This book is the exact steps and processes that I took after leaving a failing business to become a property entrepreneur and investor. I did this with very little of my own money, as I didn't have much and after a few short years I am now a landlord of multiple properties, have a successful property sourcing business, and am financially free. It's not always been this good and this book tells you exactly how I turned my business life around to become a much more financially stable and knowledgeable entrepreneur.

Wisdom of the Masters of the Far East
Summary
This is an exact facsimile of the 1936 publication by the Royal Order of Tibet, complied by UFO contactee George Adamski (prior to his initial "contact"). It is a series of questions and answers in the traditional Eastern spiritual teaching style, such as: Have you lived before? What is science? What is love? What is intuition? Do the gifts of God meet the needs of man? In this audiobook, Adamski is interested only in revealing the mysteries so they can be used practically in the present field of life, where man may understand his fellow man by understanding the laws that rule all creatures - thereby awakening from the "dream" to the reality that leads to mastery.
