Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - What do you do when your career aspiration is snatched away just as it's about to be fulfilled What happens when the dream you've pursued since childhood crashes and burns, leaving you broke at age 30 You better have a damn good Plan B in place. Jack Oujo spent eight years in the minor leagues pursuing the dream of becoming a major league umpire. This book takes you on his journey, from the decision to become an umpire, through the endless and often cramped travels, low pay, and interactions with players, managers and supervisory personnel, to his abrupt and callous release-by mail, no less.What does someone do when their career vision becomes a nightmare For Jack, this was no time for despondency. He was 30 years old, broke, and married with his first child on the way. He surmounted his disappointment and reinvented himself through a process of reeducation, mentorship, then starting a business on a bootstrap and ultimately growing it into a multi-million-dollar operation a decade later. Jack Oujo CPA/PFS, CFP(R), MS, is the founder of Oujo Wealth Strategies, one of the nation's largest tax-focused wealth management firms. Jack's journey to the top of his profession began, surprisingly enough, with an eight-year stint as a professional baseball umpire. He enjoyed numerous promotions, ultimately reaching the AAA level and winning the Joe Ryan Award as the highest-rated umpiring prospect in the minor leagues in 1985. Choosing umpires is subjective, however, and Jack was denied his ambition of becoming a major league umpire.Undeterred, Jack used the setback as motivation for a successful business career. He had nurtured a Plan B while umpiring by working as an accountant in New York during the off seasons. This helped him make a seamless transition into the financial services industry, where he earned the Avantax Top Producer Award for 25 consecutive years and has been the brokerage's leading advisor for the majority of the past decade.Jack attended Old Bridge High School and was inducted into their Wall of Fame in 2013. He graduated from Middlesex County College with an associate degree in accounting, Seton Hall University with a bachelor's degree in accounting, and he went on to earn a master's degree in taxation from Fairleigh Dickinson University.His community service includes running a free youth umpire clinic every February for the last twenty years. Jack was also president of the NJ/NY Chapter of the College Baseball Umpires Association (CBUA) and the freshman baseball coach at St. Rose High School in Belmar, NJ, for several years.Jack maintained a connection to baseball, playing in the United States Over 30 Baseball League and Men's Senior Baseball League (MSBL) for 19 years, playing in multiple all-star games.After retiring from baseball, Jack acquired an addiction to golf and is an active member of the Coral Ridge Country Club in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and the Spring Lake Golf Club in Spring Lake, New Jersey.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - What does it mean to invest like an aardvark Like the author of this book, the aardvark is big, slow and a bit ugly. He's not a big game hunter. He's not hunting for high-flying stocks the pundits love talking about on financial news shows. Instead, the aardvark eats the easily foraged food, like ants. What ants are to the aardvark, dividends are to his investment process. They are the easily foraged returns. The aardvark hunts at night, alone and unafraid. He's contrarian by nature and has his own unique phylum. There's no other animal quite like him. He has giant ears, which he keeps raised to be mindful of what might go wrong while he is foraging for dividends. He has big sharp claws, ideal for digging deep to uncover value. He works well into the night and is diligent in his search, seeking his own path, not following the herd on Wall Street.

But her family, determined to keep young Elizabeth away from him, firmly shut their door against him.Fourteen-year-old Aaron is too naïve to realize the reason is that Elizabeth and her family are light-skinned and he is not, until one day Elizabeth's brother and a group of his light-skinned friends gleefully jeer him with the chant: 'If you're white, you're alright, If you're brown, stick around, If you're black, stay back!'Stung, he soon realizes that this is his first step into the real world where black-on-black racism, based on skin color alone, will mirror every word of the jeering chant. Aaron vows he will never 'stay back' merely because of the color of his skin. As he matures, and despite Elizabeth's family's 'No,' - there is a part of 'No' that he will never understand as he continues to pursue her.But during his efforts to establish his personhood and worth in the face of white and black racism, Elizabeth gives herself to a white man.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This is an updated version as of 11/2025As much a personal memoir as it is a survivor's guide, this work embraces and infuses an informed, and at times humorous, geography of culture, inherent dangers and disasters-you-can-count-on that define Ms. Love's beloved Florida. Debunking at least some of the mythology that permeates the pursuit of happiness, or at least retirement here, she takes her task seriously and considers this work a public service as well as a love letter to her native state. This work was created specifically to educate and protect both residents and visitors from the physical and social realities that can, and just might, show up with time spent in the Sunshine State.Kimball Love, a 7th generation Floridian, has devoted the vast majority of her working life to public service. Her diverse career includes stints at the National Geographic Society, Florida-based local, regional and state agencies and as an independent consultant. Successful projects range from support for K-12 geographic education in several Southern states to managing disaster recovery and economic development programs to managing projects for the restoration of the Loxahatchee River and Indian River Lagoon.She served as Associate Producer on the award-winning 'Kissimmee Basin: the Northern Everglades' public television documentary and authored the Florida state-sponsored Cooperative Conservation Blueprint for Regional Conservation Connectivity. The Blueprint provided the platform for the Florida Wildlife Corridor project and the newly-authorized Everglades to Gulf Conservation Area that covers more than a 4 million-acre expanse from Naples to Lakeland. Most recently Ms. Love authored a beautifully illustrated children's book, The Children Were With Me In The Woods Today, that is dedicated to encouraging the love of our natural world in children of all ages.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The title, Time Ahead, refers to the critical importance of time in every investment decision. Despite the fact that it is life's most precious asset, it is frequently overlooked by investors. Time Ahead is a homonym that refers to two of the most important facets of capitalism: having a lead or advantage and a future perspective. The book was written in four distinct but interrelated sections. Sections One and Two focus on finance and investing. Section Three is all about people, good and bad. The final Section is about looking ahead to what I believe is an exciting and opportunistic future.In Section One, you will learn when to take risks. Successful investors win through preparation, readiness and the ability to identify opportunities while avoiding blunders. These are common traits among the best and brightest in any field.Section Two details the fundamentals of investing, the basics that you must get right if you are to succeed. I see the investing public in one of two ways: passive investors content to accept average returns, believing they are avoiding risk, and investors that expect to achieve more, enjoy greater prosperity and make an impact with their money. The element of time is again vital because every investment decision is magnified over time. Simply making consistently sound small decisions has a huge financial impact that becomes increasingly more meaningful over time, thanks to how compound interest works. The opposite is also true. The compounded effect of making even small mistakes or missing opportunities is magnified over an extended period. This is especially true in bear markets.The third section covers a combination of humorous and deadly serious subjects. Lemmings refer to the impressionable financial naifs that fall prey to the liars and scammers. Wall Street pigs feast on these unsuspecting innocents.The Liars are a small but toxic group of financial advisors that prey on their clients, ranging from brokerage pigs who misrepresent investment performance or charge outlandish fees to the outright fraudsters that operate phone, sports betting, pump and dump and other scams.The Loopholes are the legal maneuvers the wealthy take advantage of to maintain and grow their wealth and leave a memorable legacy. The Free Lunches are the sophisticated strategies they use, such as bond ladders and arbitrage. Section Four, as the title implies, is about a bullish future. As an investor, you must accurately assess what the future is going to look like, specifically how it's going to look different than today. Using that appraisal, you must avoid investments that are going to be quantifiably disadvantaged by change.
