Pay The Priceby Steven N. Adjei

The truth is that despite all our best efforts, most new businesses still fail.

Starting a business is tough. It’s even tougher building one with strong ethical foundations. Up to 90 percent of UK and US startups fail by the 10th year. This trend is even worse in developing countries such as in Africa, which incidentally is the most entrepreneurial continent in the world.

Strong foundations are impossible without going through the mill. The process. Highs and lows, shame and pain. This dark side of entrepreneurship is not highlighted enough in the literature, possibly contributing to these high failure rates.

There are plenty of business books about success out there. There aren’t nearly enough business books about failure-and how sustained perseverance through pain and repeated setbacks is often the prerequisite for true, lasting success.

This book is different.

You’ll learn how Passion, Pain, Time and Purpose are vital keys to succeed-with plenty of pioneering insights from unusual sources: music, poetry, chemistry, sport, and stories. It even has its own dedicated Spotify playlist.

In here, you’ll discover:

The Five Principles of Ethical Entrepreneurship
The Three Universal Phases of Entrepreneurship: the Honeymoon, the Formative and the Legacy.
How starting with who, NOT why is crucial for building a successful, enduring, ethical business
Overcoming the FOUR kinds of pain that lead to entrepreneurial failure with a brand new Flag Response Model.
Validating Your Business Model and Partner using real theories in Chemistry.
Earning the best Legacy type, the Pathfinder, out of the FOUR available options and much, much more.

One Red Centby Ellie Ashe

Sarah Girard has a reputation to protect—the paralegal has never failed to serve a subpoena, no matter how reluctant the witness. But this sneaky chef she’s tracking is more slippery than usual.

To get her man, Sarah’s going to have to do the unthinkable—team up with tall, smug, and all-too-handsome investigator Burton Worthington. And if they fail, an innocent man could take the rap for arson.

“One Red Cent is a fun introduction to the Miranda Vaughn Mysteries series—a flirty and mysterious short story that kept me entertained and left me wanting more!” Nikki Haverstock, author of the Target Practice Mysteries.

The book provides a real path of not just the “how’s” of being recruited in today’s maze of college sports the high school athlete will face, but the real life examples of college sports scholarships with the recent NCAA decisions that each student-athlete and their parents will be involved with over the next several “Wild West” years not only for the day-to-day athlete trying to obtain that elusive athletic scholarship, but to help ensure the path will be one that is a smooth transition to college over the possible issues they will face along this path, both financially and personally.

The Opportunity In Cancer: How to Radically Transform Your Cancer Recovery Journey by Dr Katrina Cox ND

The power cancer has on our society is astronomical. Even the word cancer insights fear. As science and treatments advance, more people are living longer with cancer. Yet, many challenges remain within cancer survival, including fatigue, overwhelm, and fear. Meeting these challenges, at every stage of cancer recovery, while facing the uncertainty of the future, is a huge task.

In “The Opportunity in Cancer,” Dr. Katrina takes the reader through a thoughtful, researched, and step-by-step guide to cancer recovery. Her focus on moving beyond survival and transforming to thriving is a novel approach that is grounded in research, and illustrated through case studies.

Her mission is to create a cancer recovery approach that is accessible, and focuses on the fundamentals of individualized care and community support. She does this by exploring her signature system, The Climb Through Cancer Recovery™, which details how to release trauma, reclaim control, restore the body and renew life. Using the lessons learned within this book, Dr. Katrina dismantles the commonly held belief that there is nothing that can be done to influence cancer recurrence by highlighting and addressing the roadblocks to transformation.

Whether you are a cancer survivor, a family member or friend of a cancer survivor, or a healthcare practitioner, you’ll soon understand that every step is a step in the “right” direction, because every movement brings about awareness, grounding, and, most importantly, opportunity.

My Fake Fling by Ali Parker

The world is concerned with my bachelor status more than my wealth.

Time to get a fake date to shut them up.

There’s no one better for the job than my ex-girlfriend.

I know everything about her, every curve, every sigh, every way to make her blush.

Even though we have a hard time getting along, the tension adds the right amount of heat in my life.

With that in place, I can focus on my next billion-dollar luxury project.

Until my father goes missing. No way in hell he would miss out on the opening of our next venture.

And it’s far worse than him skipping town for a bit of fun.

A ransom call sends us all in a panic, and my fake fling is the only person I want to cling to.

And So We Dreamby Linda Mahkovec

Though initially shy of the beautiful teenage daughters—Anne, Vita, and Beth—they welcome him into their lives of adventure, beauty, and dreams.

Joey especially bonds with the middle sister, Vita, and her all-or-nothing pursuit of an acting career. Joey’s “there must be more” merges with Vita’s “I must make it happen” resulting in a magical summer where the town of Greenberrry becomes the
