DOWNLOAD EBOOKThere has never been as much controversy in Masonry as that generated by the writings, rituals and symbols of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry and its members. The majority of all Masonic conspiracy theories center upon the arcane symbolism of the Rite. In recent years study guides have become available, but they lack an in-depth and personalized discussion of our ancient mystical tradition. A man might read about the color of our hats, but it is unlikely he would be faced with a spiritual discussion of the colors as they relate to the Craft. The time has come for such a book. The time has come for this book. Kyle Ferlemann provides us with an in-depth, easy to read and understand text book for the Scottish Rite. It is, "The Bridge Builders Guide."

DOWNLOAD EBOOKConstruction industry business coach, speaker, and author, Shawn Van Dyke, has taken the core concepts of Mike Michalowicz's Profit First and customized them to address the specific needs of the construction industry. Profit First for Contractors addresses the major struggles contractors face and provides clear and actionable guidance on how to overcome them. Shawn shows contractors how to go from simply getting by to becoming permanently profitable. This book is for every construction business owner who dreams of prosperity. Using Van Dyke's Profit First for Contractors system, readers will learn how to break out of the "craftsman cycle" - the seemingly never-ending loop of urgent tasks and responsibilities that keep contractors from gaining traction toward their important goals. He guides construction business owners how to understand their financial statements and how to use them to determine the markup and margin that lead to profits. You will also learn hot to develop solid rules of thumb for the operation of your construction businesses, and how to implement an effective cash management plan that simplifies accounting and leverages normal human behavior. Using real-life stories from actual construction business owners, step-by-step advice, and his conversational twang, Van Dyke puts permanent profitability within reach of every construction business owner.
