MORE PROFIT, EFFICIENTLY & CONSISTENTLY
So you’ve identified that owning rental property is a smart investment. But are you ready to become a landlord? Many think being a landlord is either a nightmare filled with late-night sewer backups and evictions, or a cakewalk, as easy as watching the rent checks flow in. The reality is somewhere in the middle—but exactly where depends on how you engineer your approach.
Over the past two decades, author Richard Sturtevant has developed optimized systems to lease and manage single-family rental homes. He knows how to maximize the potential of each unique piece of real estate while minimizing the effort required at each phase of the rental cycle. The results have been clear when profits have been realized and reinvested (without hesitation) into more real estate.
In Landlord Like an Engineer, you’ll learn his proven approach to: • Optimize your rental property to maximize your revenue potential. • List and market your property to attract great tenants. • Scrutinize the tenant selection process. • Handle inspections, damages, security deposits, and evictions to avoid headaches. • Leverage technology and specifics in your lease agreements for efficiency. • Vet and retain the most essential contractors. • Manage a short-term rental property, which is more like running a hotel. • Hire a property manager to save time and increase profits. • And more!
If you’ve realized that being a landlord has both incredible potential and mind-numbing pitfalls, Landlord Like an Engineer is your practical guide for success and profit.

A way to upgrade your orthodontic business and work less using a system that grows your practice and profits.

Level the Curve, Data-Driven Practice Management Principles to Compete in Today’s Changing Orthodontic Landscape shows you how to upgrade your practice for profitability. Tech-savvy orthodontist and entrepreneur Dr. Jamie Reynolds has teamed up with digital-stats guru Oliver Level the Curve, Data-Driven Practice Management Principles to Compete in Today’s Changing Orthodontic Landscape shows you how to upgrade your practice for profitability. Together, they’ve rewritten the rules for running a more profitable orthodontic practice. Using data analytics, the practice management principles they teach in this book are statistical and fact driven. And they’re derived from the largest and cleanest data set of consumer buying habits ever collected in the orthodontic space. That feat was achieved using new software developed with the help of fellow-orthodontist Jeff Kozlowski and engineer Dave Ternan. After crunching the numbers, the data revealed the most effective approach to running a successful practice.

Now this data-driven management approach has facilitated the global adoption of data analytics and technology innovation in the orthodontic industry. Coauthors Jamie Reynolds and Oliver Gelles have used the big data to see what works and what doesn’t in a practice. And they’ve simplified it down to a statistical science. Their proven, data-driven system of more effective practice management is the new gold standard for orthodontists. The system is increasing starts, production, and profits in practices all over the country. And a trove of data proves it can work far better than the traditional orthodontic business model to make your existing practice more profitable.

• Jumpstart your practice’s profitability using a system based on data sets collected from 430,000 patient starts and more than $2.2 billion in orthodontic production.

• Take the guesswork out of orthodontic business management and eliminate the costly “trial and error” approach that’s draining your team.

• Learn how to immediately increase starts by implementing a unique payment solution based on patient flexibility.

• See how to apply tech-and-data-driven solutions that help you generate a steady cash flow, dependable starts, improved collections, and reduced delinquency.

• Discover how to process insurance claims without wasting your team’s time and slowing their outreach to new patients.

This book provides advanced research and clinical experience providing solutions for the real problems you’re facing in your orthodontic practice right now. But just solving problems isn’t enough. This new system offers you the advantage of time-tested methods that are currently growing hundreds of other practices. Why not yours? The strategies in Level the Curve can take your orthodontic practice to the next level.

The world has a deep need for true leaders who are mature and move beyond their ego to get to the heart of the matter. The leaders of the future will be those who lead by example with emotional depth, character, candor, and humor; those who speak with intelligence and heart, compassion, and courage.
In UpLevel Your Communication, author Dr. Miluna Fausch helps executives and leaders learn to speak in a voice that is clear, charismatic, courteous, compassionate, courageous, and inclusive.

