You’ll read about Basia (p91), a mother of four who made a million- dollar profit out of a single deal in Perth – even though economists were telling her that Perth was a ‘disaster market’. You’ll also read about Natasha (p113), and Sanjeev and Illa (p153), who leveraged cheaper deals in regional areas – places that ‘smart’ investors wouldn’t touch. This strategic focus on entry-level properties has allowed these people to get their portfolios cranking and create full- time careers for themselves and their families. You’re also going to read about Dan and Leanne (p45), who created a $92,000 per annum turnaround in their cashflow position, and Peter and Kerrie (p59), who went from losing $100,000 a year, to making $100,000 a year – all while 60 Minutes was scaring the pants off young investors. So, yes, there still isn’t a lot of sparkle in the headline numbers. But with every challenge there is opportunity, and the amazing success stories you’re going to read about in this publication are proof of what you can achieve if you have the passion, education and correct mindset. Oh, and while you read these success stories, I want you to pay attention to one more thing: that financial transformation often goes hand-in-hand with profound personal transformation.

  • Green Illusions Is Not a Litany of Despair
    “In this terrific book, Ozzie Zehner explains why most current approaches to the world’s gathering climate and energy crises are not only misguided but actually counterproductive. We fool ourselves in innumerable ways, and Zehner is especially good at untangling sloppy thinking. Yet Green Illusions is not a litany of despair. It’s full of hope—which is different from false hope, and which requires readers with open, skeptical minds.”— David Owen, author of Green Metropolis “Think the answer to global warming lies in solar panels, wind turbines, and biofuels? Think again. In this thought-provoking and deeply researched critique of popular ‘green’ solutions, Zehner makes a convincing case that such alternatives won’t solve our energy problems; in fact, they could make matters even worse.”—Susan Freinkel, author of Plastic: A Toxic Love Story “There is no obvious competing or comparable book. Green Illusions has the same potential to sound a wake-up call in the energy arena as was observed with Silent Spring in the environment, and Fast Food Nation in the food system.”—Charles Francis, former director of the Center for Sustainable Agriculture Systems at the University of Nebraska “This is one of those books that you read with a yellow marker and end up highlighting most of it.”—David Ochsner, University of Texas at Austin Green Illusions Our Sustainable Future Series Editors Charles A. Francis University of Nebraska–Lincoln Cornelia Flora Iowa State University Paul A. Olson University of Nebraska–Lincoln The Dirty Secrets of Clean Energy and the Future of Environmentalism Ozzie Zehner University of Nebraska Press Lincoln and London Both text and cover are printed on acid-free paper that is 100% ancient forest free (100% post-consumer recycled).

  • UNIVERSITY of CALIFORNIA Los Angeles the Ethical
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles The Ethical Consumer: Narratives of Social and Environmental Change in Contemporary American Literature A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in English by Amanda Evelyn Waldo 2015 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION The Ethical Consumer: Narratives of Social and Environmental Change in Contemporary American Literature By Amanda Evelyn Waldo Doctor of Philosophy in English University of California, Los Angeles Professor Allison B. Carruth, Chair ABSTRACT: Consumers in the U.S. have increasingly (and often paradoxically) turned to their consumption as a space from which to address social and environmental problems that range from sweatshop labor to global warming; the diverse consumption strategies that they have embraced –boycotts, local and organic food, fair trade, downshifting and more – are all a part of a larger movement and discourse called ethical consumption. A flood of recent novels, memoirs and nonfiction books make this activist, productive, expressive kind of consumption their central theme (and in the case of several of the memoirs, their organizing conceit). The authors of these works have suggested interesting expansions of the ethical role not just of commodity consumption but of media consumption as well: the imaginative literature of ethical consumption models ethical consumption for its readers, and it sees itself shaping attitudes about consumption that will in turn shape economic, social and environmental realities in the world. The ii ambition of that project (and the enthusiasm with which readers have taken it up) lends a sense of urgency to my own. My dissertation looks at representations of ethical consumption in this growing body of imaginative literature in order to understand how and on what terms it intervenes in consumption.

  • How Smart Companies Unleash Value from Their Work Spaces Business + Institutional Furniture Manufacturers Association
    Design Leveraged A special report: How smart companies unleash value from their work spaces business + institutional furniture manufacturers association 678 Front Ave. NW, Suite 150 Grand Rapids, MI 49504-5368 616 285 3963 222 Merchandise Mart, Suite 567 Chicago, IL 60654 Toll Free: 888 799 4432 International: +01 312 467 1950 The smartest players in Corporate America are parlaying their work spaces into a competitive advantage. Here’s how. Design, Leveraged For decades, businesses have viewed their work spaces as “overhead,” a necessary evil of spending on desks, carpet and pricy lighting. But now, smart companies are shifting their thinking on design: The firms doing the hard work to get it right are reaping the benefits right down to their bot- tom lines. Rest assured, we aren’t just talking about the eye-popping Google and Facebook offices, those kingdoms of uber-chic chaos and (dare we say) indulgence. Their designs work great — for them. But most of Corporate America doesn’t fill its seats with 20-something engineers eager to pull all-night hackathons. Why is design critical for the rest of us? Consider these three factors: Real estate costs are rising roughly 10 percent a year, a scorching war for talent is underway (and expected to worsen) and the demand for inno- vation amid global competition is acute. The workplace is where it all comes crashing together. Yet, only one in four U.S. workers say that they have optimal workplace environments, according to a 2013 survey by San Francisco-based architectural firm Gensler. So for this report, we set out to learn how business productivity and design best align.

  • Yertle the Turtle
    ILLUSTRATIONS FOR TEACHERS, PREACHERS, AND OTHER LEADERS www.davidjonespub.com Action over discussion: Action takes decision and movement. Scholars study much and decide little. "Scholars don’t make good managers," says one management theorist. "They are trained not to decide." There is a story told about the physicist Max Planck. When he died and went to heaven St. Peter met him at the gate saying, "Professor Planck, this door leads to the Kingdom of Heaven, but this door leads to a discussion about the Kingdom of Heaven." You know which one the scholar chose. The word decision comes from the Latin meaning "to cut off, to sever." Better to discuss things, defer judgment, refer the matter to a committee for further consideration, than to make a decision. Why go on record as believing that the earth is round when someone may discover next year that it’s really flat? Wait. Observe. Be patient. There’s still time Action: decisions alone mean little Three frogs were sitting on a log. Two decided to jump. How many frogs are left? Three. Deciding to jump means nothing. Action: do more talk and think less To help people find enlightenment, Buddha spent little time teaching people how to think. He showed little concern over what people thought. Instead, his teachings were programs for action. Jesus was similar. In the gospels, the word do shows up 487 times but the word believe is used only 88. Buddha and Jesus both emphasized action. Action: excuses A neighbor, famous for making excuses, knocked on Sophia’s door and asked to borrow a rope.
