Mobile Vending: How to Run a Traveling Food or Merchandise Concession
Summary
Mobile vending is one of the easiest, least risky, and least expensive home based businesses to start up. And it’s fun! It is quite different, however, from other conventional businesses. Festival vendors and food truck operators need specialized techniques to succeed. There are hurtles you may not have anticipated that can kill your new enterprise before you finish one season. With over a decade in the business, Jarvis met and learned from hundreds of traveling concessionaires. Many of them said they wished they’d had a guide when they started their home-based businesses. That's why this book was written - to help others avoid costly goofs many new vendors make. The techniques in this audiobook will smoothly propel you to a successful food truck or merchandise vending operation. Whether you're just in the thinking-about-it stage or already have a booth up and running, you'll find loads of info to make your small business thrive. It's all covered: designing a stand, dealing with government agencies, finding events, choosing products to sell, how to draw customers, and how to keep records. Both merchandise and food vending are covered in detail. What this audiobook does not cover is finance.

This audiobook is specific to the fair and festival vending industry, and it's packed with useful tips.

Living with Less Neurons
Summary
Jarvis was a typical, middle-aged man in the early summer of 2019. He didn't know what a transient ischemic attack (TIA) was until he had six of them in one evening. The next day, Jarvis walked into an emergency room on his own power to get checked out. The TIAs had been scary, but he figured they were just a warning that he needed to take better care of himself. Six days later, he went home from the hospital in an ambulance. He'd lost the use of his left arm and leg. Jarvis had suffered a stroke - after going to the hospital. Brain damage is like a plane crash; it’s a terrifying event that we hope never happens to us. If we survive, it's a miracle and a chance to reevaluate our future. Living with Less Neurons tells one person’s story of embracing life again after a catastrophic setback. Note to grammarians: Yes, the author realizes a more grammatically correct title would be Living with Fewer Neurons, but that doesn't roll off the tongue or fit on a book cover as well.
