This book was released on 2018-05-21 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God sent me to empower the business people, to raise effective leadership and give the youth a sense of direction and achievement: I am to give to the church, the "things" I was giving the business world. This is the number one reason why I wrote this book. I discovered a powerful truth after about twenty years in the world of work and business. The first seven years in two salaried jobs and next ten years as a self employed professional, another three years as people's skills developer, business and leadership coach, and CEO of Christian Leadership Skills Inc., I discovered that having a job gets in the way of getting rich. When you read the next chapter on "21 REASONS WHY YOU MUST FIRE YOUR BOSS AND HIRE YOURSELF," you will see the second reason why I wrote this book. I had an encounter through a chanced discussion with my bank manager some years ago, after ten years of doing business. She asked if I was involved or knowledgeable in investing. Her experience got me startled. I wished I had been to her earlier. She told me that her family had been living on dividend income for about four years following seven years of commitment to investment. This highly paid banker hardly used her salaries nor that of her husband's business to run the family. They never needed to. I learnt the difference between earning money and making money. Prior to this period, I was working harder than my money. Following this divine enlightenment, I learnt, how to make my money work harder and how to be rich. This is the third reason why I wrote this book - to get your job out of your way, so you can be rich. Your employers can never make you rich.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ARE YOU READY TO HIRE YOURSELF? WHO hasn't had the inkling-or even the outright conviction-that we could be more successful, more fulfilled, and more satisfied if we could invest in ourselves? HOW MANY of us have given our time, our knowledge, our energy, and our loyalty to corporate careers, only to discover that our contributions don't guarantee gratitude, upward mobility, or even job security? WHY consider franchising? Franchise investors reap all the rewards of entrepreneurship-self-determination, personal and professional freedom, unlimited potential for profitability-without all the risks of going it alone. WHAT'S the difference? In franchising, someone has already dreamed the big dream, figured out how to make it work, marketed it well, and sold it to create a well-defined niche. And now, that person is looking for an investor and partner to help build on that success. HIRE YOURSELF WILL HELP YOU: - Leverage your expertise and resources to build a bridge out of the corporate world and into entrepreneurship - Learn how to choose a franchise concept that's the right franchise for you - Understand how to capitalize your investment and minimize your risks - Recognize and avoid common mistakes and traps - Know that franchising is all about working for yourself, but not by yourself

Book excerpt: From bestselling writer David Graeber—“a master of opening up thought and stimulating debate” (Slate)—a powerful argument against the rise of meaningless, unfulfilling jobs…and their consequences. Does your job make a meaningful contribution to the world? In the spring of 2013, David Graeber asked this question in a playful, provocative essay titled “On the Phenomenon of Bullshit Jobs.” It went viral. After one million online views in seventeen different languages, people all over the world are still debating the answer. There are hordes of people—HR consultants, communication coordinators, telemarketing researchers, corporate lawyers—whose jobs are useless, and, tragically, they know it. These people are caught in bullshit jobs. Graeber explores one of society’s most vexing and deeply felt concerns, indicting among other villains a particular strain of finance capitalism that betrays ideals shared by thinkers ranging from Keynes to Lincoln. “Clever and charismatic” (The New Yorker), Bullshit Jobs gives individuals, corporations, and societies permission to undergo a shift in values, placing creative and caring work at the center of our culture. This book is for everyone who wants to turn their vocation back into an avocation and “a thought-provoking examination of our working lives” (Financial Times).