It's time to stop talking at people instead of with them. It's time to stop using aggressive, bullying language and expecting folks to do what you say simply because you're the boss. When you choose to begin to speak differently, it will lead directly to a better quality of life, both personally and professionally. It's time to reinvent and re-create yourself and the way you express yourself, and find your pitch-perfect voice.

For millennia, rice has sealed the fate of dynasties and kingdoms in Asia but has
only remained a cultural curiosity to Western financial markets. Today the
food and agricultural markets of India and China are in motion. The history
of agricultural change is littered with hunger, poverty and failure. Will
that curse pass itself on to this Asian generation? Or is there a brighter
future ahead of us? Now China is rapidly becoming the wealthiest country in
the world. China's water shortages and its rice market are fault lines that
finger their way beneath the surface of the world economy. These fault lines
are sending out tremors that could shake the entire world in the next few
years. Rice is a little grain but a big deal in Asia. The Great Wall of China
is cemented together with sticky rice. It uses up to 70% of the water
resources of China. Rice's 200,000,000 farms feed 3,000,000,000 people. Yet
it is grown on an area the size of France. Rice is the social cement of Asia
and the rice farms of Asia may crack that ancient cement. This book explains
the ancient yet curiously modern story of rice that binds feudal farms to the
new super cities across China. At the center of this story is the rice
farmer, whose backbreaking labor feeds millions. In the next 15 years,
millions of farmers must transition from landless serfs into modern business
people skilled in all the technologies and versed in market risk. The rice
world lies on the dark side of this digital earth. But that world is turning
rapidly towards the light.

But one thing has always remained consistent with all of his clients over the years, not one of them ever lost a dime of principal or gains as a result of following his advice.

Dr. Bruton applies her knowledge about, and experience in, the social services sector to act as your mentor, helping you avoid the pitfalls and take advantage of the opportunities endemic to this unique work environment.

• Can Do – Putting in the kind of effort that will make your work stand out
• Change – Being prepared for change and taking advantage of it

Dr. Bruton lays out both how you can avoid wrong moves in these areas and how to do the right things. As a psychologically sophisticated guide to working in the social services sector, she provides you with the tools you need to succeed and be fulfilled.

“This is a book about approaching your life creatively by keeping your interests alive rather than pushing them aside or worse — actively giving up on them.”

Author Debbe Daley begins her at turns funny and heart wrenching reflection on the ups and downs of making a career as an entrepreneur with the question, “What is going to make me happy? ” That’s a question she finds herself needing to answer carefully at various transition points — like getting married, having a baby, getting divorced, starting her own business — up to and including the present moment, when she’s presented with yet another opportunity to creatively shape her own life.

Interior Motives takes the reader on a journey through Daley’s attempt to establish a career as an interior designer in the New England area. Along the way, Daley offers readers insight into the role that negativity plays in keeping people from doing what they love. “Focusing on the monetary costs of the change we want to make is one of the most convincing ways that we set up obstacles for ourselves, ” Daley writes, before offering readers a hearty dose of encouragement. “ If you want to do something that’s going to make you happy, there will always be alternative paths than the first ones — or the easiest or fastest or most expensive ones — you imagine. There are always other avenues to take. The important thing is committing to taking the journey, believing that it’s worthwhile, getting on that path in some way or other, and seeing where it goes. ”

Daley’s career narrative is intricately interwoven with stories of family, friends, and love, and even offers readers a unique take on design industry challenges. She tracks a field undergoing its own major transitions from the 1980s, “...when a room full of traditionally trained designers gasped at the suggestion that there would be a major shift within the profession away from a more formal aesthetic,” to the 2020s, where she joins, “a room full of relaxed and talented young people dancing and celebrating everything that was new and different about the design world.”

Having made her way in life and career by laying claim to the value of hard work and independence, Daley leaves readers with an equally convincing message about the need for entrepreneurs to be surrounded by people who can push them forward, keep them learning and engaged, and cheer on their successes. “In the end, there’s no going it alone,” she writes, reminding her readers that answering the question, “What is going to make me happy?” always involves and reflects our relationships to the people closest to us.

