That is the reason that books like </span><a href="https://amzn.to/2X7IX1Z" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The One Minute Manager</span></a><span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> and </span><a href="https://amzn.to/2tpWeoO" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In Search of Excellence</span></a><span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> are still relevant today. Sometimes we all need a little reminder about what we should be doing in our organizations. </span></div>
<br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Back in the 80s, we saw a bunch of McManagement programs where someone came in and put up some posters with a slogan on it. We called this Management Du Jour. </span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The next thing you knew, you were issued a binder with the new McManagement slogan on it. If you were lucky, you got a t-shirt with the slogan on it and everyone got a tote bag, coffee mug, and some balloons, each with the new slogan on it. </span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The corporate suits would gather all the front line people together. They would all sing Kumbaya and recite the new slogan and then it was back to the same old same old. </span></div>

It is a common sense approach to how to improve your organization. </span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This short book has just five simple steps to help leaders remind themselves of what is important and actually get to lead. A fast reader can read this book in about a half hour to an hour, assuming no pesky interruptions like the boss or work. </span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The book is well written. There are a few funny stories that are pertinent to the subject being discussed that help keep the reader engaged. </span></div>

No. Will it provide a different perspective for you? Yes, probably. </span></div>

<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If everything works out the way the author Derek Yach seems to think it will, we will soon all be living in a smoke-free world. </span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I have to admit, if I were browsing a book store or searching through Amazon, I probably would pass this book by. </span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If I had passed up on reading this book, I would have missed reading a wealth of information that I would not have received anywhere else. </span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I really don’t know how the WHO works, but I know the FDA is made up of a bunch of goons that couldn’t regulate a dog fight. I say this because they won’t allow natural foods and supplements to be sold unless they are willing to bow down and say that the only treatment for cancer is chemotherapy and radiation.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">These same cancers are caused because the FDA does not do its job to protect our food supply. Case in point, GMO isn’t as benign as it sounds. We are sent countless books to review that are written by top doctors in their fields. These books tell us that GMO means that the chemical known as Roundup, an herbicide, is grown into our foods. And the FDA doesn’t think that it is important for us to know which of our foods are GMO?</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The FDA didn’t even look at mesh implants before they were approved for implanting in humans. </span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Now, </span><a href="https://amzn.to/2GrO6Mh" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Project Unthinkable</span></a><span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> tells us there is hope for us all. The hope doesn’t come from government regulations of tobacco, but from one of the largest tobacco companies in the world. </span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This book is very well written and, believe it or not, it is very entertaining. You will learn a lot about what you didn’t know you didn’t know. This is the kind of book that you will be surprised you found to be so interesting you just can’t put it down. </span><br />

This seems like we need to clarify what is right or what is wrong, but humans are endowed with an instinct that tells us what is right and what is wrong. This works well, until it doesn’t.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">It seems that greed will cause a person’s moral compass to fail. I have seen it before. All the front line employees could see a crisis coming, but the powers that be simply would not listen to those who could actually see that the emperor had no clothes. </span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In the book </span><a href="https://amzn.to/2CGM7RL" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Broken Business: Seven Steps to Reform Good Companies Gone Bad by José R. Hernandez</span></a><span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">, the author presents a case study of a fictitious company that is based on a composite of several companies he has worked with. </span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Hernandez tells his readers about how there are many myths regarding corporate scandal and how it is important to deal with them properly when they occur. </span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">He points out that most companies don’t just all of a sudden have a crisis. Typically, it is a series of things that could have been nipped in the bud had the C-Suite been paying better attention to the details. </span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The author tells his readers about how a company responds initially to a crisis. He points out how on top of it Johnson and Johnson was during the Tylenol scare. </span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">It is also important that the company admits to wrongdoing as soon as they are made aware of it. </span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Nixon might have remained president until the end of his term if he had just admitted to his part in Watergate instead of lying to Congress and the American people. Clinton’s scandal would have gone away much sooner had he just admitted it.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Reagan appeared before the nation and admitted that wrongdoing happened on his watch. Most of us forgot all about the whole Iran Contra thing soon after that. No, we didn’t completely forget, but it was no longer a major deal. </span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In Broken Business, we learn about the necessary steps to get a business back on track after a major, self-inflicted crisis. </span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If your business is going through a crisis, Broken Business just may offer you some helpful tools. If your business isn’t going through a crisis, it is best you go ahead and read it now. Sooner or later, one or several of your employees will, as our kids say, “Do the stupid”. This book might help you be ready when they do. </span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<a href="https://amzn.to/2CGM7RL" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Broken Business</span></a><span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> is well-written and very readable. There aren’t any complicated charts, graphs, or theories, just good, common sense advice to help you keep your company moving forward. </span></div>

