And to create more and stronger entrepreneurs, the logic goes, you need to know what you are looking for.

Churches and other religious properties, some of them bank foreclosures, are plentiful, and stuck in a commercial purgatory. http://www.miamiherald.com/business/business-monday/job-file/story/1319536.html http://www.miamiherald.com/business/business-monday/job-file/story/1319536.html Fri, 06 Nov 2009 01:25 EST President Barack Obama signed a $24 billion economic stimulus bill into law Friday, giving tax incentives to prospective homebuyers and additional jobless benefits to those idled by the business slump. http://www.miamiherald.com/business/business-monday/job-file/story/1317939.html http://www.miamiherald.com/business/business-monday/job-file/story/1317939.html Thu, 05 Nov 2009 10:00 EST Can't pay the mortgage? You still might be able to stay in your home.

Craig Ferguson. HarperCollins. 268 pages.<p/> Acknowledged that this may seem to be a left-field choice for a biz book review but upon closer examination, maybe not. Two reasons: first, some of the best business advice comes from life itself, not just unambiguously mercantile situations. Second, in many ways, this really is a business book: Fergusons' story is an archetypal tale of the pursuit of the American dream . . . and not just in terms of achieving success by owning a house with a wife and 2.6 kids. http://www.miamiherald.com/business/columnists/richard-pachter/story/1288437.html http://www.miamiherald.com/business/columnists/richard-pachter/story/1288437.html Mon, 19 Oct 2009 01:00 EDT Healing the Wounds: Overcoming the Trauma of Layoffs and Revitalizing Downsized Corporations.

Using the left and right parts of the brain in concert? Being practical and creative? Daniel Pink and a host of other major thinkers have been tooting that horn for years. Now dubbed ``convergent and divergent thinking,'' this notion is poised to enter the mainstream -- if it's not already there. http://www.miamiherald.com/business/columnists/richard-pachter/story/1254863.html http://www.miamiherald.com/business/columnists/richard-pachter/story/1254863.html Mon, 28 Sep 2009 01:00 EDT I Love You More Than My Dog: Five Decisions That Drive Extreme Customer Loyalty in Good Times and Bad.

Say it, live it, do it. Simple. http://www.miamiherald.com/business/columnists/richard-pachter/story/1220473.html http://www.miamiherald.com/business/columnists/richard-pachter/story/1220473.html Mon, 07 Sep 2009 01:00 EDT Here's your chance to read the latest business books and review them in The Miami Herald.<p/>How it works<p/> Business books columnist Richard Pachter selects a new book for the club every month. On a first-come, first-served basis, a limited number of members can get a free copy by e-mailing rap@richardpachter.com with the member's name, address and phone number. Readers who do not get a free book in the mail are invited to buy their own copies and send their reviews to the same e-mail address. http://www.miamiherald.com/business/columnists/richard-pachter/story/1220455.html http://www.miamiherald.com/business/columnists/richard-pachter/story/1220455.html Mon, 07 Sep 2009 01:00 EDT Walk the Walk: The #1 Rule for Real Leaders. Alan Deutschman. Portfolio. 208 Pages.<p/> Each of us may be the star of our own movie, but that doesn't guarantee an intriguing plot. In a similar fashion, most war stories recounted by business leaders are dull cautionary tales rather than inspiring works offering useful examples and actionable instructions. http://www.miamiherald.com/business/columnists/richard-pachter/story/1220460.html http://www.miamiherald.com/business/columnists/richard-pachter/story/1220460.html Mon, 07 Sep 2009 01:00 EDT I loved it. Easily read. Alan Deutschman does an amazing job demonstrating throughout history to current events the importance of leading by example versus blowing hot air no matter how extreme or mundane the point. His Four Elements of Belief are a very clear and simplistic direction for someone looking to stop talking and start walking. This book is used as a filter for readers to remember to be aware of their actions as if someone is always watching. You are leading to make a change by example even if you don't mean to.