Imagine The Smile You Always Wanted

Modern orthodontic technologies have made the process of moving teeth faster, more comfortable, and more convenient. There are even do-it-yourself treatments advertised on TV and the internet that some people are tempted to try to straighten their teeth. Patients themselves have also changed; only a few years ago, most orthodontic patients were children and adolescents. These days, many more adults are looking to have their teeth straightened. Yet one thing hasn’t changed—the biology of the way teeth move. Yes, current treatment happens faster than ever before, but ensuring that teeth move correctly during treatment takes oversight by a trained and experienced orthodontist and team. That’s something you don’t get with do-it-yourself options. But with so much misinformation online, it’s difficult to get the best answers. With Life Transformative Smiles: Orthodontic Treatments and Technologies for the Smile You’ve Only Imagined, Dr. Jep Paschal answers some of the questions most often heard at Paschal Orthodontics for those who are making an important decision about orthodontic treatment for themselves or their children.

For years, Marcy Eisenberg and her company, Pathoras, have seen firsthand projects that meandered with no purpose or relevance—wasting billions of dollars, years of precious time, and resources that were already limited. Quality and quantity faltered, and the downstream effects were devastating—confidence lost in an organization, reputations damaged. All because of projects that missed critical marks that actually mattered to a team or organization.
In her book The Relevance Path™️, Eisenberg presents her secret sauce—the seven steps on the path to relevance—that edges teams and organizations beyond the competitive odds, ensures strong organizational reputations, and builds a brand of unparalleled confidence.
If you want to save time and money, identify project needs and goals with greater clarity, implement greater efficiencies and productivity, or recalibrate a project so that its ROI exceeds expectations, then this book is for you.

MOST PEOPLE HAVE SOMETHING THEY WOULD LIKE TO DO BETTER.
If your job is to help them do that, where do you begin? You might think that because he served as a player development coach in the NBA, Phil Weber would suggest that you start by immediately focusing on the specific skills. What will surprise you about this book is that it starts with and builds on the mental and relational aspects of development that must be established first. Weber lays out a blueprint that addresses the importance of mindset as a foundation for the developmental process. And since all players (and all people) are different, there is no one-size-fits-all approach. This book describes how to identify the unique motivators and triggers that people bring to the table and how to meet them where they are psychologically and emotionally in order to create the right developmental process for them.

On the most basic level, Soles4Souls distributes donated shoes and clothing to people in need, at no cost. This ongoing work is a key component of their overall mission: Wearing Out Poverty. But it’s just one facet of the work they undertake to serve those in need, create opportunity, and protect the environment. By redirecting shoes and clothing from landfills to those who need them, they also champion sustainability.

With over thirty million pairs of shoes distributed thus far, plus literally tons of clothing, author Buddy Teaster outlines Soles4Souls' evolution in Shoestrings, reflecting the power of their work and the significant change they’ve been able to enact. Teaster delves into inspiring stories of how the organization has not only provided essential items to individuals but has also fostered entrepreneurship and economic independence in impoverished communities through micro-business programs.

Begun in response to the Indian Ocean tsunami that struck multiple countries in 2004, Soles4Souls was initially known as a disaster-relief organization. The story of their transformation to the deeper mission they pursue today as a registered non-profit is one of humanitarian concern, human frailty and error, and humankind’s ability to overcome seemingly insurmountable circumstances. Through innovative strategies and partnerships, Soles4Souls continues to fight poverty and inspire hope worldwide.

François Sicart shares his lessons on life and wealth building from fifty years on Wall Street.
Good fortune helps, but lasting wealth and generational patrimonies are built through instinct, timing, and patience. No one understands that better than François Sicart, whose own fifty-year career on Wall Street originated from a simple twist of fate.
With a veteran’s expert wisdom, Sicart shares insights from his distinguished career in the service of families and individuals. From epic trades to manic bubbles and massive crashes, to maintaining a steady hand at the helm of two companies as the industry underwent many changes, Sicart managed to grow clients’ fortunes through it all. Not merely a book about investment, Luck Is Not Enough examines the delicate family dynamics involved in building a patrimony—and warns against the mistakes that make it so easy to lose a fortune between generations.
Luck Is Not Enough is a compelling reminder that one should train oneself to look for opportunities, not right in front of one’s nose but in less obvious places—and to have the boldness and vision to go for it, even when the crowd holds back.

