If you’re a forward-focused thinker, you may be dreaming about leaving the workforce to enjoy an easier life in retirement or you might even be considering retiring early. But a dream without a plan is just a wish. Passive income is money you earn in a way that requires little to no daily effort to maintain. Some passive income ideas - like renting out property or building a blog - may take some work to get up and running, but they could eventually earn you money while you sleep.

Artificial Intelligence is a new buzzword. Everyone is talking about it. It's been implemented effectively in a number of industries. Though it's been slow to get moving in the real estate industry, it has taken over certain aspects of the industry and will grow rapidly in the next decade. As a real estate agent, real estate owner, or even just a person looking to buy/rent a new house, we're always looking to get the best price, best tenant, or best house that we can afford. And artificial intelligence is the tool that can work for everyone involved.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 45
The idea of owning a business crosses everyone's minds from time to time, and I was no different. For the majority, all that really comes along is a fleeting thought that never gets much true consideration. There are many reasons why people are afraid to take the plunge - they do not have access to substantial funds, they are afraid to lose the security that comes with a steady paycheck, they believe they will have even less time for family and other commitments, and a host of other "I just can't do it" excuses. But the biggest reason that most people never try is simple - they are terrified of failure. I was no different as I mentioned, I have gone through all the phases that most go through before getting into their own business, but being a OTR truck driver, I was gone weeks at a time. I still loved what I was doing, but I had been married now for several years, and we had two children with a third on the way. I missed my family when I was gone, and it was hard on my wife as well.

A revolutionary approach to the techniques of working with horses, by a renowned instructor. In Horses Never Lie, renowned horse trainer Mark Rashid challenges the conventional wisdom of "alpha leadership" and teaches the listener to become a "passive leader" - a counterpart to the kind of horse other members of a herd choose to associate with and to follow.

But with a job cut short and no immediate plans, this fixture of the New York comedy scene began to think about what he might do with months of free time. He had heard of the Appalachian Trail, but he had never seriously considered attempting to hike all 2,184.2 miles of it. Suddenly he found himself asking, Could he do it?

Best book on running martial arts schools, period.
One of the best books on running a martial arts school ever written, and I have read a lot of them. It takes the theoretical knowledge of many different business books available and places them all in the practical setting of a martial arts school. Absolutely wonderful!
Well written and packed full of tremendously valuable knowledge that can be implemented right now, regardless of your status in the martial arts teaching field. I have listened to this book five times since purchasing it and each time, I take away something new I can implement in my business. The sections on the structure of your business and the different programs that can extend your business is very valuable.
Chaz Allen does a great job of narrating the book as well! He is very pleasant to listen to even if you speed up the narration to 3 times normal.
If you are only going to buy one book on running a martial arts school...buy this one!

I recently opened a martial arts school in Kalamazoo, MI. This book provided many valuable points that have aided me in the process of opening, running and marketing. I also am using the info to plan future events and strategies. I highly recommend it to anyone. there is a lot of info so be sure to read/listen multiple times.
