Stop Hustling, Start Scaling: Ramp Up Your Startup’s Repeatable Revenue with The Q Framework by Scott Sambucci
About Stop Hustling, Start Scaling: Ramp Up Your Startup’s Repeatable Revenue with The Q Framework by Scott Sambucci
Hustle doesn’t scale.
As a company founder, you started with an idea—how to solve a problem, how to build a product, and most important, how to impact your customers and change your industry.
Yes, of course you’ve got to hustle. Yes, you’ve got to work hard. But hustle and hard are just table stakes to get your startup going.
To really make the impact you set out to make, you need to create repeatability and scalability – in your revenue, your sale processes and your team. This book is your roadmap.
Scott Sambucci has led three enterprise/B2B startups to their first millions in revenue – Blend in the lending industry, Altos Research in residential real estate, and Aplia in higher education. With each of these startups, the day-to-day selling and sales strategies changed each time. What remained the same across the core framework he used to build each startup’s repeatable revenue—The Q Framework.

Love Us Both
Move on. Start over.
Easy words for everyone else, but not me.
My wife died on my operating table, and moving on just isn’t going to happen.
Not until I decided to go back to the small town where I grew up.
My boy and I needed different scenery to try to reboot life.
And we did. Until one day, a beautiful woman walked into my office and everything changed.
She was from one of the oldest families in Tennessee and needed my help.
With the way she made me and my son feel, I was more than happy to offer it.
Love wasn’t supposed to show up again, and certainly not this soon.
But it did. It has.
I just hope she knows that she has to love us both. Forever.

HETTA COFFEY IS A SASSY TEXAN WITH A SNAZZY YACHT, AND SHE’S NOT AFRAID TO USE IT!
Just Add Water, winner of the National EPPIE Award for BEST MYSTERY.
Hetta Coffey is a globe-trotting civil engineer with a swath of failed multi-national affairs in her jet stream.

In spite of a spectacular ignorance of all things nautical, Hetta buys her dream boat, but a shadowy stalker, an inconvenient body, and Hetta’s own self-destructive foibles imperil her goal. Hetta Coffey brings a whole new meaning to the phrase “sink or swim!”

Wild Hare
A magical realism dystopia
“The world is coming to an end, but my personal life is okay, I guess.”
That was my response to Arne’s “How’re ya?” greeting. I pushed the oil rags and cigarette butts off the seat of his old pickup truck and climbed in. Arne is used to sour comments from me, so he just threw the truck into gear, gunned the engine and smirked, “Someone’s got a bee up his butt this morning.”
I let a half mile of clear cut rumble past the window while I thought about my shitty mood. The low-hanging, pinkish-gray smoke in the sky was getting on my nerves in a quietly grinding way like bad music or the smell of diesel oil: the kind of irritation that puts you in a crappy mood without you noticing how you got there.
Back when I was a kid, I used to enjoy the ride to town because of the way the road wound around through a mosaic of wetlands and forest and lakes. There used to be lots of moose back then too: big, somber, stupid animals. I’d kind of admired the moose because they were so much better at parenting than my folks had ever been.
Mostly gone now: the forest, the marshes around the lakes, the moose.
The ugly fake forest outside the truck windows pissed me off as much as the smoke. Everything was reminding me how screwed we all were. Then Arne asked, “What’s the point of being a fairy if you can’t just wave a magic wand and get stuff done?” Yeah, I’m a fairy. No, not that kind. I’m half-human, half-forest spirit from the wild hare clan. There used to be lots of us, but most of the full fairies have either died or moved away with the death of the forest.
I got distracted by the radio: jingle-jangle music and a lady’s voice cheerfully singing something about “making our own happiness.” I thought she was talking about growing your own weed—which I do and, yeah, it makes me happy—but she went warbling on, and I realized that it was one of those government things like “President’s Hour” and “Fly the Flag” events. An announcer burst into speech, “As America prepares for ‘Make Your Own Happiness Month of 2032’, cities and towns everywhere are planning events to celebrate local business leaders who are creating wealth and employment through free enterprise…”
Arne cut her off. “She oughta give me something to be happy about,” he muttered around his cigarette. I just looked out the window. I hadn’t been a happy kid, and I’d been a stupid, angry young man, but that was because of family stuff: I got in trouble a lot because of being half-fairy with a schizophrenic father and a mother who’d been invisible most of the time. I went through a lot of hassle at school and later with jobs until I got good at conning people and became a successful small time criminal.
It was Monday, and we were driving into town so I could help Arne go shopping. Sort of shopping. Sort of shopping meant theft, of course, because I’m a wild hare trickster who lives by the cold of “Feed, fornicate, fight.” Mostly that just meant fairy dances, girl friends, and the occasional altercation. I didn’t know, as I drove to town that day, that one bad thing would lead to another until I had to fight a whole new way to defend myself, my friends and my little part of old growth forest.

About Surgical Risk: A Kurtz and Barent Mystery (Kurtz and Barent Mysteries Book 1)
Do you love a hero who pulls no punches and never gives up?
Richard Kurtz has a reputation as a tough guy, a reputation that he considers absurd, despite the 300 pound biker on a drug induced rampage who Kurtz recently knocked out in the ER. Kurtz is a surgeon, a good surgeon, if he does say so himself (which he does, despite the old joke about how if you ask a surgeon to name the three best surgeons in the world, he’ll have trouble thinking of the other two). He has a luxury apartment on the East side, a good-looking girlfriend and a busy practice. Kurtz demands the best, from himself, from his colleagues and from his residents, and he never runs from a fight. So when former girlfriend Sharon Lee is found strangled in a hospital call room, Kurtz cannot resist getting involved…and along with police detective Lew Barent, he soon finds himself embroiled in a twisted tale of murder, betrayal and brutal revenge.

