    Top Reasons Why You Should Never Invest in Opening a Franchise Business: Advantages And Disadvantages of Being a Franchisee, and How to Make the Money to Afford to Buy Your Own Franchise Business , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 92min
    This essay sheds light on the top reasons why you should never invest in opening a franchise business and also elucidates the advantages and disadvantages of being a franchisee. Moreover, how to make the money in order to afford to buy your own franchise business is delineated in this essay.There are ample reasons as to why you should desist from ever investing in opening a franchise business that go beyond incurring enormous high-start up costs and lacking any modicum of creative control over your franchise business as a franchisee. First and foremost, franchisers are typically not transparent about the actual earnings of their franchisees. When franchisers supply earnings possibilities, they have a proclivity to provide “average sales figures and profits before expenses are deducted” (“Want to buy,” n.d.). This is problematic when determining if procuring a franchise business warrants the investment since profitability is greatly overestimated when all the business expenses are taken into account. A diligent investor and prospective franchise owner must take all the business operating expenses into account in order to ascertain if opening a franchise business warrants the investment. Investors should not be solely reliant upon the questionable reported earnings provided to them by the franchiser when it comes to determining if the investment in opening a franchise business warrants the opportunity cost. Second, another deterrent appertaining to investing in opening a franchise business, beyond its enigmatic profitability, is that you will have to pay royalty payments to the franchiser in perpetuity each month as a franchisee which further abates your earnings potential. These royalty payments will severely undermine the profitability of your franchise business since they are “based on a percentage of the sales” (“Want to buy,” n.d.). Third, another calamitous issue with investing in opening a franchise business beyond having ungekürzt.

    History in 30: The Life of Lawrence of Arabia , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 49min
    I've been and am absurdly overestimated. There are no supermen, and I'm quite ordinary, and will say so whatever the artistic results. In that point, I'm one of the few people who tell the truth about myself. - Lawrence of Arabia He was recognized by many as a curious scholar and archaeologist, brilliant linguist, British soldier, extraordinary adventurer, and avid writer, though he called himself an "ordinary man". He was a gifted translator, a shrewd diplomat, a brilliant tactician, and an instinctive leader. T. E. Lawrence, more popularly known as Lawrence of Arabia, was a seminal figure in the shaping and reshaping of the politics of Arabia in the early 20th century, serving as an expert in Arab affairs in the British military and playing a key role in the Great Arab Revolt of 1916-1918. World War I, also known as the Great War of 1914-1918, was one of the deadliest conflicts in human history, leading to the deaths of millions of soldiers and civilians, and it was a war that produced too many casualties and too few heroes. However, after the war was over, the world was told of the blonde-haired, blue-eyed British officer named Thomas Edward Lawrence, and his experiences in Arabia during the fighting. Pictures of Lawrence in a flowing white robe of Arabia’s Bedouin tribes were distributed, and Lawrence’s autobiography, Seven Pillars of Wisdom, further catapulted his fame and sensationalized his public image. Lawrence’s story served to boost the spirits of many who were struggling to recover after the tragedy of the war. It is telling of just how remarkable the tale is that the world’s fascination with Lawrence of Arabia has endured today. Articles, books, films, and documentaries about Lawrence and his exploits are continuously released on an annual basis. Historian Phillip Knightley once commented, "Along with Winston Churchill, [T. E. Lawrence] remains perhaps the best-known Englishman in the world." Decades since ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Scott Clem.

    The Young Napoleon: The Life and Legacy of George B. McClellan , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 138min
    McClellan is to me one of the mysteries of the war. (Ulysses S. Grant) Over the last 150 years, historians and Americans have endlessly debated over the Civil War, including its causes and the best and worst generals. Nowhere has there been a sharper debate than over the career and legacy of George McClellan, with a majority viewing him as the North's biggest goat and a small but vocal minority insisting that McClellan was a very good general who was made a scapegoat by the Lincoln Administration and its supporters. Many members of the "McClellan Society" continue to assert that McClellan would have ended the war in 1862 without the Administration's interference. In 1861, McClellan was looked upon as a hero and even possibly a savior. Dubbed "The Young Napoleon", the 35 year old had been a prodigy at West Point, finishing in second place in the Academy's most famous class, the Class of 1846. After earning praise for his service in the Mexican-American War, McClellan had a short but successful career in the railroad industry and had been a foreign observer at the siege of Sevastopol during the Crimean War. At the outbreak of the Civil War, there was no question that McClellan was one of the brightest and most experienced of the North's generals. Ultimately, of course, McClellan went from hero to goat, at least in the eyes of President Lincoln, who famously wrote that McClellan "has the slows". It was a sharp critique of McClellan's cautious movements, but McClellan was also faulted for conservative battlefield leadership in the Peninsula Campaign and at Antietam. McClellan also constantly overestimated his opponent's manpower, at times thinking the Confederates had double his Army of the Potomac when the exact opposite was the case. It was after Antietam and his bickering with the War Department over why he wasn't chasing Lee's battered Army of Northern Virginia that Lincoln finally sacked him, effectively ending his Civil War caree ungekürzt.
