Have you ever wondered how wealthy people actually made their first million? Here is a simple, easy-to-follow book that shows how various people have made their money in their own unique way, helping you to find a method that will assist you in making your first million and gaining financial freedom. We would all like to reach a stage where we are able to live off the income from our savings and investments. Sadly, very few people ever get there. But now there is help at hand: this highly accessible book is aimed at anyone who wants to learn how to make their first million in savings. It provides real examples of ordinary people who have reached their financial goals and explains how you can do the same, and offers practical ways of setting goals and keeping yourself motivated to achieve them, especially in tough times. How To Make Your First Million furnishes people from all walks of life with practical information on how to achieve financial freedom in a range of different ways, and shows that it is possible for everyone to be financially free.
We all make plans, set goals and enthusiastically imagine a better future. Unfortunately, most people never achieve their goals, whether they be personal or financial. Just like health goals, wealth goals have a material impact on people’s lives. There is no shortage of good advice, personal finance books and well-worn practices, so the question is: Why can’t people change? We know what to do, but then inexplicably don’t seem to do it. What keeps tripping us up? Many of our money troubles are caused by behavioural traps that keep us locked in a cycle. For some people, this means underspending, even though they have enough money. For others, it is the habit of overspending, even when it causes emotional and financial harm to loved ones. Both of these are deep-seated emotional drivers that can make people feel trapped in a vicious cycle. Small Changes for Big Results provides clear, actionable steps that anyone can follow to take control of their finances and free themselves from these traps. The book contains real-life case studies of people who overcame financial difficulties and highlights the small steps they took to change the course of their lives. No matter what your income level or financial background, this book is tailored to help everyone. Lasting change begins with small, consistent actions, and this book equips you with the tools and knowledge to make these incremental changes that will yield big results over time.

Guests directly account for over 50% of resource use in hotels and as much as 90% in self-catering accommodation. They are quite simply the most significant factor contributing to hospitality's ongoing carbon emissions. Given the targets to reduce carbon emissions by 66% by the year 2030, it is imperative that practical solutions for the accommodation sector are created and applied fast. 'How to Create Sustainable Hospitality: a handbook for guest participation' is the first text to demonstrate how to actively persuade guests to participate in achieving sustainable hospitality. Practitioners and commentators have tended to criticise guests, believing they won't "sacrifice" while on holiday. However, social trends show there is increasing consumer expectations for more sustainable services, e.g. reduction of food waste, elimination of single serve plastic, as well as firm evidence that consumption is not linked to guest happiness. The opportunity is therefore to design experiences which deliver better hospitality by inviting guests to apply saving behaviours that do not mean they will have a less enjoyable experience. Based on 16 years personally delivering sustainable hospitality experiences face to face with guests and conducting the first hard research on guest engagement at a variety of sites in Australia and Europe (from 1000-bedroom hotels and B&Bs to self-contained holiday homes and timeshare lodges), the author presents a tried and tested five step methodology on how to directly, effectively and successfully involve guests to conserve resources. This presents a new paradigm for tourism. 'How to Create Sustainable Hospitality: a handbook for guest participation' presents a clearly written, jargon-free, practical solution and: * Is the first book to focus on guests as an active and critical component in sustainable consumption and production at their holiday or business accommodation; * Introduces a five-step methodology on how to directly and effectively involve guests in saving energy and water, reducing food waste and cutting carbon. It delivers a practical solution that has been successfully applied to achieve a fast ROI with scientifically measured savings; * Uses social practice theory to describe why people do not save resources and how we can better design hospitality experiences * Uses persuasive theory to explain how to communicate with guests and by so doing increase stay satisfaction, 'delight' and brand reputation; * Includes hundreds of case examples and scientific research to illustrate how the theories works in practice; * Explains "how" to change - not just the need for change.

The Academy of Parish Clergy 2020 Reference Book of the Year 2020 Association of Catholic Publishers first place award in Scripture 2020 Catholic Press Association third place award for best new religious book series This reading of Mark's Gospel engages this ancient text from the perspective of contemporary feminist concerns to expose and resist all forms of domination that prevent the full flourishing of all humans and all creation. Accordingly, it foregrounds the Gospel's constructions of gender in intersectionality with the visions, structures, practices, and personnel of Roman imperial power. This reading embraces a rich tradition of feminist scholarship on the Gospel, as well as masculinity studies, particularly pervasive hegemonic masculinity. Its politically engaged discussion of Mark's Gospel provides a resource for clergy, students, and laity concerned with contemporary constructions of gender, power, and a world in which all might experience fullness of life.

Kaufman, chairman and CEO of Glenair and longtime friend of Charlie Munger—whom he calls “this generation’s answer to Benjamin Franklinâ€â€”this abridged Stripe Press edition of Poor Charlie’s Almanack features a brand-new foreword by Stripe cofounder John Collison.  Poor Charlie’s Almanack draws on Munger’s encyclopedic knowledge of business, finance, history, philosophy, physics, and ethics—and more besides—to introduce the latticework of mental models that underpin his rational and rigorous approach to life, learning, and decision-making.
