True Self, True Wealth takes a "holistic" approach to working with money by offering an inspirational and practical guide to developing self-knowledge and spiritual maturity, along with material wealth and financial security. The emerging field of neuroeconomics confirms that our emotions are a primary influence on our economic choices. authors Peter Cole and Daisy reese offer a revolutionary approach to improving your economic status by identifying your own "Money Script" -- a distinctive approach to understanding and working with personal money issues. The ten money scripts teach how to reconstruct a healthy, prosperous relationship to finances that ensures an abundant, secure future for yourself and your family. Inspiring quotes from spiritual teachers and financial gurus, entertaining exercises and illustrative examples, a helpful outline of a financial journey toward security and happiness, as well as practical and comprehensive financial planning for a lifetime provide the tools necessary for traveling the path to true wealth.

You Are a Badass at Making Money will launch you past the fears and stumbling blocks that have kept financial success beyond your reach. Drawing on her own transformation—over just a few years—from a woman living in a converted garage with tumbleweeds blowing through her bank account to a woman who travels the world in style, Jen Sincero channels the inimitable sass and practicality that made You Are a Badass an indomitable bestseller. She combines hilarious personal essays with bite-size, aha concepts that unlock earning potential and get real results. Learn to: • Uncover what's holding you back from making money • Give your doubts, fears, and excuses the heave-ho • Relate to money in a new (and lucrative) way • Shake up the cocktail of creation • Tap into your natural ability to grow rich • Shape your reality—stop playing victim to circumstance • Get as wealthy as you wanna be “This book truly crystallizes the concept that financial abundance is an inside job—in that it all begins with your mindset—and Sincero gets serious (in the funniest ways possible) about helping you identify your particular limiting beliefs surrounding money.” —PopSugar

