Are there any good books out there that I can get from the library on being a loan signing agent?
Well, do I have a place for you! It's called Chamblin Bookmine and it is my absolutely favorite book store. I love any book store really, Books-A-Million, Barnes & Noble and the list goes on, but the difference with Chamblin's is, not only do they carry new books, they sell tons … (4 comments)
I recently re-read and listened to the audio book by David Allen Getting Things Done - The Art of Stress-Free Productivity. The difference this time - I was ready to put the techniques to use and have discovered a system that works for me. The major aha for me was realizing … (4 comments)

How does an avid reader talk about his five favorite books? I don't think I can choose five favorites. I'v been reading for 60 years and may have thousands of favorites. What I'll do, I think, is choose some recently read and some I think are notable.
I would really like to start a book club with fellow agents. I believe education is good way to improve our business. I have a couple of books in mind to start with. Basically I would like to pick out books as a group and meet monthly to discuss what … (10 comments)
While I'm not a Feng Shui expert, I'm more than well aware that my bookshelves need some help. You see, the problem is that I buy books faster than I can read them. And I'm an avid reader. 
Here is our Holiday Gift to All. We have read these books many times, and yet we enjoy continuing to read them. We have a new family tradition in the making. We are doing something new. We gave up the TV. 
I just finished this book, PEAK, by Chip Conley, CEO and founder of Joie de Vivre Hospitality. It ranged from conversational to textbook in tone, so many people might give up on it, and miss the rest of the AHAs. I enjoyed reading Maslow decades ago, so enjoyed the comparisons. Conley … (3 comments)
Nouveau Riche is selling classes here in Phoenix, AZ on investing in real estate and other services and products. Let me tell you, they are not cheap, at $16,000 you could have invested on learning from books and other classes at a regular university.

While a few writers do make it to the NY Times Best Seller List, something like 80% of authors never even make it to the bottom shelf at Borders. 
I know all of us get to Friday night, thinking "hurrah," - the weekend. And then you blink your eyes, and it is Sunday night. I mean, an hour still has 60 minutes, doesn't it? Why does it all seem to go by so quickly --- especially Saturday and Sunday?
I have recently been introduced to Skippyjon Jones Books by Judy Schachner. My son brought 2 of the books home from School and I have to say that I probably enjoyed to books more than he did (he is 7)!I do not usually feel compelled to write a review of a book of any … (1 comments)

Well almost, actually it was 1:52 pm.
Last week, someone sent me a college textbook called Entrepreneurship, thinking I might like to have it as a reference. I finished the other book I was reading on Sunday, so I decided to read a chapter or two of this one. (It's a pretty large book, so I expected it … (4 comments)
Here's my book of the year. I hate fiction....No wait, I enjoy good fiction, but I never read them. I really think that in order to be great, you need to read about people different and great than you. So I stray to the Bible and to non-fiction..... HOWEVER.....HAVING SAID THAT....my … (9 comments)

We are all 'victims' of the information age.
Anyone remember this book? It's from back in the 1970's, staged in the 1960's. About Russians who set up a charm school to teach other Russians how to infiltrate America and become your next-door neighbor and confident by seeming as natural as yourself... The plot was a little lame, especially now … (4 comments)

In the front of my most recent Life Journal is a "Pledge of Faith" that I took from Beth Moore's study Believing God. Usually I will recommend a book over a DVD, but in this case, while the book is excellent, the DVD series is life changing. Beth gears her talks … (14 comments)
I am a "perpetual student" - I will never know enough. 
I was meme'd by Joey Aszterbaum and I was asked to write a book meme. I called this my "very best" book meme, because it is my first and only book meme. Well, here goes nothing:
I am not sure if you have ever read the book "Who moved my cheese" by Spencer Johnson, MD but in there he talks of the 4 mice and the fact that there is change and we either follow the change or we don't. In today's market, this has to be … (0 comments)
Have you ever been to a bookstore and they didn't have the book you were looking for?

Well, I am certainly a reader and I always am on the look-out for new/oldies books to read and recommend. I read "Positive Impact," by Charlie "Tremendous" Jones and Greg Reid about a month ago and was stunned by its simplicity and the amount of good stuff in it. I told my … (3 comments)

MEN - 
I've been tagged or sent a "MeMe" to list my 5 favorite books. Thank you Susan Milner. By the way Susan is a great blogger but she is also a great Real Estate Agent.
Okay, so I got you to look. Isn't the title more than 50% of what you write? To catch the attention of anyone out in the blogosphere. Micthell Hall tagged me to write my book meme after writing his meme. Book Meme Apparently we can blame these meme's on Carole Cohen … (19 comments)

When I was a baby, a guy knocked on the door selling “Journeys Through Bookland”, an eleven-volume set of the classics for toddlers to teens, from nursery rhymes, to Aesop’ s Fables, to every classic fit for a young person’s consumption. My mom bought a set.The Kennedy children got used to … (5 comments)

I am just going to list the rest of my recommended books.
I recently read a blog talking about bookstores. It joked at the thought that there were probably not any bookstores other than Barnes & Noble. I found myself smile...for a second.

Extraordinary salesmanship can succeed even in ordinary flat markets. Lately these flat and difficult markets have motivated me to pull out the sales books that I had read in the past. So far reading those books have really helped me stay on track. I also was lucky enough to be invited … (0 comments)
Can you believe that only 13% of Americans read at a "proficient" level? This statistic, and some others gathered by The Literacy Company and Evelyn Wood Reading Dynamics are startling to say the least. Consider this - more than 20% of adults read at or below the 5th grade level. 
Something tells me those of you who love to blog also love to read. I bet some of you are pretty darn good writers too, even BTB (Before The Blogosphere). I am starting a meme, which surprises me probably more than it surprises you. I thought it would be a good … (46 comments)
Ok I posted a Networking blog and a few agents responded about being "Purple Cows". Someone please explain exactly what a "Purple Cow" is. It doesn't sound like something good! It sounds like a sick cow with lots of issues. I know its probably something good and there is something behind … (8 comments)
I admit it. I bought the latest book yesterday morning and spent all day on the couch enjoying every moment of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows. It was a day off of work to read the last of a series that has become classic. I can tell you, I wasn't the only adult … (2 comments)
I posted last week about my (slight) obsession with spell check...okay, maybe it's more than slight. I also have a (slight) obsession with grammar. And punctuation. And all things written, in general.
I truly enjoy reading and learning. It's not always easy to find time to read with a busy schedule but when I have found the time I really benefited from these two books by Rhonda Britten - Fearless Living & Change Your Life in 30 Days.

1. How to Win Friends and Influence People - Dale Carnegie
Here are some of my favorite business-related books:
I was just checking out another members profile and their lettering was very small. I still have very good sight but like most people I didn't take the time to read it because it was too small. 
My Barnes and Noble Book order just arrived and it made me realize that I should share some of the books that have been recommended by my mentors. I hope that you find the reads valuable and feel compelled to share your own favorite industry/business related recommendations with us:

Hi everyone,
My family reads voraciously and I have always found it amazing that people pick a book to read over the summer...I just don't seem to have the self control to make one last that long!
