Larry Bell is the owner of Destination Discovery—a tour and travel company specializing in small group travel. They organize and manage tours in the United States, Western Canada, France, England, Italy and Morocco.

He had an interesting and eventful career in the United States Air force–but he flunked retirement. Larry sold real estate for a while, substituted in the local school system and taught some college courses. Teaching was quite satisfying—real estate, not so much.

One thing he really enjoyed about serving in the Air force was the opportunity to travel. He remembers the advice someone once gave about deciding on a career, “Find something you are passionate about and figure out how to make a little money doing it.” Through a series of coincidences, Larry found out that he could actually travel and get paid to do it. He had never even considered it before.

When Belinda was forty-eight, she collapsed with herniated discs and spinal nerve damage. Threatened with paralysis by her medical doctors if she didn’t have surgery, Belinda instead chose to apply the ancient Hawaiian healing practices she had been learning the previous three years, which are covered in this book. Her back completely healed, including childhood scoliosis. For fifteen years she has been sharing these healing practices with others, offering Reconnective Healing and Huna classes and taking clients to Hawaii to teach Huna and swim with wild spinner dolphins.

As a former stock-trading instructor, Kate Stalter brings a wealth of experience to her role as the founder of Better Money Decisions. The clients of Better Money Decisions are benefiting from the perspective Kate gained while teaching thousands of investors how to trade use fundamental and technical analysis. Kate traveled the country, teaching the Investor’s Business Daily seminars. She also hosted the “Small-Cap Roundup” radio show, heard on stations around the U.S. She continues to be a regular columnist for U.S. News & World Report, Morningstar, Forbes,com, TheStreet.com and other venues.

“Trading stocks is fun and exciting,” she says. “But eventually, I realized that the way most people approached trading had no relationship to their overall financial plan. It’s actually easier to trade than it is to stop and really consider why you are investing. Do you want to fund your retirement? Leave something to your children and grandchildren? When I became a financial planner, instead of a stock trader, I immediately saw a much greater opportunity to help people realize their goals.” Kate finds it most gratifying to help a client make decisions about a 401(k), a brokerage account, an annuity or an inheritance, and to frame those decisions within the client’s overall objective. “It’s like putting together the various pieces of a puzzle, so you can see the bigger picture. This is totally different from picking a stock trade,” she says.

But through her work in the media, Kate understands that the financial Web sites and TV channels continue to favor hot stock picking over sound financial planning. “I meet with a lot of people who are unfamiliar with anything beyond the Dow, or maybe the S&P and some of the bigger Nasdaq stocks. There’s a whole world of investments out there, and it’s crucial to be properly diversified. But the financial media tell you almost nothing beyond what the U.S. markets did today,” Kate says. “And almost always, those market reports create confusion and uncertainty, rather than peace of mind.”

Better Money Decisions with Kate Stalter

Marc Miller’s career journey included 22 years at IBM, several thriving tech startups, a stint as a high school math teacher, a gig raising funds for the Jewish Community Center and a near fatal bicycle accident that changed his perspective forever.

But after thirty years of wandering the proverbial career desert, often repeating the same mistakes over and over, Marc learned his most crucial lesson:

Most people don’t really know what makes them happy at their core, what fulfills them.

They pursue money, status, a skill set, all of which provide some level of satisfaction, but not contentment. They wind up feeling frustrated and trapped. Others have figured out what they need, but don’t know how to chart a course to get there.

An active member of the Launch Pad Job Club, Marc found himself counseling friends and associates on their career journeys and finally realized he’d found his vocation. He now uses his extensive training experience to help others—especially Baby Boomers—find careers that they could grow into for the decades that lie ahead.

Adrienne Hew is a licensed holistic nutritionist and she is passionate about creating healthy bodies.

Unfortunately, too many women today are plagued with failing health despite their best attempts to do everything right as the self-proclaimed health experts have laid out for them. This not only costs them their fertility, it is also the leading cause of obesity, asthma, allergies, ear infections and autism in children as well as many other health conditions that are on the rise.

She has been around the block and at one point was one of the unhealthiest people walking the planet even though she ate a diet considered healthy by both conventional dietitians and so-called holistic (or as she likes to call them, “half-istic”) practitioners. Today she is one of the healthiest people she knows, not so much because of lifestyle as much as because she is not suffering with diseases that her peers have developed since her recovery. And guess what, she does almost everything contrary to what the experts suggest.