<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

If you have not read anything about helping you cope in your career, then </span><a href="https://amzn.to/2LwCo3l" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Career ReCharge: Five Strategies to Boost Resilience and Beat Burnout by Beth Benatti Kennedy</span></a><span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> might be just the thing for you. </span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If you have read other books on dealing with the corporate world or overcoming burnout, then you will see that this book takes you on a journey to the same place most of the others did, just along a slightly different path. </span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">For the most part, this book is very helpful in finding new tools to help one deal with the stresses of everyday life in the corporate world. </span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">However, the one negative in this book is that the author finds it necessary to take every opportunity to tell us that this way is unique because it is the Benatti Resiliency Model. This is repeated so often that you begin to think the idea is to make you resilient by repeating this as a mantra of sorts. </span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If you have never read a book about dealing with toxic people, burnout, fatigue, loss of motivation, or related issues, then </span><a href="https://amzn.to/2LwCo3l" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Career ReCharge: Five Strategies to Boost Resilience and Beat Burnout</span></a><span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> would be a good choice to be your first book on the subject. </span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If, however, you have read multiple other books on this same subject, you won’t find very much new here. It is just told a little bit differently. This would make it an excellent text for anyone who has tried reading other books of this sort and did not find a permanent solution to their problem. This one might just be the one that sticks. </span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Like stated before in this review, if you haven’t read other books on this subject, this will probably be the only one you need to read. </span></div>

<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Then, we are sent a book like </span><a href="https://amzn.to/2SK5heQ" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Trump and the Jews by David Rubin</span></a><span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> that is so different in nature, I don’t even know how to categorize it. </span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Author David Rubin tells us so many things that I never knew that I never knew. I had heard of the Six Days War. I did not know how amazing it actually was. </span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This is not your typical “Pro-Trump” book. And it isn’t anti-Trump by a long shot. What we learn is about many Presidents of the United States and how they opposed Israel. Any real Christian knows that any enemy of Israel is an enemy of God. No questions asked. Just read your Bible. </span></div>

The writing is engaging and very well presented. The story told about the history of the United States and the history of Israel is an education in and of itself. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">For instance, I knew Carter was our worst President without any question. I knew that Obama was a failed President who had nothing but contempt for the United States of America. I didn’t know anything about where the other presidents fit in with Israel, but I do now. </span></div>

Maybe you should try it sometime.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<a href="https://amzn.to/2UvyVq1" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Giving It All Away…and Getting It All Back Again: The Way of Living Generously by David Green and Bill High</span></a><span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> takes readers through Green’s early years as a child all the way up to where he is now. </span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">One great thing about Giving it All Away is that it fits on almost all of the blogs and YouTube Channels we have. It is a book about business, so it fits on Redneck MBA. It is a book about religion and especially tithing, so it fits all kind of ways on How to Manage Your Monkey. It is a book so, of course, it fits on Book Reviews by Bird. And everything fits on Random Thoughts and Observations so, it fits there. </span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This book is a wonderful story of how Hobby Lobby took on the “guvment”, as we rednecks say, and won. But it is mostly a story about giving back. It shares how a large Pentecostal Holiness family gave much more than their due and inspired their children to do the same. </span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Hobby Lobby makes such a great juxtaposition to Walmart it is uncanny. A comparison and contrast between the two companies would make a great case study, thesis, or dissertation. </span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Walmart is all about the mighty dollar. They squeeze every vendor to get a better deal and leave the vendor with less. Hobby Lobby make sure everyone gets a fair deal. </span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Walmart runs all over their employees. Walmart employees have to work Thanksgiving or be fired. Hobby Lobby is closed on Sunday. Walmart is open 24/7/364. Hobby Lobby closes at 8 PM so their employees can spend time with their families. </span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Hobby Lobby is so supportive of a person’s right to life that they took on the U. S. Government, and WON. Walmart sells the “morning after pill” on their sales floor. The Walton family is/was allegedly Christian, but the stores Sam left behind don’t reflect it in any way. </span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">What would the world look like if EVERY company displayed true Christian values like Hobby Lobby?</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Giving it All Away would make a great small group Bible study for your church. It would make a great book for your chamber of commerce to distribute to all its members so that members could read it and see that it works to put God in control of your business, large or small. </span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">We really cannot say enough about </span><a href="https://amzn.to/2UvyVq1" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Giving it All Away</span></a><span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">. </span></div>

