The Mega Producers: Secrets of Financial Services Superstars to Lead You to the Top - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: In the United States, slightly more than half of 1 percent of all the financial professionals control one-quarter of the country's monetary assets. These mega producers made their own rules for success, says financial services trainer and author Steven Drozdeck, and they now stand at the top of the industry with the wealthiest clients, the largest books (averaging over $1 billion), and the greatest financial gains. How did they do it? Each individual found his or her own way, emphasizes Drozdeck, typically going it alone, and frequently making unnecessary mistakes. He interviewed these exceptional people and, for the first time, describes the strategies and formulas that propelled them to the top of their field. In The Mega Producers readers will learn: * How they got started. * Major transitions in their careers, as well as major roadblocks. * Types of clients they deal with, and how to acquire such clients. * Their business structures, investment emphasis, and investment philosophies. * Their biggest errors and how, in hindsight, they could have avoided them. * Things they wish they had done differently. * Advice they offer to those following in their footsteps. There is a conspicuous void of resources and mentors in the financial services industry, according to Drozdeck. The Mega Producers offers a fresh approach, a synthesized description of what it takes to truly be "the best of the best" in the competitive world of financial management and planning. Most important, readers will learn what to do and what to avoid on the road to success.
Don't Listen to Phil Hellmuth: Correcting the 50 Worst Pieces of Poker Advice You've Ever Heard - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: What if many of the fundamental “truths” you’ve heardabout poker turned out to be false?Recognize any of these commonly held beliefs?• Preflop play doesn’t matter that much.• The key to getting paid off is playing looseso no one can put you on a hand.• Bigger 3-bets get more folds.• Calling is weak.• You have to bet this flop becauseyou don’t want to give up.There is certainly an element of truth to some of thesestatements, but by and large they are big misconceptions.Perhaps this shouldn’t bother us because, as poker pros, weprofit off the mistakes of others. But when we see so manyhigh-level players making so many fundamental mistakes intheir games, and having those moves endorsed by televisionannouncers, it’s enough to make us scream, “Stop! That’snot how it’s done!”This book focuses on correcting the greatest fallacies inpoker. There are an astonishing number of them, providingour common understanding of the game with an incrediblyshaky foundation. This did not come entirely as a surprise.Like many new players, we struggled to sift through allthe competing voices. One author would say this, anotherwould say that. For Dusty, it took more than 3 millionhands to generate an income that exceeded the sum totalof his bonuses.Hoping to give our readers a better leg up than wehad, we systematically take on what we recognize as flawedadvice. The two of us have combed through more than fourdecades of conventional poker wisdom. No one is spared:world champions, on-air commentators or other flavors ofthe month. Not even we are excluded from our criticism.One by one, we challenge each misconception, takingon what we feel are the top 50 ways to lose at poker. Byproving these misconceptions false, we think we benefit ourreaders in such a way that, by implementing these newfoundunderstandings, they can become more profitable tomorrow.We want this book to ultimately function as aFactCheck.org or “MythBusters” for poker. We hope you’llcome to look at us as watchdogs out to protect your interestsby questioning the powers that be.As we did in our previous books, Treat Your Poker LikeA Business and Way of the Poker Warrior, in this book wecover the game’s most frequent scenarios, seeking to providesolutions to situations that arise every 10 minutes rather thanonce a month. Our criteria for choosing misconceptions weresimple. Are they costing people money, and can we prove it?We hope to relate with our readers, letting them know thatthe scenario that’s vexing them now once did the same to us.Unlike our previous books, this is a comprehensivemanual that aims to troubleshoot the poker process fromthe top down, complete with hand analyses and a readerquiz at book’s end.The process of writing this book has led us to thinkabout coaching. Golfers don’t have 10 swing coaches.Baseball players don’t have 10 hitting coaches. Footballteams don’t have 10 offensive coordinators. But in poker,we tend to entertain advice from all comers, which leadsto confusion and a fragmented playing style. Why do wedo this?Profit motive.

