Ten Year Career


Book Description

"A powerful and valuable book to live a life of greater freedom and impact", Robin Sharma, #1 worldwide bestselling author of The 5AM Club and The Everyday Hero Manifesto Reimagine your future, adjust your efforts, jump into action and work for just ten more years before doing what the hell you want! Building a business can be confusing. Entrepreneurs aren't sure whether to keep control or delegate and automate, say yes or say no, work all hours or prioritise work-life balance. They take advice from all directions and wind up feeling overwhelmed and overworked without a finish line in sight. The TEN YEAR CAREER turns that premise upside down and argues that it doesn't have to be that way. If you have intention, focus, a willingness to question received truths and the vision to think big, you can emulate the world's most successful entrepreneurs and retire in ten years, no matter where you are in your career today. You'll learn: - How to define success your way, not their way. - How to achieve far more in a shorter space of time. - How to run your business without it running you. - The four-step framework by which to complete your Ten Year Career. You can achieve much more than you do now, in much less time than you thought, to reach financial freedom earlier than you imagined. That freedom, in turn, leads to the freedom to choose how you spend your days. The freedom to do whatever you want, with whomever you want, when you want to do it. The freedom to live life on your own terms.

World Englishes – Problems, Properties and Prospects

World Englishes is a vibrant research field that has attracted scholars from many different linguistic subdisciplines. Emphasizing the common ground of all research on World Englishes, the 22 articles in this collected volume, selected from more than a hundred papers presented at the 2007 conference of the International Association for World Englishes in Regensburg, cover a broad range of topics which together reflect the state of the art of research in this field. The volume focuses on regions as diverse as Africa, the Caribbean, the Antipodes and Asia, but also promotes a globally comparative perspective by analyzing selected characteristics of the English language across a wide range of varieties. Methodologically, a number of different approaches are applied, including corpus linguistic studies, socio-phonetics as well as historical discourse analysis. Due to its wide scope, the book is of interest not only to World Englishes scholars but also to sociolinguists as well as applied, contact or corpus linguists.

On "just a short, temporary detour from what I call life," Cal finds herself in a group home with four other girls, watched over by a strange old woman everyone refers to as the Knitting Lady. At first Cal can think of nothing but how to get out of this nuthouse. She knows she doesn't belong there. But it turns out that all the girls, and even the Knitting Lady, may have a lot more in common than they could have imagined. A fresh new voice in middle-grade fiction—Jill Wolfson's unforgettable characters will blunder their way into readers' hearts.