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2001, after an investment adviser lost $300,000 of Ian MacDonald`s money, he took what was left and self-managed it. His investment objective was to build a stock scoring program that would give him an annual dividend income worth 6% of his portfolio, while increasing the value of that portfolio every year by about 9% (his background was in building commercial risk scoring computer programs for the banks and other businesses). He succeeded in his objective. While he had developed that stock scoring program for his own use, in 2019 he used it to help an elderly lady who had suffered a catastrophic financial loss, due to am investment adviser`s greed. After much of her loss had been recovered and her monthly income had doubled, she told Ian MacDonald that he needed to write a book to help people like her who knew little about investing and could easily be taken advantage of . He wrote that book. It is called, "Income and Wealth from Self-Directed Investing".He includes that PC stock scoring program with his 300 page book. To further help investors, in the last 100 pages of the book, are charts listing all the companies traded on the TSX that pay a dividend of 3.5% or more. Four sorts of the data in these charts is provided: by score, stock price, dividend percent and by company name. The data sorts make it easy and fast to identify and weigh which stocks are the best ones to add to your portfolio. Like the elderly widow, there are many who fear that they will outlive their life savings? They feel forced to use investment advisers because no one has shown them how to invest safely. Ian MacDonald`s book takes away the fear of investing by explaining, the following in easy to understand language: (1) The danger of entrusting your money to an investment adviser whose fees and hidden agenda could drain your savings.(2) Why investing in dividend paying common stock is the safest way for you to invest, as compared to bonds, mutual funds, etc. (3) How to open an online self-directed stock trading account without having to involve bank employees.(4) How to easily find for your portfolio the best twenty stocks for capital gain and the highest dividends.(5) How to find and sort potential stock purchases from best to worse, so you can pick the twenty best and safest.(6) How to verify that stocks have no harmful information attached to them that could potentially be a problem if purchased.(7) How to purchase a stock you have carefully chosen, in less than five minutes.(8) How to quickly and easily monitor your purchased stocks on a daily, monthly and quarterly basis.The stock market is not a casino and what Ian MacDonald teaches is not a get rich quick scheme. It is a logical, easy to understand method of investing. Since implementing his scoring system, his portfolio has grown by 300% while generating a steady ever growing retirement income. He thinks every investor should now know exactly what they are invested in and understand why they are invested in it. Through booming times and recessions there is no reason your self-directed portfolio can not generate a reliable monthly income and grow year-after-year.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Doing well with money isn’t necessarily about what you know. It’s about how you behave. And behavior is hard to teach, even to really smart people. Money—investing, personal finance, and business decisions—is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money and teaches you how to make better sense of one of life’s most important topics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many of us have multiple identities, says Edwina Barvosa. We may view ourselves according to ethnicity, marital or family roles, political affiliation, sexuality, or any of several other “identities” we may use to organize our behavior and self-understanding at any given time. Various domains have offered nuggets of insight regarding the characteristics and political implications of seeing the self as made up of multiple identities, but many questions remain. In Wealth of Selves, Edwina Barvosa constructs an ambitious interdisciplinary blend of these insights and crafts them into an overarching theoretical framework for understanding multiple identities in terms of intersectionality, identity contradiction, and the political potential that lies within the practices of self-integration. Grounded in Gloria Anzaldúa’s concept of mestiza consciousness as well as in Western political thought, this reconsideration of the self promises to reshape our thinking on issues such as immigrant incorporation, national identity, political participation, the socially constructed sources of will and political critique, and the longevity of racial and gender conflicts. With its accessible style and rich cross-pollination among disciplines, Wealth of Selves will reward readers in political science, philosophy, race, ethnic, and American studies, as well as in borderlands, sexuality, and gender studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings to a close that portion of MASTERY OF SELF, which deals with the art of Success-Magnetism. Acquiring magnetism is a constructive effort. It is a building process. You are rearing a structure. You rise, from the foundation, through successive stories to the culminating peak. The most pleasing, notable structures men build from granite and steel and wood, tower like a Woolworth Building or a Rheims Cathedral-higher and higher, until they finally reach a gold- tipped crown or spire, high in the sunlit sky. And so, in rearing your invisible shrine of personal Success- magnetism, we now come to the topmost peak of the structure. This book gives you the crowning inspirations, tipped and topped with the final "Golden Laws of Magnetism in all Applied Life." Master these lessons in the magnetism of success, and you will go forth upon the highways and by-ways of life, endowed with a kingly confidence in your ability to win a measure of success achieved by few. But remember (should discouragement seek to dog your steps) every great structure requires the process of time. "The giant trees of California were once puny saplings. The slow lapse of time has drawn nature into their mighty hearts." Just as surely as the absorption of natural forces built the giant redwoods, just as surely can you draw upon nature for GIANT POWERS.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the dark, bewildering, trap-infested jungle of misinformation and opaque riddles that is the world of investment, JL Collins is the fatherly wizard on the side of the path, offering a simple map, warm words of encouragement and the tools to forge your way through with confidence. You'll never find a wiser advisor with a bigger heart." -- Malachi Rempen: Filmmaker, cartoonist, author and self-described ruffian This book grew out of a series of letters to my daughter concerning various things-mostly about money and investing-she was not yet quite ready to hear. Since money is the single most powerful tool we have for navigating this complex world we've created, understanding it is critical. "But Dad," she once said, "I know money is important. I just don't want to spend my life thinking about it." This was eye-opening. I love this stuff. But most people have better things to do with their precious time. Bridges to build, diseases to cure, treaties to negotiate, mountains to climb, technologies to create, children to teach, businesses to run. Unfortunately, benign neglect of things financial leaves you open to the charlatans of the financial world. The people who make investing endlessly complex, because if it can be made complex it becomes more profitable for them, more expensive for us, and we are forced into their waiting arms. Here's an important truth: Complex investments exist only to profit those who create and sell them. Not only are they more costly to the investor, they are less effective. The simple approach I created for her and present now to you, is not only easy to understand and implement, it is more powerful than any other. Together we'll explore: Debt: Why you must avoid it and what to do if you have it. The importance of having F-you Money. How to think about money, and the unique way understanding this is key to building your wealth. Where traditional investing advice goes wrong and what actually works. What the stock market really is and how it really works. Why the stock market always goes up and why most people still lose money investing in it. How to invest in a raging bull, or bear, market. Specific investments to implement these strategies. The Wealth Building and Wealth Preservation phases of your investing life and why they are not always tied to your age. How your asset allocation is tied to those phases and how to choose it. How to simplify the sometimes confusing world of 401(k), 403(b), TSP, IRA and Roth accounts. TRFs (Target Retirement Funds), HSAs (Health Savings Accounts) and RMDs (Required Minimum Distributions). What investment firm to use and why the one I recommend is so far superior to the competition. Why you should be very cautious when engaging an investment advisor and whether you need to at all. Why and how you can be conned, and how to avoid becoming prey. Why I don't recommend dollar cost averaging. What financial independence looks like and how to have your money support you. What the 4% rule is and how to use it to safely spend your wealth. The truth behind Social Security. A Case Study on how this all can be implemented in real life. Enjoy the read, and the journey!

