    Entrepreneur Me – You Too: Your Dream Business Doesn't Need to Fail by Tom Sowden


    Well-thought-out ideas and projects can go together successfully and make our lives better. The game changer in our life has been the internet, which has opened the door for entrepreneurial projects like no other development in history. FAILURES DON’T NEED TO HAPPEN if one follows some fundamentals that promise success. I have tried to point these ideas out in this book based on my lifelong experience as a small businessperson. Hopefully reading about my successes and failures will help you understand the principles that helped me and my family live comfortably. Yes, there were stressful times brought on by paranoid thoughts, which never materialized.

  • Episode 2989: CHASING HAPPINESS IN AN IMPERFECT LIFE by Xiomara Alvarez
    Jun 6 2024

    Chasing Happiness in an Imperfect Life by Xiomara Alvarez


    This is a story of survival against the odds. It is meant to show the reader that a person can triumph regardless of the circumstances not because of hardship but in spite of it. Although Xiomara's life was scarred by violence and abuse, she learned to translate fear and shame into inner strength. Her memoir speaks to those who seek forgiveness, happiness, and love regardless of the odds.


    Raised in Havana, Cuba, during the revolution, author Xiomara Alvarez migrated to the US with her

    family as a political refugee and moved to New Haven, Connecticut. At eighteen years old, she became

    a single mom and, lured by the hippie movement, moved to San Francisco. It was there that she joined

    a commune called the Good Earth for three years. Later she went on to obtain a business degree and

    joined Fortune 500 companies, including Firestone Tire Company and American Express. Upon

    retirement, she established Asking Mara Events & Entertainment, focusing on music and festivals.

    Currently, spends her time between Phoenix and Mexico.

The experiment has gone terribly wrong, producing ramifications to all who are involved.
