We make on average 5 lbs. a week and carry it to work as the best snack. Over time I have cut as much sodium as possible and utilize jalapenos as the base, for the punch we like in our jerky. My wife used this chicken jerky with other fresh vegetables when she began her diet this year. It helped her stay on track with other healthy items and lose the weight she desired. When cooked correctly this will not be the gooey jerky found in mass marketed product. This jerky is crispy, low on sodium and avoids chemical cures. Try it, we think you'll be pleased.

EQ - this is the common abbreviation for 'Emotional Intelligence'. EQ is a personal skill, and not to be confused with IQ or your so-called Intelligence Quotient. EQ is "measured" in a much different way, as we will see in these pages. Although a case can be made that both IQ and EQ are subjective, most of us agree that IQ ends up as a number about someone's intelligence, whereas EQ ends up as an overall feeling and connection we have with an individual. As EQ becomes better appreciated, large corporations are looking more frequently and openly for high EQ individuals, whatever their IQ! That is because people with strong EQs perform better - in terms of pure efficiency and effectiveness, and in human interactive terms. So what is this thing we call EQ? To some degree, we all have EQ - some of us naturally have more than others. Any individual can consciously develop more of it. How we see the world, react to it, and behave in it with other people is emotion-based. In a nutshell, "having a high EQ" or "a good EQ" means that you are someone who understands what makes a human being tick, from an emotional and reactive standpoint. You are an individual who understands that we all see the world through eyeglasses clouded by feelings and emotions. You are able and willing, as a high EQ person, to adapt your own feelings and reactions to harmonize with those of others, or to position the situation for a better outcome for everyone involved. Whew! Sounds complicated. But again, rest assured that we all have some degree of EQ - we are born with it! We are all natural observers; we can all position ourselves to create better outcomes in situations that might otherwise go sour. The catch is that we don't all have a full awareness of our EQ and how to use it effectively in all our interactions.

Learn Exactly Master on How To start an online Business Selling Other People's Products to Make Passive Income Affiliate marketing is a type of marketing in which an organization rewards its affiliates for bringing in customers or visitors through the affiliates' marketing efforts conducted independently of the organization itself. Most businesses in the world want to grow and increase their revenues by getting more customers. There are several ways how they can accomplish this. The first way is to find customers willing to pay for the products or services that these businesses are selling. They can spend a fortune on advertising, or they can get someone else to get customers for them. Let's say a business is willing to pay $40 for every sale. This means that it can either spend money on marketing or pay it to its affiliates via commissions. Affiliate marketing can be one of the quickest ways to make money on the Internet. To get started with affiliate marketing, you do not need a website, a list of customers or a product. You can simply get an affiliate link, start promoting it and start making cash immediately. Most of the biggest merchants on the Internet, including Amazon, do have affiliate programs. This means that using affiliate marketing you can participate in the sales of some of the hottest products on the Internet even though it is someone else who has created those products. Affiliate marketing is also a great way to get started with marketing on the Internet. A lot of people don't try selling something online because they erroneously believe that they need to create a product or a service first. However, this is simply not true. You do not have to create anything. You can simply do some research, find out what sells well and start selling and advertising it, too. This way you do not have to spend countless hours creating or sourcing products but can start making money and learning Internet marketing by doing very quickly. Finally, affiliate marketing is a great way to add streams of income to already existing businesses. If you have a business, the fact that your customers are buying from you means that they trust you and that they value what you have. You have a relationship with your customers that you can expand using affiliate marketing, recommend products or services and make money in the meantime. For example, if you sell information products to a certain business niche about becoming more successful by making marketing measurable, you can become an affiliate and start selling software that helps your clients accomplish their goals. You could also sell them products and services that help them run their businesses. If you also teach personal productivity, you could be selling vitamins and supplements. The list of the things that you could do is virtually unlimited. One of the biggest misconceptions about affiliate marketing is that it doesn't take any work. Affiliate business model makes perfect sense to businesses that want to recruit affiliates to sell their products or services. Such businesses don't have to invest in advertising or worry about spending advertising dollars ineffectively. All the risk in this business model falls on the shoulders of the affiliates.

