First step to making your comeback.........

As the author of Extraordinary Comebacks, how very well I know that financial setbacks are one of the most common. But they can be overcome. One of our 201 comeback story subjects started with $200, and built a reported $20 million business (Paula Deen)! A trader lost $800,000 in one day, and spent years working two jobs to pay it back -- but when he did, he was on the road to becoming a top futures trader (Mark D. Cook). Even Donald Trump faced insolvency, and bankruptcy (1990). So if you've been knocked down, financially, you're in good company indeed. They all made a comeback, so can you. But how to raise a few hundred or a few thousand if you're strapped? Author Richard E. Schell has done a yeomen's duty here of cataloging literally scores of ways to come up with cash that may not have occurred to you under the major headings: ask for it, borrow it, sell it, earn it, find it. Extensive lists onboard will fire your gray matter and get you brainstorming. Many helpful links to creative web sites as well. Just as important: advice on what NOT to do during your financial crisis (you don't want legal problems in addition; the author is an attorney). Highly recommended.

Helps You Breathe Easier During Tough Financial Times

This book is a no-nonsense, user friendly guide with great suggestions for finding and making quick money when you need it most - like when you're out of work or about to be "downsized." The author knows what he's talking about and it shows. His advice and instructions can make the difference between holding on or falling apart. I highly recommend Richard Schell's book, Quick Cash, to anyone in financially draining circumstances. And these days, that seems to be more and more of us!

Quick Read for Quick Cash

I heard author Richard Schell speak about Quick Cash, and found the book as easy to read as Schell was to listen to -- and just as self-deprecating and humorous at times. Schell is right, the strategies to raise cash -- whether it is to pay off bills or decide whether your child is going to Camp Timberwolf or Camp Nickelodeon for the summer are with in reach -- just so long as you don't wait for someone to hand you money for doing nothing! Schell tells you just what to do.
