The Complete Idiot's Guide to Working Less, Earning More by Jeff Cohen Pdf

It's in the news every day - Americans are slowly transitioning from a workaholic culture to one that places more emphasis on family and recognizes the value of downtime. Articles on sites such as CNN.com and in papers such as The Houston Timesrun stories almost weekly on topics such as life simplification, increased productivity in less time, and working less to spend more time at home. And with books such as The 4-Hour Workweekskyrocketing in popularity, it is obvious that the trend is only going to continue. But is finding a way to spend more time at home really only about increasing productivity and outsourcing lower-level responsibilities, as books such as The 4-Hour Workweek would have readers think? Not at all. It's about making smart choices and realistic decisions to find a comfortable balance between work and life. So how do you determine a desired income and set sensible work hours to attain that balance? What are the right work scenarios for these goals, and how can readers make the transition? And what are some passive income techniques for creating - and maintaining - a positive income? The answers to these questions and more can be found in Jeff Cohen's The Complete Idiot's Guide to Working Less, Earning More. Through practical, realistic information provided by an author who works only about three days a week, readers will understand how to- Think about the modern-day work ethic in a new way. Evaluate the true monetary value of time spent at work. Find the right work scenario for each individual's goals. Set income-focused goals - and achieve them. Build - and maintain - powerful relationships and networks. Round out skill sets to be more marketable. Get work done outside the confines of an office building. Maximize technology to minimize time spent on minutia. Avoid time wasters and efficiency traps. Use active and passive income techniques to uphold living standards. Presented in an easy-to-follow, interactive workbook-style approach, The Complete Idiot's Guide to Working Lessteaches readers how to attain the perfect working lifestyle - which is something different for everyone.

Complete Idiot's Guide to Careers in the U.S. Military by Bill Harris Pdf

The lagging economy getting you down? No jobs out there, no job prospects? Join the Army. Or the Navy. Or the Marines. Or the Air Force. Good pay, great benefits -- an excellent career opportunity. -- This book will teach you how to tweak the system to help you enjoy the fullest benefits the U.S. Military has to offer. -- What little competition there is for this title is several years old and virtually obsolete. Uncle Sam Wants You -- more than ever. Since the tragic events of 9/11, all branches of the U.S. Military have seen a rise in enlistments. This is due to several factors: 1) A renewed sense of patriotism, and 2) a cooling off the economy and subsequent recession. Suddenly, job opportunities for recent high school and college grads are drying up quickly. That's why a career in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, or even the Coast Guard, may be an excellent option. Author Bill Harris, working closely with recruiters from branch of the military, will detail the intricacies of getting the most out of a military career and discuss which branch of the military might be best for you. He'll explore age limits, guaranteed training, bonuses and benefits, and even the rigors of basic training. He'll also cover the many perks offered by a career in the military, and how best to obtain them.