<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Creating-Sales-Stars-Managing-Millennials-ebook/dp/B07C66RPN7/ref=as_li_ss_il?ie=UTF8&qid=1541792683&sr=8-1&keywords=9780814439388&dpID=51vpRQEGkML&preST=_SY445_QL70_&dpSrc=srch&linkCode=li3&tag=manian-debil-productions-20&linkId=ba77d99764de3626484aee793c81e0ed&language=en_US" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="https://ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?_encoding=UTF8&ASIN=B07C66RPN7&Format=_SL250_&ID=AsinImage&MarketPlace=US&ServiceVersion=20070822&WS=1&tag=manian-debil-productions-20&language=en_US" /></a><span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=manian-debil-productions-20&language=en_US&l=li3&o=1&a=B07C66RPN7" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" width="1" />Many of we baby boomers see the Millennial Generation as a bunch of work-brittle, entitled, lazy, people who expect to be paid for not working. Many of us have experienced this first hand. </span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In the book </span><a href="https://amzn.to/2DvLyvT" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Creating Sales Stars: A Guide to Managing the Millennials on Your Team by Stephan Schiffman with Gary Krebs</span></a><span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">, we are told that nothing could be further from the truth. </span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">So, the question here is, do you trust what you see and experience or what an author tells you is the truth?</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Readers are also told why we should adapt our way of looking at this generation. The tone of the book appears to be, “Just deal with it”. We are given a lot of WHY we should just deal with it and only a little of HOW to deal with it. </span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">There may be a little truth to what the author teaches. The fact remains that we are in a job seekers’ market because this generation switches jobs often and expects to be paid well while being trained. This book could well make the case that we have developed a new career, “Trainee”. Meanwhile, more and more jobs go overseas to places where people WILL work. </span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The book is well written and does provide some excellent advice. However, reading this book won’t solve your problem. What it will do is make you feel a lot less empowered and, if you are the owner of a company, will probably make you want to close up shop or move to another country. </span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In the book, the author speaks of how ethical this generation is. There may be some validity to that but, readers should trust what they see in the real world and not what they read in a book. This is the same generation that often cheated on tests in college and also expected good college grades for very subpar work.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">We can only give this book a mediocre rating and very little in the way of recommendation. This isn’t so much because the writing is flawed; it isn’t. We give it an average rating because the premise is flawed. </span></div>

I, David, love to read case stories of businesses. I especially love to read the stories of failing businesses that were able to pull off a “Hail Mary” and turn around to greatness.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Both Suzanne and I love to read inspirational stories about Christians beating all the odds and growing in their faith. </span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<a href="https://amzn.to/2TDEvWP" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #1155cc; font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Bigger Than Business Real-World Stories of Business Owners Living Their Purpose by Jeff Holler</span></a><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> has all those elements and more. </span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Nowhere in the Bible will you find that God instructs anyone to go into debt for any reason. Just try to find that in the Bible. </span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In several stories in </span><a href="https://amzn.to/2TDEvWP" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #1155cc; font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Bigger than Business</span></a><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> you find where not having debt meant that the business was able to take advantage of opportunities because the economic climate favored those with cash. Several of these stories told of companies working to pay off their debt. </span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Most of these stories told of how they gave their tithe and then gave above and beyond that as the business grew. 10% of EBITDA* is given to the church, not other charities. The tithe goes to the storehouse.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">These stories are wonderful and inspiring. The stories are well-written and give a good bit of detail on the business before it got into trouble or before it even got started. </span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Many of these stories tell of a leap of faith, or in some cases, constant leaps of faith. Some of these stories show that when you are faced with the impossible in your business or other parts of your life, you have to Let go and Let God. </span></div>

It would also make a great gift to someone who isn’t a Christian who needs a little help in coming to Christ. </span></div>

<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This book is well-written and full of exercises to help leaders realize that the most important thing they can do is to formulate a plan, any plan, and get started. </span></div>
<br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Too often, businesses fail because the leaders won’t make decisions and stick with them. </span></div>

<br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The only real problem I saw in this book is that some of the graphics, especially those written in yellow, are hard to read. </span></div>

I found then that it was much more complicated than most would believe. Even to someone who has worked in the industry, </span><span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Birth of a Cemetery: Forest Lawn Memorial-Park by John F. Llewellyn makes for some very enlightening reading. </span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The business student in me was entertained by the convoluted ways they structured three different companies to reach one goal. </span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">It was an eye-opening experience to read about what went into the purchase of a crematory. Readers are told how some of the people involved in Forest Lawn took their duties to the families super seriously, while others squabbled like kids on a school ground. </span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This was a very interesting book and would make great reading for anyone studying business, business law, history, or Funeral Industry science. </span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This book is well-written and amazingly researched. It is very entertaining and informative. We give it all five stars.</span></div>

