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: Very Good. An automotive and tech world insider investigates the quest to develop and perfect the driverless car--an innovation that promises to be the most disruptive change to our way of life since the smartphone We stand on the brink of a technological revolution. Soon, few of us will own our own automobiles and instead will get around in driverless electric vehicles that we summon with the touch of an app. We will be liberated from driving, prevent over 90% of car crashes, provide freedom of mobility to the elderly and disabled, and decrease our dependence on fossil fuels.  Autonomy is the story of the maverick engineers and computer nerds who are creating the revolution. Longtime advisor to the Google Self-Driving Car team and former GM research and development chief Lawrence D. Burns provides the perfectly-timed history of how we arrived at this point, in a character-driven and heavily reported account of the unlikely thinkers who accomplished what billion-dollar automakers never dared. Beginning with the way 9/11 spurred the U.S. government to set a million-dollar prize for a series of off-road robot races in the Mojave Desert up to the early 2016 stampede to develop driverless technology, Autonomy is a page-turner that represents a chronicle of the past, diagnosis of the present, and prediction of the future--the ultimate guide to understanding the driverless car and navigating the revolution it sparks.…

Hardback. Condition: Good. 2020 ECPA Top Shelf Book Cover Award★ Publishers Weekly starred review. Affluence, autonomy, safety, and power. These are the central values of the American dream. But are they compatible with Jesus' command to love our neighbor as ourselves? In essays grouped around these four values, D. L. Mayfield asks us to pay attention to the ways they shape our own choices, and the ways those choices affect our neighbors. Where did these values come from? How have they failed those on the edges of our society? And how can we disentangle ourselves from our culture's headlong pursuit of these values and live faithful lives of service to God and our neighbors.…

Hardback. Condition: Good. Competition, the drive for efficiency, and continuous improvement ultimately push businesses toward automation and later towards autonomy. If a business can operate without human intervention, it will minimize its operational cost. If Uber can remove the expense of a driver with an autonomous vehicle, it will provide its service cheaper than a competitor who can?t. If an artificially intelligent trading company can search, find, and take advantage of some arbitrage opportunity, then it can profit where its competitors cannot. A business that can analyze and execute in real-time without needing to wait for a human to act, is a business that will be able to take advantage of brief inefficiencies from other markets or businesses. This trend following a thesis that is based on 100 years of proven economic theory. Short-wave economic cycles, those 5- to 10-year cycles, are driven by credit but the long-wave economic cycles, those 50- to 60-year cycles, are driven by technological revolution. We?ve had 5 cycles over the past 200 years with the last wave, the Age of Information & Telecommunications. We've seen evidence that a new cycle has begun. Technological revolutions come by way of a cluster of new innovations. About a decade ago, you started to see AI, robotics and IoT (sensors) delivering on automation. That?s been powerful, but not transformational. It does not force businesses to fundamentally change how they do business. The last piece of the puzzle was cryptocurrency because it allows us to process and transfer economic value without human intervention. Soon, there will be a global race to build autonomous operations. Businesses and organizations without autonomous operations simply will not be able to compete with those that do because ? autonomy is the ultimate competitive advantage. Crypto is the mechanism that will accrue value from being the infrastructure for the next digital financial revolution. Crypto Asset Investing lays out a case that we?ve begun a new technological revolution similar to the Internet Age of the 1990?s. Artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, robotics and cryptocurrency are converging to deliver on a new age, what I call the Age of Autonomy. Understanding the transformation that?s taken place before anyone else can yield enormous investment opportunity. In this book, you?ll learn how and why to invest in crypto assets.…