Discover The Ultimate Step-By-Step Beginners Guide to Sell on eBay and Build a Successful Business Empire From Scratch and Live The Life Of Your Dreams Today! Back in the late 90s, at the beginning of the dot com bubble, a man named Pierre Omidyar founded an online platform called AuctionWeb. Back then it was kind of an online fair for collectors who bought and sold various items online via bidding and auction. But within a decade, ActionWeb transformed itself, rebranded as eBay and become the Giant multi-billion dollar e-commerce site where literally anyone, from 20-year-old college kid to 40-year-old mums can sell any kinds of goods online. eBay soon became THE platform for professional online retailers worldwide spanning its operations in more than 30 countries. For the past two decades, millions of people are using eBay to earn some extra cash or to sell unused items which could be useful to others who are looking for it. There are people whose first introduction to eBay happened when they were clearing their room and found old vinyl LP records and when they used eBay to sell them, they found out it was worth more than $500! You would be amazed to know that how much an old He-man action figure is worth on eBay, or those Pokémon cards that you once used to collect but totally forgot about it. Some vintage collectors' items are worth $1000-$20000 now and if you own such rare items, thousands of dollars are just few mouse clicks away! But all of these are just the tip of a huge iceberg. This is what people do when they want to sell second-hand items online. But eBay can offer more than that. It is a platform to build your own empire of successful e-commerce. When huge internet enthusiast Pierre had the idea of eBay (the known myth is that his wife influenced him to come up with this), his goal was to fill the gap in the market, a gap between potential buyers and seller. He wanted to build a network so that both parties can communicate to each other freely and easily without any third party in between. So he built eBay (AuctionWeb) as a level playing field where similar minded people could come and share their interests and exchange products with cash. By the time Pierre came up with eBay, he was already a successful millionaire who sold his business to Microsoft and yet to have his 30th birthday! So if you are confident and passionate enough, you can also become a successful entrepreneur, a trusted online retailer whose annual earning is a six figure digit (why not seven?). This book will guide you through a step by step process on the methods of selling, from basics to pro. You will learn secrets from already established sellers, tips, and tricks for successful selling and much more which will help you to become a super-seller in the eBay universe.

Do you envy the business people who constantly talk about how they have all the time in the world to go on vacation, and that they can afford these luxurious vacations? Have you often wondered how they did it? If you ask them, you will most likely receive a vague answer that referred to some investments or passive income. But what is passive income?

Discover The Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Learn How to Invest in Commercial Real Estate and Build your Real Estate Empire. Then be able to Achieve Financial Freedom and Live The Life Of Your Dreams! Real estate has been in existence since people have decided that living in caves was no longer an option. However, most progress in real estate has probably happened in the last two century or so with the invention of the elevator. Elevators made it possible for real estate to include high-rise office buildings, multiple-floor residential apartment houses, and shopping malls. Investing in commercial real estate is very different from dealing with residential properties. Oftentimes commercial real estate deals require very little or even no capital. While commercial estate can be very risky, it can also be very safe because of a number of things you can do with commercial buildings that you can't do with residential dwellings. We will discuss all these differences and strategies later on in this book. Most people think that investing in commercial real estate is very similar to dealing with residential properties with the only differences being that that the money amounts are larger and contracts are longer. The reality is completely different. There are a lot of distinctions between commercial and residential real estate when it comes to legal, practical and operational aspects. Investing in commercial real estate is a great way to build wealth. The reason why commercial estate is a great vehicle for generating wealth can be explained in one word. This word is leverage. Leverage when applied to commercial real estate means that your returns from your commercial real estate investments can be much bigger than the time and effort you put into this business. Commercial properties are usually much more valuable than residential real estate such as apartments, condos or houses. This means that once you are able to apply strategies that we discuss later in this book, you will be able to acquire properties with very little money and witness the magical powers of leverage work wonders for you.

