Discovering Your Inner Strength

By
Education & Training with Retired Executive Director of Education at eXp Non-Licensed

It's not often enough that I take the time to honor and recognize some of our outstanding members and contributors here on ActiveRain.  Today I want to share with you a particular member I think you all need to know about.

One of our ActiveRain Founding Members, Patti Kouri joins Ken Blanchard, Brian Tracy & Stephen Covey in a new book, "Discover Your Inner Strength."  According to a PRWeb Press Release Newswire this morning, it looks like one of our very own has been discovered, and is well on her way to a very successful and exciting future.

"Patti Kouri, keynote speaker and author, has been selected from a
nationwide search to be featured in Discover Your Inner Strength, a highly successful book series from Tennessee based Insight Publishing.  The book features best-selling authors Stephen R. Covey (Seven Habits of Highly Effective People), Brian Tracy (Million Dollar Habits), and Ken Blanchard (One Minute Manager). Patti Kouri, Blanchard, Covey and Canfield, are joined by other well known authors and speakers, each offering time-tested strategies for success in frank and intimate interviews."

Patti has been a contributing member of ActiveRain since February 6, 2008, when she posted her very first article, "TOP TEN PROFIT HOLES".  She has since posted some great value-added articles for her readers and our members.  I have really enjoyed reading her Blog and watching her grow on ActiveRain.  Sneak a peek for yourself.


Some of Patti's Inspirational and Motivational posts include:

Brad,

Inner strength is what we all in real estate and mortgages need right now. Great to be in the same network with an accomplished author like Patti Kouri. Got to keep an eye on her posts from now on.

Read your post about the "Not Satisfied Tour" Nathan, and I'm sorry to hear that. Gotta winder how they came up with that name?  The Not Satisfied Tour?  Hmm...  I can tell you that I don't think Patti does business or conducts herself this way.
