The Entrepreneurs Library presents the latest books for entrepreneurs in November 2014. These books are brand new to the market and the authors are in line to share their insights with me. Stay tuned this month for the release of the interviews with these great books and the authors.
This provocative book is built on the idea that businesses must return to a more human engagement methodology in order to succeed. It is an informative read for anyone interested in improving influence, growing business reach, improving sales figures or understanding the complexities of human behavior.
Behavioral strategists Dan Gregory and Kieran Flanagan argue that if you want to increase your chances of success in business and life, you should design for reality. Offering real-world strategies with a healthy dose of wit and charm, Selfish, Scared & Stupid will help you design for success by aligning with natural human behaviors: selfishness, fear and stupidity.
Learn how the survival of the species plays into business, including delusional realities and the reasons ideas can fail. Discover how to offer customers strategic rewards, thereby making the buying process more attractive to selfish natures. Examine the link between fear and the unknown, including strategies for quelling fears and turning them into action.

In this episode Heidi Shimberg and Scott Shimberg take you on a deep dive into their book Couple CEO where they teach you how to create balance between growing your business while enjoying a family and living a healthy lifestyle.
In their book, the Shimbergs take you on a journey exploring the difficulties and intimacies of living a life as an entrepreneurial couple. The goal of the book is to provide you with the secrets to living a couple lifestyle complete with business full of profit and a relationship full of passion.
This book is perfect for entrepreneurs that are interested in growing a business with their significant other or that simply want to create a valuable life together.
I would question whether there is any other book out there that covers the topic of what it’s like to be a couples CEO.
Since we write it in the form of a parable I think it’s intriguing for you to start from the beginning and go all the way through but if you need something in particular you can jump to that chapter.
To pursue your passion together and enjoy the journey along the way.
The book is written in a parable story format. In the story Heidi and I take a couple CEO name Mark and Melissa out on our sailboat for the day to talk about their business, relationship and life. We want to know what is working and what’s not and in the context of the day out at sea we take them through what we call our foundational building blocks which is the framework of the couple CEO methodology. The five building blocks we take them through are intimacy, time management, health and fitness, business strategies, and goals and dreams.
Mark and Melissa had a retail business that was handed down to them from her family. One of the things we try to discuss with them was for them to see beyond where they were now. They were having frustrations because not as many people were walking through the door now that the internet had offered so many opportunities for the typical buyer. We strategized with them on how they could possibly tie the internet in to it. This is something they had been really resistant to because that’s not the way her family had done it. They also are in a second stage of their life with the kids being out of the house and having to adjust to getting to know one another again outside of work.
When preparing to write the book we didn’t want to just share the things that worked for us. We interviewed dozens of other couples who have successful businesses and we found a lot of common threads with all of them. And so we made sure that we shared their stories and made sure that what we were communicating was the successful couples CEO world.
We get in to how you should not discuss business at the dinner table and the importance of maintaining a date night. Often a couple that works together, especially if you are starting a business fresh, you’re working 24/7. We all understand that that is what you have to do but if you don’t take a break from that it can break down the passionate side of the relationship and it’s really important to keep both of those going.
We encourage each couple to figure out what each of their personality types are so that they can communicate best with each other based on those results.
“The secret to a successful relationship is to work with your spouse.” –unknown
Scott and I have been working together for just shy of two decades. In the process of working together we’ve build, sold and developed roughly about a quarter of a billion dollars of real estate in the Tampa Bay area. We have found that balance of how to be successful but also enjoy a pleasant lifestyle.
Our inspiration is to inspire other entrepreneurial couples to share their business passion while living their life together. We really feel that having that personal fulfillment is important and since we figured out how to do that we wanted to put that in a book and share it with others.