Strang</a> is all about. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Strang has definitely done his research. He cites multiple surveys and studies in his new book. The information given is amazingly detailed. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">All this detail does not mean the book is boring or that you will zone out when you read it. It is an interesting book that makes one think, “I did not know that.”</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Strang had several interviews with top Christian leaders like Franklin Graham and Dr. James Dobson to try to shed some light on this phenomenon that is sweeping the nation. That phenomenon is how a US President could make more progress in his first 500 days in office than any other president in the history of the USA and very little of it making it into the mainstream media. That which does make it is spun in such a way as to make it look trivial or bad.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">As a way of disclosure, we have to say that we did not vote for Donald Trump. We cast our vote for Castle. I, David, actually believed that Trump was meant to do for Hillary what Ross Perot did for Bill.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This same author wrote God and Donald Trump. We have not read that one, yet. <a href="https://amzn.to/2NrxUPH">Trump Aftershock</a> is very well-written, well-researched, and detailed. It is extremely eye-opening and would make a great read no matter whether you lean blue or you lean red. </span></div>

In fact, it will probably take you less than 15 minutes to read it. That is assuming you will be interrupted while you are reading. Don’t let its brevity fool you.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Any of us who are trying to build a YouTube channel, and fighting with YouTube/Google all the way, really need to know what we can do to put our best foot forward. </span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Let’s face it, what was once the best way to make money on the internet, YouTube, has now become very greedy and is making it more and more difficult to make it. </span></div>

Reading this book won’t make you a world-famous YouTuber. But, just like eating chicken soup when you feel ill, it can’t hurt and it just might help. </span></div>

Almost all of the books we read on investing start out by telling you what is wrong with all other forms of investing and why theirs is the one and only way to invest your money to earn an income.</span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<a href="https://amzn.to/2CWBdc6" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Employee Millionaire - Personal Workbook: How to Use Your Day Job to Become a Millionaire with Rental Properties by H J Chammas</span></a><span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> is different. He does give a little comparison and contrast between investing in rental property and investing in stocks and bonds. In this case, he actually gives the pros and cons for both. </span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Nowhere in the book does Mr. Chammas tell his readers it is going to be easy. He does not tell you that checks will pour in while you sip on umbrella drinks. </span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This book tells you how to get started on a fairly moderate income and then roll it into owning and renting out multiple properties. </span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">He takes his readers through the whole enchilada. He tells readers about the process of getting pre-approval for a loan and then finding properties and making an offer. </span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">He even tells his readers what they need to take to the closing on a sale of property. He attempts to make this “white-knuckle” event much less stressful.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Readers are given links to online forms that help with the whole process from start to finish. He even takes his readers through getting their budget in line before they start.</span></div>

<br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Whereas the secrets in 3 Weird "Marketing Secrets" Of Successful Authors On Amazon: How They Got To #1 by Shaun Hibbs aren’t really all that secret nor or they all that weird, they are all super effective. </span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">We have read hundreds of books on marketing on Amazon and most of those aren’t even worth the time it would take to write a review. </span><a href="https://amzn.to/2pOygl8" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">3 Weird "Marketing Secrets" Of Successful Authors On Amazon</span></a><span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> is the real deal. We know because we deal with publicists all the time and we see how they market many of those “Best Sellers”.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">These tips may not be all that secret and they might not be weird, but they are worth the price of the book. You may already know what Hibbs has to say, but you might not know you know, or you might not be using this information correctly.</span></div>

Anyone who owns a business, or is learning about business, is taught that early in their education. </span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In his new book, </span><a href="https://amzn.to/2IMpyfV" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Master Your Business Cash Flow: Grow the Company You Love, Live the Life You Want Now, Albert J. Zdenek</span></a><span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> gives business owners a few more tools for their toolbox. </span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">It is unlikely that Zdenek and I will ever see eye to eye when it comes to debt. However, one must realize that his company is valued in the millions, where as the company my wife Suzanne and I have has a net worth of negative 205.80. Yes, we managed to reach that level with a grand total of 34¢ in revenue.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">All joking aside, Zdenek makes a very good case for using debt to finance your business. It does make sense to use other people’s money whenever you can to finance your business. </span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