Discover How To Exactly Master on How To Connect, Influence, Attract, Analyze, and Read Anyone Using Non-Verbal Communication Think of all our best actors and actresses. What is it exactly that makes them "best"? They are masters of both voice and body language! They are masters of vocal communication and communicating via their entire body. With every new character they portray, their verbal and nonverbal communication via their body changes - often dramatically. There are other actors about whom we say, "There he goes, playing himself again." My guess is that we really mean his use of his voice and his body is static, immobile, and inflexible. He gives us the same character in every film he does. Because he gives us the only voice he knows and uses the only body language he knows - his own. Remember all those police procedural TV shows and films that you have seen. All those detective novels that you have read. The best detectives portrayed in them are masters at reading voice inflections, facial tics, and overall body language of the suspect. In real life, whole careers are made on an individual's ability to not only read the voice and the body language of the bad guy - but to be right about their interpretations. Interviewers, interrogators, and profilers have mastered the interpretation of nonverbal communication of others. This helps them catch out the liars or detect when someone is holding back information or perhaps protecting another person. And what about those public speakers who have you on the edge of your chair, your mouth hanging open or your eyes wide? Are you spellbound only from the words they are saying? Absolutely not! Their nonverbal communication is part of that whole package they are giving you. How they walk the stage. What they do with their hands and arms. How they bend or stretch their body or reach out. Their facial expressions as they speak. It's all a package deal to become what their public calls "a charismatic speaker." There is really no way around it: The most successful, influential individuals are masters not only of the spoken word but of body language. They use nonverbal skills of their own - but also a bang-on interpretation of yours - to get things done by persuading you to seek them out, hear them out, do things for or with them and buy their gizmos. They are influential because they give you what you need in the way your own body language says you need it. They get along with most everyone since they read you correctly and adapt to you (rather than demanding the reverse). Throughout this book, you will find sections entitled Do It. I will be giving you the opportunity to be that actor or that profiler or that charismatic spellbinder who is calling on his ability to read and understand as well as use body language.

A fast and furiously funny journey through our national memory. From self-delusions about size and stature to deceptions around the living links between empire, slavery, money and power. Mark Thomas is on a quest to remind us of the true and shared greatness of modern Britain.

Describes the best of the accepted project management techniques, taking the guesswork out of deciding which ones to apply at which stage. This is a practical guide to managing projects of all sizes, not just large scale ones. It also presents essential 'people' skills that are vital to making a project succeed.

Mark Thomas has been touring the country for months, getting audiences to come up with policies aimed at sorting out the country's political chaos and taking back the power for the people. Sick to death of bailing out bankers and subsidising MPs homes, the audience vote on the best policy of the night to be included in the brand new People's Manifesto.From the inspiring to the downright hilarious, you'll wonder why these fantastic ideas aren't part of the constitution already. For example:- All politicians will be forced to wear the names and logos of the companies sponsor that them or with whom they have financial links.- Anyone who supports ID cards is banned from having curtains. - All models have to be picked at random from the electoral register.- Anyone found guilty of homophobic hate crime has to serve their sentence in drag.- CEOs convicted of fraud will be made to dress as pirates in whatever job they get in the future.The People's Manifesto will outline 50 policies of the manifesto shouted out in bold type on a page to themselves with Mark's commentary opposite. Mark has even 'road tested' some of them - like hosting a party in an MP's second home (which clearly belongs to the taxpayer) and getting university boffins to work out a way of SAT testing MPs to rank them by value. And Mark's guerrilla antics won't end there...Power to the people is really happening.

Coca-Cola and its logo are everywhere. In our homes, our workplaces, even our schools. It is a company that sponsors the Olympics, backs US presidents and even re-brands Santa Claus.

Child labourers in the sugar cane fields of El Salvador. Indian workers exposed to toxic chemicals. Colombian union leaders falsely accused of terrorism and jailed alongside the paramilitaries who want to kill them. And many more...Provocative, funny and stirring, Belching Out the Devil investigates the truth behind one of the planet's biggest brands.

Where Adventure Meets Discovery is a rollicking fun-filled book of true stories about hunting and about life. The author begins at the beginning remembering his first BB gun, first squirrel hunt, experiencing "the killer instinct" and growing up in rural southern Indiana. As a young man he learns to hunt deer with bow and arrow via the school of hard knocks and recounts experiences to which any hunter can relate. Later he shares exciting adventures hunting boar and axis deer on the islands of Oahu and Molokai in Hawaii with U.S. Navy SEALs and divers. The author learns about God and about life from "watching wild creatures do what they do". He uses humor, faith and warm colloquial Midwest language to paint the scenes and bring you into the adventures. You'll laugh when he thinks he's falling to his death in the pitch black night of the Pali Pass on Oahu. You'll cry when he loses his twin sons to twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome. You'll cheer when he finally secures that first whitetail trophy. You'll be challenged to think while the author struggles with ethics. Hunter and non-hunter alike can relate to the adventurer in these stories, and thrill with exhilaration when that adventure leads to the "ultimate discovery".
