The Smart Cookies' Guide to Making More Dough: How Five Young Women Got Smart, Formed a Money Club, and Took Control of Their Finances - by The Smart Cookies with Jennifer Barrett
332.024 SMAR
Two years ago, five friends created the Smart Cookies Money Group when they realized that, despite good jobs, they had $35,000 in credit card debt between them and very little savings. Spurred by an episode of Oprah featuring financial advice, the women took it upon themselves to learn the basics of spending, saving, investing, and paying down debt. In one year, they paid off nearly half of their debt, saved $15,000, contributed to retirement accounts, and even began the process of buying homes. In a straightforward and accessible manner, they present their stories, and, more importantly, the steps they took to achieve their success.
Saving the World at Work: What Companies and Individuals Can Do to Go Beyond Making a Profit to Making a Difference - by Tim Sanders
658.408 SAND
According to former Yahoo CSO Tim Sanders, the business world is facing a revolution--the "Responsibility Revolution." Sanders argues that mindful consumers want to work for, invest in, and buy goods and services from companies that focus on social responsibility as well as on the bottom line. To that end, he offers concrete suggestions--and examples--for transforming corporate cultures into ones that support both community involvement and a "green" approach to day-to-day operations. Check out the book--and his website--to learn how you, and your company, can make a difference, and a profit. Don't think you can do it? Think again.
The Snowball: Warren Buffett and the Business of Life - by Alice Schroeder
B BUF SCHR
A lot of books have been written about legendary investor Warren Buffett, but for an up-to-date portrait of the life and career of the "Oracle of Omaha," author Alice Schroeder's hefty biography is a good place to start. Thanks to her extensive access to Buffett himself, Schroeder sheds new light not only on his career, business principles, and strategies, but also on his private life, a topic on which he is usually quite silent. For another biography, try Roger Lowenstein's Buffet: The Making of an American Capitalist (first published in 1995); for something by Buffett himself, try The Essays of Warren Buffett: Lessons for Corporate America.
Planet Google: How One Company's All-Encompassing Vision Is Transforming Our Lives - by Randall Stross
338.761025 STRO
Sometimes it's hard to imagine what life was like before Google, but if you're curious about the chain of events that led to the creation and rapid growth of this Internet leader or about Google's business goals and strategies, you'll want to check out this "spellbinding behind-the-scenes look" (Publishers Weekly) at the company's history--and future. Drawing on unprecedented access to Google's CEO and the heads of its newest businesses, Planet Google traces the story of the company's ambitions and influence (including such topics as its recent acquisitions and its role in reshaping business and culture) in a fair and impartial manner.
Go Green, Live Rich: 50 Simple Ways to Save the Earth and Get Rich Trying - by David Bach, with Hillary Rosner
640 BACH
If you're concerned by two major issues in the news now--climate change and finance--this book will help you learn how you can improve both situations. With 50 suggestions that will help you save the planet and save money, Go Green, Live Rich runs the gamut from simple tips (turn off your computer monitor) to more labor-intensive ones (grow your own vegetables). There's something for everyone here (how about a volunteer vacation?), and author David Bach (Start Late, Finish Rich) offers resources that will help you make a success of both your financial plan and your greener lifestyle.

Satisfied Customers Tell Three Friends, Angry Customers Tell 3,000: Running a Business in Today's Consumer-Driven World - by Pete Blackshaw
658.812 BLAC
In today's Web-connected world, consumers have far more opportunities to share their experiences in the marketplace: through blogs, video- and photo-sharing sites, social networking sites, and product review sites, experiences bad and good can be viewed by an unlimited number of existing or potential customers. If you're a forward-looking marketer or business leader wanting to establish and maintain your brand's credibility among Web-savvy customers, you'll find consumer-behavior specialist Pete Blackshaw's argument for the importance of credibility and his tips for interacting with consumers "informative, energetic and entertaining" (Publishers Weekly).

Nowhere close to quitting, legendary hedge-fund manager T. Boone Pickens has, at 80, written a book that combines memoir with business as he looks back over his years in finance and forward to the future of America's energy situation. From the corporate takeovers of the 1980s to his struggle with depression to a comeback that led to his current support of natural gas production and alternative forms of energy, Pickens has a lot to say. Don't miss his "Booneisms" either, such as "Don't rush the monkey and you'll see a better show."

September Business at Lake County Public Library
RAISING MONEY FOR YOUR SMALL BUSINESS
It is important that you set aside funds not only to start your new business, but to keep it going until it makes a profit. There are funds available to be loaned – sometimes at interest rates below the national average. The federal government can be of assistance to you, both with advice and funding through the Small Business Administration. The SBA guarantees loans granted by area banks at lower interest rates. Venture capital firms usually help a business that is already established and needs money to grow.

Predictably Irrational: The Hidden Forces That Shape Our Decisions - by Dan Ariely
330 ARIE
Ever walked by something and instantly known you had to have it--even though you'd never thought about it before? Ever wonder why something free is so hard to pass up, even if you don't need it? You wouldn't steal money, but have you taken home office supplies from your job? It's these sorts of "irrational" behaviors that author Dan Ariely assesses in Predictably Irrational. By looking at behavioral economics, Ariely explains why we spend our money the way we do, based on "guidelines" that others have set. It's a "fascinating, eye-opening read" (Publishers Weekly).

305.5234 PRIN
Wealth experts Russ Alan Prince and Lewis Schiff consider "middle-class millionaires" to be those households who have earned rather than inherited their money--and who are worth between one and ten million dollars (for a look at the super-rich, try Robert Frank's Richistan). Their book assesses the influence of these working rich and their attitudes on the U.S. economy as well as on its society, institutions, and values. If you're curious about this segment of the population--they drive much of consumer spending--check out The Middle-Class Millionaire to learn more.
