        A Surfer's Guide to Property Investing

        How to achieve your financial goals and lead your best life through investing in property

        by Paul Glossop

        A Surfer's Guide to Property Investing is about how to achieve your financial goals and lead your best life through investing in property. Paul Glossop believes the mark of financial success isn’t about getting bigger, better, faster or more. To him, success is freedom – freedom to spend more time with his family, or giving back to his community, or just more time to go surfing. Paul initially studied architecture before transferring his focus to education. He started working as a teacher in one of the roughest, toughest schools in the UK. A series of fortunate events brought him back to Sydney where over 10 years investing in property, Paul amassed a portfolio which has been focused on capital growth, development opportunities and cash flow. The success of his portfolio gave Paul the financial freedom to take a calculated risk to walk away from a successful corporate career and start something that he was truly passionate about: helping his family and others change their lives through investing in property.

        The 45 Most Important Lessons of Profitable Investors

        by Yuichiro Ichikawa

        "Bonds are safer than stocks" is not always true. "Diversification is good" may be an assumption. Stock prices are always mistaken, so it's okay to ignore them. The factors for investment decisions are all around us. If you need 500 million yen in your life, just make 100 million yen. Full of "eye-opening" knowledge that you knew but didn't understand. Against the backdrop of rising stock prices and anxiety about a "100-year life," people are becoming more and more aware of investment (asset management). However, even if you want to study investment again, you may not know what to think about, and you may be influenced by other people's success stories, information on the Internet that you cannot understand, or the words and actions of so-called professionals, and in the end, it may not work out. In this book, the author, who has been involved in asset management advice as a CFP and also holds his own courses as the head of an investment school that is now attracting attention, gives advice on how to organize the knowledge and information essential for investment and how to find your own success rules and philosophy. The basic idea is that "investing is like finding a job. Do you want to work for a company that you don't know anything about, a company that has no future, or a company that will be criticized by society? This is the point. The "royal road to investment" is to grow your assets along with the growth of your chosen investment, without being misled by temporary booms or the words and actions of those around you. So, what kind of investments should you choose and what stance should you take? With a wealth of concrete examples and a gentle narrative, this book explains how to obtain a variety of effective information that even a layman can do, how to analyze the information in a way that suits you, and what not to do, in the form of "45 lessons" from the perspective of correct investment thinking and practice.

        THE CAPITALIST CODE

        It Can Save Your Life and Make You Very Rich

        by Ben Stein

        WARREN BUFFETT SAYS: "My friend, Ben Stein, has written a short book that tells you everything you need to know about investing (and in words you can understand). Follow Ben’s advice and you will do far better than almost all investors (and I include pension funds, universities and the super-rich) who pay high fees to advisors." In his entertaining and informative style that has captivated generations, beloved New York Times bestselling author, actor, and financial expert Ben Stein sets the record straight about capitalism in the United States―it is not the "rigged system" young people are led to believe. As he reveals in THE CAPITALIST CODE: "Life can be faced by moaning and complaining or it can be faced by study, work, optimism, and faith in the free capitalist system. Guess which side gets the happier life?" Most people in the world have not inherited wealth or a successful business that could set them up for life. That means most Americans are destined for financial worry and concern for the rest of their lives. Right? Wrong! Ben Stein explains how the wonderful system of stock market capitalism can allow any American to build financial security. That's what this book is all about: how to harness the incredible power of the U.S. economy for enjoyment and security by being owners of profitable businesses-by consistent, conservative investment starting as young as possible in a diversified port- folio of stocks. Anyone can be a capitalist―and should be. All it takes is a little bit of knowledge and an even smaller amount of action. All it takes is THE CAPITALIST CODE.

        Covenant Secret, The

        An Inspirational Tale About Uncovering the 7 Master Keys of Wisdom and Wealth

        by John Feloni

        The secret to super-success in whatever you do is closer than you think . . . Uncovering the seven keys to super-success in life and business can be a simple as reading a tale, a parable, if you will, especially when the teller of the tale is the best-selling co-author of the Wall Street classic “The Fall of the House of Hutton” and the founder and CEO of the fin-tech startup, StockSquirrel, John Feloni.   FORGE A MEANINGFUL PATH TO SUCCESS WHEN YOU DISCOVER THE COVENANT SECRET Uncovering the seven keys to super-success in life and business can be a simple as reading a tale, a parable, if you will, especially when the teller of the tale is the best-selling co-author of the Wall Street classic “The Fall of the House of Hutton” and the founder and CEO of the fin-tech startup, StockSquirrel, John Feloni. “The Covenant Secret” tells the story of a fresh-out-of-business-school and intensely-focused-on-money entrepreneur, Bill Rand, whose startup company is not doing too well. Unbeknownst to him, Bill is about to embark on a journey of discovery guided by Tom Crawford, one of the world’s great entrepreneurs, a journey that will change Bill’s life — as well as his fortunes. Travel with Bill as he learns the answers to these pressing and timely questions – – What is business REALLY about?– Is business solely about the money?– Where do people fit into the business equation?– How are misconceptions holding you back from your full potential?– What’s at the heart of this new “stakeholder capitalism” idea?– What changes can you make to maximize your efforts?– Who (or what) are you ultimately serving with your business and in your life? These are questions that, once answered, will open doors for you in life just as much as in business. “The Covenant Secret” takes the reader through all of the pivotal aspects of good business: investors, shareholders, customers, partners, employees, the communities they serve, and the planet on which we live. As you will see, all of these constitute what you will come to call the “Covenant Secret.” The author wrote this business exemplum thirty years ago — and the message is relevant today, more than ever. As you read this wonderful modern-day parable, you will come to the undeniable conclusion that, in business and life, it’s about people and relationships. In fact, you’ll see that they are the only things that matter.
