Paperback. Condition: Good. Do you ever want more out of life, yet struggle with time and financial constraints? This was the recurring life question I often thought about before I started my vacation rental business over a decade ago. Growing up in different resort communities and working in a family owned property management business, I became very familiar with the housing market and tourist trends. As an emerging entrepreneur, I was seeking different ways to invest my time, knowledge and skills in a career that was somewhat untraditional, flexible, and financially sustainable. At the same time, I was interested in becoming a homeowner within my local resort town, but did not want to feel constrained by the commitment to live there for years to come. This was the point of conflict that opened my eyes to the window of opportunity before me -the epiphany of starting a vacation rental business. In this moment, I knew this was investment that would afford me with time and income to pursue new learning opportunities and passions. Ten years later, the passive income generated from the vacation rental industry, led to a pathway of freedom - the freedom to organize my time and resources to simultaneously manage a successful business from any virtual location. My intention in writing this book is to share this message of freedom by illustrating practical and effective ways to start your own vacation rental business. As you read, you will encounter a variety of ideas to guide your success such as: - Innovative approaches to purchasing your home - Creating a home environment that attracts a diverse range of individual preferences - Advertising to your target market - Automatizing your vacation rental business - Maximizing your rental revenue Jake Miller has over a decade of experience in the vacation rental industry. Owning multiple vacation homes that are each financially profitable, he has the freedom to pay for college, expand his business, travel, and give back to his communities through charitable foundations.…

Hardback. Condition: Good. As you know 'blood clot' means blood cells coming together to form a strong clot that forms and sticks together to keep the wound sealed enabling it to repair. The Parachute Regiment's 'blood clot' acts the same, whether downtown scrapping or in some far away country fighting alongside each other. Our maroon berets come together, they stick together, they close ranks forming the blood clot and fight against anything that comes their way. (Jake Scott) When the 3 Para battle group departed for Helmand Province, south Afghanistan, nobody really knew what to expect. Within a month of being on the ground the first of many contacts between the Taliban and British forces began. The British government and media were in shock - for the men on the ground it was what they were trained for. As weeks went on the fighting increased. Resources and manning were poor but for the Paras it was too late - it was back to basics, living in holes in the ground in 60 degree temperatures, often in small numbers and under constant attack from the Taliban. It looked as if it was going to be a long six months. 'Blood Clot' is a personal account of the Parachute Regiment's ferocious tour of duty in Helmand Province, Afghanistan 2006 by a man who was involved in the thick of the action. Born in 1981, Jake Scott joined the Parachute Regiment aged 17, and had already seen service around the world - including Iraq - before becoming part of a small reconnaissance team trained to operate behind enemy lines, known as 'the Patrols'. Jake and his mates probed, escorted and fought their way in and around some of the most dangerous areas in the whole of the Middle East - virgin Taliban country. After intense fighting against the odds, leaving dead Taliban soldiers in their wake and encountering some very near misses themselves, the Patrols platoon eventually ended their tour of duty. This is their story - the very beginning of the Afghan troubles in the south, the build up and lack of support and equipment in the initial stages, the close and dangerous fighting, the boredom of the open desert and the uncontrollable sadness of friends killed and injured around them. The Paras and their battle group arrived in small numbers in Helmand in 2006. They set the example for others to follow for many years to come - the aggressiveness of the airborne soldier when it was called for, fighting the Taliban on their turf, up close and personal.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. A young shepherd boy walked onto the plain, armed only with a sling and five stones, to face an undefeated giant; one warrior picked up a donkey's jawbone to defeat 1,000; a general led 300 men against an army of 135,000. Although each person was seemingly outnumbered and overmatched, all marched forward with a swagger and staggering confidence. The swagger and staggering confidence, in their God who sent them, baffled the onlookers and odds-makers. With unflinching obedience, these, who appeared to be underdogs, walked away--each with a dominant and definite victory. These men appeared invincible. And they were invincible--not because of their own strength or ability, but because they belonged to and followed an Invincible God. The same God you and I belong to and follow. Therefore, like them and because of Him, we're invincible, too. Invincible is a 40-Day devotional designed to increase your faith utilizing Biblical accounts of God giving His people victories, provision, and protection. Jake McCandless sounded the alarm of the many leaving the faith and the prophetic warning of it, in his award-winning book Spiritual Prepper: Tapping into Overlooked Prophecies to Prepare You for Doomsday. He shared how that Matthew 24:10 and other passages tell that many will turn away. It's happening all around us. McCandless didn't stop with just providing a warning but working with Rita Halter Thomas, they've created a powerful tool to build up one's faith so they can be prepared when challenges come into their life. This book will help you Stand Firm.…
