Story
Life is becoming more complicated every day with young adults struggling to meet their expenses, students having a mountain of loans and debt, and retired people aiming for financial freedom. The early 2000s kick-started a revolution that would redefine living standards, possibly for decades. Thousands of Americans are joining the tiny house movement, and if the 2009 housing crisis wasn’t bad enough, the economic impact of COVID-19 might just pull the final lever.

If you're looking for a get-rich-quick scheme, I'm sorry to disappoint but the short term rental business isn’t it. This is going to require time and energy to invest - yet it can be very rewarding. This is the reason why hosts who once listed their room or property on Airbnb, VRBO, or Booking.com - they never go back to long Term rentals. Why? It’s simple - short term rentals make you more money. The contents of this audiobook will certainly give you a competitive edge compare to those staring out unprepared.

At first just the wacky idea of cofounders Brian Chesky, Joe Gebbia, and Nathan Blecharczyk, Airbnb has disrupted the $500 billion hotel industry, and its $30 billion valuation is now larger than that of Hilton and close to that of Marriott.

Publisher's Summary
One hundred percent of our homeless guests enjoy full medical coverage, shelter, food, and transportation within one week! Homeless neighbors come to us “in crisis” and quickly move along a path of self-sufficiency and a continuum of care in multiple areas (i.e., employment, housing, education, mental health, etc.) that build self-esteem and view each as an asset, not a liability.
How did a small town (Ashland, Oregon) address its big problem? This audiobook tells you “how”.
If “homelessness” is indeed a big problem in your town or community, efforts to solve it will be less than optimal without three simple steps and three important mindset shifts that you will discover in this audiobook.

Ah ha and Wow Moments About Homelessness
It is unusual and inspiring to learn practical and life-tested solutions to apply to an issue as devastating and all-consuming as homelessness. Phil Johncock’s approach is grounded in his loved experience of facing real and daunting instances of homelessness in his Ashland, OR community. He presents inspired and creative approaches to actually solving the problems. So many of these ideas can be applied to other communities, since the principles are made to be applied on a local level, and the methodology leaves room for your own brand of partnership and ingenuity. I highly recommend this wonderful resource. You will enjoy some Ah-hah moments and forge your own solutions to positively elevate your own community.
