Single, never married, divorced - college-aged, middle-aged or other - are you wanting to get your finances in order but you can't find a good book on how to do it? Do the popular financial books out on the market not fit you because they factor in that everyone is married with a house, a yard and 2.5 kids and needs to consult their partner about budgeting and financial decisions?

About Jan Elliot:

Jan Elliott achieved her childhood dream: to become a teacher of Home Economics Education. But that was just the beginning…

It all started at age 10 when she joined her first 4-H club in Altamont, IL and became interested in baking, flower arrangements, sewing and interior projects. After several blue ribbons she was hooked on all sorts of home-making projects. A few years later, as other girls were choosing simple home economics projects, she decided to redecorate her whole bedroom - a project that was met with great accolades from her teachers and peers.

Jan was always ready to take on a new project, try something that hadn’t been done before and help others along the way. Her love for hearth, home, health (and about a dozen other things), lead her to Southern Illinois University where she completed a four year degree in Home Economics Education.

From the get-go in her adult life, Jan noticed something unique about many of the women she met. While they were clearly talented and highly intelligent, they lacked confidence, were not willing to take action and were afraid to follow their dreams. They had all the right stuff but lacked the motivation and guidance to build their best lives.

Transforming this observation into action, Jan found she had a unique gift for supporting women through weight loss, becoming healthier, looking their best and achieving more in their personal and professional lives.

Her most celebrated career was working with women’s groups presenting various topics on professionalism, communication skills, interviewing and management skills, organization, time management, life balance and financial fitness for women where she trained and worked with thousands of women all across the US, Hawaii and Puerto Rico.

After retiring from her speaking business, to care for an aging parent, she continued working with women in interior re-designing. After several more years, her husband retired and she found herself giving up the house, city, friends and life she loved to move south to an area she swore she would never live.

As a born again Christian she then discovered her gift of teaching and presenting went even deeper. For over ten years, she has cultivated Bible Study Fellowship as a Group Discussion Leader for women’s bible studies.

With much experience in many different areas and walks of life Jan brings to women everywhere her continued support and exceptional knowledge now, as it applies to their golden years. She has felt called to write the book Faith Full Retirement to help women find joy in all they do in their later years.

Jan currently teaches workshops, seminars and keynotes in the area of Faith Full Retirement in her hometown, Leland NC, which is just across the bridge from the beautiful historic city of Wilmington. She lives there with her husband of 48 years, and together they frequently travel to Pittsburgh, PA to visit their three grandbabies.

'The Bull, The Bear, and the Baboon: FX Lessons Learned the Hard Way' by Winsor Hoang

Language: English

Product Dimensions: 9 x 6 x 0.6 inches

Description:

Why do 90% of the people who start trading FX lose money?

‘World-class traders, trainers and authors’ have spent many years exaggerating, misrepresenting, advocating techniques that no one could ever master, and taught out-of-date, worthless techniques is why. Adding to the fact that new traders trust “experts”; they attend “free” how-to-trade FX seminars offered by self-described expert traders; they buy books that “reveal the secrets” of successful traders and eventually have to learn a lot of hard lessons of big money losses.

This book will arm you with the knowledge you need to avoid the fate of 90% of new FX traders and in turn, big money losses.

How can I be so sure? I was one of the thousands who graduated from the school of big losses. The only thing I became an expert in was losing money. I paid for courses, bought and read books, and purchased a number of software systems when I first became an FX trader.

I only wish is that this book had been available then, being armed with these lessons and those learnt from others' experiences. I would have saved thousands of dollars of hard earned money, years of time, and trouble at home.

This book details the experiences of seven of us who believed the experts. It reveals the ways FX trading experts misrepresent their success, why the methods they teach don't work for traders. Reading this book before you spend anything on “expert” training, you’ll know what questions to ask, how to get to the truth, how not to get taken by disreputable trainers, and how you can more likely become one of the 10% of new FX traders who actually make money.

After two years of planning, writing and editing, utilizing Winsor Hoang’s 15+ years’ experience in the forex market as well as drawing on the experience of others, this book is able to identify the lessons learned and ways to be more aware of the pitfalls of investing in a competitive forex market.

With so many “experts” in the market, taking peoples' money and offering nothing of value in return, this book provides a wealth of knowledge that every new investor should know when entering the forex market!

The Bull, The Bear, and The Baboon offers an insight into the currency trading market through the eyes of seven people, each with a different reason for becoming a trader. Their individual stories and the ways in which they interact and influence each other provide the reader an eye-opening portrayal of the trading world.

Both entertaining and informational, this book reads like a suspense novel and, at the same time, offers practical advice to both the novice and experienced investors. It is a captivating narrative story in what is typically a nonfiction, educational genre.

Inspired by the overwhelming number of swindlers that fool the average individual entering currency trading, this book is written for mainstream audiences, weaving very real trading cautionary points into the technical pitfalls, disciplines, and psychologies related to trading.

Both entertaining and informational, this book reads like a suspense novel and, at the same time, offers practical advice to both the novice and experienced investors.

Ron, an entrepreneur and self-made multimillionaire, needs a new challenge. Michelle, an unemployed, recent college graduate is seeking income. Joey, a compulsive gambler, sees a new game he can play from home. Each succumbs to Harry’s sales pitch and enrolls in a course that will change their lives – and the lives of four others who band together to form the “Gang of Seven.” The Bull, The Bear and The Baboon recounts each person’s situation, examines the reasons their trading strategies failed, offers specific steps that investors should take to avoid losing all their money, and outlines a trading edge to significant profitability, even when one is right only half the time.

Inspired by the overwhelming number of swindlers that fool the average individual entering currency trading, this book is written for the mainstream audiences, weaving very real trading cautionary points into the technical pitfalls, disciplines, and psychology related to trading.

The book is a guide to successful crowdfunding for people who want to change the world.

About Devin:

Devin D. Thorpe thinks he is the luckiest person alive. After being “let go” from the best job he’d ever had—as the Chief Financial Officer of the multinational food and beverage company MonaVie—he and his wife ended up living in China for a year where he wrote Your Mark On The World and embarked on the career he’d always wanted yet hadn’t dared dream.

Now, as an author, a popular guest speaker and Forbes contributor, Devin is devoted full time to championing social good. His current life isn’t much like his past.

As an entrepreneur, Devin ran—at separate times—a boutique investment banking firm and a small mortgage company. He served as the Treasurer for the multinational vitamin manufacturer USANA Health Sciences years before becoming CFO for MonaVie. Over his career he led or advised on the successful completion of $500 million in transactions. Devin squeezed in two brief stints in government, including two years working for Jake Garn on the U.S. Senate Banking Committee Staff and another year working for an independent state agency called USTAR, where he helped foster technology entrepreneurship during Governor Jon Huntsman’s administration.

Devin is proud to have graduated from the University of Utah David Eccles School of Business, which recognized him as a Distinguished Alum in 2006. He also earned an MBA at Cornell University where he ran the student newspaper, Cornell Business.

Today, Devin channels the idealism of his youth with the loving support of his wife, Gail. Their son Dayton is a PhD candidate in Physics at UC Berkeley (and Devin rarely misses an opportunity to mention that).