It is short, only 20 pages, including the appendix, but it contains loads of information.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">One may ask, “Is a twenty page booklet really worth the cover price?” We would answer that by asking you, “If Warren Buffett offered to sell you a single sheet of paper that contained the secret of how he got wealthy, what would that be worth to you?”</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The concept detailed in this book is not new, it just isn’t talked about a lot. We have reviewed two other books regarding the same subject in the last few months. This is not new. Many financial gurus will tell you that this method does not work. They advise you to buy term life insurance and invest in stocks and bonds. I believe these gurus are wrong.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If I had known about this back several years ago, I would be much better off today. If I had listened to my father, who had actually sold insurance years ago, I would have had this type of plan.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Aspen does not tell you that this way is the ONLY investment you need, like so many other investment books we have read, and there have been hundreds. He does suggest that this is a part of your investment plan. </span></div>

<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The book </span><a href="https://amzn.to/2P38rJh" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Authority Marketing: How to Leverage 7 Pillars of Thought Leadership to Make Competition Irrelevant by Adam Witty and Rusty Shelton</span></a><span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> explains in an easy to read way how you can come to be seen as a authority in your market. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">We here at Manian Debil Productions receive hundreds of articles written by many different authors. These articles are sent by many different publicists. We can only run so many. How do we choose which articles we run? I did not realize it before, but this book explains why we pick those select few. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If you are trying to break out in your niche, you will find this book to be very helpful. It is also eye-opening. It is sort of like Paco Underhill’s book </span><a href="https://amzn.to/2RixoSw" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Why We Buy</span></a><span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> in the idea that we should know this, but for some reason we don’t.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">When you read this book you will probably think, “I knew that”. When you do think that, you will then wonder why you didn’t act on what you knew. This book will help you act on that. </span></div>

Donohoe</span></a><span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> in just one word, that word would be “Refreshing”.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This book is refreshing because the author isn’t one of those One Trick Pony authors. You know what I mean. If you read a book on real estate investing, the author talks about how great an investment real estate is and how bad every other investment is. Donohoe doesn’t do that. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The author does tell us about how different investments actually fared over the years, and how his plan of using insurance to steady out the cash flow is not an “or” investment, but an “and” investment. In other words, his method is a part of a good investment strategy.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">One of the really great things about this book is that readers are given the history of different investments, why they were created and how they are being used today. He gives his readers the history of the insurance industry and how safe it actually is. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">By now, we have read multiple books on investing which really turn out to be sales brochures for a particular company and really expected this book to turn out the same way. The author’s company is mentioned a few times but, unlike most other books, he actually tells his readers how they can find this information for themselves, but emphasizes that his company is there to help. He invites us to use free tools on his website.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">That being said, we think it is an important read for anyone who hopes to someday get out of the level of hardcore poor and get up to the level of needing a financial advisor.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;">

<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Let’s face it, our target audience is not made up of the type of people who go out and buy cases of wine that they never open. Hopefully, our normal audience abstains from any type of intoxicating beverage.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;">

<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If you are this level of poor, chances are good you are more likely to encounter Wine in a Box than you are any type of wine that actually comes with a cork. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Author, Albert J. Zdenek, Jr., does give us some insight we can use as we get out of the level of hardcore poor and up to the level of The Millionaire next door.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;">

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Mr. Zdenek implies in some of his lead up to</span><a href="https://amzn.to/2P5aiNu" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Master Your Cash Flow</span></a><span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> that he is going to give us some comparisons regarding the choice to purchase or lease a new vehicle. We were interested to learn what he had to say about this comparison. We were looking for it, but never saw it.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">There are some very interesting differences of opinion in the book from what you have heard and will hear on</span><a href="http://how-to-manage-your-monkey.com/" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">How to Manage Your Monkey</span></a><span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">. We take more of a Dave Ramsey approach in that it makes more sense to pay off your mortgage and not have to have the interest payments.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">However, Mr. Zdenek makes a compelling case to take out a mortgage and invest the proceeds from said mortgage. We don’t agree with his philosophy but, let’s face it, he has more money than we have. It might be good to read</span><a href="https://amzn.to/2P5aiNu" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Master Your Cash Flow</span></a><span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> and make up your own mind.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">One of the best pieces of advice offered in the book, and is repeated often throughout</span><a href="http://amzn.to/2oKRoRZ" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1155cc; font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Master Your Cash Flow</span></a><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">, is to work with the experts. No one can be an expert in all areas. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">It is very sound to suggest working with your CPA, estate planning attorney, financial planner, and others as you see the need. Just stay away from taking advice from your brother-in-law Bud.</span></div>
