Stop rushing into businesses born from half-baked ideas, misguided theories, and other forms of self-delusion. A lack of proper validation kills more businesses than anything else. As Joel Barker says, "Speed is only useful if you're running in the right direction." Will It Fly? will help you make sure you are clear for takeoff. It answers questions like: Does your business idea have merit? Will it succeed in the market you're trying to serve, or will it just be a waste of time and resources? Is it a good idea for you? In other words, will it fly? Chock-full of practical suggestions you can apply to your business idea today, Will It Fly? combines action-based exercises, small-scale "litmus tests", and real-world case studies with anecdotes from the author's personal experience of making money online, hosting successful podcasts, testing niche sites, and launching several online businesses. Will It Fly? will challenge you to think critically, act deliberately, and dare greatly. You can think of the book as your business flight manual, something you can refer to for honest and straight-forward advice as you begin to test your idea and build a business that takes off and soars. In five parts, Will It Fly? will guide you through the validation of your next business idea: Part one, Mission Design, helps you make sure your target idea aligns with and supports your goals. Part two, Development Lab, walks you through uncovering important details about your idea that you haven't thought about. Part three, Flight Planning, is all about assessing current market conditions. Part four, Flight Simulator, focuses on the actual validating and testing of an idea with a small segment of a target market. Finally, Part five, All Systems Go, is to help you make sure your idea after all that will fly! Please Note: Additional materials for this audiobook can be accessed at willitflybook.com/course

Translated from the critical edition by John Clarke, OCD, 3rd ed. (1997). Includes general and biblical index, with 8 pages of photos.Two and a half years before her death in 1897 at the age of 24, as Thérèse Martin began writing down her childhood memories at the request of her blood sisters in the Lisieux Carmel, few could have guessed the eventual outcome. Yet this Story of my soul, first published in 1898 in a highly edited version, quickly became a modern spiritual classic, read by millions and translated into dozens of languages around the world. Decades later, in response to growing requests from scholars and devotees of the Saint, a facsimile edition of the manuscripts appeared, along with more popular French editions of what the Saint had actually written. Here, expressed with all of Thérèse's original spontaneity and fervor, we rediscover the great themes of her spirituality: confidence and love, the little way, abandonment to God's merciful love, and her mission in the church and world today. Father John Clarke's acclaimed translation, first published in 1975 and now accepted as the standard throughout the English-speaking world, is a faithful and unaffected rendering of Thérèse's own words, from the original manuscripts. This new edition, prepared for the centenary of the Saint's death, includes a select bibliography of recent works in English on Thérèse, along with a new referencing system now widely used in studies of her doctrine.

The journey toward Minimalism can be tricky. This book will help make the journey of learning how to be a minimalist much less difficult – even enjoyable – for you. Wannabe minimalists often have not only hundreds, if not thousands, of material goods to declutter, but also a plethora of mainstream mindsets that make navigating their way toward voluntary simplicity a rough and rocky path. I wrote this book to ease that navigation process for newbies. I also wrote it to help intermediate Minimalists who want to dive deeper into the journey, to overcome the obstacles that are holding them back. The steps and tips are those that my husband and I used to begin the journey toward Minimalism, and the ones we continue to use to remain on the path.The book begins by briefly addressing what Minimalism truly is (as opposed to what religious minimalist gurus have made many people think it is). It continues by explaining the benefits of becoming a minimalist.The rest of the book, the bulk of it, describes the steps you need to take in order to master Minimalism; that is, to overcome the insidious materialistic mindset of the modern age and to integrate the philosophy into your soul so completely that it becomes as easy as breathing. The first step toward simple living is one you likely won’t hear about in any other book on the subject. Then, you will be asked to consider two major paradigm shifts that will completely change the way you look at material goods. The remaining steps are more practical and hands-on, enabling you to take instant action on your desire to join the minimalist movement.If you are looking at becoming a minimalist, or you have already begun moving toward it but need some encouragement to “fight the good fight,” read this book. It will help.

"When The Storms Come" is based on the Old Testament book of Job. It takes you through the high - and low - points in his life. Walk with Job and hs family and learn how to "take" trials in the power and strength of the Lord.This is a book that will move your heart and help you to rejoice in the midst of your pain. You will be blessed as you share these insights from Job's life and apply them to your own situation.What Others Have Said About This Book:A powerful spiritual guide to overcoming and healing emotional, physical, and professional crises.The book’s title is immediately compelling. Evoking the specter of the dark clouds of loss and dramatic changes, the title addresses our fear of surviving the unknown and it extends a promise to us that we can indeed cope—and survive with hope and comfort. Our trust in the author’s intent is instantaneous. Her affirmation of God’s love for each member of His human race suffuses her words with continuous affirmation and encouragement. Throughout the book, she speaks in plain English of Job’s losses, and her voice speaks so personally to us that we often find ourselves saying, “Yes, that’s exactly how I feel.” Thus, the healing begins, the aching subsides, and the grief diminishes as she reveals God’s ever-present partnership in our recovery. The author structures her book so that her readers can parallel their losses with Job’s successive losses. In the same way, the author explores our own sudden losses—because life, for all of us, changes continuously, sometimes happily but often seemingly tragically. Loss, we learn, is inevitable, and therefore the author teaches us to remember and to recognize God’s extended hand, ready to help us survive depression, pain, and sadness. He is ready to help us begin the healing process. The author’s approach is never to overwhelm us or condemn us for our human failings of faith. Instead, her chapters are succinct, clearly written explanations and expressions of faith, assuring us always of the truth of biblical healing. closes with a brief, inspirational and helpful prayer. The first chapter of this book is particularly strong because it summarizes the Book of Job and focuses on God’s role in Job’s life. It anchors the book, and the final chapter sums up lessons learned, the importance of God’s offering of unconditional love. Closing the book, we feel renewed, reassured that, with God’s help, we—and other readers—can indeed survive and triumph “when the storms come.” This is one of the most accessible books on spiritually surviving grief and losses that I have ever read. Its short meditations and prayers are powerfully written, and they address today’s problem with the same strength and courage that Job used when he faced his own grief and losses.

Anonymous. That was Jennifer’s life. But when she survived a domestic terrorist attack and her last-minute escape became the iconic image of the event, that life was over. Wanting only to disappear and become just another face in the crowd, she cashed in on her unwanted fame and moved to a small town, hidden away and safe. Retired. That was Sean’s life. A former covert operative – the kind the government denies exists – he’d been pushed unwillingly into a life of suburban peace and quiet. But his retirement ended when he saw Jennifer’s rescue; from then on he only wanted to find those responsible for the attack, even if it meant turning rogue. What Jennifer and Sean will both find is that nothing goes to plan, and their paths will cross in a way neither could have foreseen.
