Excerpt

 

I would like to share with you a principle that I apply every day in my personal and business life: the Japanese concept of kaizen. It’s a philosophy that emphasises making consistent, incremental changes to improve processes, procedures,  products and, perhaps most importantly, oneself.

The importance of continual improvement in business is crucial to success, as it fosters innovation, enhances efficiency and builds resilience. This boosts staff morale,  increases customer satisfaction and retention, and leads to greater profitability.

Applying the principle of continual improvement in our personal lives – by making small incremental changes by prioritising our health – enhances our overall state of well-being and long-term vitality.

When we live a life of continual improvement, we are consistently developing new skills and working on important relationships. This ultimately amplifies our sense of fulfilment and happiness.

If continual improvement were a superhero, its arch nemesis would be complacency. Complacency is the state of being self-satisfied and unconcerned with improving the status quo. Complacency’s friends would be laziness,  denial, procrastination and mediocrity.

Complacency is disastrous for a business. When a company becomes complacent, it stops innovating, fails to recognise market shifts and loses its competitive edge. Failing to continually advance technology and refine customer services often results in a business being outpaced by more agile competitors, leading to declining sales and market share.

In our personal lives, complacency leads to stagnation and missed opportunities. Without the drive to better ourselves, our relationships become strained, our health deteriorates and challenges are left unmet.

Continual improvement requires curiosity, dedication,  resilience and actively working to avoid complacency. It's a principle that I have implemented in my own life and business endeavours.

During my gruelling battle with opioid addiction, there were many days when it felt like I was losing the fight.  Upon reflection, it was the principle of kaizen that inspired me to persevere until the day I would finally be free from this affliction.

I hope that my book inspires you to embrace the principle of continual improvement, to challenge the status quo, to set small incremental goals, and to take the first step towards achieving them.

 

 

About the Author

Antonio Iozzo is a distinguished entrepreneur and business leader known for his exceptional journey from humble beginnings to achieving remarkable commercial success. As the CEO and founder of IUM, Ãœber Property Developments, Body Action Gym, and The 11th Floor Rooftop Restaurant and Cocktail Bar, Antonio leads a R3 billion conglomerate, spanning insurance, construction, hospitality, and the health and wellness sectors.

Antonio's expertise lies in his ability to transform challenges into opportunities, demonstrating an unwavering commitment to continuous growth and making a meaningful impact. His journey began when he had to leave school in Grade 11 to support his family after his father was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Despite numerous setbacks, including a failed restaurant venture, Antonio’s resilience shone through as he ventured into the insurance industry, ultimately founding his own brokerage in 1999.

In 2018, Antonio had a near-death accident on his Ducati Panigale superbike at a notoriously dangerous South African racetrack. Despite sustaining significant injuries, including a shattered T7 vertebra, 14 broken ribs, and punctured lungs, medical professionals were incredulous that Antonio had not been left paralysed.

During a series of operations in South Africa and the United States, he was prescribed OxyNorm, the opioid painkiller commonly known as Oxy in the US, where it's been linked to millions of overdose-related deaths. No one in the medical fraternity ever warned Antonio of its highly addictive nature.

Over the next five years, this highly driven businessman grappled with a dual existence. His once magnificent life, built from rags to riches, began to unravel as he consumed copious amounts of Oxy to manage his debilitating back pain, alternating with even more addictive Suboxone to withdraw.

As he expanded his multibillion-rand business empire, Antonio found it increasingly challenging to conceal his inner turmoil. Finally, in a mammoth surge of determination and willpower, Antonio went to battle with the opioid dragon and triumphed.

His incredible story is a testament to his robust spirit and refusal to ever give up. Today he is free of his addiction. As an inspiring leader who believes in leading by example, Antonio continues to motivate his team and countless others with his mantra: “Strive for continual improvement in everything that you do.” His journey serves as an inspiration, proving that with resilience and determination, any challenge can be conquered.

