    Set in California's lush Napa Valley and spanning four generations of a talented and visionary family, The House of Mondavi is a tale of genius, sibling rivalry, and betrayal. From 1906, when Italian immigrant Cesare Mondavi passed through Ellis Island, to the Robert Mondavi Corporation's twenty-first-century battle over a billion-dollar fortune, award-winning journalist Julia Flynn Siler brings to life both the place and the people in this riveting family drama.The blood feuds are as spectacular as the business triumphs. Cesare's sons, Robert and Peter, literally came to blows in the 1960s during a dispute touched off by the purchase of a mink coat, resulting in Robert's exile from the family-and his subsequent founding of a winery that would set off a revolution in American winemaking. Robert's sons, Michael and Timothy, as passionate in their own ways as their visionary father, waged battle with each other for control of the company before Michael's expansive ambitions ultimately led to a board coup and the sale of the business to an international conglomerate.A meticulously reported narrative based on thousands of hours of interviews, The House of Mondavi is bound to become a classic.

    Are you ready to get started with laying a foundation for your future, using a tried and true passive income avenue? 
Then you’re ready to learn about investing in index funds. 
Unlike more traditional forms of mutual fund investments, which are actively managed by the investor or by the broker, investing in index funds results in passive income: meaning that after the initial investment, you don’t need to put regular time, effort, or expense into your investment. Since you, as the investor, don’t need the help of analysts and managers to give you advice on what to invest in, it cuts down on the expenses necessary to maintain your portfolio. And many experts say that passive investments actually perform better than actively managed, higher-risk investments. Index funds are one way to work along with the market, rather than trying to play against it and win. 
Passive income created through index funds is a great way to build for your future, including creating a higher return for your retirement income. 
Index Funds: Passive Income Idea for Complete Beginners—A Stock Marketing Investment Strategy that Withstood the Test of Time will help you build your future from the ground up. Read this book to learn the following: 
The basic terms and meanings you need to know, including indexing, benchmarks, management expense ratio, and portfoliosThe most popular indexes in use today, and whyHow index funds compare to passively managed fundsPros and cons of an index fund accountWhat passive income can do for your futureSuccess stories brought about by index fundsWhy index funds are recommended for building up your retirement income, andHow to get started with your own portfolio 
Regardless of what stage of life you’re in, it’s never too soon to put your income to work for you via investments. Now is the time to start thinking about your future! 
Let this book be your best guide to a reliable source of passive income.

    What makes goal setting so important? What is the exact science behind goal setting? Is goal setting the best way possible to achieve the goals? 
Goal setting is the most important day to day activity that is being executed in order to achieve the expected results in the long term. Three best methods to set goals are; S-M-A-R-T, The 4C-F, and backward goal planning.  
Goal setting theory explains the science behind the nature of goal setting. Specific, challenging and feedback are the most important elements of achieving a goal. However, there are also some negative or side-effects of goal setting.  
Goal setting process is failed due to a lot of reasons such as not knowing how to set goals, fear of failing, and rejection. Raising above all the stereotypes help in making the goal setting process successful.  
It is important to set goals so there should be no leading towards misdirected path on the way to the desired results. Goals should be time-bound, and the resources available should be considered while setting the difficulty of the goals or it might backfire with disappointing results.  
Communication while executing goals in a group is a very important and noticeable factor in achieving the target or prime objective of the group or company or an organization. Without goal setting, there will be no sense of achievement after completion of a certain task as there will be no base available to compare it with and hence there will be no happiness in doing any task.
