Download or read book The Income Factory An Investor s Guide to Consistent Lifetime Returns written by Steven Bavaria and published by McGraw Hill Professional. This book was released on 2020-02-28 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The proven, all-weather investing strategy that delivers long-term, consistent returns The most common investing approach today—one that values “growth” over all else—can be ineffective and counterproductive for many investors, not to mention needlessly stressful. Now, one of Seeking Alpha’s most popular writers, Steven Bavaria, provides a groundbreaking alternative that will see you through all markets—up, down, and sideways. The Income Factory shows how to build an income stream that increases solidly and consistently—a result of re-investing and compounding the dividends. And the best part? This income stream actually grows faster during market downturns than during flat or rising market periods. The Income Factory sheds light on: • Why “high-yield” doesn’t have to mean “high-risk” • How credit investments perform more predictably than equity investments • Why “junk” is a misnomer—and why high-yield debt is safer than most of the stocks investors own • How to grow your wealth steadily without following the markets obsessively Through Bavaria’s strategy, cash income increases year after year at a predictable rate. For example, a 9% yielding portfolio doubles and re-doubles every 8 years. If you’re in for the long haul, an Income Factory lets you achieve your goals and still sleep well at night. Investing does not have to be about picking specific horses and hoping they win the race. An Income Factory achieves its goals by essentially betting on horses to make it around the track and finish the race. Those are easier bets to win, and they don’t require us to be glued to the financial news 24/7.

Download or read book Why Startups Fail written by Tom Eisenmann and published by Currency. This book was released on 2021-03-30 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you want your startup to succeed, you need to understand why startups fail. “Whether you’re a first-time founder or looking to bring innovation into a corporate environment, Why Startups Fail is essential reading.”—Eric Ries, founder and CEO, LTSE, and New York Times bestselling author of The Lean Startup and The Startup Way Why do startups fail? That question caught Harvard Business School professor Tom Eisenmann by surprise when he realized he couldn’t answer it. So he launched a multiyear research project to find out. In Why Startups Fail, Eisenmann reveals his findings: six distinct patterns that account for the vast majority of startup failures. • Bad Bedfellows. Startup success is thought to rest largely on the founder’s talents and instincts. But the wrong team, investors, or partners can sink a venture just as quickly. • False Starts. In following the oft-cited advice to “fail fast” and to “launch before you’re ready,” founders risk wasting time and capital on the wrong solutions. • False Promises. Success with early adopters can be misleading and give founders unwarranted confidence to expand. • Speed Traps. Despite the pressure to “get big fast,” hypergrowth can spell disaster for even the most promising ventures. • Help Wanted. Rapidly scaling startups need lots of capital and talent, but they can make mistakes that leave them suddenly in short supply of both. • Cascading Miracles. Silicon Valley exhorts entrepreneurs to dream big. But the bigger the vision, the more things that can go wrong. Drawing on fascinating stories of ventures that failed to fulfill their early promise—from a home-furnishings retailer to a concierge dog-walking service, from a dating app to the inventor of a sophisticated social robot, from a fashion brand to a startup deploying a vast network of charging stations for electric vehicles—Eisenmann offers frameworks for detecting when a venture is vulnerable to these patterns, along with a wealth of strategies and tactics for avoiding them. A must-read for founders at any stage of their entrepreneurial journey, Why Startups Fail is not merely a guide to preventing failure but also a roadmap charting the path to startup success.

Download or read book Too Greedy for Adam Smith written by Steven Bavaria and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-10-30 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (LIBRARY EDITION) "Too Greedy for Adam Smith" is about how out-of-control CEO pay is destroying free enterprise in America. If a corporate purchasing manager rented office space from a cousin or crony at twice the market rate he would be fired in a heartbeat. But "sweetheart deals" that would be unethical elsewhere in the business world are the norm in the world of CEO pay, where highly conflicted boards of directors award pay packages many times the size normal free market economics would require. "Too Greedy for Adam Smith" explains in plain English how this is more than just flawed economics. It also gives capitalism a "bad name" as voters see our corporate elite living by a different set of rules than everyone else. Beyond paying CEOs more than they deserve, this encourages corporate behavior that has little economic purpose besides enriching management and its Wall Street enablers. Excessive one-time payoffs encourage CEOs to "swing-for-the-fences," so that doing mega-deals where they can "take the money and run" trumps doing what's best for the company in the long run. We need to reject the idea that excessive pay for CEOs is just a "normal" part of capitalism in the same way we refuse to accept price fixing, embezzlement and other corrupt activity. Boards of directors should be put on notice that approving such deals is a breach of their fiduciary duty, and they should be held to account through shareholder suits, SEC actions and by the press. This issue concerns everyone - Republican, Democrat, liberal, conservative - who values free enterprise and wants to see it maintained and strengthened.
