For many women in their 20's and 30's, the greatest professional hurdle they'll need to overcome has little to do with their work life. The most focused, confident, and ambitious women can find themselves derailed by a tiny little thing: a new baby. While more workplaces are espousing family-friendly cultures, women are still subject to a "parenting penalty" and high-profile conflicts between parenting and the workplace are all over the news: from the controversy over companies covering the costs of egg-freezing to the debate over parental leave and childcare inspired by Marissa Mayer's policies at Yahoo. Here's the Plan offers an inventive and inspiring roadmap for working mothers steering their careers through the parenting years. Author Allyson Downey, founder of weeSpring, the "Yelp for baby products,” and mother of two young children advises readers on all practical aspects of ladder-climbing while parenting, such as negotiating leave, flex time, and promotions. In the style of #GIRLBOSS or Nice Girls Don't Get the Corner Office, Here's the Plan is the definitive guide for ambitious mothers, written by one working mother to another.
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER • At last, a book that shows you how to build—design—a life you can thrive in, at any age or stage • “Life has questions. They have answers.” —The New York Times Designers create worlds and solve problems using design thinking. Look around your office or home—at the tablet or smartphone you may be holding or the chair you are sitting in. Everything in our lives was designed by someone. And every design starts with a problem that a designer or team of designers seeks to solve. In this book, Bill Burnett and Dave Evans show us how design thinking can help us create a life that is both meaningful and fulfilling, regardless of who or where we are, what we do or have done for a living, or how young or old we are. The same design thinking responsible for amazing technology, products, and spaces can be used to design and build your career and your life, a life of fulfillment and joy, constantly creative and productive, one that always holds the possibility of surprise.
Each year Americans start one million new businesses, nearly 80 percent of which fail within the first five years. Under such pressure to stay alive—let alone grow—it’s easy for entrepreneurs to get caught up in a never-ending cycle of “sell it—do it, sell it—do it” that leaves them exhausted, frustrated, and unable to get ahead no matter how hard they try. This is the exact situation Mike Michalowicz found himself in when he was trying to grow his first company. Although it was making steady money, there was never very much left over and he was chasing customers left and right, putting in twenty-eight-hour days, eight days a week. The punishing grind never let up. His company was alive but stunted, and he was barely breathing. That’s when he discovered an unlikely source of inspiration—pumpkin farmers. After reading an article about a local farmer who had dedicated his life to growing giant pumpkins, Michalowicz realized the same process could apply to growing a business. He tested the Pumpkin Plan on his own company and transformed it into a remarkable, multimillion-dollar industry leader. First he did it for himself. Then for others. And now you. So what is the Pumpkin Plan? Plant the right seeds: Don’t waste time doing a bunch of different things just to please your customers. Instead, identify the thing you do better than anyone else and focus all of your attention, money, and time on figuring out how to grow your company doing it. Weed out the losers: In a pumpkin patch small, rotten pumpkins stunt the growth of the robust, healthy ones. The same is true of customers. Figure out which customers add the most value and provide the best opportunities for sustained growth. Then ditch the worst of the worst. Nurture the winners: Once you figure out who your best customers are, blow their minds with care. Discover their unfulfilled needs, innovate to make their wishes come true, and overdeliver on every single promise. Full of stories of other successful entrepreneurs, The Pumpkin Plan guides you through unconventional strategies to help you build a truly profitable blue-ribbon company that is the best in its field.

There Is Only Plan A is a self-help book that will revolutionize and awaken a generation seeking to develop a life full of meaning, authenticity, and purpose. Through the use of real-life stories, Plan A teaches readers how to discover their purpose and calling in life, offering mechanisms to help sustain themselves while striving to obtain their Plan A. Plan A gets to the root of negative personal issues that stand in an individual's way of becoming a complete person. Through the authenticity of lived experience, readers are taken on a journey of raw spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical truths that the author, Klay S. Williams, experienced on the journey to his Plan A. The philosophy of Plan A is that when people desire to be their very best—through extreme self-expression in any arena—Plan A is the place where peace, reality, and spirit are met, offering readers the fortitude of understanding who they were meant to be. The explorative manner in which Plan A is displayed offers significant appeal to both secular and spiritual/religious readers, who are looking for a platform to experience an invigorating journey that does not judge their belief systems, but will enhance their quality of life. Plan A operates under a very specific, clear, and appealing formula that is unique to the universal experience individuals will undergo while striving to obtain their dream. Plan A simply asks the question, “Does my life reflect who I was called to be?” The immense impact of answering the above question without certainty creates an even bigger void in the lives of most young adult to midlife individuals who are seeking to live a lifespan full of meaning and purpose. There Is Only Plan A is the resource that will provide a path to both discover and fulfill the reader's mission while here on earth. Unlike most self-help books on the market today, There Is Only Plan A provides an extensive amount of teaching experience within the “Hard Work” section of Plan A—as the journey amid discovering and fulfilling our end goal is the most challenging measure of the process. Readers will discover a vast array of identifiable stories within each chapter that range from the author's stint with homelessness; relationship betrayal; divine interventions; sexual identity; financial ruin; and various other circumstances on the way to Plan A that he experienced. Unbeknownst to us, Plan A has always been working in our lives, but has required us to recognize its call, understand its meaning, and make peace with the gift that is bestowed to us. The unlikely path of the author, as he discovered his Plan A, is an incredibly interesting story that will capture the hearts and inquisitive natures of readers. Through real life journal entries that appear before each corresponding chapter, readers will experience firsthand the raw passions of the author as he discovers his dream. While engaging in graduate theological studies at Princeton Theological Seminary (in hopes of becoming a pastor) and working at Polo Ralph Lauren to offset the cost of grad school, it was within the spiritual and fashion sectors that the author found his Plan A. The unorthodox nature of Klay's Plan A serves for creative discernment, inspired conversation, and radical change in the lives of his readers. The unconventional process illustrated in There Is Only Plan A is practical and relatable for readers in a wide variety of settings, from local taverns in New York City, to Corporate America confines, to ashrams in India, to protestant synagogues in America and other followers of thought throughout the world.
