Brio Tacoma Book club....

By
Real Estate Agent with Living Puget Sound

Books 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 we have learned and what how it has helped us in our business.

 

The main benefits would be: 

 

 

  • Education ~ learning from the books, explaining your interpretation, and hearing other insights.
  • Comradery ~ I believe there is value in a meeting of the minds. This will bring us closer together.
  • Accountability ~ Being a part of something and being responsible to the group.
  • Fun ~ Just to sit back and laugh and have a good time with eachother.


 Please submit any ideas you have or comments below. Keep in mind that we don't have to read books just on Real Estate. We can read books on inspiration, selling, marketing, Search Engine Optimization, whatever we decide on as a group. The main point is to just keep reading and to keep our personal knowledge growing. 

This club will be open to anyone who wants to join it. If we can get 4 people to start we can outline the details from there. I look forward to learning with you.

Ryan - sounds like a good idea. Maybe you can expand your group to include the entire Puget Sound area? Will you create a group here on AR?....might make things easier to coordinate and communicate...just go to the 'Group' link at the top of the page, and create a Group.

Rich, sounds like a great idea. I'll set up the Group and do a couple of invitations. I would like to hear your ideas about what books we could start with.

Well, lately, I've been reading more fictional works. But I've got a number of business-related titles to consider. "Realty Blogging" by Nacht & Chaney (I'm about 1/2 way through that one) or "Blogging for Dummies" by Brad Hill. "Podcasting Hacks" by Jack Herrington is another useful Web 2.0 read. As far as simple mindless fiction reads, I like anything by Greg Iles, Ridley Pearson, or Richard North Patterson. Ken Follett just released his sequel to "Pillars of the Earth."

Like it, of course I will be in your book club Ryoprah. I am looking forward to getting to know our agents and swapping ideas. Thank you for the book on Tuesday...so far it is a good read.

Well, we have three interested. I think the magic number is 4. Lets see if we can drum up some more interest.

Rich and Krisy,

It looks like we didn't get the response we were hoping for. I'm going to try to get this club going again. I'm not sure where to start. If you think of anything let me know. Also, I'm not opposed to doing it with just us three for the first book.

Maybe if you renamed the group, and expanded it to include all of the Puget Sound area, then we might get more response? Or we could simply promote it within our sphere of contacts here?

I am in.  I heard "Time Traps" by Todd Duncan is a good read.
