You don't need to be university educated, have money, be creative,
or even have an idea to get rich. You just need to be willing to
break the rules. How to be a Capitalist Without Any Capital will
teach you how to be a modern opportunist - investor, entrepreneur,
or side hustler - by breaking these four golden rules of the old
guard: 1. Focus on one skill: Wrong. Don't cultivate one great
skill to get ahead. In today's business world, success goes to the
multitaskers. 2. Be unique: Wrong. The way to get rich is not by
launching a new idea but by aggressively copying others and then
adding your own twist. 3. Focus on one goal: Wrong. Focus instead
on creating a system to produce the outcome you want, not just
once, but over and over again. 4. Appeal to the masses: Wrong. The
masses are broke ($4k average net worth in America?). Let others
cut a trail through the jungle so you can peacefully walk in and
capitalize on their hard work. By rejecting these defunct rules and
following Nathan Latka's unconventional path, you can copy other
people's ideas shamelessly, bootstrap a start-up with almost no
funding, invest in small local businesses for huge payoffs, and
reap all the benefits.
How would you like to increase the amount of money you have to
spare without doing any extra work? So much of what we hear about
personal finance is confusing, time-consuming or a lot of hassle.
Here, the authors promise that with some very small, simple changes
to how you manage your money, you can vastly improve your financial
outlook. Each chapter covers a single common personal finance
topic, and explains how you can make better choices in this area,
the amount you can expect to save over a year, the time it will
take to follow the tip, and a star rating for the complexity or
'hassle factor' (one star being the easiest and fastest, five stars
requiring the most commitment). Personal finance experts Charlie
Weston and Karl Deeter see every day how too many of us pay over
the odds, get ripped off or simply don't maximise the money we
have. Here they share all the money-saving tips and tricks they
have garnered over the years. It may seem hard to believe, but each
chapter has a value, and if you were to use them all to their
fullest extent, this book can save you up to EURO25,000.
Following in the rich tradition of Napoleon Hill's "Think and Grow
Rich," Dr. Ken Odiwe, himself a rags to riches New American
Millionaire, continues to explore the secrets that self-made
millionaires share.
As you will soon discover, many self-made millionaires started out
with much less than you have. In fact, the interesting people you
will meet here came to America with nothing more than a few meagre
belongings, a few bucks in their pockets, and a burning desire to
succeed.
They are affectionately called the "New American Millionaires" by
Dr. Ken.
Some of them you will be familiar with already although you may
not be aware of their early struggles. People like Jerry Yang of
Yahoo fame, Elon Musk who revolutionized online purchasing with
Paypal, Andrew Grove, co-founder of computer chip giant Intel, and
Sergey Brin, cofounder of the world's premiere search engine giant,
Google.
Others you will learn from include people such as Vinod Khosla,
Ric Fulop, Henry Wong, Masoud Kermani, Gershon Mader, Saeed Amidi,
Naren Gupta, and many others.
In "The New American Millionaires" you will explore the mysteries
of becoming a millionaire as you follow the path laid out for you
by these New American Millionaires, the inner qualities and mindset
of such wunderkinds, the "11 Success Traits" they have in common,
the sound logic behind the "New American Millionaire-Model" and the
paint-by-the-numbers tips to creating your own financial "Tipping
Point."
Dr. Ken's 'shoot from the hip' no nonsense style gives you the
nuts and bolts tactics and strategies you need to get started on
the road to becoming a successful millionaire entrepreneur in the
21st century. What this offers you is a key to unlock a bright new
future for yourself.

