Misleading book from an "expert" who cheats people.......2007-07-29

I didn't like this book because it rehashes a lot of the same stuff in his first book, thus the materials is not very "new". "Ted Tesser's New Book" is a case of the Emperor's New Clothes. The author runs a supposedly reputable business in Florida trying to "save traders money". I followed the tax advice in the book on setting up corporate entities and ended up caught between a rock and a hard place, because the book did not include critically important details (perhaps intentionally?). When I needed more specific details, the authors' company tried to force me to pay $350/hour charged to a credit immediately over the phone for advice if my CPA was standing there to help me make sense of it all. The phone call was already costing me $100/hour. At that point I knew I was dealing with a sheister. I would not recommend this book or getting involved with the Waterside Financial to anyone. The New Trader's Tax Solution: Money-Saving Strategies for the Serious Investor, 2nd Edition, Updated

Good beginner book.......2005-08-13

The book is really good. The reason why I gave it only 3 stars is that it doesn't cover the complex stuff I am looking for. And it mostly target to small trader. This book will do you little good if you able to make over million dollars a year from the market. The book does not mention much about asset protection. As with any trader, the only asset is their cash, and I believe the author should put more work into this section if a new version is on the way.

Customer Reviews:

The tittle is somewhat misleading.......2003-12-22

[...] After reading the book, (BTW, I bought it nearly one year ago) I realized it doesn't provide detailed solutions that might help us do-it-yourself folks to prepare tax returns, if, for instance, you're a Security trader.
The book, however, is a very good start where one may find a quite complete education on tax and estate planning, and where one may find further info. It provides many real life court cases, involving tax filings, with comments. [...] this is not a "how-to" book. For instance, it doesn't tell me how to complete Form 3115 line by line, rather it explains the purpose of the Form and the key points one must know about the Form.
The number of issues covered in the book may be more than what one needs to know. All in all, it is a very good text for those who care to know more about their money and taxes, and the nasty surprises that IRS has in store for the unprepared.

To address some of the questions that the reader might have:

* This course is very easy to digest but will take about 4-5 hours of your time.
* It covers a great deal of many different subjects related to concession sales.
* Previous experience in this field is not necessary.
* The Dvd's give several good menu suggestions next to full instructions on preparing a variety of barbecue meals.
* Mr. Robertson shows a lot of experience and enthusiasm in his field.
* There is an Index of links as well as recipes towards the end of the book.

The author did an excellent job at describing ways how to get started in your own concession vending business. I have been operating a ball game concessions stand for over 8 years, next to my day job as a teacher and I have become quite experienced in this field. I know that there is a lot of money to be made with food sales. At sports events, the food and drinks are an essential part of the whole fun, no matter how pricey they are. The only drawbacks are the ever increasing concession fees to set up at the games. This is yet another reason, why owning a business as an independent operator makes a lot of sense.

After reviewing this course, I was able to learn a great deal more about concession sales. If you are thinking about starting out in this field, I can highly recommend it!

fun and informative!.......2007-02-16

I originally bought this for my husband and ended up watching the DVD's with him. They are really packed with a lot of information and with valuable tips from a real professional.

Now BBQ became our first choice of foods to sell. The recipes in the film are truly wonderful and turned out well the first time we tried them. We also will focus on Tex-Mex foods that are very popular in our area.

The book gave us lots of good ideas that we will use in our own business. The author is right: cooking for fun is one thing- cooking for money is another! It was good to watch someone else do it first. Probably saved me from making lots of mistakes!

Overall, I am extremely happy with this purchase and I am glad I found it!

An excellent purchase.......2006-12-13

This was by far the best purchase I made on amazon this year. I enjoyed watching the DVD's that covered far more than I expected.

I have always wanted to have my own restaurant, but never have been able to get it together. The trailer food business is more my thing, as I can leave it parked in my backyard when I don't want to sell. I had trouble finding information on the subject of mobile food vending and I wish I would have seen this course earlier. It has taught me a lot about this business. The film showed interesting background info and a lot of food being prepared for resale. The ribs looked delicious and I now always cook my ribs this way. Watching the procedure is like being there and much better than just reading about it...

The book is easy to follow and covers pretty much everything I needed to know. I am not much of a chef, but people were all impressed by the food I prepared the way it is described in the book. I fed over 300 people in one day by myself at our block party and made good money doing it. This guide was very helpful to me in my rural area. It also made me feel like I can actually put a business like this together in my spare time.

Bring on the Rain.......2007-03-30

Excellent Book! I highly recomend it to all financial planners who would like to increase their access to the high net worth crowd.

