Table of Contents Introduction The World Owes Me a Living Money and Happiness The Accumulation of Material Possessions Material Riches - A Story of Some Ray - Bans Job Satisfaction Obsession with Money Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction Oscar Wilde once said - "A cynic is that person who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing." This was said more than 100 years ago, and I was wondering about how man suddenly decided that his idea of happiness was tied up with the thought of money and why he has become so materialistic. This book is being written because I have noticed that more and more acquaintances and friends of mine instinctively look at an item in somebody else's house, and start pricing it mentally. Sometimes they even blurt out the price, as if they cannot help it. And the tone is either very envious, or rather patronizing. So this book is going to tell you all about how you as a human being could start learning about the value of money and its place in the scheme of things. You may also teach your children this particular attitude, and this is going to be explained in further volumes. So that your child does not grow up thinking that the level of his contentment, satisfaction, and happiness as he grows up to be an adult is directly linked with the amount of money in his bank balance, or amounts accessible to him. In fact, you could learn the price of money and the value people put on it, right here.

That is because more and more people are looking towards natural and organic solutions of the ever youthful look or getting rid of skin diseases, wrinkles, pimples, or just looking squeaky clean and fresh. The instinctive nature of human beings to hold on to their youth, and the smooth attractive skin of that time is one of the reasons why so many people are looking for alternatives, which supposedly give them a fresh lease on looking young and looking attractive. That is the reason why you see so many brands in the market today, marketing products with supposedly exotic ingredients or secret ingredients. This is the oldest marketing stunt and wheeze, which has been practiced down the ages and it is going to continue in the year 5000. If you stood on a market street corner in ancient Egypt, there would be some pattering show man, talking all about a magic cream, which he had learned from his Gypsy ancestors who were wise good witches. They used a secret ingredient, which were the rays of the moon, collected on a full moon's night, with a golden spoon. And as the full moon on that special night was in her full bloom of youth and beauty, so would everyone who would pay 10 obols would get the secret of the gods. Also, he would give anyone a powerful magical elixir, which would keep him looking young and attractive for as long as he wished.

Table of Contents Introduction Structure of the business plan Company and financing Company overview Strategic and market analysis Industry analysis Competition Pricing Marketing plan Financial projections How to Create a Profit and Loss Statement Executive Summary Conclusion The whole business plan Author Bio Introduction If you have bought this short book, you are probably thinking about starting your own business. We live in the 21st century and we have more business opportunities now than ever before. Today, it is possible to start a global online business and to manage companies that are thousands of miles away from home. The technology has made our lives much easier. The reason you are reading this book is probably not because you don't have the idea, but because you need to create a business plan and convince investors that what you plan to do is profitable. Before you continue reading this book, I want to tell you that there is nothing to be afraid of. Yes, writing a business plan is a bit difficult and complicated, as you need to pay attention to details, but yes, you can write it! In this short guide, we will go step by step through everything you need to know in order to write a business plan. Also, I am going to create a fictitious company and create a business plan for it. That way you can see how a complete business plan is written step by step. Before we start, you need to know that when you are writing the business plan, you should not only think as yourself, but as the owner, as well. Remember, the goal is not to convince you. The goal is to convince the investors. So you need to put yourself in the position of the investor and make sure that what you have written is done really, really well. The key to writing a good business plan is not only to have all the sections written such as Marketing plan, financial projection, and so on, but also to have answered all the questions that the investor might have for the project you're presenting. Always keep this in mind. I will remind you of this many times during this book as I am going to write the potential questions with italic font. This was a short introduction to what to expect in this book. Now, let's get started!

Table of Contents Introduction Earning money #1 - Find a job by spending no money. #2 - Find a job by spending money. #3 - Make money by investing Saving and spending money Your Balance Sheet Schedule and goals Schedule and goals Author Bio Publisher Introduction Debt is a word that everyone is afraid of. Nobody likes this word, not even banks. Banks like it when others are in debt to them. Anyway, if you are in debt, it is not the end of the world. It only means that you are in a bad financial position and that is something that you need to change. If we take a look at the debt statistics, over 70% of the students in USA are in debt with average sum of $30.000 per student. Now this is a huge percent and very high sum of money. Part of the students will struggle for a very, very long time to get out of debt and have a life with financial freedom. But some of them will do it much quicker, much easier. Why? Why some students get out of debt faster than others? Why some people are more afraid of debt than others? These are some of the questions that you can expect to find answers to in the next couple of pages. Every single person is different and unique. Every person has different skills, advantages and weaknesses that they develop over time. A lot of people spent years researching, trying to find a formula on how to become financially free that will work on everyone, but they couldn't find it. Because, I am going to mention it again, everyone is different and unique. This was the main reason why they failed. They thought that only because something worked out for someone, it will work for someone else as-well. Or, only because something did not work out for someone, it will not work out for someone else. Do not expect to find the secret formula on how to get out of debt in this book, because it is not here. It is not out of the book, it does not exist. The only formula that works for you is inside you. This part of the book will help you find out how you can get the best out of yourself and how to create this formula that will help you get out of debt. Getting out of debt will make you much, much stronger. Yes, you will be disappointed while you are in debt and maybe mad at yourself and others, but you will also manage to build a stronger character. Being in debt, and then getting out of it will make you much, much stronger. Your patience will increase, your discipline will improve, you will build endurance and most important of all, you will have more courage. Why? Well, you can say "I had debt, but I won and now I am financially free." This is something that all-time debt-free people cannot say. There is another part of this topic that is worth mentioning. Almost all of the successful and rich entrepreneurs had debt. Not before they started their business, but while they had it. Most of them started in garages, with some or no money. They borrowed money from friends and family, but they believed in themselves. They had the courage and they knew their advantages and disadvantages, their strengths and their weaknesses. And again, they had patience. They did not become rich overnight, but they knew that they are on the right track and they kept going. This is the main reason why some students get out of debt faster than others, because they know themselves. They are aware of their skills, their weaknesses, their strengths, expertise, and they know their value. These people use the information they have to earn money and afford a better life. Bill Gates said "If you are born poor, it's not your mistake. But if you die poor, it's your mistake." At the beginning of your life, you know nothing about the world nor about yourself. As you grow, you increase your value as person. And that's all that changes right? You become more educated, you absorb knowledge, you become more experienced in certain area and that's it. What you do from the moment you are born, till you die is what builds you as a person

