Businesses are predominant in capitalist economies, where most of them are privately owned and administered to earn profit to increase the wealth of their owners. Businesses may also be not-for-profit or state-owned. A business owned by multiple individuals may be referred to as a company, although that term also has a more precise meaning.

Giveaways The Why Not Advantage: How Small Probabilities Create Outsized Outcomes by Sanjay Manandhar Release date: Jul 14, 2026 PROBABILITY IS PERSONAL.

We are surrounded by data meant to ground us in reality: Nine out of ten startups fail. Most career pivots stall. High-stakes dreams are for the lucky few. But as entrepreneur and technologist Sanjay Manandhar reveals, these numbers describe groups, not individuals. They are descriptive of the past, not prescriptive of your future. Manandhar makes the case that the most important decisions in life-a career pivot, a startup, a long-shot application-are not like flipping a coin a thousand times. They are singular, subjective events where your variables are the ones that matter most. In The Why Not Advantage, you will discover: The Why Not Equation: A practical mnemonic (P(success) = B x P x C x A) to multiply your personal odds.

Activation Energy: How to push through the natural bands of resistance that stop most people just before a breakthrough. The people who change the world aren't the ones who calculate the odds. They are the ones who decide to act despite them. This book is your permission to dismantle the fear of risk and start asking the question that changes everything: Why Not? ...more View Details » Enter Giveaway Format: Giveaway ends in: a Availability: 100 copies available, 246 people requesting Giveaway dates: Aug 03 - Aug 17, 2026 Countries available: U.S. Time Freedom by Brian Herriot (Goodreads Author) Release date: Sep 15, 2026 We are giving away 10 first edition signed copies of my book Time Freedom by Brian Herriot.
