    Operation Entrepreneur Freedom: Go Get Yourself in Trouble Are you dreaming to start your own business or you have already made the leap into business ownership. This book is a lot of "what to do", a lot of "what not to do's", and a little of got lucky by accidental doing it right the first time. An entertaining tale of how a poor kid from divorced parents dreamt, started, operated, retired from, and went into true entrepreneurship freedom. This book is to encourage anyone wanting to build a business from scratch or an existing one to heights they have never imagined.The foundation of any small business is systems, culture, mindset, and financial education. Schools, parents, and most jobs do not teach these principles successfully to operate a small business in America which leaves you with a "trial and error" way of business.My goal is to have you skip all the unnecessary back steps. Teaching you to not making those mistakes most business owners tend to make from not having the experience or education to avoid them. The take away from this book is "You don't know what you don't know". I hope to get you enough education from my sometimes funny stories of my business growth for you not to make the same sometimes huge mistakes I unfortunately made.Operation Entrepreneur Freedom is your path to streamlining your business to be able to outline a path to successful operations and a way to build the business you wanted when you dreamt of first owning your own business.Want to be a guest on Book 101 Review?

Featuring backstage access over the past 10 years (2010 to 2020), it's a peek into how she scored her major interviews with stars like Kathleen Turner, Spike Lee and Karl Lagerfeld, as well as what it has been like attending A-list events like Heidi Klum's legendary Halloween party. This is all driven by her snarky observations, with photos taken by the female gaze.

    Cycle of Lives: 15 People's Stories, 5,000 Miles, and a Journey Through the Emotional Chaos of CancerAmazon Bestseller in "Brain Cancer"Have you ever been forced to consider the fact of your mortality? If confronted with cancer, how would you feel? What would you say to the people you love? What would they say to you?No two people have the same answers to these questions, a lesson I learned well during a solo six-week, 5,000-mile cross-country bike ride I called Cycle of Lives. The trip started as a fundraiser in honor of my sister, June, who died of brain cancer. But long before I even set out on my endurance ride from L.A. to Florida to N.Y., I exhaustively interviewed fifteen people across the country whose lives had also been irrevocably changed by cancer—either as patients, survivors, loved ones, or caregivers.Want to be a guest on Book 101 Review?
