On the previous New Year’s Eve, I wrote a post (How Many Books Did You Read This Year?) that detailed the number of books I read (30) in 2017. This was in follow-up to an earlier post, You Are What You Read. Personally, the latter article is one of my favorites and in it I shared my personal reading plan.
Read MoreI listened to a past episode of Money Peach (www.moneypeach.com), where Tom Corley, the author of Rich Habits: The Daily Success Habits of Wealthy Individuals, was interviewed.
I started the podcast not knowing what to expect. I’d never heard of Corley nor his book. This would later surprise me, because I thought of myself as a tuned-in reader, especially when it comes to personal finance books. I know I haven’t read all of them related to the subject, but I think I’m at least aware of them. Obviously, not.
Read MoreI stumbled across Grant Cardone on YouTube. Cardone is a motivational trainer and a real estate advisor. I don’t remember what topic I was researching when I first discovered him but there was a video for Cardone, so I clicked it. The guy was full of energy and charisma. I liked his message and filed away the name.
Read MoreEarlier this year, I wrote the post You Are What You Read in which I discussed the well-documented argument that successful people read
I also talked about my reading plan: For every book I read for pleasure, I will read one book for education.

Read MoreOne of the fascinating things about Robert Kiyosaki’s Rich Dad, Poor Dad was the idea that the wealthy teach their kids different things than the poor or middle class.
Read MoreMy girlfriend gave me The Power of Now: a Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment by Eckhart Tolle a couple years ago. At the time, I’d just read my first book on Stoicism and was intrigued by the idea of a philosophy that would help me find tranquility in life. She’d read a review of Tolle’s book and thought it might be something I’d find interesting.
Read MoreI first read Robert Kiyosaki’s Rich Dad, Poor Dad about a decade ago. I got fired up about the ideas that Kiyosaki presented, but my personal financial habits were a mess and the idea of getting into real estate investing seemed so far away.
Read MoreI love that title. It’s also the title to Robert Ringer’s 1973 classic about selling commercial real estate. It’s the first book that I found to discuss the realities of being a commercial broker. However, the book deals with much more than that subject.
Read MorePreviously, I worked for a national mall developer. My job was to handle the local leasing (basically short term deals and kiosks) for three malls in my market. Initially, it was a great job, but soon the excitement wore off. I eventually ended up complaining about not getting promoted as others around me moved up in the company.
Read MoreThe previous weekend, my girlfriend and I listened to an audio book of The 4-Hour Work Week by Tim Ferriss. I’d seen the title when browsing my favorite book stores but always brushed it off as some sort of hokum.
