From Amazons description:

With the words, “Do not try to change people; they are only messengers telling you who you are. Revalue yourself and they will confirm the change,” Goddard invites us to resist the temptation toward judgment and to look at ourselves for the change we want to see in the world an in others. “God’s promise is unconditional; God’s law is conditional, and comes in its own good time. If you do not experience it in this life,” he said, “You pass through a door, that’s all that death is, and you are restored to life instantly in a world like this, and you go on there with the same problems you had here with no loss of identity.”

This advanced yet practical guide details the next phase of manifestation for seekers who are already highly empowered.

Bentinho Massaro clearly guides you through the mental challenges that appear just before a desire is about to manifest. Learn to maintain your desired frequency and effortlessly attract the experiences you seek. Super Accelerated Living helps you live these concepts, not just understand them.

This book presents the concept of the paradigm as a means of solving a problem. It explores the lifetime curve of a paradigm, how new paradigms come into play, and how to look for and benefit from new ideas that become the new paradigms. This can make the difference between a business that thrives, or one that becomes obsolete. For example, when was the last time you listened to an LP record? Many young people are not even aware of what an LP is. The recording industry has had two such disruptive shifts in paradigm in the last 40 years – from LP to CD, and then to fully electronic MP3.  There are countless other examples.

The word Paradigm is used differently in the Bob Proctor context, where it is taken to mean a collection of habits that control our behavior.  The habits may be ways of doing something, an idea, or simply a habit of thought.  For example, I may have a habit of thought that “I am a bad person”  or “I am unloveable.”  Habitual thoughts that are… less than supportive… can sabotage my ability to thrive and achieve the things I want.  Changing such habits can be life-changing!

This book is a little off-topic, but hey!  Ann is the author!

From Amazons description:

What’s being widely regarded as “one of the most life changing books ever written” may be the simplest approach to achieving everything you’ve ever wanted, and faster than you ever thought possible’

Recommended by Brian Mininger of Bear Creek Outdoor Living: “We build cool stuff, but more importantly we build people.” Decks, Porches, Sunrooms & Backyard Structures built by craftsmen in the Shenandoah valley.

Brian says: “This book radically transformed our small business finance.”

From the Amazon description:

Conventional accounting uses the logical (albeit, flawed) formula: Sales – Expenses = Profit. The problem is, businesses are run by humans, and humans aren’t always logical. Serial entrepreneur Mike Michalowicz has developed a behavioral approach to accounting to flip the formula: Sales – Profit = Expenses. Just as the most effective weight loss strategy is to limit portions by using smaller plates, Michalowicz shows that by taking profit first and apportioning only what remains for expenses, entrepreneurs will transform their businesses from cash-eating monsters to profitable cash cows. Using Michalowicz’s Profit First system, readers will learn that:

· Following 4 simple principles can simplify accounting and make it easier to manage a profitable business by looking at bank account balances.
· A small, profitable business can be worth much more than a large business surviving on its top line.
· Businesses that attain early and sustained profitability have a better shot at achieving long-term growth.

With dozens of case studies, practical, step-by-step advice, and his signature sense of humor, Michalowicz has the game-changing roadmap for any entrepreneur to make money they always dreamed of.