Shortly after most novice traders discover how trading works and
begin to realize that they have the potential to make unlimited
amounts of money in the financial markets, they start dreaming the
near-impossible dream. They fantasize about buying that condo in
Boca Raton for their parents or surprising their son with a
brand-new car on his 16th birthday. They even begin to imagine
themselves opening their own trading firm or milling about the pit
of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, lobbying against other
professional traders for the perfect entry into a
once-in-a-lifetime trade. But then ... they watch the markets lurch
in wildly unpredictable ways, lose their shirts in a few live
trades, and then freeze in their tracks, wondering if they will
ever be able to consistently trade in a manner that can even
loosely be defined as "profitable." To be sure, becoming a
full-time, professional trader, working at a proprietary trading
firm, or managing the trading activity of a hedge fund may sound
like the perfect career, but it's all too easy for beginner traders
to overestimate their trading abilities, underestimate the
movements of the markets, and find themselves in a financial hole
of epic proportions after a few bad trades. So what does it really
take to make a living in the markets? Tim Bourquin, co-founder of
Traders Expo and the Forex Trading Expo and founder of
TraderInterviews.com, and freelance writer and editor Nick Mango
set out to answer that exact question in Traders at Work, a unique
collection of over 20 interviews with some of the world's most
successful professional traders, from at-home hobbyists who have
opened their own firms to those working at hedge funds, on
proprietary trading desks, and in exchange pits. What mistakes did
Anne-Marie Baiynd make early in her career? What does Michael Toma
wish he had known about trading? What trading strategies work best
for Linda Raschke? How does John Carter remain cool, calm, and
collected when the markets are sending mixed signals? And how did
Todd Gordon make the transition from part-time to full-time trader?
Bourquin and Mango ask all of these questions and more in Traders
at Work and in doing so reveal insider insights on what it takes to
be a successful trader from those who are living that dream.
Fascinating, compelling, and filled with never-before-told stories
from the front lines of the trading arena, Traders at Work is
required reading for anyone who has ever asked themselves if they
have what it takes to trade for a living.
The long-term future of the American Social Security system which
provides retirement, disability, and survivor benefits to millions,
is uncertain. This is triggering big concerns for many workers who
are paying into the system and need to make decisions about their
retirement. This book features real-world situations around Social
Security and Medicare to help financial professionals provide
better advise to their clients on their personal financial plans.
Key topics include: What Medicare will and will not do Managing
Medicare gaps Analyzing the wide menu of Social Security benefits
Social Security benefits for workers and families: retirement,
survivor, disability, and death benefit Tax impact of Social
Security premiums and benefits Impact of the 3.8 percent Medicare
surtax on investment income Recent changes to the Medicare law
'Making money is a knack, a knack that can be acquired. And if
someone like me can become rich, then so can you - no matter what
your present circumstances. Here is how I did it and what I learned
along the way.' So writes Felix Dennis, who believes that almost
anyone of reasonable intelligence can become rich, given sufficient
motivation and application. How To Get Rich is a distillation of
his business wisdom. Primarily concerned with the step-by-step
creation of wealth, it ruthlessly dissects the business failures
and financial triumphs of 'a South London lad who became rich
virtually by accident'. Part manual, part memoir, part primer, this
book is a template for those who are willing to stare down failure
and transform their lives. Canny, infuriating, cynical and generous
by turns, How To Get Rich is an invaluable guide to 'the
surprisingly simple art of collecting money which already has your
name on it'.
What Does Money Mean to You? Have you decided that money is more
valuable than you? "Money is never the problem in our lives," says
Gary Douglas. "It's about what we're willing to receive. And what
we're willing to receive is just a choice." What are you choosing
to receive? Are you choosing to have money in your life? What if
generating money and having money was fun and joyful? What if, in
having fun and joy with money, you receive more of it? What would
that be like? Money follows joy; joy does not follow money. Do you
only generate enough money to "get by?" Have you made having money
unattainable? What if you could generate obscene amounts of wealth
easily and joyfully? Most programs about money deal with saving or
investing; they do not address how to make money a reality in your
life. Right Riches for You contains a unique set of practical tools
and energetic processes you can use to unlock the areas of your
life where you limit the amount of money you can have and receive.
The Right for You tools empower you to change your financial
situation with ease and permanence. It's simply a choice. What are
you choosing?
Who knew frugality could be so much fun? Australians are amongst
the wealthiest people on the planet, but for some reason we don't
like to think or talk about money. Once upon a time, thrift and
frugality were celebrated as virtues - not anymore. When did
'frugal' become such a dirty word? It's time to reclaim it! When
you respect and understand money, it almost magically transforms
itself into something that grows exponentially. In The Joyful
Frugalista, Money Magazine's Serina Bird shares myriad practical
tips for saving money in small ways every day for a better,
brighter future. Discover inside:
* Ideas and resources for saving on everything from energy bills to
weddings, clothing and eating out
* Clever ways to cut down your waste
* Tips for embracing the joy of minimalism
* Ways to wring every drop of pleasure from the money you have
* Challenges to help you live life better, including how to feed your
family well on $50 per week. The Joyful Frugalista is the essential
handbook to living frugally, mindfully and with real joy on any budget.

“Navigating Success” (published by Authoritize) has been
written with entrepreneurs in mind. “The book is utterly
practical“ she says. “I built a million-pound business from
scratch and experience has taught me that anyone who possesses the
right qualities and adopts a ‘wealth mindset’ can succeed.”
As a family therapist, psychologist, and author, Natalia Kobylkina
has gained international fame. Throughout her career, she has
helped people from over 150 countries. This won her the award
“Most Influential Person on Social Media for 2018.” Now in
living in London, Natalia has recognised that there is a huge need
to help women reflect on their current attitudes towards money,
eliminate beliefs and behaviours that no longer serve their
financial success. It might be that money is not the real problem,
but our attitude towards it.
Endowed with the authority to enforce justice, government is a
necessary prerequisite to human flourishing. Citizens rightfully
bear the responsibility to contribute to the existence of just
government through the rendering of taxes. Because tax policy is
also a reflection of values, citizens in a democratic society
should be concerned with how taxes are collected and spent. In Real
Tax Burden: More than Dollars and Cents, Alan Viard and Alex Brill
explain everything you need to know to understand taxes in America
today. The authors describe who pays what and why, the implications
of the current system, and provide a vision for reform that is
simple, effective, and consistent with our values.

and provide a game plan for tackling complex like estate planning,
Medicare planning, and nursing homes. Most importantly, it will
help bridge the communication barrier between parents and adult
children that can make the process so much more difficult than it
needs to be. Among the topics covered include Personal Finance 101:
The Senior Years: The essential definitions and workings of the
myriad investment options and financial requirements your parents
will deal with in retirement. The Talk: The one, all-encompassing
discussion every child needs to have with every parent at some
point. The Move: The hunt for a quality home. How do you research
nursing homes? What should you be looking for? And how do you
compare costs and how are your parents assets factored into the
mix? Understanding Medicare. Elder Fraud: How to look for tell-tale
signs that your parents have been victimized. At a time when the
nation prepares for the pending retirement of the massive Baby
Boomer generation, this book will provide the comprehensive map you
will need to navigate the breadth of financial issues, while
