“I'm reading an excellent book right know called Terri Murphy's Listing and Selling Secrets (Dearborn, 1995) by Terri Murphy. I’m really enjoying this book because she provides you with ideas and systems that you can use to have a great real estate career while balancing your personal life. I'm reading this book to learn more ways on how to be efficient and successful in my work. After all, knowledge is power!”

“I love this book — Meditations (Penguin Classics, 2006) by Marcus Aurelius — because it walks us through a great emperor’s mind which has inspired me to make a conscious daily choice in life: To fall a victim or rise a champion. People that lose in life believe others beat them down, when people that win in life know that winning is within.”

“I just finished reading the The Little Black Book of Connections (Bard Press, 2006) by Jeffrey Gitomer. While this book isn’t geared specifically toward REALTORS®, it is geared toward anyone wanting to make connections in sales. It’s a great book … very easy to read, interesting, and his suggestions are all practical and can be implemented almost immediately.”