EXCERPT

 

Science is a critical element of how I explain things. As a physician, science is how I heal. Sometimes people describe miracles that  they don’t understand, but as a physician, there is a logical medical  explanation. I advocate for people to use modern medicine in their healing. I  am not just a physician, I am also a patient.

At 43, during the summer of 2022, I received the distressing news that I  had again developed head and neck cancer. I went through it in 2017.  Surprisingly, this was not a recurrence of my previous cancer but a completely  new one on the opposite side. It is an exceptionally rare occurrence,  happening only to about one in every 2,000-3,000 individuals. Unfortunately,  luck was not on my side this time. My daughter witnessed the unsettling sight  of her father undergoing surgery, resulting in matching scars on both sides of  my neck, five years apart. Surgeries, chemotherapy, radiation, enduring pain,  and significant weight loss consumed our summer. Our eagerly anticipated  summer bucket list, which we create every year, had to be put on hold. The  many conversations about life I had envisioned having with my daughter now  hang in uncertainty. The amount of time we have left to spend together on this  Earth is unclear. Little did I realize that this seemingly unbearable situation  would transform into the most profound blessing of my life.

I completed surgery in mid-July; technically, my surgeon completed  the surgery. I just took a long nap. Typical man, sleeping on the job while a  talented woman does the work! My surgeon is kind, intelligent and skilled. I  recommend her to anyone. She’s so skilled I am helping her pay off her med  school loans, one surgery at a time, every few years. She is going to need to  name an exam room after me!

The surgery or nap was a tough one to wake up from, a lot of hurting but  also a lot of healing. The kind nurse would give me pain meds to help and heal me with empathy and kindness. We talked about families. She pulled up a song  I asked her to. It comforted me, Peace Be Still by Hope Darst(2). It reminded me  of that day in the pool with my infant daughter. “I don’t want to be afraid every  time I face the waves.” I was hurting, but the voice sang, “I’m not going to be  afraid, Cause these waves are only waves, Peace be still, Say the words and I  will.” Years ago, I was trying to help my daughter be calm and understand she  should face those waves when she went under the water. I wanted her to hear  my voice and be calm. Now I was the scared child, being told I could face these  waves. Just to be still. As I lay in pain, that song and conversation about life  had as much to do with easing my pain as the pain meds.

Ten nights later, the most powerful healing in my life would occur.

 

 

About the Author

Neal Boeder is an internal medicine physician, a two-time cancer survivor, and a dedicated father living in Minnesota. Born with a genetic heart condition, growing up on a farm and then living most of the past 20 years in the Twin Cities metro area has shaped his worldview. It allows him to relate to both “blue collar “and “white collar” worlds with humor and empathy. He values remaining humble, humorous, helping others, and the importance of hard work which his parents taught him.

After experiencing a miracle during his second cancer journey, Neal felt compelled to share his insights on healing. His debut book David Walking With Grace is a candid and refreshingly humorous account of his journey of recovery, science, and faith. He gives readers insight into all dimensions of “healing,” including the physical, spiritual, emotional, and social aspects. He writes through the lens of physician, patient, and parent. He explores a wide range of conditions and experiences, from medical aspects such as cancer, pain, depression, and addiction, to life challenges such as divorce, societal divides, and abuse.

Neal hopes to help individuals, families, and society find ways to heal—to create a better world for future generations. Beyond his professional work, Neal volunteers his time, talents, and treasure into efforts and causes supporting children in third-world countries, as well as a diverse group of people in difficult circumstances in the U.S.

He prioritizes raising his daughter. She is a major inspiration for his writing. Neal hopes she leaves the world a little better than she found it. Being born during a total eclipse of the sun added a touch of cosmic wonder to his life. His genetic heart condition adds a reminder of our mortality. Neal has worked at multiple top hospitals and renowned healthcare systems. Neal enjoys spending time with his family and friends. With a wide range of interests, his favorite aspect of his hobbies is getting to know people and their personal stories. During rare downtime alone he works on self-growth, enjoys comedy, and enjoys watching a variety of sports.