What’s the “secret sauce” to Supercharged Communications? Can it be quantified? Can it be taught? More than that, as a leader, who are you? What are the values you project—not just in the workplace but 24/7?

David Schreiner, Ph.D., spent years researching and speaking to executives and people in large organizations across the country to try to discover just that. The good news is he uncovered three essential elements to communication:

Engage and connect at a personal level.
Engage with intent through various mediums.
Be mission-focused through united leadership.

He also pinpointed fifteen effective strategies—principles and concepts you could begin to apply to your organization today. He created a platform of Supercharged Communications he could use as a CEO in the healthcare industry—but that could be applied no matter the sector, no matter the circumstances.

Utilizing the technique of Appreciative Inquiry—and a real and personal desire to connect with others, David Schreiner has embraced authentic leadership and distilled its best practices. Research-based and actionable, Schreiner invites the reader on a personal journey to get at the very heart of their organization—and the communications principles that can ensure readers are the best part of the day for the people they encounter.

One Big Idea

Organizations have to be good at lots of things, but the way to win is to become differentiatingly great at One Thing. The one thing every executive team must decide is, "What is your One Thing?"Four Typical ResponsesBased on our experience, we know that the Decide One Thing concept will get four different responses.

Some organizations will categorically reject the idea that they need to become great at One Thing.

Some will think it is cool, but get distracted by the next cool idea or fad that comes along. Some will embrace the concept for a time, but give up because implementing it is too hard.

A few executive teams will fully commit to the Decide One Thing. Align Everything. Win! model. These organizations will generate incredible results – 30, 60 or 100 times their investment.

So, which of the four responses will you have?

There has never been a moment like this in history. Our generation is the first to have a choice in how we age. Because of the development and perfection of bio-identical hormone replacement therapy, we can now choose to change our hormone chemistry back to the way it was when we were 25 years old.

In my practice, we have placed bio-identical hormone pellets subcutaneously for over 20,000 men and women over the last decade. No severe complications. Over 98 percent patient satisfaction. Scientists and researchers in study after study have cleared the way for this dream.

We use holistically developed, plant-based hormone pellets that dissolve over time, adding just the right amount of hormone restoration. The days of synthetic hormones are over.

We’re stopping the discomfort of aging. What’s the downside of preventing dementia, stopping osteoporosis, or lessening your chance of disease? “Watchful waiting” does not make any sense to me. What are you watching for? Why wait? Do you want these diseases to attack you before you put up your defenses? You could enjoy intimacy with your partner again. You might enjoy traveling healthily with a healthy partner. You might see the doctor less. Your life will have new energy.

The sooner you restore your hormones, the less likely you will lead a frail elderly conclusion to your life. We replace hormones in patients from 18 to 86 years of age, with most patients complaining of running out of gas, tired of being tired, grumpy, unmotivated, or suffering from brain fog, menopause (men and women), and other physical symptoms.

Our hormones are vital. And why would we live over half of our life without them? What could we alleviate? Visceral fat, diabetes, osteoporosis, dementia, all these things if we had a youthful chemistry. I love this restoration of youth. It’s the coolest thing I have ever seen. “We’re restoring the homeostasis balance of our body.” We’re restoring the homeostasis balance of our body. That’s all we’re doing. The body itself is brilliant enough to do its work. We’re bio-identically restoring the fuel source.

Use your medical freedom. Watch the results.

Once your hormone levels are like a 25-year-old again, and you have the accumulated knowledge and wisdom of your years, that’s the holy grail. The holy grail is having your health and life span occupy the same real estate. For me, that’s all we can ever ask for in this life.

That’s all we’re trying to do. That’s our holy grail. That’s our journey. Restoration.

