    Entrepreneurs! Give yourself the tools to develop the mental resilience needed to succeed in the pressure cooker that is starting your own business.While Erik Z. Severinghaus has been to the top of the physical world (literally climbing Everest) and the business world (exiting companies for hundreds of millions of dollars), what has defined his journey is not the successes . . . but rather, the hard times of loneliness and self-doubt that nearly cost him his accomplishments and his life. Every entrepreneur experiences these same crippling challenges but no one talks about them, and consequently, entrepreneurs have three times the rate of addiction and twice the rate of suicide of the general population.This guidebook passes along the lessons needed in those dark times, with the hope that it will help every entrepreneur who is going through this struggle understand their journey and build the mental resiliency to succeed.

    Mary Regina's Nursing Home

    Mary Regina’s nursing home is a substantive ten-hour journalistic novel hybrid with content assembled over five years of research by a retired former journalist and certified internal auditor, William J. Beerman, Sr. The factual information assembled during the research is wrapped in a human interest story about William’s Catholic German-American family during the post-WWII years in Pittsburgh, PA and his mother’s thirteen-year divorce war with his father, a steelworker. The book includes 2018 reporting on state attorney general investigations and lawsuits encompassing sixty-five nursing homes and more than one million patient-days of nursing home care. 
    The book is named after William’s mother, Mary Regina, who died after a short stay in a nursing home. 
    After Mary Regina’s death, William filed suit over the mistreatment his mother had suffered, and he began looking into how the government oversees nursing homes. What he found out was alarming. 
    This book presents in an easy-to-read, memoir-like framework, a three-part narrative: (1) the human-interest background story of Mary Regina and William, (2) details of Mary Regina’s hospital and nursing home experiences, and (3) what William found out about government oversight of nursing homes. 
    William’s well documented complaints about the nursing home to the state department of health (DOH) were not handled satisfactorily. As a former auditor, he knew the methodology that the DOH used to investigate the complaints was doomed to fail.  
    After researching his mother’s case, William realized that hundreds of thousands of others had filed complaints about nursing homes. He decided to broaden out his research from his mother’s case study. He looked into how the state and federal oversight systems work.  
    The author wants to share what he found out with nursing home consumers. 
    This book gives a voice to thousands of families and patients who have experienced neglect and abuse while in a nursing home.

    Aren’t you tired of living paycheck to paycheck? Tired of deciding which bills to pay when in order to save yourself an overdraft? You aren’t alone, not by a long shot. 
    Financial freedom sounds like a pipe dream to most of the world’s current population. Not because it’s as unattainable as it’s made to sound, but because of how much more saturated the markets are and how much less equipped we are to break into them as a whole. Many people think that in order to make money you have to focus all of your time on it and be able to fully devote yourself to doing so. Isn’t this what we are taught in school and from the media? 
    The truth of the matter is that that just isn’t the case. You don’t need to come up with an entirely new business idea and start it from the ground up in order to manage yourself financially. You don’t need to spend a ton of money on ‘deposits’ or books with step by step programs. Everything you need is at the click of your fingertips, just waiting for you to discover. 
    Am I going to have to buy a step-by-step program? No! Absolutely not. 
    This book is going to teach you how to make and manage your own money in a way that continuously builds, not ask you to buy into some get rich quick scheme that ends up only driving you further into debt in the long run. 
    We’re going to cover how to start up a passive income, how to get ahead monetarily, saving, investing, building your portfolio, and most importantly, how to keep your progress continuous! Anyone can save a hundred dollars and keep it in the bank, but we’re talking about continuously adding to those numbers. This book isn’t about fast money, it’s about sustainable money- and the easily incorporated practices in which you can finally master your own money instead of allowing it to master you.
