Who Are You? by Russell Wetherington ISBN: 9781575500706


When the world lost Zig Ziglar, we lost a great inspirational character. His spirit sort of lives on in works like Who Are You? by Russell Wetherington.

In this book, Wetherington quotes multiple scriptures, top inspirational leaders, and others to guide his readers on a 31 day journey to bettering themselves.

Readers are instructed to read one chapter per day for a month.  There are a total of 31 chapters. Readers will want to read one extra chapter on one day during months with only 30 days. February provides multiple opportunities during the month to double up on readings.

This book is designed to take readers through the 31 chapters of Proverbs along the way.  Each month readers are encouraged to re-read the book with the belief that they will gain some new insight on each reading.

Along the way, readers will read stories they have heard before and some very new ones.  They will read stories of inspiration and hope.

Who Are You? is very well-written and very uplifting.  We give it all five stars.

Be More Strategic in Business: How to Win Through Stronger Leadership and Smarter Decisions by Diana Thomas and Stacey Boyle ISBN: 978-1-63353-784-2



You are told to “Be more strategic” at work.  Your first thought might be, “What does that even mean?” If that is true, you aren’t alone.

In the book Be More Strategic in Business: How to Win Through Stronger Leadership and Smarter Decisions by Diana Thomas and Stacey Boyle, readers are told what that means and, better yet, why this is important.

The book is well-written, but sometimes it has the feel of one of those “Management Programs Du’ Jour.”  Don’t give up though. The message progresses well and readers are given some specific steps they can take to take their organization to a higher level.


We give Be More Strategic in Business all five stars and think this would make a great gift for anyone in an executive position.

YouTube Traffic Acquisition (Beginner's Training): How to get website visitors for affiliates,bloggers & information marketers via video marketing by Red Michaels ASIN: B01AYT6CBM


This book is short.  In fact, it will probably take you less than 15 minutes to read it.  That is assuming you will be interrupted while you are reading. Don’t let its brevity fool you.



Any of us who are trying to build a YouTube channel, and fighting with YouTube/Google all the way, really need to know what we can do to put our best foot forward.

Let’s face it, what was once the best way to make money on the internet, YouTube, has now become very greedy and is making it more and more difficult to make it.

YouTube Traffic Acquisition gives readers the basics of what to do and how to do it.  Reading this book won’t make you a world-famous YouTuber. But, just like eating chicken soup when you feel ill, it can’t hurt and it just might help.

Crochet Animal Rugs by Ira Rott ISBN: 978-1-4463-0700-7




The word that comes to mind when I pick up
Crochet Animal Rugs by Ira Rott is “Cute”.

Who couldn’t fall in love with the cute elephants?  All the projects are cute and the instructions for each appear to be easy to follow and straight forward.

Anyone who has young children they want to crochet for will appreciate this book.  Just don’t leave it where the kids can see it because they will want you to crochet each one in the book before you get a chance to catch your breath from the last one.

The Employee Millionaire - Personal Workbook: How to Use Your Day Job to Become a Millionaire with Rental Properties by H J Chammas ASIN: B07J3DXB7D



There are so many books out there on “The Only One Way to Invest” that it will make your head spin.  Almost all of the books we read on investing start out by telling you what is wrong with all other forms of investing and why theirs is the one and only way to invest your money to earn an income.


The Employee Millionaire - Personal Workbook: How to Use Your Day Job to Become a Millionaire with Rental Properties by H J Chammas  is different.  He does give a little comparison and contrast between investing in rental property and investing in stocks and bonds.  In this case, he actually gives the pros and cons for both.

Nowhere in the book does Mr. Chammas tell his readers it is going to be easy.  He does not tell you that checks will pour in while you sip on umbrella drinks.

This book tells you how to get started on a fairly moderate income and then roll it into owning and renting out multiple properties.  

He takes his readers through the whole enchilada.  He tells readers about the process of getting pre-approval for a loan and then finding properties and making an offer.

He even tells his readers what they need to take to the closing on a sale of property.  He attempts to make this “white-knuckle” event much less stressful.

Readers are given links to online forms that help with the whole process from start to finish.  He even takes his readers through getting their budget in line before they start.


We truly believe The Employee Millionaire is a must read for anyone attempting to find a way to add to their income in the least stressful way. This book will make a great gift for that would-be investor on your gift giving list.  We give it all five stars.
