Success is in the blood. There are men and women whom fate can never keep down they march forward in a jaunty manner, and take by divine right the best of everything that the earth affords them. But their success is not attained by means of share chance. They do not lie in wait, nor scheme, nor fawn, nor seek to adapt their sails to catch the breeze of popular favour. Instead, they are ever alert and alive to any good that may come their way, and when it comes they simply appropriate it, and tarrying not, move steadily onwards. For years my wife and I have been involved in helping people from a variety of backgrounds along their individual spiritual paths, our hearts have always throbbed with a passion to see people become the best them they can be.

We all want a better life and we all go in the pursuit of it in whatever capacity we can. What if you were given the opportunity to have the access to knowledge that you knew would change your life forever? Would you do whatever it took for you to get your hands on that knowledge? Sadly the answer to that question for some will be no. And that is ok there is nothing wrong with that. The beautiful thing about life is that we all have our free will to choose whatever direction we want to take for our lives. I'm not here telling you that the pages in this book is a must for you and you have to do whatever I say in it, but I would like to offer you some thoughts of mine and some things that have helped me along the way on my journey these 13 years of becoming a business woman and building what I would class as successful businesses in their own rights.

Thriving businesses hire advertising companies to advertise for them, it's probably better than getting your employees physically out on the street advertising your products and services for you, as that will be a difficult one to pull off on your job description when hiring staff. Advertising in of itself is a business, and you might think that this kind of business is great for making money and you are right, it does make a lot of money. Businesses pay big money to advertise their product. Affiliate marketing can be such a great business, especially for people who are considering starting an online business from home or individuals who don't know really where to start on the huge and growing online world.

A powerful, timely exploration of the art of living and dying on our own terms by one of Australia’s most respected voices Of all the experiences we share, two universal events bookend our lives: we were all born and we will all die. We don't have a choice in how we enter the world but we can have a say in how we leave it. In order to die well, we must be prepared to contemplate our mortality and to broach it with our loved ones, who are often called upon to make important decisions on our behalf. These are some of the most important conversations we can have with each other - to find peace, kindness and gratitude for what has gone before, and acceptance of what is to come. Dr Ranjana Srivastava draws on two decades of experience to share her observations and advice on leading a meaningful life and finding dignity and composure at the end. With an emphasis on advocacy, leaving a legacy and staying true to our deepest convictions, Srivastava tells stories of strength, hope and resilience in the face of grief and offers an optimistic meditation on approaching the end of life. Intelligent, warm and deeply affecting, A Better Death is a passionate exploration of the art of living and dying well. Dr Ranjana Srivastava OAM is a practising oncologist, award-winning writer, broadcaster and Fulbright scholar. See www.ranjanasrivastava.com

"I have a theory about the Hero's Journey. We all have one. We have many, in fact. But our primary hero's journey is the passage we live out, in real life, before we find our calling. The hero's journey ends when, like Odysseus, we return home to Ithaca, to the place from which we started. What then? The passage that comes next is The Artist's Journey. On our artist's journey, we move past Resistance and past self-sabotage. We discover our true selves and our authentic calling, and we produce the works we were born to create. You are an artist too-whether you realize it or not, whether you like it or not-and you have an artist's journey. Will you live it out? Will you follow your Muse and do the work you were born to do? Ready or not, you are called."--Back cover.

A lot of professors give talks titled 'The Last Lecture'. Professors are asked to consider their demise and to ruminate on what matters most to them: What wisdom would we impart to the world if we knew it was our last chance? If we had to vanish tomorrow, what would we want as our legacy? When Randy Pausch, a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon, was asked to give such a lecture, he didn't have to imagine it as his last, since he had recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer. But the lecture he gave, 'Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams', wasnt about dying. It was about the importance of overcoming obstacles, of enabling the dreams of others, of seizing every moment (because time is all you have and you may find one day that you have less than you think). It was a summation of everything Randy had come to believe. It was about living. In this book, Randy Pausch has combined the humour, inspiration, and intelligence that made his lecture such a phenomenon and given it an indelible form. It is a book that will be shared for generations to come.

John C. Maxwell, #1 New York Times bestselling author, helps readers take the first steps to living a life that matters inIntentional Living. We all have a longing to be significant. We want to make a contribution, to be a part of something noble and purposeful. But many people wrongly believe significance is unattainable. They worry that it's too big for them to achieve. That they have to have an amazing idea, be a certain age, have a lot of money, or be powerful or famous to make a real difference. The good news is that none of those things is necessary for you to achieve significance and create a lasting legacy. The only thing you need to achieve significance is to be intentional. And to do that, all you need to do is start. You can't make an impact sitting still and doing nothing. Every major accomplishment that's ever been achieved started with a first step. Sometimes it's hard; other times it's easy, but no matter what, you have to do it if you want to get anywhere in life. In Intentional Living, John Maxwell will help you take that first step, and the ones that follow, on your personal path through a life that matters.