Grim’s phone wouldn’t stop ringing.

He slapped it silent and groaned, pulling a pillow over his throbbing head. Jesus fuck, how was it light out already? Whatever, he didn’t give a shit. Whoever was calling him could fuck off. At his side, Kit murmured, nestling closer. Her bent leg skated up the back of his thigh and hooked over his hip.

Mmm. He rolled to face her, and she snuggled against his chest with a sigh of contentment. Damn, she smelled good. He inhaled, drawing her scent into his lungs. Something about it eased his head. Woman just made him feel better all around. His fingers idled through her hair, down her back to cup her juicy ass, morning wood going rigid as it brushed against her slick core.

“You dreamin’ about me, baby?” he murmured, still groggy, running the length of his cock along her slit and notching himself at her entrance.

“Maybe.” Her hands skimmed up his chest to lace around his neck. She tipped her hips, and Grim nudged into her, groaning as he sank home. Fuck, she was tight. Kit gave a soft cry, her nails rasping over his shoulders. “Maybe not.”

His eyes flew open; a spike of jealousy shooting through him. He pinned her beneath him, growling, a hand rising to stroke her throat. “That right? You wanna clue me in to who the fuck you’re thinkin’ about while I’m dick deep inside your pussy?”

She shrugged, not intimidated in the least and so sinfully fucking sexy…

-- brat -- Darke muttered.

She is. Grim bared his teeth in anticipation. “You want that ass spanked, Kitten?” He twined his fingers with hers, raising her arms up over her head, slowly pistoning his hips between her spread thighs. “‘Cause sass like that? You’re just asking to be punished.”

“Am I?” Her lips parted at the snap of his hips, lust darkening her gaze. The scent of her heat thickened the air. Christ, the mating pheromones she was putting off were so ripe he could taste citrus and cinnamon.

“You are.” He growled again, some deep, primal need waking. The urge to sate it, to fill her with his seed and make her his, thrummed through his being. He teased her lips, nipping at them. “You gonna be this sassy when my baby’s in your belly?”

She bit back a smile. “Probably?”

Grim chuckled. Goddamn, he fucking loved --

A series of texts pinged on his phone. He shot a glare in its direction. Deuce? The fuck did he want? Kit’s mouth traced Grim’s jugular, nipping and diverting his attention. Mmm. His lips claimed hers, her scent Manna on his tongue, sheathing himself in the hot velvet of her cunt over and over again.

She panted, arching up, and he latched onto her breast, sucking its pebbled tip into his mouth. Christ, she was fucking perfect. He drove his cock into her wet heat, bottoming out and dragging back against that spot deep inside her. “Oh God, Grim! Please, I can’t…” She gasped, cried out. Her eyelids fluttered, core convulsing, demanding…

He thrust into her again, tingle zinging the length of his spine, balls drawing up, cock impossibly hard, spurting, emptying himself to fill her. He buried his face in the crook of her neck, groaning, pressing deep. “Goddamn, that’s it. Fucking take it --”

BAM BAM BAM

He lifted his head. The hell?

BAM BAM. “Grim!”

Deuce was at the door. Shit, didn’t he just try to call?

“Sec!” Grim yelled over his shoulder, then turned back to look down at Kit. She watched him with hooded eyes, her lips bee-stung and a sheen of sweat glossing her skin. Goddamn, she was fucking beautiful. He trailed his knuckles down her throat, just wanting to --

BAM BAM BAM. “Dude! Seriously, we got problems.”

When didn’t they? Grim sighed, all that banging racketing through his temples. He gave Kit a quick kiss. “Don’t fucking move. I’m not done with you.”

