Book - Winning at Entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurial Leadership
My name is Raj Gavurla. I'm an entrepreneurial speaker, and mindset, mood, motivation expert. I wrote the book, Winning At Entrepreneurship. The reason I wrote the book is because we have a lot of how to book on entrepreneurship. I read many of them. However I did not see a book that talks about the entrepreneurial spirit needed, the mindset needed, the mood needed, the motivation needed for an entrepreneur to succeed. And really what is the real value of entrepreneurship? Why is it something that's looked upon so highly. In the book I give you common-sense strategies and its filled with tips, decision making formulas to really help you cut some years off to cut some stress and frustration off from your journey of being entrepreneurial. Even if you work in a company, a lot of companies today who are succeeding or that are succeeding are entrepreneurial in culture.
Therefore, check out my book. Here it is, Winning At Entrepreneurship. You can get it on my web site at http://www.rajgavurla.com/, http://www.amazon.com/, or http://www.learnoutloud.com/ if you would like. Or, call me to place an order at 404.918.7366.
Tell your friends about it. Tell your family about it. It will help them to find their inner voice in winning at entrepreneurship.

Leadership Teamwork and Professional Basketball
This past weekend I attended a professional basketball tryout. Each player competed for a contract. Only 10 contracts available. Here are the tips and instructions given for an astronomical return (ROI).
Before starting the instructor gave us these instructions:
1. We encourage one another
2. We don't get down on oneself (frustrated) ... positive attitude
3. Do the drills with integrity
4. I want to see how well you follow the drill instructions
What happened? When someone did well we praised it. If someone was having difficulty, we yelled encouragement and clapped in unison. When running drills if a player saw that another was struggling they would give a well timed tip. For example, "You're missing your shots. Relax". Twenty three players participated and each had areas of strength and areas that need improvement. Why was one player excellent in one drill and not another? It was amazing to see!
When they divided into teams, being a part of a team (on a team) made them play with greater effort. Basketball is a team sport. During a drill, the instructor yelled, "air balls are unacceptable ... you run a lap and do ten push ups". After hearing that, one player who was shooting air balls stopped shooting them for the rest of tryouts. The amount of professionalism and leadership teamwork was far greater than I've seen in any corporation so far.
What is it like in your organization or sports team? Implement this and I bet you will receive an astronomical
return on involvement
return on image
return on imagination
return on intensity
return on intelligence
return on influence
return on investment
Be A Hero!
