sowie als Berater bei McKinsey &amp; Company im Corporate Finance &amp; Strategy Practice.&nbsp;Fabian Danko ist Dozent und stellvertretender Leiter der Fachstelle Corporate Finance &amp; Capital Markets an der Zürcher Hochschule für Angewandte Wissenschaften (ZHAW). Fabian Danko hält einen Master of Arts in Accounting and Finance der Universität St. Gallen (HSG) und verfügt über mehr als 10 Jahre Erfahrung in den Bereichen M&amp;A und Private Equity. In seiner letzten Funktion bei einem Schweizer Private-Equity-Unternehmen war er für die Transaktionsstruktur sowie die finanzielle Due Diligence der Akquisitionen verantwortlich.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Dieses Buch deckt das gesamte Spektrum der Anlageklasse Private Equity systematisch ab und präsentiert eine methodisch-didaktische, umfassende und dennoch kompakte Grundlage für dieses Wissensgebiet. Die inhaltliche Zielsetzung des Buches besteht in der Vermittlung von wissenschaftlich fundiertem, in der Praxis gut verwertbarem Wissen auf dem Gebiet Direct Private Equity Investmentstrategien (Venture Capital, Growth Capital, Leveraged Buyouts, Distressed Assets und Mezzanine Finance), Private Equity Fonds (mit jeweiligem Fokus auf eine der Direct PE Investment Strategien) sowie auf Fund of Private Equity Funds (Primaries, Secondaries und Co-Investments). Nachdem sich die Zielgruppe des Buches neben Studierenden und Wissernschaftlern in erster Linie aus Mitarbeitern von institutionellen Investoren (von Pensionskassen, Vermögenswaltungsgesellschaften und Family Offices) und vermögenden Privatinvestoren bildet, die in der Regel über die Vehikel PE Fonds und PE Fund-of-Funds in diese Anlageklasse investieren, soll der Schwerpunkt des Buches auf der Darstellung dieser Anlageformen liegen. Neben einem grundlegenden Verständnis der Produkte/ Investitionsvehikel soll der Leser mit der grundsätzlichen Vorgehensweise bei ihrer Analyse und Bewertung vertraut gemacht und hierdurch unter anderem befähigt werden, selbstständig eine Due Diligence im Vorfeld einer Investition in Private Equity Fonds (oder Fund of Funds) durchzuführen. Für die Analyse und Prüfung von PE-Fonds ist jedoch ein gutes Verständnis der Direct PE Investmentstrategien unerlässlich. Daher wird im Anschluss an das Einführungskapitel (über PE als Anlageklasse) zunächst in diese Thematik (PE-Strategien, Bewertung von Direct PE-Investitionen und Exit-Strategien) eingeführt, bevor die Themen PE Fonds und PE Fund-of-Funds ausführlich behandelt werden. In Zusammenhang (und Abgrenzung) zu PE-Fonds wird das Buch auch auf neuere Alternative Anlageformen in Private Equity (wie zum Beispiel Crowd-Investing) eingehen. Des Weiteren ist das Buch unseres Wissens die erste Monografie, die über die genannten Anlageformen hinaus auch auf die Möglichkeit der Investition in börsennotierte Manager (als Alternative zu PE-Fondsinvestitionen) eingehen und deren Gemeinsamkeiten/Unterschiede zu Investitionen in (von den Managern verwalteten) Fonds herausstellen wird.&nbsp;

Principles of Entrepreneurial Marketing

Unternehmer gelten oft als gierig, rücksichtslos oder sogar gefährlich. Dabei sind sie das Gegenteil: Sie sind der Motor für Fortschritt, Innovation und Wohlstand für uns alle.Weiying Zhang, einer der renommiertesten chinesischen Ökonomen, ist der profilierteste Verfechter der Marktwirtschaft in China. Seit 40 Jahren beschäftigt er sich mit dem Thema Unternehmertum. Er zeigt in seinem einmaligen Werk, warum wir dazu neigen, Unternehmertum völlig falsch zu verstehen - und warum das enorme Folgen für Politik und Gesellschaft hat.Unternehmer haben in der Geschichte der Menschheit immer wieder gewaltige Probleme gelöst. Die vielleicht größte Gefahr für unseren Wohlstand ist, dass diese Tatsache in Vergessenheit gerät. Denn viele Ökonomen sehen im Unternehmer immer noch eine Art Rechenmaschine: jemanden, der rational abwägt, wie knappe Ressourcen am besten eingesetzt werden. Das hat, so Weiying Zhang, nahezu nichts mit der Wirklichkeit tun. Unternehmer sind eher wie Kreative, wie Künstler.Unternehmertum ist viel mehr als Gewinnstreben - nämlich die kreative Kraft, die aus Unsicherheit Zukunft macht. Das erklärt, warum selbst Big Data niemals Unternehmer ersetzen kann, weshalb Industriepolitik - genauso wie die Planwirtschaft - immer scheitert: und zwar an der Annahme, wirklichkeitsfremde Politiker und Beamte wüssten besser als Millionen Unternehmer und Konsumenten, was die erfolgversprechendsten Innovationen der Zukunft sind.Dieses Buch ist eine leidenschaftliche Verteidigung des Unternehmers - gegen Neid, Vorurteile und ökonomische Irrtümer. Wer von Grund auf verstehen will, wie Märkte wirklich funktionieren und warum Wohlstand ohne Unternehmertum nicht denkbar ist, findet hier eine ebenso fundierte wie inspirierende Antwort.Ein hochaktuelles Buch in einer Zeit, in der sich der Staat immer öfter mit planwirtschaftlichen Methoden in das Leben der Menschen und Unternehmen einmischt.

Critical University Studies

How the cult of capitalism reshaped the American university--and hollowed it out from within.Over the past several decades, American universities have been remade as engines of entrepreneurial ambition. Technology transfer offices, business incubators, pitch competitions, innovation hubs, and leadership centers now sit at the heart of campus life, radically altering how institutions describe their purpose, structure curricula, and imagine student success. The Start-Up Factory argues that this shift has come at a steep cost.James Rushing Daniel traces the rise of entrepreneurialism in higher education and shows how universities came to embrace the figure of the founder as both ideal and benefactor. Business leaders--many of them major donors--are celebrated as singular visionaries, their values imported into academic life and framed as models for intellectual work. This reverence, Daniel argues, has narrowed the university's sense of public responsibility for distorted academics, and transformed institutions into finishing schools for aspiring entrepreneurs. Moving across policy and historical documents, institutional rhetoric, teaching materials, site visits, and interviews, The Start-Up Factory documents how entrepreneurial thinking has reshaped the pedagogy, culture, and mission of the American university.The consequences of this entrepreneurial focus extend far beyond campuses. By promoting the myth of the self-made billionaire, universities help legitimize extreme inequality and normalize forms of power that undermine democratic life. At a moment of deep institutional crisis, when the influence of the billionaire class on college campuses is increasingly absolute and the future of higher education is uncertain, The Start-Up Factory offers a clear-eyed account of how universities arrived here--and why reclaiming their autonomy has become an urgent task.
