The tactics that jump-start your business in tough times will power it forward in good times. Put your business into another gear - shift!

Mistakes become more costly, and failure becomes a real possibility for all those who are not able to make the transition. But imagine being able to sell your products when others cannot, being able to take market share from your competitors, and knowing the precise formulas that would allow you to expand your sales while others make excuses.

Whenever the words business plan are mentioned most people freeze! What follows are the words I don't know how to write one.... This is why I have taken the lid off and written in plain English what needs to be considered and included in a business plan. This book has been written to help those who are writing plans for the first time or for those who write business plans infrequently. (Even seasoned business plan writers will learn one or two things, I promise!) I have included two different types of business plan templates.

Quit running your investment property under the influence of "hopeium"; that delusional state under which you believe everything will work out fine without putting forth any effort or thought into creating value with it. That's the way most investors approach their investment property. Without a strategy for increasing value with your property's management plan is just taking the "lottery" approach. The fundamentals remain the same for the most part, when it comes to adding value and leasing.

When it comes to your finances, you deserve to have access you need to the knowledge, education, strategies, and tips required to achieve financial freedom. Think about it: When was the last time you felt comfortable with your income? When was the last time you looked into your bank account and thought to yourself, “I can pay for my child’s college education?” For far too many of us, these are nothing but a pipe dream.

The second edition of the fun and fascinating guide to the main ideas of the Austrian School of economics, written in sparkling prose, especially for the non-economist. Gene Callahan shows that good economics isn't about government planning or statistical models - it's about human beings and the choices they make in the real world. This may be the most important book of its kind since Hazlitt's Economics in One Lesson. Though written for the beginner, it has been justly praised by scholars too, including Israel Kirzner, Walter Block, and Peter Boettke.

Game theory means rigorous strategic thinking. It’s the art of anticipating your opponent’s next moves, knowing full well that your rival is trying to do the same thing to you. Though parts of game theory involve simple common sense, much is counterintuitive, and it can only be mastered by developing a new way of seeing the world. Using a diverse array of rich case studies - from pop culture, TV, movies, sports, politics, and history - the authors show how nearly every business and personal interaction has a game-theory component to it.
