  Unlock the Keys to Manage, Budget, and Save Money!
  
  Money makes the world go round. Or so they say. Money can be a gateway to a great and comfortable life: nice house, luxury cars, expensive education, etc. Money spent wisely can allow you to purchase these things while still living a contented life.
  
  However, in the same way that it can bring great joy and prosperity, it can also bring a great deal of stress. Without proper management, money becomes a curse instead of a boon, leading to stress, depression, and anxiety. In fact, the leading cause of fights in relationships is money and how it is managed.
  
  When not armed with the proper money management techniques, you can easily fall into money troubles. Unexpected expenses such as medical emergencies, veterinarian visits, and unforeseen mechanical or house repairs as well as overspending on frivolous items such as café coffee and fast food can quickly make your paycheck disappear. It can make looking at your bank account a painful and surprising experience.
  
  If this sounds familiar and you want to learn how to save up for big purchases, get yourself out of debt, and learn budgeting tools, then it's time to start handling money like the experts to having more of it.
  By taking the time to learn money saving tips and tricks, you can take control of your spending, create strong budgets, and get back on financial track for a less stressful and more enjoyable life.

  The Blueprint - 6 Practical...

  Becoming an effective leader who lifts your organization to new heights may seem challenging, but it doesn’t need to be complicated. Strong leadership is rooted in basic principles. Although the specific nature of the organizations you may work for throughout your career will vary on a case-by-case basis, the essential steps you must take to lead with skill will remain constant. 
  The Blueprint explains what those steps are. More importantly, it demonstrates how we can take them in our own careers and lives. 
  Author Douglas Conant is particularly well-qualified to teach these lessons. He’s served in leadership roles at such major companies as the Nabisco Foods Company, Campbell Soup Company, and Avon Products. As founder of ConantLeadership, he helps other experts share their own leadership insights. However, Conant wasn’t always this successful. In 1984, before achieving such heights, he lost his job without warning and almost no explanation. 
  However, Conant did not allow this experience to discourage him for very long. Instead, he turned it into an opportunity. He used this period in his life to seriously examine what factors had prevented him from achieving his dreams and fully realizing his personal vision for himself. By studying the craft of leadership and reflecting on his own achievements, Conant revolutionized his approach to leading organizations. The result was a dramatic shift in his career that propelled him to greater success, joy, and overall fulfillment than he had ever experienced before.
   
  With The Blueprint, Conant has condensed his lifetime of leadership experience and study into six content-rich steps anyone can immediately apply to transform their leadership journey. 
  1. Reach high - envision 
  2. Dig deep - reflect 
  3. Lay the groundwork - study 
  4. Design - plan 
  5. Build - practice 
  6. Reinforce - improve 
  Along with serving as a leadership manifesto, The Blueprint is also a practical manual. Conant provides exercises and practices readers can use to leverage these six essential steps in virtually any situation. This process enables every leader to build their own personal leadership foundation; this is what empowers them to make a powerful immediate impact—and to create lasting positive change—in organizations and the world. 
  Conant’s story serves as a reminder that all leaders face challenges at times. It also reminds us that it’s possible to overcome those challenges and dramatically change our careers and our lives.

  It turns out that most negotiations are over even before they begin. The Marriage and Family Therapist that has spent the most time planning for the negotiation, doing their homework, and collecting the data that they'll need is the one that's going to walk away from the table with the best deal and a sense of winning. Wouldn't you want that person to be you?
  
  What You'll Find Inside:
  THE 7 DEADLY SINS OF PREPARING TO NEGOTIATE
  DEALS THAT MAKE MONEY: HOW TO PLAN YOUR CONCESSIONS
  CLOSE MORE DEALS: UNDERSTANDING BUYER POWER & WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT
  SINGLE VS TEAM NEGOTIATION: WHICH IS BETTER?
  
  Planning is what happens before a Therapist sits down at the negotiating table. There are no negotiating tactics or tricks at play here. It's just a matter of you doing your homework.  At the same time you hope that the other side is NOT doing their homework so that you'll show up at the negotiation more prepared then they are.
  
  Just committing to doing the planning that your next negotiation is going to require is not enough, you also have to know just exactly how to go about doing it – you have to think about the offers and counter offers that are going to be made. That's what this book is going to teach you. Every negotiation is different and so the planning that you'll have to do for each negotiation will be different also.
  
  The planning that is required for a successful negotiation takes on many different forms. These can include planning where and when the negotiations will be held, what concessions you'll be willing to make to the other side, and understanding who has what power in the negotiations. 
  
  The end result of doing the planning that a negotiation requires is that when you sit down at the negotiating table, you'll have a sense of being prepared. You'll know what you need to know about the other side of the table, what their goals are, what their constraints are, and what they hope to be able to get out of the negotiations. This is exactly the type of knowledge that every person who lives in the world of Marriage and Family therapy is going to need in order to be able to reach the type of deal that will allow you to walk away from the table with a sense of having closed a deal that is good for both you and your clients.

  In The Power of Saying No, award-winning professor and researcher Vanessa Patrick delves into the new science of saying no. She introduces the ground-breaking concept of "empowered refusal"—a proven framework for saying no that puts you in charge of your life—and reveals some surprising secrets about the power of the word no.Dr. Patrick shares: why empowered refusal is a valuable superskill that helps us say no in a way that does not invite pushback from others; the toolkit of three competencies you need to develop to effectively communicate an empowered no response; a framework to help separate the "good-for-me" from the "not-good-for-me" activities and engagements that come our way; how to establish and implement personal policies that empower your refusal; and how to use empowered refusal to manage difficult askers, strengthen your relationships, and realize your full potential.It's more important than ever to protect your time, focus on your top priorities, and use the power of saying no to reach your goals at work and at home. Empowered refusal is a unique, positive, and meaning-filled approach to managing your energy and ambition effectively, allowing you to make lasting, positive changes in your life.
