You’re about to discover powerful insight into the CDL business that has been buried deep within the hearts of the millionaire truck drivers. Truckers are the lifeline of any country. Food, fuel, fashion—you name it! Everything depends on the trucking industry to move cargo from point A to point B. The CDL business is one of the biggest cash cows in the world, eyeing a market worth of over $730 billion in the US alone. And with a little over 900,000 truckers employed in the US, the CDL trucking industry is running short on people and BIG on opportunities.

You may think you don’t have the time or the money to start a big permaculture project. But permaculture doesn’t need to be overwhelming. You can start as small as you like, and you can move at a pace that suits you. Don’t feel you have to learn everything in one go and rush out to transform a whole wilderness in a year. Just deal in manageable chunks, and you’ll do just fine. Even if all you have done is tend to a few tomato plants on your window ledge, you can become an expert gardener; all it takes is a little time, patience, and practice.

In this book, I will describe elements in ourselves that contribute to what I call the “stupidity factor” of our future selves. I will present tips and techniques that you can use for taming that incorrigible future self to be less…stupid. Because when you realize your future self is still you, you will most likely behave the same way your present self behaves in the future. That’s an advantage because the future self will never magically change or surprise you with new behaviors. That’s a fact!

In fact, it's been said that the only two things that are certain in life are death and taxes - and nobody looks forward to either of them. As an entrepreneur, you know the value you bring to the table. You help create jobs, provide services, and give back with your time and effort.

The eggs are a delectable temptation, they are tastier and more fresh than any eggs that can be purchased in a supermarket, and they are also superior for use in baking. Even though keeping chickens may sound like a delightful hobby, the majority of individuals who are interested in beginning their own flock simply do not know how to get started.

Richard Dawkins' brilliant reformulation of the theory of natural selection has the rare distinction of having provoked as much excitement and interest outside the scientific community as within it. His theories have helped change the whole nature of the study of social biology, and have forced thousands to rethink their beliefs about life.

Self-sufficiency no matter where you live!
We live in the city but wanted to get the skills and know how to live more self-sufficiently and this book helped up get started. I was impressed with all of the many great ideas on how to create a homestead in smaller spaces than what most people think of as an off grid homestead, which is not desired or obtainable for many. Any how I feel more comfortable with the canning process with my first garden. Great for beginners no matter where you live. Highly recommend!
