  Borrowing and lending have been in some form or the other since the ancient times. Even when there was no coins and notes, there were material things that could be lent in return for services. Records of banking as bodies that stored wealth and issued money have been found. Every kingdom had a treasury that would be used for the development of the people, which also included disbursing loans. For good trade to flourish in lands, it was significant that any kingdom maintained some sort of banking system – maintaining proper records of how much goes out and how much comes in. With the emergence of currency, things in modern banking have become much easy and efficient. Banks run the commerce of any nation today and without a proper banking system, a country would be in mayhem.

  Many people aspire to build wealth but a great deal of them will fall short of this much desired goal. In most cases, it’s not because of a lack of drive or ambition but simply because people lack the true knowledge of not only how to build wealth but how to build it fast. They are constantly bombarded by the senseless propaganda spread by the “get rich slowly gurus” who advocate that in order to build wealth you have to: 
  • Save money from a paycheck 
  • Pay yourself first 
  • Clip coupons 
  • Be frugal 
  • Live below your means 
  • Do what you love to do and the money will follow 
  The shocking reality is that you can’t build wealth this way because these tenets have absolutely nothing to do with wealth building. And if you believe that they do then you have been brainwashed to believe that income from a job equals wealth. It doesn’t! You also have been brainwashed to believe that saving money from your paycheck and putting it into in a bank that pays less than 1% interest and living below your means will allow you to create and build wealth. It won’t! 
  However, what will allow you to build wealth and allow you to build it fast is knowing and understanding the actual laws of wealth building and its associated principles then applying them. In his book entitled The 7 Immutable Laws of Fast Wealth Building author and serial entrepreneur Omar Johnson gives you the information that is necessary for you to put together your plan for wealth creation, wealth multiplication, and wealth preservation, the three cornerstones of fast wealth building.

  Practical, proven techniques to make writing for business more effective and less stressful. 
   
  Thanks to e-mail, voice mail, cell phones, pagers, and, of course, the ever-expanding Web, we live in an age of information overload. Although all these wonders were designed to make life and communication easier and faster, speed and efficiency have come with a price. Clear business writing has never been more difficult or stressful. 
   
  Writers are expected to respond quickly to an endless flow of e-mail messages. Readers complain about an increasing lack of clarity along with an abundance of mechanical errors. Supervisors and managers are bewildered by employees’ inability to simply say what they mean and the lack of appropriate tone and sense of decorum in the written communications they produce. 
   
  This book presents proven techniques developed in Dr. Iacone’s seminars that will enable greater ease, proficiency, and clarity in writing. The conversational, instructional format walks you through the actual stages of the writing process—from planning and writing the first draft, to editing and proofreading. This invaluable handbook also includes helpful guidelines to correct punctuation, lists of often-confused words, and step-by-step procedures for generating effective e-mail, memos, letters, and reports.

  Templeton's Way with Money -...

  Sir Johns philosophy of investing, which is built around the  presumption that investors must have the courage and patience to  ride out economic and market cycles, remains highly relevant today.  In the aftermath of two of the most savage bear markets in living  memory, which twice within a decade have seen stock markets around  the world fall, peak to trough, by 50%, many investors remain  shell-shocked and disillusioned by their losses. Had they followed  a disciplined Templeton approach, we can show that they would not  have fared anything like as badly as many did. Nor, certainly,  would they have become so disheartened.   John Templeton, a perennial optimist produced his best  investment returns during and immediately after bear markets,  underlining that success in investment is just as much about  avoiding losses and preserving what you have gained, as it is about  picking winners. The authors believe it is important for investors  today to appreciate that the events of the past ten years,  including the great global financial crisis of 2008-09, reinforce  the importance of some fundamental truths about investment. One is  that there are always opportunities to make money, even when   no, particularly when ?] the outlook appears particularly  gloomy.
