Summary
I teach performance measurement subject
for my undergraduate students.
I know what I teach is not always perfect
since they look confused quite often.
I know why they are confused,
because they have no working experience at all.
And I was not really amused
to see them sleep, I recalled.
Then I thought I should show them good examples,
to make them understand.
I am not quite humble,
to say that this is a very good plan.
Instead of using examples of the companies,
which they know nothing about,
I instead use our lives’ stories,
Something that makes them shout.
These normal life examples, you can guess,
turn out to be my new books.
I called it “the last jigsaw piece for success”,
I really want you to have a look.

The Impact
Readers of this book will have very limited risk but unlimited gain. The technique proposed in this book might help readers achieve their desired goals. The worst thing that can happen is only when they read it and do not act upon what is suggested in this book or already act but fail for some reasons. In both cases, it causes no harm to those readers at all (except their money for contribution, which is very little comparing to what they might gain).
I hope that if the project is successful. Not only it will help readers to be successful, but also will it inspire other lecturers to do the same and hence will benefit all of their students. You can be part of it.
Risks & Challenges
The funding will only be an obstacle that I have now. However I am quite certain that with all your helps, this barrier can be overcome.
Other Ways You Can Help
I do not have much promotional budget so if you cannot contribute (or even you can), I would appreciate if you can share this campaign to your friends via your social media. Thank you very much.
