Greg Donaldson

How is your book helping others?

Part memoir, part practical investing strategy, The Hidden Power of Rising Dividends helps readers understand how to safely and responsibly invest for retirement by embracing an often-overlooked method. But beyond the empirical tale of a time-tested strategy, the book inspires readers to take calculated risks and trust in their own abilities—whether these be in the professional or personal arena. Donaldson’s entrepreneurial spirit, and his story of challenge and triumph offer readers a lens through which to establish their own goals and aspirations. Through real-world examples, Donaldson helps readers by showing them that even conservative investing involves risks, but with perseverance and the right approach, one can overcome any obstacle.

Highway To Your Happy Place A Roadmap To Less Stress

Author:

Gary Sprouse, M.D.

How is your book helping others?

A primary care physician with 30-plus years of experience, Dr. Sprouse has seen few if any patients who were not exhibiting stress. And in that time of his practice, he chose to focus mightily on how he could best help his patients – some at understandably “stressful” moments – live with less if not at least at times no stress. After practicing stress reduction himself – successfully – and sharing his “roadmap” with others, he finally chose to put it all down in this book so that a much wider audience can experience what Dr. Sprouse has of living in “that happy place.” Dr. Sprouse’s strategies are innovative; and, as back-cover testimonials show, they do work. Including, in one, someone who thanks Dr. Sprouse’s guidance on stress reduction for helping him find a reason to live. From all the “challenges” we face - often in the work we do – from worry and guilt to regrets, boredom and feeling overwhelmed – this book shows you how to change. And to change now.

Sell Your Business: At The Right Time, For The Right Price, And To The Right Buyer

Author:

Jane Johnson

How is your book helping others?

It may surprise you that Jane Johnson is one of the only consultants in the country that works with owners to sell their businesses – from the germ of the idea through the actual sale. Truth be told, there are brokers out there who are too often focused on their commission; and there are wealth managers who may prefer to sell you a product. But soup to nuts with your best interests in mind? That’s Jane Johnson as so many owners know. She finally put it all down in this important book – including the three elements that owners let slip by - selling at the right time, for the right price and to right buyer. Yes, Johnson explains how to do this and why all three are crucial. Brokers turn down 70% of those who approach them to sell and of the remaining 30%, only half actually do.
It can be done – and done well. Read this book to find out how.
