No More Champagne
Author: David Lough
Publisher: Picador
ISBN: 1250071275
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 546
Book Description
Meticulously researched by a senior private banker now turned historian, No More Champagne reveals for the first time the full extent of the iconic British war leader's private struggle to maintain a way of life instilled by his upbringing and expected of his public position. Lough uses Churchill's own most private records, many never researched before, to chronicle his family's chronic shortage of money, his own extravagance and his recurring losses from gambling or trading in shares and currencies. Churchill tried to keep himself afloat by borrowing to the hilt, putting off bills and writing 'all over the place'; when all else failed, he had to ask family or friends to come to the rescue. Yet within five years he had taken advantage of his worldwide celebrity to transform his private fortunes with the same ruthlessness as he waged war, reaching 1945 with today's equivalent of £3 million in the bank. His lucrative war memoirs were still to come. Throughout the story, Lough highlights the threads of risk, energy, persuasion, and sheer willpower to survive that link Churchill's private and public lives. He shows how constant money pressures often tempted him to short-circuit the ethical standards expected of public figures in his day before usually pulling back to put duty first-except where the taxman was involved.

No Money Down!
Author: Ronald P. Maierhofer
Publisher: Dog Ear Publishing
ISBN: 160844144X
Category : Professional sports
Languages : en
Pages : 174
Book Description
Have you ever dreamed, or had a fantasy about owning a sports franchise? This is a compelling story about the author's journey through his American dream. His story covers the years 1979 to 1983, during which he successfully acquired a professional indoor soccer team franchise in the Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL), with no money down, and how he subsequently lost it. The author has a practical leveraging method, which when used, can be applied to buying or acquiring any business. He clearly and simply lays out those guidelines. This is a story of a working man's desire and how he figured out how to initially get a franchise funded with other people's money (OPM). And, after funding, to market it successfully against other established and popular sport leagues, then only to see how quickly it vanished. Guidelines to the steps to acquiring a sports franchise are laid out. The birth of the author's dream begins in 1979, while vacationing on the beautiful island of Virgin Gorda. In Chapter 1 we are exposed to his vision, which at this time is nothing more than a pipe dream. Guidelines to acquiring a franchise are laid out in Chapter 2. The game plan is developed and strategies unfurled. Once awarded the franchise, he must raise the funds to sustain the franchise and operational costs. In Chapter 3 he develops step by step instructions on how to legally structure the deal, to entice investors and to learn about funding. Chapters 4, 5, and 6 give us detailed insights about the inner workings of a sports franchise How to organize How to staff How to market the dream And, how to acquire players These chapters are a must for all sports marketers, sports educators and entrepreneurs. Chapter 7 sweeps us into the cacophony of a major indoor sporting event. The media coverage is outlined in Chapter 8. We commiserate with the author as he describes the demise of his dream in Chapter 9 and how he rises from the ashes in the final chapter. From Chapter 7: "Imagine if you can, sitting in a luxurious and darkened indoor arena at game time waiting for your team to be introduced for the first time. The playing field is a plush, emerald green, fast-track surface. Suddenly, flashing strobe lights appear, swirling their multicolored beams around the arena. Then, deafening music starts playing You feel your adrenalin rising and you are getting into the magic. Unexpectedly, a spotlight appears at one end of the arena. The light is focused on one of the goals, and it and the surrounding area is engulfed in artificial fog...". It's game time

Possum Living: How to Live Well without a Job and With (Almost) No Money
Author: Dolly Freed
Publisher: Tin House Books
ISBN: 1947793217
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 163
Book Description
“A back-to-the-land classic” (Garden & Gun) that will “inspire you to embrace a simpler life” (O, The Oprah Magazine). In the late seventies, at the age of eighteen and with a seventh-grade education, Dolly Freed wrote Possum Living about the five years she and her father lived off the land on a half-acre lot outside of Philadelphia. At the time of its publication in 1978, Possum Living became an instant classic, known for its plucky narration and no-nonsense practical advice on how to quit the rat race and live frugally. In her delightful, straightforward, and irreverent style, Freed guides readers on how to buy and maintain a home, raise and grow their own food, cope with the law, stay healthy, save money, and more, all in the name of self-reliant, independent living. Forty years later, Possum Living remains an essential guide to going off the grid. This updated edition includes an introduction by Novella Carpenter, and new wisdom from Freed on aging, used cars, emergency funds, and how to get back in touch with yourself. Possum Living, says Freed, is about how to cook; to go fishing; to be with family, friends, and neighbors; to forage for wild berries; to enjoy a hobby; to relax; or, even better, to do nothing at all. Some of the best living, she reminds us, happens in possum time.