A must for all serious advisors.......2007-03-20

This book cuts through all the bs! If you are serious about your business and are tired of all the gimicky marketing ideas we constantly hear about, then this book is for you. Matt Oechsli concisely puts together a great road map to take you where you want to go. He definitely has his pulse on what the High Net Worth are looking for (and more importantly...what they are NOT looking for). This was a real eye openner for me.

20-Year FInancial Services Veteran's Take: Great Investment.......2007-03-04

I've been in Financial Services for 20+ years, and I'm still interested in increasing my business each year. As you might imagine, when one's been in the industry this long, they see every imaginable book, pitch, idea, etc. regarding how to bring in affluent clients - and I have.

This is the best book written on the subject - period.

I'll give you a few reasons why. First of all, it gets right to the main point: bringing in 10+ affluent clients ($1 million of investable assets) each year. For most in the industry, this is a more-than-acceptable goal.

Second, it provides detailed, sensible and logical ideas to achieve that end. The book goes into the psychological issues that one must address to garner this level of success, and it also details the actions and regular activities that must be undertaken on a day-to-day basis.

I will certainly be re-reading this book a second time, this time with hilighter in hand. The book will then remain in my office for quick, easy reference.

I've known of Matt Oechsli for many years because he's a regular contributor to a trade publication that those of us in the industry receive. Now, for the first time, I've stepped beyond his monthly articles to see how really good he is.

Worth every penny, this book will yield a fabulous R.O.I for those who follow its tenets. Strongly recommended.

Armed with extensive research and his own professional experience, Richard Ferri dismantles the illusion that stockbrokers, financial planners, and other Wall Street "experts" offer superior investment advice.

Ferri further explains how index funds and other low cost, low tax investments lead to greater wealth at retirement.

Serious Money is a thoughtful and thorough guidebook that cuts through the clutter and provides genuinely useful advice. It will save you time, money, and headaches.

Excellent resource, very practical,.......2007-08-04

This book is an invaluable resource for any homeowner who wants to have work done on their home. Though designed principally to allow a homeowner to be their own general contractor, it is equally useful for anyone who hires a contractor. The book is very practical. I found tips on every page, though we have done several remodels of our own. If we had this book before our remodels we probably would have saved thousands of dollars, and reduced the stress of doing the remodels. The author's background in cost estimating is evident in this book and provides a resource for determining comparing bids from contractors to industry standards. I am going to be purchasing another one-my daughter's husband saw it and wanted mine. Before you remodel you should buy this book!

I have read two other "How to build your own home" books and The Pat Fay Method is by far the most informative.

Thank you Nick! If you want to be successful as a broker, it doesn't matter if you know a lot about the markets, what matters is your capability of gathering assets. Gather,gather and gather assets is what Nick teaches you. Small things like talking over the phone and how to get appointments can really make a diference. Nick as a computer illiterate really knows the importance of selling mutual funds because of all the advantages they have. Mutual funds aren't a thing of the future, they are a thing of today. But again, you don't gaing much if you don't know how to market a product. That's what Nick teaches you.

Book Description

Why of all the hundreds of fundraising books available did AmeriCorps Vista, with offices throughout the U.S., single out The Relentlessly Practical Guide to Fundraising as the premier book on the subject and provide a copy to thousands of its staff?

Read David Lansdowne's acclaimed work and you'll quickly understand why.

No other writer in the field is as succinct, yet comprehensive. Nor do others have Lansdowne's trademark gift of extracting the essence of a technique and illuminating it in unfailingly clear prose.

Lansdowne plumbs every major aspect of fundraising: from annual campaigns to capital campaigns, from major gifts to Internet fundraising, from planned giving to direct mail to prospect research.

Each chapter is delivered with heat-seeking precision. For example, do you want to know how to establish a gift club for donors? Turn to that chapter and chances are you'll learn more in the nine pages than you would from reading an entire book on the subject.

The same goes for attracting corporate support. Yes, you could spend hours boning up on the topic. But there's no need, as Lansdowne discusses everything you should know in a mere 11 pages.

There are other standout chapters that lift this book above others.

• "The 16 Best Pieces of Fundraising Advice" may be the best rendering of its kind put to pen. • "Fundraising's 20 Biggest Mistakes" is a masterful discussion that alerts you to each and every red flag. • "Fundraising Myths" explores more than a dozen pernicious myths that many still labor under. • And, "What Every Board Member Must Know to Succeed," should be required reading for any trustee serving a gift-supported organization.

Here's `real world' guidance you can put into practice literally today.

No matter what subject he's talking about - and he covers everything here that I need - Lansdowne writes in such a way that I understand immediately what he's talking about. I had read his book, Fund Raising Realities, and loved it. This one is equal to that classic.