Fantasy Feature: The Maker of Worlds by David Litwack #blogtour #giveaway #fantasy #bookreview #rabtbooktours @DavidLitwack @RABTBookTours

 



Fantasy

Date Published: 05-22-2024

Publisher: Evolved Publishing


 

If you had the chance to remake the world, what kind of world would you choose?

When tragedy strikes Lucas Mack's young life, he desperately yearns to escape its sorrow, and takes an improbable leap through the mythical maelstrom. Rather than splashing down on the far side like his neighbors, he's transported to a magical realm where he has the power to redefine not only who he is, but the world in which he resides.

As he stumbles about trying to find his way, he meets Mia, an equally troubled fellow pilgrim. With the help of a mystical guide and an aging wizard, they navigate the enchanted land while learning to control their newfound powers. Yet this realm is more complex than they expected, with seasoned sorcerers who've been corrupted by the sinister side of magic.

Limited by natural law and seduced by magic's power, they are tested as never before. Will the gift of magic bring renewed hope or drive them to the edge of the void? 


 






Review

Get lost in a new world with Lucas.

This was glorious, fantastical, and full of adventure and action.

I thoroughly enjoyed the magic system and the world Litwack has created. It was all-consuming and easy to picture in my head.

A super smooth writing style that is easy to follow and get lost in.

A wonderful fantasy.


About the Author

The urge to write first struck at age sixteen when working on a newsletter at a youth encampment in the woods of northern Maine. It may have been the wild night when lightning flashed at sunset followed by the northern lights rippling after dark. Or maybe it was the newsletter's editor, a girl with eyes the color of the ocean. But he was inspired to write about the blurry line between reality and the fantastic.

Using two fingers and lots of white-out, he religiously typed five pages a day throughout college and well into his twenties. Then life intervened. He paused to raise two sons and pursue a career, in the process -- and without prior plan -- becoming a well-known entrepreneur in the software industry, founding several successful companies. When he found time again to daydream, the urge to write returned.

David now lives in the Great Northwest. He no longer limits himself to five pages a day and is thankful every keystroke for the invention of the word processor.

Memoir Feature: My Second Life by Simon Yeats #memoir #blogtour #nonfiction #rabtbooktours @RABTBookTours



Memoir

Date Published:   July 5, 2023

 

 

 

We all have two lives. We only get to experience living in the second after we realize we only have just one.

Simon Yeats had his first real scare in life when he was attacked by a kangaroo when he was seven years old. His first brush with the cliff-face edge of death came when he was 12. His father drove his family down the dangerous, 4WD only Skipper's Canyon dirt road in New Zealand in a rented minivan.

Including the occasions he was almost involved in two different plane flight crashes, in the same night, there have been at least a half dozen more times when the author has come within a moment's inattention of being killed.

However, none of those frightening incidents compare to what he experiences after his son is abducted to South America.

This memoir is the story of how Simon used the traumatic experiences of his life to give him strength to forge on during an incomprehensible 13 year fight to be a father to his son.


What did it take for him to get to his second life?

It took him to truly understand what fear is.

 


Review

Wow, this really pulls at the heartstrings. It's every parent's worst nightmare come to life and reading about it was quite difficult.

One striking feature of this memoir is how well-written it is. Though this is apparently his narrative debut, Yeats skillfully blends flashbacks from the past into present life. The result is a powerful bond between author and reader.

My Second Life is an inspirational story that reminds us that in a cold world, some experiences change us.


About the Author

Simon Yeats has lived nine lives, and by all estimations, is fast running out of the number he has left. His life of globetrotting the globe was not the one he expected to lead. He grew up a quiet, shy boy teased by other kids on the playgrounds for his red hair. But he developed a keen wit and sense of humor to always see the funnier side of life.

With an overwhelming love of travel, a propensity to find trouble where there was none, and being a passionate advocate of mental health, Simon’s stories will leave a reader either rolling on the floor in tears of laughter, or breathing deeply that the adventures he has led were survived.

No author has laughed longer or cried with less restraint at the travails of life.
