Book Description
Changing the focus of the multibillion-dollar global aerospace business toward smaller, lower-cost spacecraft is not happening solely due to technical, managerial, financial or market motivations. Rick Fleeter's second book on the small, low-cost space programmes which are the fastest-growing segment of aerospace activity, gives the reader a keen understanding of the full spectrum of factors driving this profound change. The text then goes beyond engineering technologies and management techniques to envision the tantalizing prospects microspace has in store for the industry, its present markets and those of the future.

Soon the kangaroo outgrows Jasper's shack, so both decide that they should find some place better. The day Jasper mounts Kaylia's back will change his life, for that day he discovered that if you had a way to hold on it was actually possible to mount the kangaroo and ride it. Soon after while in one of the local towns the head of the messenger services in their realm notices Jasper and his mount, and decides that the boy would be able to make a fairly decent messenger. So he inquires the boy about becoming a messenger to run mail and packages around their country of Northern Austra while astride the back of his giant kangaroo. Meanwhile, Jasper also eventually tries to seek out the other giant kangaroos in an effort to be able to eventually release Kaylia, so that she can return to where she belongs and have her freedom as he believes she could. At the time he doesn't believe that she belongs with him, since she should be free and be able to live in the wild. For he knows that if she would have never been attacked by the dingoes that she would have grown up as a wild, and free giant kangaroo. Jasper will do all he can to try to get the chance to release Kaylia back into the wild, if that's even possible. Come along for the ride of your life as a mounted messenger on the back of a kangaroo in The Kangaroo's Messenger.

Meant for More
Author: Lisa Sasevich
Publisher: Hay House, Inc
ISBN: 1401965342
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 218
Book Description
An award-winning entrepreneur and business coach outlines an easy-to-follow formula that helps you own your unique value, make more money, have more impact, and get more out of life--all without being pushy or sales-y. Meant for More is a How to Win Friends and Influence People for the modern age. It shows you how to stand out in an increasingly noisy world by simply offering your unique skills and talents and helping others do the same. It offers tangible skills to use in all areas of your life, including work, to increase your success and do good while you're at it. It speaks to people looking to leave the 9-to-5 for more freedom and fulfillment; stay-at-home moms going back to work; young Boomers worried they're too senior (and expensive) to find new jobs; idealistic Gen Xers and Millennials unwilling to toe the company line; and experts in any field who want to cash in on their expertise while making a difference. In Meant for More, an award-winning entrepreneur and business coach outlines the formula for getting the "more" you've been longing for: a proven system to sell yourself and your one-of-a-kind gifts to the people you were meant to help and reap the rewards that come when you stop giving away your gifts for free. The Meant for More Formula helps you upgrade your mind-set, unwrap your unique gifts, claim your value, and make irresistible offers so you can get what you're worth and make the difference you're here to make--in a way that isn't remotely pushy or sales-y. We all long for more: More impact. More success. More fulfillment. More abundance. More freedom. More joy. But it's not necessarily easy to fulfill this longing. We all know someone who clearly has so much to offer the world but who holds back out of fear--fear of failure, or of success; fear of putting herself "out there"; fear of being perceived as pushy or full of himself. Maybe that person is you.
