I read recently that President Bush, often criticized for not being very intelligent, reads 60-90 books per year WHILE HOLDING DOWN THE JOB AS PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, POSSIBLY THE MOST TAXING JOB ON THE PLANET! Ok, well, that got my attention since I read about four books a year including a couple of newspaper pull-outs from Target and I was duly shamed. So, I have set a goal of fifty books this year. Yes, 50. That's a lot for me. It will mean turning off the t.v. set a couple of hours earlier each day which means I won't be able to hear the CNN reports that the world is basically turning to mush around us.
I started my new undertaking with a great real estate book, "Shift" by Gary Keller, founder of Keller Williams International. Now, I'm from a different brand so I'm not a KW agent scoring points for the team leader. But I've become a fan of Keller's after having read his other works, "Millionaire Real Estate Agent" and "Millionaire Real Estate Investor". Keller has an accounting background and can work the numbers behind a real estate business like everyone should be able to but few can. In this new book, Keller gives us some great ideas on how to prosper in a shifting market. This isn't a "pump you up" book although it does that, also. It's a practical, meat-and-potatoes guide/reminder filled with information that will help us all get through this down time. I think you'll like the book, let me know what you're reading.
Well, gotta go. I've heard Wal-Mart has a new insert in the paper today.
Keep 'er steady.
