  The Funding Is Out There! is unlike other business books because most titles about capital focus on the obvious sources of funding without intimate discussion on how to navigate the financing process. 
   
  The Funding Is Out There! provides a roadmap of how to finance a business with step-by-step options, their processes, and real-life examples. The author pulls from her experience as a CFO and business financial and strategic advisor to infuse the text with helpful advice and down-to-earth facts. The result is an easy-to-read funding manual applicable to any business with earnings from $300,000 to $20 million.

  Leland Faust unmasks Wall Street’s unsavory tactics in powerful detail by giving readers a high-level view of how the financial services industry misleads them, overcharges them, and exposes them to needless risk. He documents the financial industry’s alluring come-ons, airbrushed risks, high-stakes gambling, half-truths, misleading statements, outlandish predictions, tricks to overcharge customers, bad deals, and outright fraud by the most prominent and renowned of Wall Street’s players. 
  A Capitalist’s Lament is about what happens when financial firms and their employees forget whose interest they are supposed to protect. It shows how making foolish or wrong predictions is of no consequence to those who make them and how Wall Street luminaries with poor track records still garner celebrity status. Most of all, it spotlights how Wall Street manipulates the system and furthers its own interests at its customers’ expense and puts us all at great risk. Here is what you need to know to protect yourself from “business as usual” and get ahead—instead of getting taken.

  Beating the Odds  is the improbable, inspiring  autobiography of financial guru Eddie C. Brown, one of the  nations top stock pickers and money managers. It details how  Brown skillfully kept Brown Capital Management afloat through the  dot-com bust, 9/11 and the Great Recession. Born to a 13-year-old  unwed mother in the rural South, this African-American investment  whiz created a Baltimore-based financial firm that accumulated more  than $6 billion under management.   Brown delves into the profound heartbreak and  disorientation upon the death of his beloved grandmother   who was his surrogate mother -- and recounts how Browns  moonshine-running Uncle Jake subsequently became the dominant adult  figure in Browns life. His unflinchingly honest,  easy-to-read memoir details how intellectual curiosity, abiding  self-belief, hard work and divine providence helped Brown earn an  electrical engineering degree, become an Army officer, and later a  civilian IBM engineer. Readers will learn of the strife that ensued  when Brown quit IBM to earn an MBA, leading to investment jobs that  prepared him to start his own money management company in 1983.