HER STORY:

With the support of my family I was able to spend more than a decade studying Homeopathy, as well as other holistic modalities. Opening a clinic gave me the experience of understanding the power of what I had learned.”

I was born in London in 1953. Since I was an only child I spent a lot of time on my own. I used to write and draw a lot. I left school without too many formal qualifications, but my drawing obviously served me well because I became a graphic designer. I had my own design company but after some years, I decided to re-invent myself. I had always loved sport, so I became a sports coach. This led to a job as a sports development officer with a local authority where I began working with hard to reach groups such as people with disabilities and mental health conditions. After retiring in 2015, I set up my own consultancy called “Ifnotme” to support disadvantaged groups. I love what I do and it gives me plenty of time to write.
I am married to Clyrene, have a daughter Emma, three lovely grandchildren and a cat called Sam.

Wanders Far lived in dangerous times and was faced with one difficult challenge after another. He was a skinny, quiet boy who was raised on the banks of a tributary of New York State’s Mohawk River, hundreds of years before colonists arrived. One lifetime was not enough for Wanders Far’s old soul.

A wise, enigmatic shaman mentored Wanders Far and helped him cultivate the supernatural visions that haunted him. His guide could only help him so far.
He set out to become a runner, carrying important messages across the lands of his people and their enemies. He ended up fulfilling a much greater destiny than he ever imagined.

Author Bio:
David Fitz-Gerald is an author. Okay, make that amateur author. If you’re looking for the atheist activist author by the same name, keep looking—this book is definitely not for you! After a chaotic day as a business person, Dave enjoys getting lost in the settings he imagines and spending time with the characters he creates. Writing historical fiction is like making paintings of the past. He loves to weave fact and fiction together, stirring in action, adventure, romance, and a heavy dose of the supernatural with the hope of transporting the reader to another time and place. He is an Adirondack 46-er, which means he has hiked all of the highest peaks in New York State, so it should not be surprising when Dave attempts to glorify hikers as swashbuckling superheroes in his writing. Wanders Far—An Unlikely Hero’s Journey is the first in a series of books in the Adirondack Spirit Series.

About The Greeks of Beaubien Street: Detroit Detective Stories Book #1 (Greektown Stories)
Warning! Adult content including violence. Nestled below the skyline of Detroit you’ll find Greektown, a few short blocks of colorful bliss, warm people and Greek food. In spite of growing up immersed in the safety of her family and their rich culture, Jill Zannos doesn’t fit in. A Detroit homicide detective, she manages to keep one foot planted firmly in the traditions started by her grandparents, while the other navigates
the most devastated neighborhoods in the city she can’t help but love. She is a no nonsense workaholic with no girlfriends, an odd boyfriend who refuses to grow up, and an uncanny intuition, inherited from her mystic grandmother that acts as her secret weapon to crime solving success. Her story winds around tales of her family and their secret laden history, while she investigates the most despicable murder of her career.
The Greeks of Beaubien Street is a modern tale of a family grounded in old world, sometimes archaic, tradition as they seek acceptance in American society. They could be any nationality, but they are Greek.

Single Dad Next Door by Cathryn Fox
About Single Dad Next Door by Cathryn Fox
Jaxon Hall gave up raising hell the day he became a dad—there’s no greater rush than seeing his little girl’s smile. Now if he could just convince his in-laws that he’s a responsible adult, fully capable of raising his motherless child.
Every girl in Rachel’s sorority wants the smoking hot mechanic next door, herself included, but a man is the last thing she needs in her life—especially a tattooed single dad with a reputation as a badass. A man like that draws attention, and a woman hiding out from an abusive ex needs to keep a low profile. But when her car breaks down and he comes to her rescue, it’s not just her spark plugs he gets firing.
Women hadn’t been on Jaxon’s list of do withouts, there just hadn’t been any energy left to even think about one—until the girl next door comes up empty on cash to pay for her car repairs and offers housekeeping and babysitting services to even the debt. It’s the perfect arrangement until #1—the in-laws mistake Rachel for his girlfriend, and #2—she moves into his home. Their agreement is hands off, business only, but being around her is a special kind of torture that quickly reminds him he’s still a man, and now, with more time on his hands, he’d finding it harder and harder to keep them off of her.

Only You by K. M. Bishop
About Only You by K. M. Bishop
Forbidden fruit is often the sweetest,
And this time, I just couldn’t lay off it.
Jacob Wynn, thick thighs, all muscle, hard, chiseled abs.
Also, the se$iest football players around and…my new client.
We know we shouldn’t do it.
We know that our relationship is strictly business,
But we just can’t resist.
I am supposed to be the doctor here, the healer.
But it is his hands that are checking my body,
His mouth that is caressing my curves and healing me,
And his eyes flirting with mine…
It’s like he is giving me a cure for all my fantasies.
And how am I supposed to say no to the best and multiple ‘O’s’ that he gives me!
Well, when you flirt with trouble, the trouble often flirts back in ways you can never have imagined…