Ten Things I Love About You (Bevelstoke, Book 3) - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: ―Annabel!‖Annabel snapped to attention. Louisa was addressing her with uncommon urgency, and she‘d dowell to listen.―Annabel, this is important,‖ Louisa said.Annabel nodded, and an unfamiliar feeling washed over her—maybe of gratitude, certainly oflove. She‘d only just got to know her cousin, but already there was a deep bond of affection, andshe knew that Louisa would do everything in her power to keep Annabel from making anunhappy alliance.Unfortunately, Louisa‘s power was, in this capacity, limited. And she did not—no, she couldnot—understand the pressures of being the eldest daughter of an impoverished family.―Listen to me,‖ Louisa implored. ―Lord Newbury‘s son died, oh, I think it must be a bit over ayear ago. And he started looking for a wife before his son was cold in his grave.‖―Shouldn‘t he have found one by now, then?‖Louisa shook her head. ―He almost married Mariel Willingham.‖―Who?‖ Annabel blinked, trying to place the name.―Exactly. You‘ve never heard of her. She died.‖Annabel felt her eyebrows rise. It was really a rather emotionless delivery of such tragic news.―Two days before the wedding she took a chill.‖―She died in only two days?‖ Annabel asked. It was a morbid question, but, well, she had toknow.―No. Lord Newbury insisted upon delaying the ceremony. He said it was for her welfare, thatshe was too ill to stand up in church, but everyone knew that he really just wanted to make sureshe was healthy enough to bear him a son.‖―And then?‖―Well, and then she did die. She lingered for about a fortnight. It was really very sad. She wasalways very kind to me.‖ Louisa gave her head a little shake, then continued. ―It was a near missfor Lord Newbury. If he‘d married her, he would have had to go into mourning. As it was, hehad already tried to wed scandalously soon after his son‘s death. If Miss Willingham hadn‘t diedbefore the wedding, he‘d have had another year of black.‖―How long did he wait before looking for someone else?‖ Annabel asked, dreading the answer.―Not more than two weeks. Honestly, I don‘t think he would have waited that long if he thoughthe could have got away with it.‖ Louisa looked about, her eyes falling on Annabel‘s sherry. ―Ineed some tea,‖ she said.
On Being Certain: Believing You Are Right Even When You're Not - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: You recognize when you know something for certain, right? You "know" the sky is blue, or that the traffic light had turned green, or where you were on the morning of September 11, 2001--you know these things, well, because you just do.In On Being Certain, neurologist Robert Burton challenges the notions of how we think about what we know. He shows that the feeling of certainty we have when we "know" something comes from sources beyond our control and knowledge. In fact, certainty is a mental sensation, rather than evidence of fact. Because this "feeling of knowing" seems like confirmation of knowledge, we tend to think of it as a product of reason. But an increasing body of evidence suggests that feelings such as certainty stem from primitive areas of the brain, and are independent of active, conscious reflection and reasoning. The feeling of knowing happens to us; we cannot make it happen.Bringing together cutting edge neuroscience, experimental data, and fascinating anecdotes, Robert Burton explores the inconsistent and sometimes paradoxical relationship between our thoughts and what we actually know. Provocative and groundbreaking, On Being Certain, will challenge what you know (or think you know) about the mind, knowledge, and reason.
Fire From the Midst of You: A Religious Life of John Brown - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: John Brown is usually remembered as a terrorist whose unbridled hatred of slavery drove him to the ill-fated raid on Harper's Ferry, Virginia, in 1859. Tried and executed for seizing the arsenal and attempting to spur a liberation movement among the slaves, Brown was the ultimate cause celebre for a country on the brink of civil war.“Fire from the Midst of You” situates Brown within the religious and social context of a nation steeped in racism, showing his roots in Puritan abolitionism. DeCaro explores Brown's unusual family heritage as well as his business and personal losses, retracing his path to the Southern gallows. In contrast to the popular image of Brown as a violent fanatic, DeCaro contextualizes Brown's actions, emphasizing the intensely religious nature of the antebellum U.S. in which he lived. He articulates the nature of Brown's radical faith and shows that, when viewed in the context of his times, he was not the religious fanatic that many have understood him to be. DeCaro calls Brown a “Protestant saint”—an imperfect believer seeking to realize his own perceived calling in divine providence.In line with the post-millennial theology of his day, Brown understood God as working through mankind and the church to renew and revive sinful humanity. He read the Bible not only as God's word, but as God's word to John Brown. DeCaro traces Brown's life and development to show how by forging faith as a radical weapon, Brown forced the entire nation to a point of crisis. “Fire from the Midst of You” defies the standard narrative with a new reading of John Brown. Here is the man that the preeminent Black scholar W.E.B. Du Bois called a "mighty warning" and the one Malcolm X called “a real white liberal.”آیا کتاب مورد نظر هنوز بر روی سایت قرار نگرفته است؟ جای نگرانی نیست! کافی است بر روی گزینه سفارش کتاب کلیک کرده و درخواست خود را ثبت کنید. در کمتر از چند ساعت کتاب شما را آماده خواهیم کرد.
