Eighteen Ds Deliver the Goods on Good DealsYou already look for opportunities to succeed by helping others get what they want. Good Deals come in many forms but often require thinking in unique ways and seeing things differently from how others see what is all around us. Here are 18 ways you can get the extraordinary Deals you so greatly desire, utilizing keen insight, steady action, and surprising courage.These are the Ds of the Deal, 18 principles starting with D, that lead you to Deals that provide opportunities to build up cash and equity. Death, Divorce, and Disease are just the first and most obvious sources of Deals. Disaster, Depression, Debt and Demand are in here, as are Dumb, Dumpy, and Drunk. Desire is one of the Ds, not yours but the client's. Next to last is Dirtbag, as in don't be one.The more cash and equity you build up in your business, the more and more fun it gets. Bigger numbers equal bigger fun. Bigger numbers equal bigger risks and equally higher rewards. Those who apply these crucial principles will find similar success-while helping others-because that is what they Desire.

H.U.S.T.L.E. Then RepeatMy focus is to bring you closer to success in every type of endeavor. Your success may not be related to real estate or to car sales, but these ideas apply to any business idea you have or temporal success you desire. Here are the six success principles: Hungry - When people doubt me because of my youth, I tell them I have a wife and baby daughter, so I have HUGE dreams and aspirations, and that I AM HUNGRY. I will do what it takes to satisfy that need.Unthinkable - Short on cash, I traded two trucks for three houses, two depreciating vehicles for three appreciating properties. Who would have thought....Suck up - More than putting your best foot forward, more than saying and doing the right things with a smile, sometimes you have to be a little cocky, strutting around outside your comfort zone.Time - After countless hours of cold calling and an equal number of rejections, after countless drives through several counties, I found the deal I wanted. I didn't feel like a winner during those long weeks, but I was an Olympic gold champion when the deal finally closed.Limitless - You and I don't need to settle for other peoples' limits. I cold called expired real estate listings until I got a lead, but that house had already sold. Instead of just thanking the man, I asked, "What else ya got?" That led not only to the purchase of his other property, but a new strategy that has added five more single-family homes to our portfolio, so far.Efficient - We scrimped and sacrificed for two years and refinanced other properties to pay off our home loan so we could restructure into a HELOC, then apply the BRRRR Method to our new properties.More important than any one of those principles is to Repeat. Repeat, repeat, repeat. Never be satisfied with just one good deal or one good outcome. Repeat these success principles again and again. Read exactly how we applied all six of these success principles in our latest big deal. I am a confident believer that what you think about, write about, talk about, and dream about is what you will accomplish. The more positivity you have in your life, the more positivity you will achieve and attain. A penny for your thoughts? Just a penny? No, a dollar, a hundred dollars, a thousand, a million. A million dollars of potential. You can do it.

The development of international wildlife law has been one of the most significant exercises in international law-making during the last fifty years. This second edition of Lyster's International Wildlife Law coincides with both the UN Year of Biological Diversity and the twenty-fifth anniversary of Simon Lyster's first edition. The risk of wildlife depletion and species extinction has become even greater since the 1980s. This new edition provides a clear and authoritative analysis of the key treaties which regulate the conservation of wildlife and habitat protection, and of the mechanisms available to make them work. The original text has also been significantly expanded to include analysis of the philosophical and welfare considerations underpinning wildlife protection, the cross-cutting themes of wildlife and trade, and the impact of climate change and other anthropogenic interferences with species and habitat. Lyster's International Wildlife Law is an indispensable reference work for scholars, practitioners and policy-makers alike.
