    • Trump The Best Real Estate Advice I Ever Received

      $17.99

      Donald Trump has gathered in one book the best advice on real estate from the brightest and most experienced people…

      “Don’t try to take the last penny off the table; make sure that the people who buy from you also make money. If not, they won’t buy from you again.” -Michael Shvo, Founder of the Shvo Group and “the most successful young real estate broker in New York”

      “Mom said, ‘If you don’t have big breasts, put ribbons in your pigtails.’ Good salesmanship is nothing more than maximizing the positive and minimizing the negative. Although your competition might offer something you can’t match, that doesn’t matter. What matters is that you identify and play up what you’ve got.” -Barbara Corcoran, Founder of the Corcoran Group, New York City’s leading real estate company

      “Real estate can be so much fun you almost feel guilty earning money at it!” -Monda Bassil, President of Prestigious Properties of New York

      “When you sell real estate, pay tax only if you want, when you want, and in the amount you decide.” -Gary Gorman, Founder of 1031 Exchange Experts, LLC, and author of Exchanging UP!

      “Whether it is a real estate deal or any other venture, the key is to find something you enjoy doing, and then do it better than anyone else-because success comes easier to people who follow their passion.” -Donald Trump, J r., Executive Vice President of Development and Acquisitions for The Trump Organization

    • Small Business Guide To Government Contracts

      $27.99

      Each year, the federal government awards billions of dollars in small-business contracts. It’s both the lifeblood of hundreds of thousands of companies and a quagmire of red tape. One misstep can result in hefty fines, cancelled contracts-even jail time. The Small-Business Guide to Government Contracts puts a wealth of specialized legal counsel at readers’ fingertips. It’s the one book that looks beyond winning a piece of the $500 billion pie and concentrates on the crucial but complex Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and other rules required for keeping the contract alive and avoiding penalties. Clear answers to the most important compliance questions are inside, including: * Is a small business really small? * Who is eligible for the HUBZone, 8(a), SDVO or WOSB programs? * What salaries and benefits must be offered? * What ethical requirements must be followed? * When does affiliation become a liability? No one can afford to be lax with the rules or too harried to heed them. This book helps contractors meet their compliance obligations-and keep the pipeline flowing.

Packed with proven, repeatable management practices, the book shows how to establish a clean brand architecture while avoiding the needless complexity that has tripped up many promising companies.

    • Cambios Necesarios – (Spanish)

      $15.99

      In Necessary Endings, Dr. Cloud demonstrates that, when done well, ‘necessary endings’ allow us to stop pain, foster growth, reach personal and business goals, and live better lives. When done poorly though, good opportunities are lost, and misery either remains or is repeated. While we all face these kinds of endings daily, Dr. Cloud finds that most of us fall in the latter category and don’t handle endings very well—and we need help. In this new book, Dr. Cloud draws on years of experience as an executive coach and therapist and offers a mixture of advice and anecdotes—all delivered in Cloud’s characteristically warm and empathic voice—that will do several things to address this need:
      *Bring awareness to the necessity of endings in life, similar to what Cloud did with his extremely popular Boundaries series.
      *Normalize the concept so that you can see it as a regular part of life.
      *Help you see the need for endings in all facets of life, both personal and professional. *Show you why you have not been able to negotiate endings well.
      *Show you how to do it and make it go well.
      *Cast a vision for a better future, one where the pain of being stuck has ended, and there is space for good things.
      *Help you understand the process of endings so that you can metabolize the lessons and experience and thereby not repeat them

      Knowing when and how to let go when something isn’t working—whether it’s a career choice, business venture, or personal relationship—is essential for happiness and success. In Necessary Endings, Dr. Cloud gives you the tools you need to begin pruning the bad and the broken from your life so the good may begin growing again.

      $21.95

      There are a lot of frustrated people in most workplaces today. We’re not talking about the incorrigible office grump or the permanent slacker. Instead, we’re referring to dedicated workers who are being prevented from achieving their peak potential by organizational obstacles. Better enabling these employees to succeed represents an untapped avenue for radically improving productivity. Packed with the latest research findings from the prestigious Hay Group, The Enemy of Engagement uncovers the hidden impediments to performance-excessive procedures, lack of resources, overly narrow roles, and more-and outlines best-practice solutions for eliminating them. This is not an insignificant issue facing businesses today. According to Hay Group’s study, depending on the industry, between one-third and one-half of employees report work conditions that keep them from being as productive as they could be.

    • Great By Choice

      $29.99

      The new question
      Ten years after the worldwide bestseller Good to Great, Jim Collins returns with another groundbreaking work, this time to ask: Why do some companies thrive in uncertainty, even chaos, and others do not? Based on nine years of research, buttressed by rigorous analysis and infused with engaging stories, Collins and his colleague, Morten Hansen, enumerate the principles for building a truly great enterprise in unpredictable, tumultuous, and fast-moving times.

      The new study
      Great by Choice distinguishes itself from Collins’s prior work by its focus not just on performance, but also on the type of unstable environments faced by leaders today.

      With a team of more than twenty researchers, Collins and Hansen studied companies that rose to greatness-beating their industry indexes by a minimum of ten times over fifteen years-in environments characterized by big forces and rapid shifts that leaders could not predict or control. The research team then contrasted these “10X companies” to a carefully selected set of comparison companies that failed to achieve greatness in similarly extreme environments.

      The new findings
      The study results were full of provocative surprises. Such as:

      The best leaders were not more risk taking, more visionary, and more creative than the comparisons; they were more disciplined, more empirical, and more paranoid.
      Innovation by itself turns out not to be the trump card in a chaotic and uncertain world; more important is the ability to scale innovation, to blend creativity with discipline.
      Following the belief that leading in a “fast world” always requires “fast decisions” and “fast action” is a good way to get killed.
      The great companies changed less in reaction to a radically changing world than the comparison companies.
      The authors challenge conventional wisdom with thought-provoking, sticky, and supremely practical concepts. They include: 10Xers; the 20 Mile March; Fire Bullets, Then Cannonballs; Leading above the Death Line; Zoom Out, Then Zoom In; and the SMaC Recipe.

      Finally, in the last chapter, Collins and Hansen present their most provocative and original analysis: defining, quantifying, and studying the role of luck. The great companies and the leaders who built them were not luckier than the comparisons, but they did get a higher Return on Luck.

      This book is classic Collins: contrarian, data-driven, and uplifting. He and Hansen show convincingly that, even in a chaotic and uncer

      New York Times best-selling author John C. Maxwell shows that talent is just the starting point for a successful impact in any organization. It’s what takes you beyond your talent that matters. People everywhere are proving him right.

Among other truths, successful people know that: Belief lifts your talent. Initiative activates your talent. Focus directs your talent. Preparation positions your talent. Practice sharpens your talent. Perseverance sustains your talent. Character protects your talent. . . . and more! It’s what you add to your talent that makes the greatest difference. With authentic examples and time-tested wisdom, Maxwell shares thirteen attributes you need to maximize your potential and live the life of your dreams.
