In the 18th century, "pettifogger", "under-strapper", and "Wapping attorney" were all pejorative epithets for a certain class of disreputable lawyer. My "Bilton" solicitor forebears came from Wapping, but I expect to present sufficient evidence in these pages to acquit them of any serious charge of pettifoggery or under-strapping. This second edition has been re-formatted and expanded to include the most recent findings about the origins of the Biltons.

When my great-great-grandfather, Charles Powell, finally yielded to a long and tiresome illness on March 13th 1869, he had already been under the medical care of his nephew, Dr Josiah Taylor Powell, for several years. Dr Powell (1832-1892) was an active and popular medical practitioner who lived at a time when significant scientific and social advances were changing the whole face of the medical profession. Josiah Taylor Powell has no living descendants that I have been able to trace, and, regrettably, no portrait or photograph, nor any of his correspondence or other papers, is known to have survived. Nevertheless, he deserves to have his story told, and, to do this, I have enlisted the help of some of his colleagues and medical contemporaries.

One of the greatest challenges facing business owners globally is that they simply don''t charge enough for what they do. And this leads to all kinds of nasty problems. There has never been a better time to put an end to this self-destructive business practice once and for all. Someone Has To Be The Most Expensive, Why Not Make It You? is the culmination of Andrew Griffiths'' thirty-five-year entrepreneurial journey. This has seen him travel the world as an author, speaker and commentator, working with business owners in every corner of the planet to help them create enterprises of substance and significance. If you''re sick of not charging enough for what you do, of not having any money in the bank, of feeling the exhaustion of working incredibly hard but not getting where you want to go, then this is, without a doubt, the book you need to read - now. Written specifically for business owners, this book has a number of very clear outcomes: putting an end to the business owner struggle challenging your thinking about what you charge showing why being the cheapest is - without a doubt - the worst business strategy ever explaining why there has never been a better time to charge what you''re worth ideally, giving you the courage to become the best and most expensive at what you do. This is a concept that works, regardless of the economic conditions, the industry you may be in or your geographic location. Someone has to be the most expensive, why not make it you? But if you''re going to be most expensive, you have to be the best. It really is as simple and as complicated as that.

Annotation. Small Business book featuring a host of ideas to help improve a business.

The characteristics of successful small wins approaches are understood; however, we know little about the causes and implications of small wins failure. We examine the causes and implications of failure and success of small wins approaches in six firms in the Australian meat processing industry as they sought to improve environmental management practices and address labor conflict. The approach failed in three cases and succeeded in three, and we use these case studies to develop a theoretical process model showing the inner workings of and explaining differences between failed and successful small wins approaches. Failing firms we studied challenge the assumption that small wins approaches are low risk, as “small flops” led to the ultimate demise of the program in each case, while successful firms we observed showed how, once mastered, a small wins approach can be leveraged to address other seemingly intractable issues.
