101 Questions To Ask Before You Invest In A Franchise by Dr. John P. Hayes
Review
"101 Questions To Ask Before You Invest In A Franchise" is the must-have book for anyone looking to buy a franchise.
The book opens by telling you that questions you THINK you should ask before buying a franchise are actually irrelevant. Then the author tells you exactly what you actually should ask. The book is organized as a series of checkpoints that you can move through during your decision-making process to evaluate franchise opportunities.
One of the book's greatest assets is there are lots of facts and statistics. The book also, in addition to the information contained, has links to many helpful tools and more info online that can help with things such as finding franchise opportunities.
A key point of the book is learning when to invest in a franchise. Other helpful topics covered are the break down of royalties and advertising fees and how to borrow money for a franchise. There really is a wealth of information in this book, and it is all presented in a format that is organized and easy to read.
If you're considering investing in a franchise, you must check out this book.

Witchcraft Spell Book: The Complete Guide of Witchcraft Rituals & Spells for Beginners by G. Alan Joel
Review
G.
Alan Joel’s “Witchcraft
Spell Book: The Complete Guide of Witchcraft Rituals & Spells for
Beginners” is a how-to book that presents witchcraft and magic as
hypotheses for readers to test for themselves, taking nothing on "blind
faith."
A compilation of
G. Alan Joel's series, "Witchcraft Spell Books," this beginner's manual
includes some history on witchcraft, practitioner testimonials,
definitions of terms, and complete instructions for the practice of 27
spells and rituals involving the four elements of the Universe: Air,
Water, Fire, and Earth.
Witchcraft
is available for everyone to learn, and what efforts are put into the
practices of intentionality, prayer, and deliberate creation, G. Alan
Joel says will pay you back with interest.
By
practicing the "precise science" of witchcraft and adhering to its
specific rules and procedures, a multitude of benefits can be realized.
For example, witchcraft connects you with spirit (the keepers of dreams
and life lessons), helps you remember what you want, and aids your
connections with powers and beings (angels, animal totems, and Spirit
guides).
The
greatest feature of this beginner's guide is the author's clear and
honest explanation of the outcomes of witchcraft and of the science
itself. Witchcraft emphasizes conscious creation and tapping into our
intuitive selves, helping individuals break free from reactionary living
and transform life in the ways they want.
The “Witchcraft
Spell Book: The Complete Guide of Witchcraft Rituals & Spells for
Beginners” is perfect if you are new to the practice of witchcraft and
are looking for assistance to achieve a conscious state of being.

The Hustler: Become the Best at What You Do by Chris Vadnais
Chris Vadnais' "The Hustler: Become the Best at What You Do" is about becoming the most successful person you can possibly be.
Vadnais describes the hustler as the person who is always winning awards, constantly taking their success to the next level.
This inspiring book tells you how to become the hustler, by taking inventory of what you are currently doing in your life and what you need to do.
One of the things that Vadnais stresses, which is not a point made in similar books, is that the hustler works hard for success.
Vadnais makes it clear that you must work hard to be a hustler; he also emphasizes that failure is allowable, as long as the hustler does not quit.
Some of the topics covered in the book are: how to find your niche, how to dream big, and how to network, among others.
Something that is helpful about the book is that it has tie-ins to other books and psychological theories, as well as examples of hustlers in the public eye.
If you're looking to improve your productivity through hard work and determination, then this book is for you.

The Dining Doctor by Joey Bradshaw
Review
"The Dining Doctor" does what it says on the cover -- teaches the reader, in a concise yet thorough manner, how to treat and prevent bad service.
The author, Joey Bradshaw, has been a server for many years, which is apparent in the writing.
The book covers a number of ways of how to improve service in a variety of situations, such as what to do if you are going to hold a party at a restaurant.
Bradshaw writes about what to do to prevent bad service when ordering food or drinks.
He also writes about what to do after you have received bad service, such as an appetizer does not come out.
Although at 17 pages the book is fairly short, it is packed full of information to make your dining experience a pleasant one.
The book ends with a very to-the-point summary of the book's ten recommendations, which could act as a quick checklist for any diner.
Overall, "The Dining Doctor" is recommended for anyone looking to get the most out of their dining experience, whether they are looking to host a party at a big restaurant or enjoy a quiet meal at the local cantina.

Speed Reading by John Kelley
Review
"Speed Reading: In 24 Hours: Learn to Read Faster, Think Faster and Remember What You Read" is a recently-published Kindle Ebook by John Kelley about the requisite skills, practice, and applications of speed reading.
Kelley's book is designed to benefit high school, college, and adult students who can apply his techniques to their schoolwork and in their professional careers to gain a competitive edge.
The book follows Kelley's five basic steps, beginning with "isolating the trouble" using practice tests that assess rate, comprehension, page response, fast thinking, and vocabulary. Readers are encouraged to calculate their individual scores and to chart their progress in their Profiles.
Next, readers learn the basic techniques of speed reading, such as analyzing paragraph structures, as well as more advanced abilities, such as speed reading while maintaining a high comprehension level.
All the while, there are exercises devoted to practicing these new frameworks and an answer key to "verify your success."
Lastly, Kelley encourages his readers to apply his techniques to all reading material, and he acknowledges that speed reading is a skill that can be honed throughout one's life.
The book is most interesting in its broad approach to cultivating one's speed reading ability by teaching multiple components of the task.
Overwhelmingly, "Speed Reading: In 24 Hours: Learn to Read Faster, Think Faster and Remember What You Read" is a successful "how-to" manual for learning and improving upon one's speed reading.
