Better yet, he shows how you can use those lessons to take ownership of your life and career, earning more money than you ever thought possible.

They come from companies large and small, and from every walk of life, but all applied the principles of ownership to lead highly successful careers. In Make More, Worry Less, they share the specific secrets, lessons, and techniques they’ve discovered. Their stories are all different, but they all share one powerful thing in common: you can use them to build a more rewarding career, and a more rewarding life, starting right this minute.

How To Make? Devonshire Tea With Scones, Strawberry Jam ?and Clotted Cream (Authentic English Recipes)

How To Make? Devonshire Tea With Scones, Strawberry Jam ?and Clotted Cream (Authentic English Recipes)by Geoff WellsGeezer Guides

How To Make Devonshire Tea With Scones, Strawberry Jam and Clotted Cream
Devonshire tea is not a tea blend like Earl Grey or Orange Pekoe, it is a ritual performed everyday in small tea rooms throughout Southern England and particularly the County of Devon.

A favorite pastime for both locals and tourists this tradition should definitely be on your to-do list whenever you visit Devon.

Real English tea with milk, fresh hot scones with homemade strawberry jam and mounds of clotted cream are what is on the menu at 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
This is an occasional indulgence so don't stress over the calories - just enjoy it.

Authentic English Recipes - The Series
This series is about recipes from my childhood that I still cook today. They stand the test of time and are still as delicious today as they were when my mother and grandmother cooked them.

For most of our day to day cooking we never open a cookbook or precisely measure ingredients. We go by what feels right and the experience of cooking the same meal many times before. To create this series I had to cook everything and write the instructions down as I was doing it.

I hope you will try all the titles in the series so you can soon be cooking like a true Brit.

The Scots may have their porridge but Brits have their English Breakfast.

An English breakfast is a meal you feed a man that is going to work on the farm all day or out on the fishing boats. Lots of protein to fuel your body for a day of hard work.
Most of us don't have hard, physically demanding jobs anymore but an English Breakfast can also be an English Brunch. It makes for a great mid-morning meal on a weekend when you have time to savor the delicious flavors.

Have your yogurt and coffee during the week when that's all the time you have to eat before rushing off to the office. But, on the weekend, kick back and enjoy an old world pleasure.

Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap... and Others Don't

Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap... and Others Don'tby Jim CollinsHarperBusiness
  • good to great book, business and investing

The Challenge:
Built to Last, the defining management study of the nineties, showed how great companies triumph over time and how long-term sustained performance can be engineered into the DNA of an enterprise from the verybeginning.

But what about the company that is not born with great DNA? How can good companies, mediocre companies, even bad companies achieve enduring greatness?

The Study:
For years, this question preyed on the mind of Jim Collins. Are there companies that defy gravity and convert long-term mediocrity or worse into long-term superiority? And if so, what are the universal distinguishing characteristics that cause a company to go from good to great?

The Standards:
Using tough benchmarks, Collins and his research team identified a set of elite companies that made the leap to great results and sustained those results for at least fifteen years. How great? After the leap, the good-to-great companies generated cumulative stock returns that beat the general stock market by an average of seven times in fifteen years, better than twice the results delivered by a composite index of the world's greatest companies, including Coca-Cola, Intel, General Electric, and Merck.

The Comparisons:
The research team contrasted the good-to-great companies with a carefully selected set of comparison companies that failed to make the leap from good to great. What was different? Why did one set of companies become truly great performers while the other set remained only good?

Over five years, the team analyzed the histories of all twenty-eight companies in the study. After sifting through mountains of data and thousands of pages of interviews, Collins and his crew discovered the key determinants of greatness -- why some companies make the leap and others don't.

The Findings:
The findings of the Good to Great study will surprise many readers and shed light on virtually every area of management strategy and practice. The findings include:

  • Level 5 Leaders: The research team was shocked to discover the type of leadership required to achieve greatness.
  • The Hedgehog Concept: (Simplicity within the Three Circles): To go from good to great requires transcending the curse of competence.
  • A Culture of Discipline: When you combine a culture of discipline with an ethic of entrepreneurship, you get the magical alchemy of great results. Technology Accelerators: Good-to-great companies think differently about the role of technology.
  • The Flywheel and the Doom Loop: Those who launch radical change programs and wrenching restructurings will almost certainly fail to make the leap.

“Some of the key concepts discerned in the study,” comments Jim Collins, "fly in the face of our modern business culture and will, quite frankly, upset some people.”

Perhaps, but who can afford to ignore these findings?

Five years ago, Jim Collins asked the question, "Can a good company become a great company and if so, how?" In Good to Great Collins, the author of Built to Last, concludes that it is possible, but finds there are no silver bullets. Collins and his team of researchers began their quest by sorting through a list of 1,435 companies, looking for those that made substantial improvements in their performance over time. They finally settled on 11--including Fannie Mae, Gillette, Walgreens, and Wells Fargo--and discovered common traits that challenged many of the conventional notions of corporate success. Making the transition from good to great doesn't require a high-profile CEO, the latest technology, innovative change management, or even a fine-tuned business strategy. At the heart of those rare and truly great companies was a corporate culture that rigorously found and promoted disciplined people to think and act in a disciplined manner. Peppered with dozens of stories and examples from the great and not so great, the book offers a well-reasoned road map to excellence that any organization would do well to consider. Like Built to Last, Good to Great is one of those books that managers and CEOs will be reading and rereading for years to come. --Harry C. Edwards
