Summary of Michael Blank's Financial Freedom with Real Estate Investing
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview: #1 I was fucked. But something happened that made me rethink my life choices. I'm not sure if it was divine intervention, but three weeks after the $10,000-a-month loss, I got a call from a woman who wanted to invest in my business. This would have been a perfect opportunity to rebuild the business's capital base and save the day, but that woman wasn't interested in investing a measly $50,000 into my business. No, she wanted $500,000. I had no idea what to do. The business was already on the brink of failure and now I was being asked for another $500,000. How did I have any money left for a rainy day. I didn't have $500,000. My wife and I had just bought a house, and I had borrowed all the money from her father for this. And he wasn't much of an angel investor-he was an engineer who had made millions investing in the dot-com bubble. He knew how to play the market, but he didn't know basic business fundamentals like cash flow. Why did he think that giving me more money would help me now. #2 I got a call from a woman who wanted to invest in my business. I was asked for $500,000. I had no idea how I was going to pay that back. My wife and I just bought a house, and I borrowed all the money from her father for this. #3 I invested $10,000 in a business that eventually asked for $500,000, then lost almost everything when the recession hit. I eventually sold all of my properties for a loss, but at least I learned a lot about real estate investing. #4 In 2007, I invested $10,000 in a business that eventually asked for $500,000, then lost almost everything when the recession hit. I eventually sold all of my properties for a loss, but at least I learned a lot about real estate investing

Interviewology
A groundbreaking guide to mastering the job interview, offering proven advice and techniques to discover your unique interview style that is key to interviewing better-for those on either side of the table. Conventional interviewing advice doesn't work. That's what Anna Papalia learned through years of experience as an HR professional, consultant for Fortune 500 companies, and teacher at the Fox School of Business. None of the existing tools work for one simple reason: they don't get to the heart of what actually makes a great interview-self-awareness. At its core, an interview is a set of questions about you. If you don't know yourself, you won't do well. Determined to make the process better, more inclusive, and less obscure, Anna spent years researching how people interview and uncovered a new science to interviewing, rooted in the finding that there are four main styles people exhibit in an interview: you can be a Charmer, a Challenger, an Examiner, or a Harmonizer. Your style influences how you view and approach interviews, and ultimately how you perform in them. In "Interviewology", Anna teaches you how to identify your individual style (and that of who you are interviewing with) and offers pragmatic tips for using this knowledge to nail your next interview. Packed with wisdom, "Interviewology" offers clarity and a dynamic, scientifically validated approach that challenges everything you thought you knew about interviewing, providing unique insight into the process, debunking some of the most common myths, and explaining how you can perform better, whether you're applying for the job or looking for the right candidate. Going beyond generic advice that isn't useful in the real world-such as memorizing rote answers or strict guidelines-"Interviewology" is a revolutionary approach that focuses on self-awareness-and how to develop it-to help everyone master their own unique interview style. It's about the power of knowing yourself and how that insight can lead to a more successful career and life

Proving the value of soft skills : measuring impact and calculating ROI
A Step-by-Step Guide to Showing the Value of Soft Skill Programs As organizations rise to meet the challenges of technological innovation, globalization, changing customer needs and perspectives, demographic shifts, and new work arrangements, their mastery of soft skills will likely be the defining difference between thriving and merely surviving. Yet few executives champion the expenditure of resources to develop these critical skills. Why is that and what can be done to change this thinking? For years, managers convinced executives that soft skills could not be measured and that the value of these programs should be taken on faith. Executives no longer buy that argument but demand the same financial impact and accountability from these functions as they do from all other areas of the organization. In Proving the Value of Soft Skills, measurement and evaluation experts Patti Phillips, Jack Phillips, and Rebecca Ray contend that efforts can and should be made to demonstrate the effect of soft skills. They also claim that a proven methodology exists to help practitioners articulate those effects so that stakeholders' hearts and minds are shifted toward securing support for future efforts. This book reveals how to use the ROI Methodology to clearly show the impact and ROI of soft skills programs. The authors guide readers through an easy-to-apply process that includes: - business alignment - design evaluation - data collection - isolation of the program effects - cost capture - ROI calculations - results communication. Use this book to align your programs with organizational strategy, justify or enhance budgets, and build productive business partnerships. Included are job aids, sample plans, and detailed case studies