This is your personal invitation to age gracefully.

The Corporateneur Plan shares stories and teachings from the business journey of Ken Rohl over a lifetime building an extraordinarily successful presence in the “white space” he identified within the luxury home market. Grounded in research and enlivened with personal anecdotes, The Corporateneur Plan is a guidebook for every aspiring entrepreneur to read before cutting the cord from their corporate careers and setting out on their own journey.

These are the “rules of the road” that Ken’s son Greg adopted, trademarking his consulting company “The Rohl Model.” Its value proposition is rooted in 40 years of proven processes developed over Ken’s lifetime of learning, teaching, leading, and building relationships—with employees, customers, suppliers, and the myriad of associations that together contributed to his successes. This book is a roadmap for others who, like Ken, Pam, and Greg, stepped out of a corporate career to start a business of their own.

What Was Your First Memory of Race?

This opening question is the heart and soul of “Room at the Table.” The word equity is thrown around in multiple media outlets, corporations, and non-profits. Diversity, Equity, Inclusion… Many shy away from these terms, convinced that they already understand. In truth, these concepts are a mystery to most. It’s more important than ever to grasp the vital, far-reaching aim of the equity lens. What does this work look like? What does it sound like? What actions must equity leaders take to turn the future of leadership into a reality?

With public health injustices on the rise, grounded equity leadership can forge the path to a more healthy, understanding, and effective outlook for all of our futures. In her groundbreaking work, Dr. Renee Branch Canady, CEO of the Michigan Public Health Institute, shares through research and candid stories what it’s like to be on the front lines as an equity public health leader. In a culture centered on optics, Dr. Canady brings to light the true act of doing for the sake of change.

Points of focus include:

• The innovative concept of “Leadering”
• Using our outrage to enact change
• Seeing, saying, and doing differently
• Acting courageously in the face of institutional racism
• Leading with authenticity
• Harboring the conviction to move equity work forward, one step at a time

In Dr. Canady’s words, “Health equity leadership is a new leadership in this space that’s predicated by what’s happening at this moment. It hasn’t happened before. Focusing on others, a willingness to be courageous, and a willingness to do something that hasn’t been done before is a grey space in health equity leadership.”

“Room at the Table” addresses this grey space with unflinching honestly and hope.

STRIVE TOGETHER TO BUILD A CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM
Do you want to build winning teams or championship teams?
Winning teams are results-obsessed. Any result will do no matter how low the bar—whatever it takes to compare favorably with The Competition. These teams are built from the outside-in. Decisions are made after asking questions like: “How will this look?” “How will this feel?” and, most importantly, “How will we compare?”
Championship teams are driven by a purpose that transcends winning. Champions don’t compare - they compete based on the origin of compete, ‘to strive together.’ Championship teams are built from the inside-out. Decisions are made after asking: “Will this align with who we are?” and, most importantly, “Will this make us better?”
Today we live in a world of ambiguity. Young people are entering a workplace that is increasingly disruptive and unpredictable. Seeking to work collaboratively is no longer sufficient to meet this challenge. Simply “working together” was perfect for Henry Ford’s assembly line. But in today’s rapid change economy “striving together” is required because productivity and the ability to constantly innovate have become the keys to success.
Winning teams are focused on competing externally. They are built to project a certain image. Championship teams are built to innovate. They compete internally and create their own best practices - which prepares them for anything The Competition throws at them!
In Strive Together, Jeff Moore provides business leaders with a framework for building teams that achieve beyond expectations in a rapid change environment and helps leaders in education understand how to prepare young people to thrive in ambiguity!

How can parents take back their power to discover and develop the best way to parent for their child?

By hitting the pause button, shutting out all the noise that tells them how they should parent, and building the confidence to create the relationship that best nurtures and supports their children’s well-being and independence.

Three years into parenting, Lisa Anderson realized that the way she was parenting wasn’t healthy for her or her daughter. She sought counseling to help her figure it out, and so began her journey of discovering the best parenting approach for her child.

