Take a journey with Force Recon Marine and Pro MMA Champion Chad Robichaux as he shares glimpses into the life of special operations, professional fighting, and deep insight into this world's spiritual battles. Chad shares successes and failures experienced in Afghanistan, the MMA cage, and his biggest fights: struggling with PTSD, a near divorce, and almost becoming another veteran suicide statistic.

Discover that same advantage for the battles you face, and unlock the warrior spirit sewn in your heart by God himself.

In 1974, Donohue took a year off from driving at the height of his racing career and wrote an account of his journey from amateur to Indy 500 winner.

The Unfair Advantage: Sell with NLP! is a book for people who want new skills to influence others, who know that all selling is personal, and who see the need to sell themselves more effectively. It is for people who want to have an advantage in everything that they say, write and do. It is for YOU if you want to find an edge--an advantage--in your work life. Much of The Unfair Advantage: Sell with NLP! is based on NLP (neurolinguistic programming) skills. But NLP is much more and much less than what is seen in this book. The techniques and skills here have been fine-tuned by the author for the last 30 years for only one purpose: to help sales and marketing professionals be more effective and successful. This book will teach you how to sell YOU, understand your prospects, and lead the sales process. The Revised Edition contains two new chapters that were not included in the 2000 edition (Mindsets or Metaprogams and Handling Objections). That is the only major change in the Revised Edition other than format and pricing.

"Life's not fair!" You've heard it a million times--and probably said it yourself. But what if your greatest difficulties were steppingstones to a greater destiny? What if seasons of unbearable pain turned out to be pathways to unbelievable purpose? In The Unfair Advantage, pastor Aaron Burke takes a closer look at the seven unfair seasons Joseph endures in the book of Genesis and reveals how Joseph's struggles are not unlike the battles readers face today. Combining biblical truths with Pastor Aaron's insights from his years of walking with people through their biggest challenges, this book offers a message of hope and renewed strength for anyone who has battled seasons of feeling discouraged, rejected, undervalued, tempted, unfairly punished, deprived, or forgotten. The surprising reality revealed by the story of Joseph is that unfair moments and seasons of difficulty--if handled wisely--can actually be used by God for our advantage. Readers will be comforted and inspired as they encounter in a new way the dramatic story of Joseph's trials and ultimate triumph. Along the way, they'll learn how to transform adversity into advantage, endure even the most challenging moments through courage and hope rooted in faith, become aware of God's presence, peace, and promise in the midst of hardship. In The Unfair Advantage, readers who are walking through a season that seems unfair will be reminded of God's ultimate gift of favor. While their situation may seem hopeless now, they can trust that God is forging something beautiful out of the brokenness, putting purpose to their pain, righting every wrong, and building a destiny better than their greatest dreams.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I have been asked how a startup becomes so successful. I have noticed that founders and investors around the world are running into the same issues and asking me the same questions. Everyone is working hard, but some startups are succeeding while others are failing. #2 The media constantly portrays the startup world as a meritocracy, where those who deserve it succeed. But the truth is that there are still problems, barriers, and un-level playing fields in the startup world. #3 The focus of this book is not the business idea or product, but you, the founder, entrepreneur behind the business. It applies to any project you plan to lead. The simple reason is that it all starts with you. Startups at the early stage have nothing to show but you, the founder, who sets it up for success. #4 The fact that we mention investors and venture capitalists is not to suggest that every founder should be looking to raise money from them. Some businesses are better bootstrapped without investors, and kept lean. But whether or not you need to raise funding depends on your unfair advantages.
