Icarus - The Life and Death of the Abraaj Group

Brian Brivati

Beschreibung

In 2017, Arif Naqvi and The Abraaj Group were on the brink of changing the world of private equity. Abraaj was a pioneer of impact investing, it had helped transform communities and companies across the world by financing healthcare, education and clean energy projects, and it was about to close a new fund worth $6 billion. But then it all came crashing down.
On 10 April 2019, after landing at London Heathrow, Naqvi was arrested on fraud charges. He is facing extradition to the United States and a prison sentence of up to 291 years if he is found guilty.
The dominant media narrative has painted Naqvi as a thief and fraudster, the key man in an organised criminal conspiracy. But in this explosive book, which is based on extensive research and interviews, Brian Brivati investigates how things are not quite what they seem. Icarus explores how Abraaj found itself caught in the middle of a geopolitical war between the United States and China, and when it would not back down economic hitmen tried to wipe it out.

Writing Good E-Mails

IntroBooks Team

In the present times, the technology has advanced to such great levels that it has made communication a lot easier than before. With technology, passing of information from the informant to the recipient and vice versa takes lesser time and is not even a complicated process as well. The use of technology has also minimized the workload of the human being.
Long ago it was required for both the sender and the recipient to be online at the same time for sending the email just like it is required now in instant messaging. In the present times, the functioning of the e-mail is based on the store-and-forward model. E-mail servers are now capable of accepting, forwarding, delivering and storing messages and so it is no longer necessary for the sender and the recipient to be online simultaneously, and a brief connection to a mail server or webmail interface is enough.
The first e-mail system was introduced in the year 1968 at UMDNJ, Newark, NJ. There were certain technological components of the E-mail that was condemnatory to its invention. On February 16, 2012, when the act of Smithsonian's acceptance took place, all the documents, articles and artifacts related to the invention of the E-mail were disregarded by the industrialists and started to take up personal fights with Dr. Ayyadurai in order to express feelings of indifference to his work and his life.
It is important for the people to learn e-mail writing skills. A good e-mail has increased chances of being attended by the recipient than an improper e-mail.
It is a known thing that every useful thing comes with its own set of advantages and disadvantages. None of the things existing within the world are considered perfect. Similarly, the use of emails for conversing with people comes with its own set of pros and cons.

Mind to Matter - The Ultimate...

Edward B. Lord

Mind to Matter: The Ultimate Guide to Success Visualization, Learn Astonishing Ways to Train Your Mind and Visualize Your Way to Success We all have aspirations and dreams. But when we think of a dream or a goal we want to achieve, most of us oftentimes focus on the possible obstacles that will come our way. We focus on the negative instead of visualizing ourselves as successful. This becomes a problem as it inhibits our minds and stops us from moving forward. It stops us from trying our very best and being all out in achieving our dreams. Don't let this be you. Instead of focusing on all the obstacles you might encounter, you should visualize yourself victorious and successful in the end. You might know someone in your personal life who seems to have everything. This person might have the best job or always attracts the best opportunities. Oftentimes, this might be someone that is not usually the most intelligent or hardworking person you've ever known. The secret is that this person has probably mastered the art of manifestation and attraction and has visualized all of the success in his life. Our mind has the power to create and manifest whatever it is we want out of life. It might be material possessions like a dream car or a dream house, or it might be a perfect partner. Our subconscious mind can produce vibrations that are being sent out to the universe that can produce the outcome we desire. In this audiobook, you will learn: - What is Creative Visualization - How to Visualize - Techniques for Clearing Your Energy - Creative Visualization and Meditation - Mastering the Creative Visualization Process Some people might express skepticism in this practice. However, this has been a common practice of athletes, entertainers, and entrepreneurs who have been using visualizations as a way to achieve their goals.

The Millionaire Fastlane 10th...

MJ DeMarco

Have You Been Sold a 40 Year Financial Lie? 
There's a Fastlane to millions, a shortcut paved by mathematics where you can LIVE RICHLY NOW versus DYING RICH LATER. Instead, an army of financial gurus and self-proclaimed "experts" have brainwashed you into believing a dream-killing dogma I call the "Slowlane." Their suffocating plan involves miserly living, ascetic budgets, and living like a broke co-ed for the rest of your life. 
Drive the Slowlane, and you will discover your life deteriorate into a miserable exhibition about what you cannot do versus what you can. For those who refuse the lifetime subscription to mediocrity, there's an expressway to extraordinary wealth capable of burning a trail to financial freedom faster than any road out there. And shockingly, this road has nothing to do with jobs, 401(k)s, index funds, or a lifestyle of miserly living in a tiny house. 
Here is what you will learn:Why jobs, 401(k)s, indexed funds, and 40-years of mindless frugality will never make you rich young.Why a Fastlane strategy is the best insurance policy again inflation, economic recessions, and pandemic lockdowns.Why most entrepreneurs fail and how to immediately put the odds in your favor.The real law of wealth: Leverage this, and wealth has no choice but to be magnetized to you.The leading cause of poorness: Change this, and you change everything.How the rich really get rich - and no, it has nothing to do with a paycheck or a 401K match.The raw mathematics of wealth is how you and any "Joe or Jane" can quickly tap into real wealth.Why the guru's sacred deities - compound interest and index fund investing are impotent wealth accelerators.Why popular guru platitudes like "do what you love" and "follow your passion" will most likely keep you poor, not rich.And 250+ distinctions... 
Change lanes and hit the Fastlane today.
