With increased movements of people around the world, the role of transnational economic activity is becoming ever more significant. Yet little is understood about the motivations and contribution of those who return to their homeland to undertake entrepreneurial activity. The Diaspora and Returnee Entrepreneurship analyzes the role that the diaspora play when returning as entrepreneurs to their homeland. Nick Williams investigates "returnee entrepreneurs," or people who have moved away from their home country, lived as part of the diaspora, and later returned home to live, invest, or both. Based on exhaustive research, this book examines the motivations and activities of these returnee entrepreneurs coming back to challenging homeland economies. Williams draws on evidence from the post-conflict economies of Bosnia, Herzegovina, Kosovo, and Montenegro, all of which are characterized by relatively weak institutional environments. His analysis shows how return to complex environments is often not based on perceived profit opportunities but is due to an emotional attachment informing investment decisions. Exploring questions of isolation versus assimilation, institutional involvement, and personal networking, the book covers more than just the policy approaches that extract higher levels of remittances and studies broad and varied approaches being used by governments around the world, specifically those in post-conflict economies. Through an in-depth study of the dynamics of return and entrepreneurship, this book shows that concerted efforts need to be made to improve perceptions of state political institutions among the diaspora to secure further assimilation, investment, and prosperity. Williams proves that by understanding the challenges and opportunities associated with diaspora return entrepreneurship, more effective strategies can, and should, be put in place.

For many of us, the word 'power' conjures up disturbing feelings of control and dominance, of winning at all costs - and often at the expense of others. This book reveals the basis of a different kind of power - a power that does not rely on winners or losers, but on a love that feeds our soul and a faith that frees us from the need to control.

An illustrated history of denim branding from the 1870 to modern contemporary denim brands, through archival images and contemporary photography. A pair of jeans is not considered complete without patches, rivets, buttons, and other trims. The existence of such design elements is not questioned because they are seen as the standard. Denim Branded deconstructs every such element that goes into branding a pair of jeans. These elements are a jeans' identity, its source code, a marker from which to discover the jean’s provenance. Through beautiful and inspirational photography, authors Nick Williams and Jenny Corpuz tell the fascinating and sometimes surprising history of denim branding from the 1870s to modern day. Primary source materials for this book come from the historical archive departments of Levi Strauss & Co., Lee Jeans, Wrangler, Carhartt, and Cone Mills, as well as some of the best contemporary denim brands of today, including Rogue Territory, Dawson Denim, Denham, Kings of Indigo, Endrime, Evisu, Eat Dust, Butcher of Blue, and Tellason.

amount of your time is taken up dealing with customers face to face and having more overheads, in comparison to a business that is purely online.There are five core areas to a business: Marketing, sales, operations, delivery and finance. Typically, most business owners are great at the operations and delivery. With all your other priorities, marketing can often be neglected; but a new customer could be worth a huge amount to your business. Often, we spend hardly any time marketing our services to those prospects to get them to buy in the first place and then neglect to build on that relationship when they do become a customer. But building a relationship with your customer is vital to success. It's what Nick calls 'customer relationship marketing'. So, what does that mean? Well, it's not just about marketing your business to get in a new enquiry, it's then continuing to market and nurture your relationship when they are a customer, so you encourage them to buy more from you and refer others to do the same.Nick wrote this book to share ideas that he and his wife have implemented in their businesses and with their clients in the hope that it will encourage you to do the same. The majority of the concepts in here are easy to implement and can be done very quickly. You can either read this book page by page or jump to a section that you've already started work on. This book isn't a guarantee of success though; nothing will happen unless you implement these concepts fully into your business and make marketing a key priority for your growth and success.

Nick and his wife Jenna are on a mission to help free service-based business owners from becoming a slave to their business by automating their marketing, sales and customer service so they have more time to spend doing the things they love.