This is especially the case when self-storage is selling for a premium. It is daunting competing for facilities with large, well funded operators and REITS.This book will show you the three step process to successfully purchase self-storage today, even in large markets where the REITS are active, and provide all the resources you will need. By the end of this tutorial you will possess the essential tools to effectively find, analyze risk, and compete with the larger players. You will not only have the knowledge to BUY facilities, but BUY them in a way that fulfills your pre-determined parameters and business plan. Mark Helm, CCIM explains in detail how he did just that, and with very limited startup funds. As the economy improves and more people use self-storage, it is going to be more important than ever to know how to effectively compete with large well funded operators in purchasing facilities.

Book excerpt: An enlightening guide to success, fulfillment, wholeness, and plenty, offering practical advice on how to cultivate a sense of abundance in times of fear and insecurity, from New York Times bestselling author Deepak Chopra “To attain wealth of the lasting kind, the kind that gives your life meaning, value, and sustenance, base your daily existence on the generosity of spirit.”—Deepak Chopra Many of us live and operate from a mindset of lack, scarcity, and limitation. We focus on what we don’t have—financial security, confidence, an intimate relationship—which keeps us feeling insecure and inadequate. We think “if only I could have those things, I could be happy.” But measuring wealth by money or material possessions leaves us feeling drained and spiritually empty. Constantly striving for more often means our ego is driving our thoughts, actions, and reactions, which prevents us from reaching something greater: a true sense of inner peace, acceptance, and fulfillment. Yet, there is an inner path to prosperity and wealth that, once charted and explored, provides access to the great riches of the universe and life’s unbounded possibilities. In Abundance, international bestselling author Deepak Chopra illuminates this road to success and wholeness, helping readers tap into a deeper sense of awareness to become agents of change in their own lives. Mixing ancient teachings and spiritual practices with the wisdom he’s garnered over four decades as the leading figure in mind-body medicine, Deepak demonstrates how to transcend self-generated feelings of limitation and fear in order to experience true abundance in all aspects of life. To do so, he offers a seven-step plan along with meditations and mindfulness techniques to help you focus and direct your attention, energy, and intuition so you can experience stability, affluence, insight, creativity, love, and true power.

Sisters and best friends, Amanda Campbell and Michelle Riley, shared a childhood that ultimately led to two completely different career paths-Amanda, the eldest, became a Certified Financial Planner(TM) and Michelle, a Certified Personal Trainer and Nutrition Coach. But the driven sisters soon realized that they serve the same type of client: busy, badass women who are ready to make a change in their lives. They came to see how women needed to be empowered both from a health perspective and a wealth perspective. They're so hand-in-hand for the female population that the sisters instinctively knew they had to unite their expertise as a way to get women to see that you truly can't have one without the other. They needed a 360° action plan. Packed with illustrative case studies and avoidable missteps, The Health and Wealth Sisters' 360° Action Plan offers game-changing mind shifts and actionable strategies, including: Rewriting the guilt of wealth and other common pitfalls How to change your narrative Permission to start putting yourself first Money is only a tool to help you live your best life Redefining what constitutes a healthy life Creating your own Wealth and Health Empowerment Plans A unique hybrid of dual expert guidance, wake-up call motivation, and compelling memoir, The Health and Wealth Sisters' 360° Action Plan is for the modern woman who needs a swift kick in the pants in order to stop taking a back seat to her own life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A simple guide to a smarter strategy for the individual investor A Wealth of Common Sense sheds a refreshing light on investing, and shows you how a simplicity-based framework can lead to better investment decisions. The financial market is a complex system, but that doesn't mean it requires a complex strategy; in fact, this false premise is the driving force behind many investors' market "mistakes." Information is important, but understanding and perspective are the keys to better decision-making. This book describes the proper way to view the markets and your portfolio, and show you the simple strategies that make investing more profitable, less confusing, and less time-consuming. Without the burden of short-term performance benchmarks, individual investors have the advantage of focusing on the long view, and the freedom to construct the kind of portfolio that will serve their investment goals best. This book proves how complex strategies essentially waste these advantages, and provides an alternative game plan for those ready to simplify. Complexity is often used as a mechanism for talking investors into unnecessary purchases, when all most need is a deeper understanding of conventional options. This book explains which issues you actually should pay attention to, and which ones are simply used for an illusion of intelligence and control. Keep up with—or beat—professional money managers Exploit stock market volatility to your utmost advantage Learn where advisors and consultants fit into smart strategy Build a portfolio that makes sense for your particular situation You don't have to outsmart the market if you can simply outperform it. Cut through the confusion and noise and focus on what actually matters. A Wealth of Common Sense clears the air, and gives you the insight you need to become a smarter, more successful investor.