Table of Contents Introduction Chapter 1: Own Less, Live Best Intentionality for Minimalist Lifestyle Chapter 2: Benefits of Minimalism Chapter 3: Getting Your Life Back Becoming a Minimalist Other Ways to Maximize Life Minimalism in Homes Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction Minimalism is a way of living that cuts the gluttony surrounding our world. It is the exact opposite of what we see in ads, what we hear on the radio, or what commercials air on TV. It contrasts what our society has etched on our minds regarding the claimed importance of accumulating stuff. It tells us to dismiss ourselves from consumerism, instead of priding ourselves for all our material possessions, the clutters in our environment, the skyrocketing debts, and an abundance of infinite distractions. People are joining the craze of the material world and we are left with a meaningless one. People are crazy over lots of stuff, with closets full of clothes, racks full of shoes, garages stacked with useless gears, basements cluttered with boxes of what seems like hoarding of old items. They are living the typical life: working hard to make good money, spend a great chunk on it to pay for mortgage, buy fancy clothes, and keep up with friends who have luxury cars, or get a hand of cool technology which are seen as bragging rights. It is hard to see and realize that we do not need any of these, and that life is more meaningful when there are no people to impress, that we do not have to spend so much on stuff we don't need just to make us happy, and that a rise in pay wouldn't necessarily mean a rise in cost of living. It takes a turning point to make people aware that they are losing themselves over their material possessions. And this point could be achieved by the continuous effort of dissenters who encourage a simpler, less materialist life. Living a minimalist lifestyle means throwing out what you do not need and focus only on those that you need. We only need little to survive while still living happily. We only need the small things to keep content in our hearts. The stuff that surround us are only depictions of materialism, and the society telling us that we have to consume more of it is just a way of luring us into consumerism. These things do not matter and do not account for our own happiness.

Women, far more than men dread the idea of growing old. That is because they subconsciously have the fear that there will be nobody to take care of them, then they grow comparatively old and helpless. The first adjustment to this idea comes in middle age, with its foreshadowing of old age. This is when middle-aged people begin to think about the next stage of life. If a woman has devoted her life to being the center of her family, she may look ahead fearfully to the days to come, when her children will be adults and will have flown the nest. If she has a happy married life, she knows that she has her partner, who is going to grow old with her. But unfortunately sometimes it just happens that homes break up and many people find themselves approaching middle age, and future old age, in loneliness. That is when they begin to take good care of their finances so that they have enough of money, which they can utilize when they are old. Among all the impermanent and threatening shadows of the days to come, a woman may have before her the example of some cantankerous old lady who has become an unloved, and unwelcome burden to her children demanding and less attention from some already hard-pressed daughter-in-law or daughter. And this condition worsens, if that person is ill. In the East, where the idea of sending parents to an old-age home, is still something of which one thinks of with loathing and abhorrence, nursing of the eldest generation is done at home. Affluent families keep home nurses who are professional. Other not so affluent families take care of the elders, not because it is their duty, but because it is part of the Eastern and Oriental social fabric, coming down the ages. However, this idea is slowly being eroded in many cities, because the children are more bothered about making money, instead of giving proper care to their elders. The elders also try their best to keep away from under the children's feet and make sure that they are financially secure. The day of the joint family is slowly and steadily disappearing, when the younger generations used to take care of the older generations. It is often said by Easterners, that in many countries in the West, they have lost the sense of filial duty, which still exists in so many Latin and Eastern countries. This is where old people are respected and taken into their children's homes. Westerners are often accused of heartlessness, because so often they send their parents away to live the rest of their lives in an old peoples home. This may be right, but one cannot generalize.

Table of Contents Introduction - Why People invest Chapter 1 - The relation between Risk and Return Chapter 2 - Most common types of investment Chapter 3 - Diversification is for idiots, or not? Chapter 4 - Value investing Chapter 5 - Theory of portfolio optimization Conclusion Author bio Introduction - Why people invest? Investing simply means putting your money to work for you. The reason why people invest is pretty obvious - to get rich(er). Arnold Schwarzenegger once said that money does not make people happy. According to what he said, he has over $50 million, but he is just as happy as he was when he had $48 million. Now that is easy to say when you have that much money right? Most of the people that think that the rich are lucky. But that's wrong. Most of the rich people actually earned their money. They found what they are good at, they used their skills and qualities and earned the money. Being rich does not mean that you are lucky. It means that you have found out how to use what you are good at to make money.
