Pun intended. Everyone needs to read this book!" -JON GORDONAward-winning author of The Energy Bus and The Power of Positive Leadership "Clint Hurdle has a way of saying things that stick.

I hope this book helps you as much as Clint has helped me throughout the years." -ANDREW McCUTCHEN MLB All-Star, 2013 National League MVP

"The first thing you need to know about selling is this: Selling is helping. But before I tell you more about that, let me tell you how I got here. When I was little-and no, I'm not telling you my whole story or what year I was born-but when I was just five freaking years old, I thought I could change the world. I didn't really know what "changing the world" meant, by the way."-- Provided by publisher.

You read Two Week's Notice and Don't Keep Your Day Job...you ditched the briefcase and now you're ready to nurture (and legally secure) your online business. You need this practical guide from Sam Vander Wielen, the force behind Sam Vander Wielen LLC and host of the On Your Terms podcast. Sam Vander Wielen started her career as a lawyer. It made her miserable. So she pivoted from barrister to food blogger...but, that didn't work out either. The blogger became a health coach, and while that allowed her to finally quit the law firm, it turned out to be an unsustainable business. Dedicated to online entrepreneurship and the freedom it allowed her to live life in her own way, Vander Wielen leaned into her existing skill set and created Sam Vander Wielen LLC, creating DIY legal templates for new online business owners who are ready to legally protect their livelihoods. When I Start My Business I'll Be Happy does so much more than offer new entrepreneurs a way to establish the legal foundations of their businesses. Vander Wielen has developed a necessary resource for those who are new to doing business online, or who are ready to take their existing business to the next level. Having walked the entrepreneurial path many times before--and now that it's led to a 7-figure income-- Vander Wielen presents practical, easy-to-implement business ideas and advice that covers all the ages and stages of entrepreneurship, such as:- how to anticipate (or avoid) the common early entrepreneurship pitfalls- how to juggle personal life with a business that is often dependent on what's happening in one's life- how to find and build on your unique gifts, and, once your business is established- how to keep growing it--without losing yourself in the processThe most important lesson is that your business won't fix your life, much in the same way that the perfect job won't make you completely happy. Entrepreneurship can be deeply rewarding, but not at the cost of your own self-care and well-being. When I Start My Business I'll Be Happy teaches readers that even when life doesn't go perfectly smoothly as a business owner, you can still build and grow your own business. In fact, it can make your business even stronger.

PRAISE FOR MARKETS AND MOMENTUM "In recent years, Jim Dalton has been one of the premier educators in the trading world. His grounding in Market Profile has helped traders think about opportunities multidimensionally, integrating price, time, and volume. In Markets and Momentum, Jim teams up with Rob Dalton to integrate the trading of market psychology with the psychology of trading. Developing and experienced traders alike will find practical wisdom and actionable information in this readable and insightful guide." -BRETT STEENBARGER, PHD, Professor, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, SUNY Upstate Medical University; Trading Psychologist and Author "Jim Dalton has imparted a great deal of useful information in this book. The most important aspect concerns delving into your own psychological approach to why you're winning or losing. This is an extremely insightful and important concept. Keeping a journal, letting your profits run, honestly assessing your performance are all things that a successful trader needs to do. Even experienced traders should be able to learn something from this book." -LAWRENCE G. McMILLAN, Author, Options as a Strategic Investment "Trading is a pursuit that is simple but far from easy. The mechanics are not difficult to learn, but success in the markets is often elusive until one can control their emotions, overcome cognitive dissonance, and act decisively on nuances that most others will miss. As Dalton states in his new book, it is a constant evolution towards a point 'where the subtleties of intuition dance harmoniously with the complexities of experience.' Being in the trader education space for almost 20 years now, I have rare insight into what newer traders struggle with most. Many are simply misunderstanding the importance of context, the difference between price and value, and how to make decisions according to market generated information (MGI) as opposed to news, bias, or opinion. These are the principles at the core of Markets and Momentum and the starting point for true market understanding that can lead to the consistency you seek." -PETER REZNICEK, shadowtrader.net "I wanted to say thank you-I wouldn't be where I am today without your knowledge, experience, and well-crafted e-courses. Your education has not only helped change my life, but also impacted my family's future. Instead of being buried in debt, we've had the freedom to live more fully and even give back. You've made a difference not only in my life but in the lives of many others as well." -PAUL THOMAS, Independent Trader
