Kindle Pick of the Week: Making More Money for YOU!: Mutual Fund Investing on a Budget for Beginners

If you want to get everything you desire in this crazy life, all whilst making boatloads of money, then keep reading…
If YOU, like me when I was starting out, are looking for a way to get everything on your wishlist without having any of those pesky worries about how much it will cost...then this is the book FOR YOU!

When I was starting out in life, I wanted it all. I wanted the big house with an inground swimming pool, fast cars that belong in the movies, big ticket vacations, and a bright future for me and my family. But there was one big problem - all these things cost money. Worse, that was money I didn't have or know how I was going to get.

Fortunately, in my journey, I have discovered many tools and strategies that have helped me live the life of my dreams. In this book, I'm going to share some of my knowledge to help you on your journey to your dream life. Each person has their own dreams and wants out of this life. This knowledge that I am supplying to you will help to make those dreams a reality!

Here's just a taste of what you'll discover in this groundbreaking book:

How to make more money than you ever thought possible - and buy everything you ever wanted!
Why "retiring at 70" is a myth and what you can do to quit your job and enjoy life before turning 70!
How to live the life of your dreams - without worrying about how much money you have in the bank!
Learn valuable skills and how to use the tools supplied in this book to help you live it up like a boss in no time!
Why millionaires don't play by the rules you've been taught…
How to plan your own, and your family's future to ensure your kids (and their kids) ALWAYS have plenty of money.
...And much, MUCH more!

This book contains the secrets of the world's wealthiest people and teaches everything from where millionaires spend their money (and time), what they invest in, and other secrets for getting ahead.

Even the smallest amount of money and time that you invest in your future makes it that little bit brighter - and the power of compounding multiple strategies and knowledge means that even modest investments can turn into MILLIONS.

Just think of how it would feel to never have to worry about money again or have to "check" what something costs. What would you do with that time and money freedom?

The only real question is - are YOU ready for this?

Amazon Pick of the Week: The Process Is The Product

Former Iowa State and pro basketball player, Paul Shirley with a new book.

Here's the lesson Paul Shirley has learned: it doesn’t matter if it’s professional sports, writing, public speaking, engineering, or acting—there will never be enough money, fame, or success to justify all the work if you can’t enjoy the work itself. You have to fall in love with the process.

In The Process Is The Product, Paul shares the stories of failure and rebirth that have taught him this lesson with one goal in mind: helping you fall in love with your process so you can find meaning, finish projects, and accomplish the goals you set for yourself.

Featuring plenty of humor, humility, and outside sources, this is a book designed to equip readers with the tools to break big projects into smaller tasks while learning to love the work along the way.


Paul Shirley played for 17 professional basketball teams in a nine-year career, including stops in Spain, Greece, Russia, and with three teams in the NBA. He's the author of two works of nonfiction: Can I Keep My Jersey? and Stories I Tell On Dates. Paul is the founder of Writers Blok, a co-writing space in Los Angeles, and The Process, a virtual co-working platform. Ball Boy is his first novel. --This text refers to the paperback edition.

Book Pick of the Week: B.R.A.N.D. Before You Resume'

Graciela Tiscareño-Sato, a decorated Latina aviator in the U.S. Air Force, successfully transitioned from military life to marketing manager. Her powerfully simplistic and much-needed guidebook, B.R.A.N.D. Before Your Resumé, provides actionable tips to help veterans achieve post-military success. Together with her companion online course, Graciela empowers fellow veterans to communicate their unique value to civilian organizations.

After nearly a decade as an Air Force aviator, Tiscareño-Sato is now a marketing professional and entrepreneur who knows first-hand the military-to-civilian transition chaos that all service members must navigate as they become veterans. Her groundbreaking new book, B.R.A.N.D. Before Your Resumé, and companion online course deliver a solution that is described by Tiscareño-Sato as “counterculture to the institutionalized, ineffective, outdated way the DoD and DoL ‘prepare’ people to exit the service via the Transition Assistance Program.”

B.R.A.N.D. Before Your Resumé readers will complete the “extracting product attributes” exercise, see nearly 30 examples of great branding created by veterans Tiscareño-Sato has personally coached, and learn how to write their own AUTHENTIC personal branding to influence their intended target audience. Tiscareño-Sato teaches readers a repeatable marketing messaging process that will be useful for years to come.

Asked about the book’s title, Tiscareño-Sato said, “I created the B.R.A.N.D. acronym to emphasize that military veterans must first Become Relevant, Authentic, Noticeable and Differentiated, instead of writing resumés that nobody will read. We are professionals with diverse, transferable skills earned during our military service. We must, however, first intrigue potential employers and networking partners with our distinctive value.”

The book has already reached No. 1 on Amazon’s Hot New Releases in the Military Family category, and the Military Writers Society of America recognized B.R.A.N.D. Before Your Resumé with a 2021 Silver Medal.

If you’re a veteran or transitioning service member who has difficulty communicating the distinctive leadership experiences and achievements earned on active duty, Tiscareño-Sato’s guidebook and online course can equip you with the skills you need to demonstrate your worth, secure those job interviews, and achieve post-military success.

Author Graciela Tiscareño-Sato is an Air Force veteran, award-winning author and bilingual public speaker who has coached over 5,000 veterans, service members and professionals with live and virtual Authentic Personal Branding workshops. She is a highly decorated USAF aviator and was a 2014 White House Champion of Change honoree, which recognizes individuals, businesses and organizations whose extraordinary accomplishments positively affect communities. She completed her Air Force ROTC Aerospace Studies and her degree in Environmental Design/Architecture from U.C. Berkeley as a scholarship cadet. During Operation Southern Watch, she became the first Latina Air Force aviator to earn an Air Medal for combat air operations.