Lisa had her work cut out for her. When her daughter was six, the advisors at her school expressed concern that she had ADHD. Lisa took her to a psychologist who, after months of testing, diagnosed her with BRAT syndrome. “It took me a minute to realize what he meant—she was a brat.”

It was at this point that Lisa realized she had never said “no” to her daughter, not because she thought it was best for her daughter, but because that’s what she knew.

“I was going to create a little monster if I didn’t change my way of thinking and shift my focus from what I needed to what my daughter needed.”

It was a difficult concept to understand, and an even more challenging task to achieve, but through her work on her own trauma coupled with her education and experience in social work and counseling, Lisa figured it out. Not the way to be a perfect parent, but the way to be the best parent for her child. Isn’t that what every parent really wants and what every child deserves?

Fear, guilt, and social pressures are driving parents to be over-involved and their children to be overscheduled and overstressed. Children’s freedom to develop their autonomy is being restricted under the guise of keeping them safe from things we simply cannot control. Hypervigilant parenting comes at a significant cost to all of us, as is evident through the increasing number of anxious and depressed children and the emerging adults who lack the confidence and the skills to be self-sufficient. Somewhere along the way we have forgotten that our number one job as parents is to raise our children to be capable, independent adults.

Something needs to change.

In The Spirit of Philanthropy, Frank Pisch dissects fundraising, showing how it is both an art and a science. Pisch, the founder of The Compass Group, uses his knowledge in the field to give philanthropists an understanding of best practices for fundraising. Building a great team, finding the best volunteers, creating a Gifts Chart, and more are discussed in this easy-to-read guide. From the early stages of a fundraising campaign to the days after it’s done, The Spirit of Philanthropy will be your blueprint for raising money for your nonprofit and more.

BUT HER SPIRIT HAS BEEN
CLAIMED BY A DARK PRESENCE.

Abandoned by her mother as a child, she lives on a coastal road to nowhere, working endless hours on her domineering father's fishing boat in the shadow of a run-down lighthouse.

The Stepped Approach: Onboard Better, Systemize Smarter, and Bring Out the Best in Your Sales Team

It is a mystery why sales leaders are often thrown into their positions without a clue as to how to go about guiding a sales team. In most professions, training is a requirement, but many times sales leaders are simply hired with the expectation that they intrinsically know how to motivate and encourage a team. Most often this is not the case and author Dionne Mejer has spent the last several decades training sales leaders how to effectively lead using a simple-to-follow stepped approach that consistently gives great results.
In The Stepped Approach: Onboard Better, Systemize Smarter, and Bring Out the Best in Your Sales Team, Dionne lays out a simple but effective system that will have your sales team buzzing with productivity, team spirit, and positivity. She holds nothing back when sharing a system that she has proven to be highly effective and manageable. Using worksheets, scorecards, and accountability activities, sales leaders are taught not only how to bring out the best in their teams, but to use what they’ve learned to become great all-around leaders both in their professional and personal lives.

Financial Security Is Closer Than You Think

These days, between taxes and consumption, many people have nothing left to invest. Tom Curran will show you that it doesn't have to be that way, and he will advise you on how to change that.

How David Beats Goliath: Access to Capital for Contingent-Fee Law Firms addresses
a little-known but critical flaw in America’s system of justice. Average
citizens and workers who have been injured or wronged through negligence or
malfeasance are guaranteed their day in court. In practice, however, this
bedrock legal right is compromised. The problem is a paucity of fair and
reasonable funding for expenses incurred in the bringing of personal-injury
and other lawsuits. Writing for trial attorneys who represent middle-class or
even indigent clients, author and finance expert Michael J. Swanson outlines
this complex problem in a clear and lucid book that every dedicated trial
lawyer should own. “By temperament, training and the long traditions of their
profession, contingent-fee lawyers often fail to maximize the business needs
of their practices,” says Swanson, “They especially fail to understand and
control the cost of their capital structure.”

A Treasured Gift from a Father to his Son

As a senior in high school, I received a special gift from my father.

