We Are the Leaders We Have Been Looking For (The W. E. B. Du Bois Lectures) by Eddie Glaude Jr. https://amzn.to/3JQZWyM We are more than the circumstances of our lives, and what we do matters. In We Are the Leaders We Have Been Looking For, one of the nation’s preeminent scholars and a New York Times bestselling author, Eddie S. Glaude Jr., makes the case that the hard work of becoming a better person should be a critical feature of Black politics. Through virtuoso interpretations of Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, and Ella Baker, Glaude shows how we have the power to be the heroes that our democracy so desperately requires. Based on the Du Bois Lectures delivered at Harvard University, the book begins with Glaude’s unease with the Obama years. He felt then, and does even more urgently now, that the excitement around the Obama presidency constrained our politics as we turned to yet another prophet-like figure. He examines his personal history and the traditions that both shape and overwhelm his own voice. Glaude weaves anecdotes about his evolving views on Black politics together with the writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson, John Dewey, Toni Morrison, James Baldwin, and Ralph Ellison, encouraging us to reflect on the lessons of these great thinkers and address imaginatively the challenges of our day in voices uniquely our own. Narrated with passion and philosophical intensity, this book is a powerful reminder that if American democracy is to survive, we must step out from under the shadows of past giants to build a better society―one that derives its strength from the pew, not the pulpit.

So when the girls each receive a generous, guilt-induced dowry from their dying grandmother, the sly Mr. Hathaway vows to release their funds only if Cora and her sisters can procure suitable husbands—far from New York. For Cora, England is a fresh start. She has no delusions of love, but a husband who will respect her independence? That’s an earl worth fighting for. Enter: Leopold Brendon, Earl of Devonworth, a no-nonsense member of Parliament whose plan to pass a Public Health bill that would provide clean water to the working class requires the backing of a wealthy wife. He just never expected to crave Cora’s touch or yearn to hear her thoughts on his campaign—or to discover that his seemingly perfect bride protects so many secrets... But secrets have a way of bubbling to the surface, and Devonworth has a few of his own. With their pasts laid bare and Cora’s budding passion for women’s rights taking a dangerous turn, they’ll learn the true cost of losing their heart to a stranger—and that love is worth any price.

The States of the Earth: An Ecological and Racial History of Secularization by Mohamed Amer Meziane https://amzn.to/4bkJ2oc How the disenchantment of empire led to climate change While industrial states competed to colonize Asia and Africa in the nineteenth century, conversion to Christianity was replaced by a civilizing mission. This new secular impetus strode hand in hand with racial capitalism in the age of empires: a terrestrial paradise was to be achieved through accumulation and the ravaging of nature. Far from a defence of religion, The States of the Earth argues that phenomena such as evangelism and political Islam are best understood as products of empire and secularization. In a world where material technology was considered divine, religious and secular forces both tried to achieve Heaven on Earth by destroying Earth itself.

EXPERT IN YOU: Build a Lucrative and Impactful Coaching & Consulting Business from Your Xpertise by Ann L. Carden https://amzn.to/3JEq3sY What would your life look like if you could consistently bring in $15, 20k, 50k or even $100k or more a MONTH? What would your life look like if you were consistently bringing in high-paying, high-value clients you love working with and who appreciate you?I am going to give you what I found to be the winning formula I use myself and teach others to do. The BEAUTIFUL thing is, once you get things working right, you will have a rinse-and-repeat system you can count on to build a dream business. From there, you can scale and leverage your business to achieve an even higher level of success. Many coaches and consultants are out there flailing in the wind to try to have success. One month they have many clients with a high income but then they lose a couple of clients and they are back down again. Being on the income roller-coaster is no way to run or enjoy your business. My first business started in 1991 after leaving a thirteen-year corporate business management position to stay home and raise my babies. Making a move from the west coast to the Midwest to be closer to family, we clearly didn’t think through all the obstacles we would face. Because of the financial struggles we experienced, I started my entrepreneurial journey that would span over twenty-nine years (as I am writing this book.) Over the twenty-nine years, I have built six businesses from the ground up and have sold five of them for significant profits. My coaching and consulting business is my sixth successful business. Over the years I have finally “dialed in” what it takes to have a multiple-six-figure or beyond coaching and consulting business you can love, helping clients get great results, making a great income, while still having freedom in your life. These things are why I am writing this book for you. This book is for the success-minded coaches and consultants or professional service providers who want to reach a higher level in their business. In this book, I am going to provide you with a step-by-step strategic game plan to reach your next level. My hope is when you implement what you learn from this book it will help you change your business and your life. I’m going to teach you how to plan the business and income you want, how to get clients, how to deliver your services, and scale a coaching and consulting business. This book, “EXPERT IN YOU” – Build a Lucrative and Impactful Coaching and Consulting Business From Your Xpertise, is a strategic game-plan for you. There are plenty of coaches just getting started in their business and they may be earning a few thousand dollars a month on a consistent basis, but they are barely getting by. Making low monthly revenue makes it difficult financially to invest in themselves or their business for growth. A lack of financial resources will limit their influence, impact, and freedom. They ultimately can’t scale their business because they don’t have consistent leads, appointments, clients, or money. Many more coaches and consultants become trapped in the way they build their business and as a result, they struggle to have the freedom they desire or the money they deserve. This results in coaches having to work with difficult clients; taking anyone who can pay them (even if it is a little.) Because they struggle financially, they often aren’t able to develop a working process or systems to reach higher levels of revenue or income.I am here to tell you that the strategies and plans I have put into this book are not the only way to build a lucrative business, but they are the effective strategies I use and teach that has allowed me to build a business beyond my wildest dreams, without sacrificing the quality of my life. You can have this too!

I mean, they know that we document our files extremely well and we provide enough evidence so that if it does have to be seen by an attorney, that we'll win." - Ron Snouffer "There are no bad questions when it comes to insurance claims. If you don't understand something, you're confused, or you feel uneasy about a position that the carrier has put you in, you just need to ask. We're more than willing to help." - Ron Snouffer
