In 1974, Donohue took a year off from driving at the height of his racing career and wrote an account of his journey from amateur to Indy 500 winner.

The Unfair Advantage: Sell with NLP! is a book for people who want new skills to influence others, who know that all selling is personal, and who see the need to sell themselves more effectively. It is for people who want to have an advantage in everything that they say, write and do. It is for YOU if you want to find an edge--an advantage--in your work life. Much of The Unfair Advantage: Sell with NLP! is based on NLP (neurolinguistic programming) skills. But NLP is much more and much less than what is seen in this book. The techniques and skills here have been fine-tuned by the author for the last 30 years for only one purpose: to help sales and marketing professionals be more effective and successful. This book will teach you how to sell YOU, understand your prospects, and lead the sales process. The Revised Edition contains two new chapters that were not included in the 2000 edition (Mindsets or Metaprogams and Handling Objections). That is the only major change in the Revised Edition other than format and pricing.

A Silicon Valley veteran and author of the bestseller High Tech Start Up reveals the nature of unfair advantage -- that holy grail for every company, the mysterious quality that separates successful businesses from the nine out of ten that fail -- and then shows how to create an unfair advantage, build it into a business plan, and use it to maximum effect. Nesheim's first book, originally self-published during Silicon Valley's wild west days in the 1990s, quickly moved from underground hit to business bestseller. He witnessed the incredible highs and lows of the Internet bubble, and he got an intimate look at why some companies weathered the storm while others went under. Now, in The Power of Unfair Advantage, Nesheim shows you how to bring the pioneer spirit to your new enterprise -- whether you are starting a new company or trying to breathe new life into an old dog. Unfair advantage is an enduring but often overlooked dynamic and a crucial aspect of any successful business endeavor. To show you how to attain unfair advantage over your competitors, he begins with a clear model: Outsource everything you are not good at, concentrate on those things that can be differentiated, and strive for a unique, consistent difference that cannot be copied. Integrating these maxims with other essential elements, he demonstrates, with dozens of case studies, how to orchestrate unfair advantage through marketing, sales, engineering, and operations. Unfair advantage can take many forms. Pager maker RIM rocketed to the top of the mobile wireless email market with Blackberry by employing an unfair advantage that it alone possessed -- pager technology and pager infrastructure. Alternately, an unfair advantage can come from a unique relationship with a strategic alliance partner, as when Flextronics pulled Handspring out of a life-threatening crisis. The Power of Unfair Advantage is an essential handbook for every manager who is responsible for introducing a new product or service and every entrepreneur and would-be who plans to start a company. Unfair advantage is here to stay -- learn how to lasso its power, rise above the competition, and build a flourishing, long-lasting business.

"Life's not fair!" You've heard it a million times--and probably said it yourself. But what if your greatest difficulties were steppingstones to a greater destiny? What if seasons of unbearable pain turned out to be pathways to unbelievable purpose? In The Unfair Advantage, pastor Aaron Burke takes a closer look at the seven unfair seasons Joseph endures in the book of Genesis and reveals how Joseph's struggles are not unlike the battles readers face today. Combining biblical truths with Pastor Aaron's insights from his years of walking with people through their biggest challenges, this book offers a message of hope and renewed strength for anyone who has battled seasons of feeling discouraged, rejected, undervalued, tempted, unfairly punished, deprived, or forgotten. The surprising reality revealed by the story of Joseph is that unfair moments and seasons of difficulty--if handled wisely--can actually be used by God for our advantage. Readers will be comforted and inspired as they encounter in a new way the dramatic story of Joseph's trials and ultimate triumph. Along the way, they'll learn how to transform adversity into advantage, endure even the most challenging moments through courage and hope rooted in faith, become aware of God's presence, peace, and promise in the midst of hardship. In The Unfair Advantage, readers who are walking through a season that seems unfair will be reminded of God's ultimate gift of favor. While their situation may seem hopeless now, they can trust that God is forging something beautiful out of the brokenness, putting purpose to their pain, righting every wrong, and building a destiny better than their greatest dreams.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I have been asked how a startup becomes so successful. I have noticed that founders and investors around the world are running into the same issues and asking me the same questions. Everyone is working hard, but some startups are succeeding while others are failing. #2 The media constantly portrays the startup world as a meritocracy, where those who deserve it succeed. But the truth is that there are still problems, barriers, and un-level playing fields in the startup world. #3 The focus of this book is not the business idea or product, but you, the founder, entrepreneur behind the business. It applies to any project you plan to lead. The simple reason is that it all starts with you. Startups at the early stage have nothing to show but you, the founder, who sets it up for success. #4 The fact that we mention investors and venture capitalists is not to suggest that every founder should be looking to raise money from them. Some businesses are better bootstrapped without investors, and kept lean. But whether or not you need to raise funding depends on your unfair advantages.