As I was about to leave home for college, my father handed me an eleven-page handwritten letter that contained his best advice for his son. The letter contained quotes from Shakespeare, snippets from classic literature, and candid confessions about things that my dad wished he had done differently.

The letter was written by pen but might as well have been written in granite. I still have this letter in a drawer in my bedroom closet and I read parts of it about once a month. To this day, I treasure my father’s words of wisdom.

As we get older, we realize that there are many lessons that life gives us. These lessons in life are invaluable. But these lessons in life are not serving anyone unless we share them with our family, friends, and even strangers.

About three years ago, I began writing the most important lessons that I’ve learned in my life. The life lessons range from almost every aspect of life, including health and nutrition, financial management, faith, professional goal setting, and virtues such as perseverance, sacrifice, and gratitude.

Ninety-seven percent of these life lessons are based upon abject failures, repeated mistakes, and, in some cases, heartbreak, but our mistakes and failures make us who we are. And I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Win Today was inspired by my father, James H. Fisher, Esq., who knew better than anyone that the greatest lessons aren’t taught in a classroom.

Leadership is a choice. You can choose to stay positive and in the moment, or you can let yourself be full of doubt and negativity. It takes as much energy to be frustrated as it does to be resourceful, and it's hard to be both at the same time.

We tend to think of leadership as flashing swords, generals on horseback, and Winston Churchill. For all the achievement billed as leadership, I believe real leadership goes deeper. I've learned that true leadership is to win from the middle.

Power lies in the middle of the organization, at its core, in its heart.

We hear about strengthening the core, as a physical fitness or martial arts term. We strengthen our physical core through nutrition and exercise, to be better at delivering or taking a punch. And life is a punch; we all know it. To strengthen our core, is to first discover the core of ourselves.

To get to the core of leadership, we need to peel down through the layers of our lives. At the core of an apple are the seeds. At the core of our bodies is the heart. The seed is the essence of the apple, and the heart is the essence of our humanity, and in both lie the promise of new growth.Our core captures and radiates our life, and to be better requires strength. The center of who we are. Humble and sacrificed is the more true measure of teaching ourselves and others to win from the middle.

Why Do So Many Kids HATE School?

A Paradigm Shift Is Necessary In Education. And Now, A Colledge Football Coach Offers Such Reform.

As coaches, we have opportunities that teachers do not. Coaching is a performance based working relationship that relies on the mastery of fundamentals and technique to create a competitive advantage. Coaches are held accountable for an athlete's performance on and off the field. This leads us very quickly to a fork in the road. We can bend the rules academically, and manipulate the system so that they can get through and stay eligible, or we can invest deeply in them and help them technically and fundamentally so that they can become legitimate, independent performers in all areas of life.

I see myself at the center of the paradigm shift, which is based on skills and ideas, not subjects and orders. Study hall, medication, tutoring and other conventional forms of intervention aren't what we need. They aren't the long-term solution. We need sustained performance based change that is built on fundamentals and technique. If we are going to effect permanent, long-lasting, fundamental change, the paradigm shift has to begin somewhere other than in the schools. Therefore, parents and educators must pursue such change individually through a program like Academic Gameplan.

Academic Gameplan is a coaching based program that teaches the rules, fundamentals and techniques to the game of school. The life skills we teach are SOLID, SIMPLE, and REPEATABLE. AGP is the ROCK upon which students are building lifelong success!

TO SET AND MEET YOUR MONEY GOALS WITH OUR DIVERSE TRIO OF INVESTORS.

Meet our investors — Elle, Collins, and Jade — three women whose decades-long friendship sees them through the major milestones of personal and financial life. While the trio are nothing but supportive of each other, they each have very different attitudes toward money. Since their financial backgrounds and perspectives are so varied, they decide to set wealth-building goals and track their progress together. Their plans are as diverse as they are.

As we follow our investors over the decades, we see them grow when it comes to how they handle their finances, to how they navigate what life brings. Their vibrant stories offer practical advice and motivation for women who want to take charge of their finances, no matter which stage of life they are in.
